Yesterday we brought word that yes, Beyond Good & Evil 2 is in preproduction and waiting for a green light from Ubisoft. The French magazine in which creator Michael Ancel was interviewed also brings to light the game's intended platform -- the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Remember, this game still hasn't been officially approved by Ubisoft, so we don't know if it will ever definitely reach those platforms yet. Now that the gaming public knows a sequel is being drafted, however, I wouldn't like to be the Ubisoft rep that has to tell them it's not happening if things went that way. One only hopes that the threat of nerdy assassination prompts Ubi into making the right decision. I really hope this comes to pass. Having the world of Hillys brought to life with the power of modern consoles is something I want to happen before I die.

I just peed myself with excitement. That was really a bad way to show my joy.
! I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS.
If it's in pre-production now, we won't see this for years.
Do Want
It is criminal that I am not holding this game in my hands right now.
I should probably play the first one, huh.
Feeling a bit guilty here.
One one hand it's unfortunate that another third-party ignores the market leader; it's a wonderful thing if this is true, because the first game was great and Ancel deserves to have his dream trilogy made.
Don't let this series bomb again, PS3/360 owners.
DO FUCKING WANT, MORE THAN ALMOST ANYTHING
Is the original backwards compatible, I never played it
@ Sphinx. For for PS2 / PS3 and Gamecube / Wii, yes. For Xbox360, unfortunately not. But you can buy it from Steam if you have a PC that was made in the last 6 years. If you're not sure whether it will work, you can download a demo from Filefront.
Incidentally, I had a dream last night about next gen Hillys. It was so sweet, I could hear the music and recognise the landmarks... all my best dreams are video game related.
@Luc
My thoughts exactly.
Enter: NEXTGEN PEYJ
I seriously...SERIOUSLY don't see Ubi turning down the offer on this. They're not stupid.
as much noise and of a cult following this game has, they'd do nothing less than take it.
I'm holding out for a sequel to 187 RIDE OR DIE!
DO WANT!
A hi def remake of the first would do me. Brilliant game not played by silly people.
Praise da Lawhd!

........I.....I....I think I'm going to cry........for *squeak*joy*squeak*
awesome....
DO WANT =D
LucBernard: Did you really hate the english Voiceacting?
Granted, I've never heard the french V.O, but one of BG&E's best features was the voice acting(especially Jade and Peyj!)
It made BG&E the best game with a title inspired by a uppity German philosopher released in 2003!
@LucBernard
That's probably because you speak French. How very French of you to assume that you're the only people with a spoken language on the entire planet.
It'll get made. Ubisoft would prove themselves 18 shades of stupid if they didn't.
Twofer:
Green lipstick = 150% want bang.
I heard the sequal is 78% vehicles.
God, I'm going to have a heart attack with all this BG&E2 teasing. Although if it is going to happen it'll be worth it. ^_^
I know that it isn't confirmed, but I'm still calling this best news of the week! Now I just need the date of release...
They have to approve it, seriously. Saying "no" would totally ruin Ubisoft reputation for me.
Smakifilia: Hah, I was about to make you cry over that comment but realised the invisible tounge-in-cheek smiley, Nuts and Bolts to that. :P
I agree with Morrius about an HD remake of the first one being most wanted. I would be in heaven if they were to release a collectors edition with this packed in with BGE2
If this does happen, we need to somehow get people to buy the game. I will, no question.
Oh god yes. DO WANT etc.
Damn you wii & your lack of games i want !!!!
Also sounds cool i'de love to see some screens .
(if you know this is real)
I really need to play the first one.
Why not the Wii? Games don't have to be hi-def to be good. The combat system in the first game would work well with the Wiimote's pointer.
Wow. can't believe I missed this. My jaw hit the floor when I heard you guys talking about this on podtoid. and I must say: DO WANT!
