Beyond Good & Evil 2 Coming To Xbox 360?

David Wildgoose — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 01:00:47 +0000

There’s a list of games in the Xbox 360 calendar section of the Xbox Australia website. It contains something odd.

Under a section headed “Also coming to Xbox 360″, the site lists the following:

* Aliens: Colonial Marines
* Batman: Arkham Asylum
* Beyond Good and Evil 2
* Bioshock 2
* Borderlands
* Brutal Legend

Wait! What?

Beyond Good & Evil 2?

Ubisoft has been coy on the topic of whether of not the sequel has even been announced, despite a very telling yet untitled teaser and some suspicious-looking leaked footage. So seeing it listed on the official Xbox Australia website is very strange.

We asked Ubisoft about it and they said it was a mistake. Hmm…

Is This New Beyond Good & Evil 2 Footage?

We’ve gotten our hands on some footage that appears to be for Ubisoft’s Beyond Good & Evil 2, the sequel to the underrated 2003 title.

The footage shows a woman dressed very much like Jade was dressed in the 2008 announcement teaser for Beyond Good & Evil 2, running through a rundown looking town, avoiding police, climbing on top of a building and then making her ultimate escape via an orange helicopter. The visuals certainly match what little we’ve seen of the game so far.

The video was sent to us by a tipster, hosted by French Sonic site Eversonic, of all places.

If this turns out to not be from Beyond Good & Evil 2, I’d suggest Ubi steal it and use it, as it looks amazing.

Thanks Alan for directing us to the vid!

Beyond Good & Evil Too Difficult, Sequel More “Accessible”

Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot, speaking with Next-Gen, thinks he knows why the first Beyond Good & Evil didn’t do too well. Thinks he knows how to fix that for the sequel: make it easier.

We saw with Beyond Good & Evil that so many customers were extremely happy with the game. We had a different audience at that time. We had more core gamers than casual gamers than we have today.

We think the game was probably a little too difficult for the general gamers at that time. We’re going to make it more accessible and make sure that it’s really done for the new generation that’s come into videogames.

Casual? Accessible? Oh, Yves, you sure know how to put the fear of God into a man. I’d have thought the first game’s problem was it was a game about a photographer with green lips and a pig, which makes it a hard sell to most people, but what do I know.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 Is For PS3, 360

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 16 May 2008 03:00:00 +0000

We first posted the news of a sequel to Beyond Good & Evil being in pre-production last night. Since then, though, we’ve been able to take a good look at the original source of the news, an interview in French magazine JeuxVideo, and glean a few more bits of info from it. Firstly, the interview wasn’t just with Michel Ancel, it was with Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy artist) and French comic artist Enki Bilal, which is pretty cool! Secondly, Ancel says the game – if it’s ever approved by Ubisoft, that is – will be for the PS3 and 360. Sorry, N-Gage fans. But it’s better you know now than to keep on hoping in vain.
