Today at the Ubisoft E3 press event in Los Angeles, we got a deeper look than before at the space opera prequel, Beyond Good and Evil 2. After a nice long trailer showing the crew of a mothership headed out into the vastness of space. Narrative director for the game Gabrielle Shrager took to the stage with senior producer Guillaume Brunier to show off the latest trailer for this hotly anticipated game, which focused on the main characters for the upcoming title.
While we already knew that Pey'j would be a main character in this second Beyond Good and Evil title, the first person we see is a new one, the wholistic chief medical officer, Uma, who is razzing Pey'j about the quality of his food. The characters are the real heart of the game, said Shrager in a trailer breakdown video released soon after the trailer itself. The monkey we all loved from the teaser trailer last year, Noxx, is present and accounted for, as well. We also get a quick look at daredevil pilot Shaunie, engineer Callum and the skull-headed AI that helps run the ship. The crew is searching for their lost captain, Dakini, and have ended up somewhere within the rings of an alien planet in doing so.
The trailer the shows the ship being attacked, and you'll see a bunch of hybrid characters running around in the confusion, like a hybrid shark, for instance. You'll get to choose your own crew for missions, and then seamlessly jump from mothership to fighter ship to jetpack and even board other ships. Suddenly, there's a huge enemy ship, filled with enemies from the previous game, as denoted by their familiear red helmet lights. Ultimately, the whole crew ends up facing down a shadowy figure on the enemy ship. It's Jade from Beyond Good and Evil! This fits in with the backstory from the original game, where Jade hints at having a dark past.
The new trailer is a gorgeous bit of game film-making, for sure. Check out the breakdown video below, which has even more detail on the trailer and the upcoming title.

After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...
It's official. Sprint is definitely giving away free unlimited LTE data through 2018 to those who use laptops packing Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor. We first learned of this last month , and the announcement today clarifies which devices qualify. If you own or buy the HP Envy X2 , ASUS NovaGo or Lenovo Miix 630 , you'll be able to get free unlimited data if you sign up for AutoPay with the carrier. This won't cover devices using the new Snapdragon 850 chipset , although that's not available in an actual computer yet, and we'll possibly hear more later this year. Always-available data connectivity is perhaps the biggest selling point of Windows on Snapdragon devices, which promise gigabit LTE speeds wherever you are. While it would be nice to see other carriers offer similar deals, just to have an alternative option, this offer makes these...
ASUS may well have pulled out of the Android smartwatch market after its ZenWatch 3 , but it's actually not quite done yet with wearables. At Computex, the company made a little surprise by unveiling the VivoWatch BP, which is a follow-up to the original low-power VivoWatch from three years ago. We're looking at a handful of new features and improvements here, with the main highlight being the built-in blood pressure monitor -- a rare feature in the smartwatch category. The only other recent direct competitor is the Omron HeartGuide , which is also due to lau nch later this year. The VivoWatch BP won't be winning praises for its appearance. While the previously monochromatic high-reflective display has now gained some colors, it's also gained a much thicker bezel to accommodate extra sensors on the front. The screen is positioned i...
