Gamespot: Beyond Good and Evil HD Hands-On

Ubisoft had a nice little surprise for fans of Beyond Good and Evil when it unveiled an HD upgraded version of it at a recent press event. The game, developed by Michel Ancel’s Montpellier studio, was originally released in 2003 for the GameCube, PC, PlayStation 2, and Xbox and garnered attention for its unique gameplay and colorful characters. Ancel’s studio is working in conjunction with Ubisoft Shanghai, who is handling the upgrade, to polish up the beloved title and toss in some modest extras.

Even if it's just upscaled graphics, and might lack new HD textures, I really can't wait to play it!

Redempteur4955d ago

this a good news (but i have already finished this game twice ) and i'm waiting for the sequel ..fro that reason i'm not THAT excited by this remake. i just hope this remake will be based on the uncensored version

A Cupcake for Gabe4955d ago

I missed out on this one. So I am definitely picking you up. Hopefully PS3 is getting BG&E2 now?

Redempteur4955d ago

it would depends on how well these do ...

i just hope ancel studio can stay in control of the project until the end

MidnytRain4955d ago

Not bad, probably worth checking out.

XANDEO4955d ago (Edited 4955d ago )

How much is this going to cost because the original xbox games on 360 cost 1200, so im guessing maybe 1600, im suprised that this is on 360 with the 2gb limit and all.

Yi-Long4955d ago

... but 1200 MSP is the absolute maximum I'll be willing to spend on it. If it's higher, I'll just get the Xbox original for 5 bucks 2nd hand.

MagicAccent4955d ago

But not unwelcome.

I still have the game for PC, but it won't run on dual core. So a HD version is a sure buy for me.

JsonHenry4955d ago

Why won't it run on a dual core machine? I have a quad core AMD setup and it runs just fine on my PC..

MagicAccent4952d ago (Edited 4952d ago )

Yes, it runs. But there's something with the dual core setup that acceletates the gameplay so that everything goes at 5X speed or something, and pretty much makes it unplayable.

I have the same problem with thief 3.

Chris_TC4955d ago

Runs fine on a 6-core Windows 7 64 bit. In HD, too.

imvix4955d ago

Runs great on my dual core laptop and my quad core I7.

goosepoose4955d ago (Edited 4955d ago )

it runs nicely on my trio vore quad tike laptop s7 laptop

Where's number 2?! They show a cinematic teaser and then it just falls off the edges like it never happened. I liked this game and I want to know that the sequel still exists..

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for August 2016 any good?

Neil writes "We're here yet again with the latest free Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles ready to be thrust upon us. But in a period that sees few new games released, the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for August could well be the big hitting feature that Xbox One and Xbox 360 players looking for a new game rely on. That combination therefore leaves the door wide open for the scheme to deliver a cracking set of free titles."

I already have WWE but for my taste it's a great month. Not for everyone though.

lxeasy2826d ago

I like this months options, I don't any of these games.

TheUndertaker852826d ago

Positive side for you is once you get the digital version you can lose the disc plus no download wait

ULTp0ltergeist2826d ago

Last time I played a wrestling game was on Super Nintendo no lie, but with this being gold it looks really fun to try out.

cfc832826d ago

Looks like a very useful month to me. Often i don't bother, but i will this month.

2826d ago
LexHazard792826d ago (Edited 2826d ago )

Good for me as I've never played any of the games being offered this month.

Edit: that was a lie, I played BG&E on OGXbox.

christocolus2826d ago

Lol, I played BG&E on the original Xbox too. Such an amazing game.

Deathdeliverer2826d ago

I'm going to get some mileage out of everything but Spelunky. I've played that in so many variations. I realized when I started Spelunky World online for PS4 that I simply cannot plant another bomb without blacking out. I have not played a wrestling game since the last wwe game on PS2. I'm excited to see how far things have come. Solid month for me.

OldGuyStillGaming2833d ago

I'll take 3 of 4

I have Spelunky on ps4 already

vegasgamerdawg2832d ago

I don't understand people who don't purchase the free games anyway. You don't have to DL to your HD and you'll always have the games in your library. I never know who is going to come over and what games they'll like. I even DL the kids games for when company comes over. To each their own. ON top of that it''s BC on xbox, if you buy a Scorpio it'll be there, no reason not to purchase the game. You don't make sense.

OldGuyStillGaming2832d ago

What don't you understand?

I said I'll download 3 and no reason to download Spelunky because I already have it?

What's the point of downloading when I can fire up my ps4 to play it?

Why does it bother you that much?

TheSaint2831d ago

Because they already own it, what's difficult to understand about that?

andibandit2831d ago

Well it makes sense, if one day your xbox or PS4 breaks down you can still play the game. Another bonus is that if you decide to stop paying for psn+ and XBL, you can still play it on xb1

christocolus2833d ago (Edited 2832d ago )

Nice Selection for the month of August imo.I played BG&E back on the original Xbox and I'm not a big fan of the WWE games but I'm gonna download both anyways also I'm really eager to try out Warriors O and Spelunky.

AngelicIceDiamond2832d ago

I've heard allot from Beyond Good and Evil I'll have to try it. Warriors Orochi 3 and WWE 216 are definite downloads very hot month for me.

christocolus2832d ago

BG&E is a blast. I finished it back then and I'm looking forward to another playthrough thanks to BC & GWG. I'm eager to try out Warriors Orochi 3. I havent played a wresting game in years but I'll give WWE 2K16 a spin.

AngelicIceDiamond2832d ago

I also wanna point out 3 million downloads for The Crew. http://www.gamespot.com/art... 8 million now. Hopefully, Beyond Good And Evil gets maybe half that downloads. Im thinking the sequel could possibly get announced next year at E3 using the HD remake to garner attention and hype, but then again thats a looooong stretch. I've never played BG&E and I'm more than willing to give it a try and hopefully turn me into a hardcore fan.

Deadpooled2832d ago

WWE 2k16 is great, much better than 2k15. The Stone Cold Showcase is worth it.

PFFT2832d ago

This is their best free line up yet!

poppinslops2832d ago

Awww YEYAH!!

Just bought a month's-worth of Gold last night - mostly so I could get The Banner Saga 2, but I'm gonna be getting some serious value out of August's line-up... always meant to play Beyond Good and Evil, but kept forgetting it existed and I'll definitely check out the other games - I hear Spelunky's great and it's been well over a decade since I last dished-out a virtual smackdown!

Anyone know if Mick Foley, Mankind or Cactus Jack are still alive?

mrmonkeyhumper2832d ago

Of course....hes the GM of monday night Raw

Deadpooled2832d ago

A great Monday Night Raw judging by Monday's show after Battleground. #BalorClub!

Lukejrl2832d ago

I got to meet him! He did a show in my hometown for the fort mcmurray fires.he was awesome!

Kribwalker2832d ago

He's the new GM of Raw. I follow him on Facebook ;)

Deadpooled2832d ago

If those 8 people are disagreeing based on your question they deserve to choke on a Mandible Claw with Socko down their gullets.
