No one has any idea where the above footage came from. No one knows if it's official, fan-made, or leaked. It could be Ubisoft making a fake YouTube account and posting a video, it could be someone's college project, or it could be an official trailer released without an accompanying press release. It's also unknown if it's real-time, pre-rendered, or even in-game. What we do know, however, is that it shows the main character of Beyond Good and Evil (and, presumably, Beyond Good and Evil 2) being awesome.

It's easy to write it off as pre-rendered, but some bits of the footage do seem to be... controlled. The movements are a bit canned, but I'm not sure we wouldn't have said the same thing if a trailer for Assassin's Creed was shot in a similar way. Ubisoft could very well be using the AC engine to power Beyond Good and Evil 2, which would give Jade's word a good amount of interactivity. One of the things that made the original so popular was the blending together of various genres, so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities to have a some HUDless free-running portions where she needs to escape.

So, what does everyone think? Real? Fake? First?
