News Beyond Good and Evil 2 confirmed

Joe just gave a whoop of joy. Why? Because Michel Ancel has confirmed that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is in the works, kind of.

 

I played the game when it released on xbox. I truly loved it, the atmosphere was really good and so was the story.
Im glad to hear a second one is in the works. Here's hoping it'll deliver

 

being worked on but not in full production yet damn

 

Do you always talk about yourself in the third person? That's either over-excitement or a sign of impending madness - or, more likely, a bit of both.

I played the original back in the day but never got round to finishing it. Perhaps I should dig the disc out and give it another whirl before the sequel comes along.

It'd be a damn shame if this game doesn't get a sequel, especially when you compare it to some of the dross that gets sequels (some developers appear to use the first iteration of a game as an extended beta test)

 

No doubt it's a very very good game (a little bit Porco Rosso- no bad thing), but "gut-wrenchingly emotional"? I'm not so sure. I think his crush on Jade has given Joe some very rose tinted glasses. <prepares to have his account deleted>

 

I really did find it gut-wrenching - I was literally in tears at two points in the game when

the orphanage is destroyed

and

..not telling...

, but that's why I like it so much. No other game has actually had me sobbing except for this one, which is actually quite staggering. Rose-tinted glasses probably have a little bit of an effect, but it is a great game and though the very final minute is a bit of a letdown, the first 10 hours are a through exercise in excellent game design. Ancel deserved the French knighthood he got for the game.

 

My friend has this on PS2. I'll have to play it in "HD" on his PS3 sometime.....

 

Awesome, I should really get round to finishing it, I enjoyed what I played of it, very fun game.

 

it on the post-exam list, along with psyconauts and ico

 

Awesome. Awesome game, will be awesome to have a sequel!

 

I was incredibly dissapointed when the BGE series got canned in favor of Prince of Persia. I am so looking forward to its return!

 

best. game. ever. played!

and now a sequel!

BUT, i shall not get my hopes up, as high hopes always ends in disappointment

 

The Trailer aired on UbiDays...Featuring Payj in a in game engine cinematic....But Jade was seen but not shown precisely.
