Aimless Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 So now this is being advertised as part of Microsoft's XBLA House Party will it be a timed exclusive?! Almost certainly, I'd say. Probably not for too long, though, likely a month. Incidentally it seems the game will have a tiny bit of extra graphical polish, although probably nothing too obvious based on the following comparison: PC HD If you can't spot the differences, the HD backdrop is more detailed with extra graphical flourishes and Jade herself has some better defined texturing. Obviously not big deals in and of themselves, but at least it shows some level of care is going into the port.
Guy Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 This is definitely getting some love when it hits.
Strange Cookie Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 BG&E getting a second chance? Has justice and common sense finally reached planet earth? It was a real tragedy of a good, well-recieved game getting nex to no love from gamers. I really hope it's second leash of live proves more succesful... and let Ubisoft make a stance when it comes to BG&E2. C'mon, why tease and not release?
Tales Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I just discovered this by pure accident, but the game is out now. Only 360 though. I was so excited when I found out, only to come crashing down to Earth when I realized my card is blocked and I haven't recieved my new one

Tales Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 You can just go buy points in a store, but I have to wait 2-3 weeks to get an internet connection Why didn't I think of that...Thanks!! *runs off*
Jimbob Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 It's always the case, no points and no money = No new gaming
Aimless Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Seems the PS3 version is coming "later this year", which is suitably vague. I think you'll see it make an appearance in early April. In the meantime Ubisoft can have my 800 points.
dazzybee Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Considering PoP HD 1-3 remakes were in 3D I'm secretly hoping this will be in 3D too. Makes sense?! Jade in 3D would be smexy and the hovercraft sections seem suited to 3D visuals. (I've been playing Waverace in 3D (upscaled on Samsung) and it is sublime). Hang on... What's this. Waverace? The Gamecube version? In 3D? Upscaled? Explain...
Nintenchris Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Downloaded it and played a good few hours, its just as good as i remember. The music and atmosphere just make this game a joy to play
flameboy Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I really hope us PS3 owners don't have to wait long
MATtheHAT Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Never played this the first time round. Quite looking forward to it. Downloading now.
tapedeck Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Hang on... What's this. Waverace? The Gamecube version? In 3D? Upscaled? Explain... Samsung TV's can upscale 2D content into 3D. Waverace just happens to work brilliantly. I can't go back to 2D. Really miffed that Ubi have made this a timed exclusive. Isn't exclusivity one part of the reason the original failed to sell?

I can't see how it would know what to pop out/give depth to and what not to?!
James Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Oooo this game is gurrrd can't believe I missed out on it the first time round. Excellent stuff.
Cube Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Oooo this game is gurrrd can't believe I missed out on it the first time round. Excellent stuff. Completely agreed. This is a great game. I'm glad I can finally play it.
flameboy Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Ubisoft offering the soundtrack for free! http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/08/ubisoft-offering-beyond-good-and-evil-soundtrack-for-free/ On the off chance that you're too busy cataloging Hillyan wildlife or having deep, intellectual conversations with your bipedal porcine uncle to notice, Beyond Good and Evil (and its recently released HD renovation) has an incredible soundtrack. Also, in case you were too busy using the internet to look at LOLCats or read Sonic the Hedgehog fan fiction to notice, said soundtrack is totally free to download right this very second. We like to think it's worth your bandwidth -- especially if you've got any hovercraft racing, factory-spying or pearl dredging on your schedule in the immediate future. where to get it? Here: http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/gamesites/BGE/ost/Beyond_Good_and_Evil-OST.zip
Cube Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Just entered the slaughterhouse. This game is brilliant - I don't know how I managed to miss it the first time round.
Retro_Link Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Downloaded the Trial version of this today on the PS3 and played the 20-30minute intro I guess (just before getting in the hovercraft). I'm really not sure about it/that I like it. The movement is strangely floaty, like Jade's gliding around as opposed to feeling properly grounded. Also I'm not really liking the HD visuals now that they're blown up on an HD TV as opposed to the Youtube videos. And honestly I'm not sure if the art style is really appealing to me. I think I would have enjoyed this game alot more back when it was released on the Gamecube, and on a smaller SD TV. Think the money might be better spent on my other PSN interests, The Unfinished Swan, SotC and Journey. Edited October 23, 2012 by Retro_Link
Tales Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Not that any of those games are bad, but I liked BG&D better.
Retro_Link Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Maybe I need to give the trial another go, now I know more what to expect.
Tales Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Does the trial end when you are about to leave the island?
