Never had the chance to own a copy, so more power to ya'll
yeah, I just saw it on /v/ a few minutes ago

[Correction]

I get that Pey'j is supposed to be older but they've made him pretty dang ugly with the updated graphics. I dread to see if there are any Alpha Sector crawling about in this new graphics engine.

[Viq]

My faith in video games has been restored.

[The Blackrose]

Best news I've heard all day.

[Alina]

Agreed. I can't believe this is actually getting released, but it makes me very happy!

[Koyuki]

There is a god.

[Lujei]

I never thought that I would see the day they made this game. I thought this was a joke thread at first.

[Wintermute]

Noice! I loved the first one, one of the best games I've ever played.

All next-gen systems then or what?

[Tythera]

Looks like it's PS3/XB360/PC at least from what I've been seeing, no idea if they'll all release simultaneously or staggered (or if it's even all three for sure).

[Wintermute]

Any news yet on wether or not it's the same team who made the original working on BG&E 2?

Would suck to see such a great game get let down with a mediocre sequel.

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.

God damnit.

According to the JeuxVideo interview, it's for 360 + PS3

Really? I don't remember the game being difficult at all >.>

BG&E was never "hard" because it's wasn't a cock.

The checkpoint system was perfect and even if you fucked up 16 times in a row at the same spot to the same enemy you kept trying because the game would pop you just at the beginning of the room, no need to trudge through the level again.
And you'd always have an "I got it this time" mentality rather than "Fuck This".

I found it was pretty accessible because it was a lot more forgiving without being pushover easy.

Then again I'm no a casual gamer.

The only difficult thing was at the end of the game where the controls reversed themselves at the end boss fight. Took me forever to cope with that...
