- illegal_op, on 05/28/2008, -1/+74I loved the first one on the GC, it was one of the best third party games for the system. I will buy this on day one. If anyone is a true fan they will do the same so Ubi will be more likely to make more. On a side note If you have never played the first do NOT buy it used. Buy it through Steam or IGN so the actual developers get something from it.
- antich, on 05/28/2008, -0/+47This is one of two games I've been waiting on sequels for. The other one is Psychonauts.
- dustblower, on 05/28/2008, -4/+47Oh my god I can't freakin wait. This was by far my favorite game when I played it for the original xbox.
- chookalana, on 05/28/2008, -0/+40Just make sure you buy it this time.
- jonny342, on 05/28/2008, -0/+24This has made me the happiest I've been in a while.
We got a next gen pey'j!
I'm also listening to the soundtrack right now, and as soon as my friend gives me back my copy of the first BG&E, I'll play that through in a day or two. - zeritooverride, on 05/28/2008, -0/+23Ubisoft better watch that release date, dont want the same thing to happen again. I never knew about the first one until a friend of mine told me to buy it as a joke. Later the joke was on him since the game was one of the greatest games I have ever played!

- skibum357, on 05/28/2008, -0/+16the first game was great, The soundtrack was aswome too. If i remember correctally. It was released fro free on the publisher's site.
- bagboyrebel, on 05/28/2008, -0/+13If you can't see the genius that is psychonauts then I don't think I can trust any off your other opinions.
- Ignitedude, on 05/28/2008, -1/+13When I saw this earlier on neogaf I seriously had to do a second take.
Brilliant news, and the trailer looks absolutely fabulous. More Jade is just what we needed XD - samfishercell, on 05/28/2008, -0/+12Disagreed on both counts. Please enlighten as to what constitutes a "great game."
- inactive, on 05/28/2008, -3/+15MOAR!
- smoothlou, on 05/28/2008, -0/+12I remember picking this up around Christmas time, and not knowing for sure if it was the game I had heard so much about online, mostly because the title was not something that really stuck out, and because the girl on the front had a camera, as opposed to humongous boobs and a machine gun. I'm glad that I picked it up, it was easily the most fun I had from a third-party on my GameCube.
- burstaneurysm, on 05/28/2008, -0/+12The original was terribly underrated. I'm looking forward to this.
- Kumah, on 05/28/2008, -3/+13I just had an orgasm.
- AvidPreatorian, on 05/28/2008, -0/+9one of the most unknown games that is great and worth at least one play through. sequel better live up to it.
- louiedog, on 05/28/2008, -0/+8I wouldn't be surprised if they added support and sold it as an xbox original before the sequel comes out.
- sgxyay, on 05/28/2008, -0/+8Actually it was rated highly, just no one bought it.
- SeaBass22, on 05/28/2008, -0/+8I just bought a used PS2 copy for like $8 online. It's one of those "never got around to it but wish I had" games.
- moo083, on 05/28/2008, -0/+8I bought mine used, but only because they stopped production of the Gamecube version a long time ago. No gamestops had it either. I had to find a copy on eBay.
The point being, the game did so badly, it was tough just finding the damn game. I think the excitement that ramped up over the last couple years should help though.
Do buy it new if you can though so that sales numbers go up! - Kazaki, on 05/28/2008, -0/+8Next up: Shenmue 3 announced!
- sgxyay, on 05/28/2008, -0/+8I loved the soundtrack myself. I and a couple friends remixed two tracks from the soundtrack into one song if you want to check it out: http://www.sgxmusic.com/music/SGX%20-%20Beyond%20G ...
- aplardi, on 05/28/2008, -0/+7It's amazingly good on any system. You may end up referencing a console version as opposed to PC, but to each his own. The graphics are crisp, bright, and beautiful on any system and the game play is seamless. Not to mention the amazing storytelling.
- MagikOvenMit, on 05/28/2008, -0/+7This was unexpected... But oh my god, yes!
Also, if you sign up for your first month of Gametap (99 cents), then you can download BG&E for the PC. It's worth it. Then you can also play Sam & Max seasons 1 and 2... And Deus Ex... And Civ IV... - frozensnake, on 05/28/2008, -0/+7yes .. yeesss. YYEEEAAASSS!!!!!
thanks for the cooperation - Terr01, on 05/29/2008, -0/+7Speaking as someone who has played both only long after their releases... No, they are both games which deserved more popularity than they got.
IMO, Psychonauts to a greater extent.
'Course, what I'm really waiting for with bated breath is Deus Ex 3. - bigmuffpi, on 05/28/2008, -3/+9Amen
- andyd273, on 05/28/2008, -1/+7Apparently you didn't watch the trailer... or read the article.
they haven't announced any systems yet, but with those graphics, I'm pretty sure its not a wii... - momegao, on 05/28/2008, -2/+8I never played the first one, but I'd really want to!!!! **Looking on the bargain bin**
- smmakira, on 05/28/2008, -0/+5Dugg down for asking to be dugg down. I'm so tired of people saying that.
BTW Never played Beyond Good and Evil but plan to now. - samfishercell, on 05/28/2008, -2/+7That is a great point. Here are links to both of them. I was lucky enough to have picked up on it early on and snagged it on launch day, but it is rather hard to find now. Plus, as illegal_op said, the developers will actually see the sales/demand from Direct to Drive or Steam... plus it's less than $10 on both (which is the steal of the century).
Steam:

Direct to Drive : (Save 5 cents!)

- vanden9, on 05/29/2008, -0/+5Can you upload it, I love to have a copy...
Edit for anyone who wants it I found a good copy.
http://www.stormeffect.com/beyond/index.htm - GlitchEnzo, on 05/28/2008, -0/+5Sorry, but not gonna happen. Those graphics were too good for the Wii. Besides, they have already said it's for the 360 and PS3:

I was wondering if this would ever show up. - Purkake, on 05/28/2008, -0/+5Guess you are, it was Awesome with a capital A, yeah take that!
- Purkake, on 05/28/2008, -2/+6If the French screw this up, they will have more to worry about than watery wine and moldy cheese.
- dinoboy, on 05/28/2008, -2/+6Steam is your friend.
- Hero0fTime, on 05/28/2008, -2/+6AHHHHHH OH MY GOD! *hyperventilates* I was so afraid they were never going to make a sequel!
MY DAY HAS BEEN REDEEMED! - gryphon50, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4you don't like Beyond Good and Evil AND you don't like Psychonauts? You must be a troll, you can't be serious.
- Purkake, on 05/28/2008, -2/+6Available here http://www.stormeffect.com/beyond/
And also on the torrent site near you! - Gizza, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4Stupid Ubisoft and not publishing games on steam outside of NA. It's almost like they want us to pirate or something.
- JorgeGT, on 05/28/2008, -0/+4Propaganda! uhhh propaganda!
- GlitchEnzo, on 05/28/2008, -0/+4Michel Ancel announced he was working on it, but Ubisoft had not yet announced that they were actually going to publish it.
- Intamin, on 05/28/2008, -0/+4I remember not having SM2.0 or something and this game STILL ran beautifully with full water reflections and all...it was amazing what they did with what they had.
I'm replaying this for sure when a "confirmed" release date is revealed. - Andytom, on 05/28/2008, -0/+4It's free on gametap
- inactive, on 05/28/2008, -0/+4Ok thanks. I guess I was putoff by the taking pictures of bugs and stuff, but I might have to re-visit this and give it a better chance.
