You know, after characters pull a float 'n glow stunt, they often become kinda different.
Still, why are people saying that this is so new? There was some platforming in BG&E, and really, it makes sense that an investigative journalist would be doin' some acrobatics.
Really, though, I can see them going in an all new direction with BG&E2, its just that they didn't have it wrong the first time. We're all here expectin' that they rehash the original system in something worthy of the standard of this generation.
They stuck Peyj and Jade in the desert.
The formula of seperate caverns 'n such has become ineffectual when you can walk on the space between areas, rather than have to rely on a boat. And unless they just plop caves everywhere, then things have to change.
And if its a different planet, no previous characters or species necessary.
Its just a shame in so many ways. There was so much going for the original, and I hate all that goodness to just die.
Wait, this is what spinoffs are for.
Where's the little blue girl who speaks DomZ!
And really, in this day and age, where would we need investigative journalism more than in a hot, desert-y climate? I think they're trying to relate the game to us. Our fears, our world.
