It's been quite a while, but someone at PSM3 decided it was time to bring back some good old fashioned Beyond Good & Evil 2 rumors. The original is considered one of the darlings of the hardcore gamer crowd, as well as one of gaming's biggest sales injustices, and fans have been clamoring for a sequel for years.
PSM3's 'The Insider' segment suggests that BG&E 2 is a sequel that "will most likely see the light of day." I would jump at the chance to play a sequel, but we've heard many rumors about it over the years and I think Ubisoft really needs to crap or get off the pot on this one.
Among other rumortoids spilled out by 'The Insider' are:
- A Leisure Suit Larry movie in the works. Why work for your porn?
- EA's The Simpsons Game getting a sequel. More justifying bad game design by pretending it's ironic? I won't pencil it into my schedule.
- Treyarch spending two years on Call of Duty 5 instead of nine months. Yay?
- The next issues of PSM3 revealing "the big daddy of secret AAA shooters." If there's anything to that one, The Internet will get it first, I am pretty sure.
As with all rumors, take all of them with a pinch of salt. Everyone loves a good bit of housewifesome gossip though, so enjoy.

Presumably the "the big daddy of secret AAA shooters." is DOOM 4, which was just announced.
Now excuse me as I explode in a white torrent of come whilst thinking about BG&E2 and the potential of DOOM 4 being more like the first two instead of the disappointing 3.
i was thinking a bioshock ps3 confirmation? "big daddy" and all.
i don't know why people get excited at the idea of sequels to their cult favorites. need i remind you how bad the nights into dreams sequel was?
hmm?
HMMM!?
BG&E2 would be most appreciated, as long as it's handled with care, ie the focus isn't solely on a graphics upgrade.
The point is they can only do what as well as they will do but they will certainly not do what they won't do.
Even kill a dolphin?
Except that. :)
A sequel would be great, though. BG&E was a very special game, like Disney meets LoZ. The soundtrack was breath-taking, as well. All I ask is if they make the other two games (it's intended to be a trilogy), less stealth, better combat, and more puzzles.
Would you give up your wild lifestyle of non-stop fingerbangin'? ;)
hahahahahaha
Oh man. BG&E was one of the first games that really captivated me. Games before it was just a nice way of getting distracted, but that game was just so... more-ish. Played it from start to finish, hated the cliff-hanger, and then waited for a sequel that never turned up :/
PLEASE BE TRUE! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
I'd totally nerdgasm if true.
Double post :(.
