I hope to god that the gameplay leak footage isn't fake. It simply looks like an amazing game. I'm very very excited for this now!

Nope, nothing in this film is directly copied from Mirror's Edge. But, for example, Jade's parkour movements are probably inspired by DICE's game.

That new video could very well be beyond good and evil 2. If you watch the pig video you can see jade crouching under the umbrella thing on the car, she looks alot like the person in the new video.
It appears they may be going for a more realistic gritty appearance on the game. I kind of liked the cartoon style they had in the first so not sure about the new graphic style.

Yeah, but that's a different video. That one I trust. I just think that the gameplay video heavily relies on images based in mirror's edge, to the point where if it is released with that gameplay, it will be labelled a mirror's edge clone.

Video was not a fake. Also, I should've posted this here instead of GD, but anyway, the game is also apparently not guaranteed to come out (link).

They have an official trailer, it's about a 99% guarantee that the game will be released. That being said as of now the games only for xbox 360 and ps3, which is a little disappointing.

But has anyone seen a legitimate gameplay video for BG&E 2 that is actual ingame footage other than the one that looks like mirrors edge? Link?

Nope.

Found a sad piece of news yesterday..
BG&E 2 seems to be on hold, and that's probably not a good sign.

I heard about it too. Disappointing news. :(

Google Translation of the text:
Although that is still not formally announced the existence of "Beyond Good & Evil 2" is a reality for Ubisoft, which has even cracked already a first teaser opening Ubidays 2008. Contacted by the editor to know the progress of the project, the French publisher has assured us that development "taking its course" and was not interrupted.
Asked about the ambiguous statements of the President of the American branch, Laurent Detoc, June ( "As to whether or not there is another [BG & E], it remains to be seen"), spokesman of the parent company has also sought to reassure the title is always provided and continues her pregnancy. And sweep the same time, at least officially, the latest rumors on the date in brackets project. There are now only waiting for communication around the track starts - finally - on the road.
