From time to time, Spawn Kill staff takes a look at some of their favorite games and what made them so special. In this installment, Snarkasaur remembers Beyond Good and Evil, Ubisoft's cult favorite Action Adventure.
Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition first details and screenshots revealed following the original leak.
Awesome. I love this game
Now people can give it a try if they haven't, hopefully finish it and see how much Ubisoft is butchering the sequel with whatever "thing" they've produced that clearly isn't a true sequel.
No worries. That Sequel will never see the light of day. The second they brought "almost Robin" out and talked about that lame joke collab they were doing I knew it was dead.
Personally I'm excited for the 40th Anniversary Edition which will have an Extras Menu with an "all new" trailer for BGE2 coming soon!
The unannounced title has been classified for PC and consoles…
Tell me about it
All this Anniversary edition will do it reignite love for the first game and make people question why we didn’t get a straight forward sequel
What we are getting…that shit is not Beyond Good and Evil
Most folks lost all their interest in the sequel when they (Ubi) announced their weird plans for it.
Will it be a straight up port or some actual improvements will be made for 20th anniversary
Beyond Good and Evil 2, the long-awaited platformer sequel from Ubisoft, is still in development, as Skull and Bones gets delayed and three games are cancelled
Yep, probably a PS7 launch title at this rate. Yawn.
Tell us when it has a release date within 6 months. Until then, just shush.
Unpopular opinion a couple of years ago but BG&E2 was always going to be an over-hyped flop
if it released any time around that gameplay trailer they showed, i would have been pretty hyped. Now i lost all trust that it will come out well though.
Don’t remind me
Why Evil Jade…OH THATS RIGHT because a year and a half before that trailer they saw the criticism that it was a prequel and we wanted the original characters
First it’s a prequel and then it become so some of sequel?
It’s all over the place
All I am waiting for from Ubi is the Splinter Cell Remake.
... and will be cautiously keeping an eye out for AC Mirage (since it wont be an RPG) & whatever Ubisoft Massive is cooking (Star Wars and Avatar).
That's it.
I invested a few hundred into Ubisoft just because they are so cheap at this point.
Waiting to see if they look to be bought out or, if nothing else, interest will rise once the next Assassin's Creed is close to release.
Win win.
I'm assuming they're going to sell the Farcry IP off and just double down on AC and Tom Clancy titles.
I am potentially looking to buy a few k shares just for the hell of it as they could be acquired or make a turnaround in a couple years but I’m waiting for a red day . We will see . I did this with Sony , AMD and Nintendo years ago and it worked out quite nicely for me . But as I assume you know sometimes it doesn’t work out especially like that . I generally only buy companies I like and I like AMD Sony and Nintendo but Ubi goes against my general rule . So does MS but I have made good money from MS over the years and I don’t invest in them because of gaming it’s because of their good servers and windows monopoly but I dislike them as a company and don’t currently own their stock but If there’s a crash or large dip again like COVID I will probably get back in .
I may not do it (Ubi) but I do believe they are worth more long term with the IP they have and talent developer wise . Maybe they get an outsider to shake things up because it’s management that’s f’d things up. That’s what they need more than anything , a shake up in management and direction .
I'd never give direct financial advice, but I'm already looking to up what I've already put in.
I just do this stuff passively, but I've made some good, off the cuff buy-ins over the years and definitely came out at the better.
I have some decent money in two different companies (not gaming related) that I keep actual track on, but the rest mostly just moving money from one place to another, and it's been working out for me.
Kind of curious, how do you go about buying shares, is there a recommended website to use or?
I would also, but find it highly unrealistic. Seeing everything go full circle and the IP back in their hands, they really aren't in the position to do so.
They're barely scraping by right now as a developer. The Hunt, as good as it is, did far worse monetarily than they had hoped. They're basically a paycheck to paycheck company anymore, and they got lucky that the remasters of Crysis did as well as they did. Not to mention leasing Cry Engine is a decent side income from them. They're just hopeful they can bring another Farcry title to market right now.
Even on the cheap, they just wouldn't have the capital to afford buying Farcry, as big as it is at this point.
Forgot about this and Skull and Bones . They are vapor-ware to me until they aren’t just like Everwild , Perfect Dark and Fable .
Beyond Good & Evul is a masterpiece.F you Ubi,Revive BG&E 2 or go to hell
/angry nerd
It would probably sell through the roof and actually provide a decent female role model...alas no such occurrence will happen.
I've actually NEVER played this, but now I'm curious with all the revving up of Jade as one of the greatest female lead characters. Maybe I'll Goozex this...
This is another game I missed because of the time of its release.
@K-Tuck
@tigresa
You can find it for cheap and by cheap I mean CHEAP!
Give it a try,you won't regret it,it's fantastic!
Since there is still some extra space here I use it for another F you Ubisoft.
F you Ubisoft!
