There Is A Beyond Good & Evil 2 (Sort Of)

It's OK. Rub your eyes. I did. But it's true: Beyond Good & Evil creator Michel Ancel has told French magazine JeuxVideo that work on a sequel to one of the past decade's most underappreciated titles is underway. And not just underway, but it's been underway for around a year now, with 10-12 staff toiling away on pre-production duties. Good news, yes? Well, sit back down, Mr Bernard Excitey-Pants, because there's a catch: Ubisoft have yet to green-light the project and kick it up into full production. Yes, I'm as confused and angry as you are. No, I have no idea why the hell they're stalling on this.

This does give me hope. If they have it all set up, that would significantly reduce the production costs, and thus the risk. So even if it has niche sales, it could still turn a profit.

 

Here's hoping. 

 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

One of the best games last gen. I can't wait to play the sequel. What an amazing game!

I hope it comes to Wii. Stickfighting and photographing are very much suited for the system.



Ubisoft was talking about wanting to make Quality games for Wii... Well, GET ON IT UBISOFT!

Well, it could finally be a "Nintendo-like" quality game from Ubisoft, that is if they give the project the green light and it ends up on the Wii. There is no platform announced though, so it could end up being on another platform or multiplatform as well.



Ubisoft had better green light this project. If it doesn't come out on a system I own then I will buy it at play it at a friends place.
