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.

Feeling a bit guilty here.
Don't let this series bomb again, PS3/360 owners.
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.
My thoughts exactly.
Enter: NEXTGEN PEYJ
as much noise and of a cult following this game has, they'd do nothing less than take it.

........I.....I....I think I'm going to cry........for *squeak*joy*squeak*
DO WANT =D
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!
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.
Green lipstick = 150% want bang.
Also sounds cool i'de love to see some screens .
(if you know this is real)
