Beyond Good and Evil 2 still in development

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On August - 20 - 2010

One of the many horses still being flogged in the video game industry is Beyond Good and Evil 2. And today, we’re going to be flogging it some more. According to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, the title is (thankfully) still in development. He also says development on the title never stopped. This was confirmed by the man himself via Kotaku. And I’ve officially lost count over how many times Ubisoft has re-confirmed BG&E2.

“We were, as we are, working on the game,” Guillemot told me during a meeting at Germany’s Gamescom this week. “What is very import with this next product is that it will be perfect.”

It’s summer, meaning it’s time for sales! Steam sales, that is. Valve has announced a massive “Perils of Summer” sale, which starts today, lasting all the way through July 4th.

Whole collections of games are getting their prices slashed down, which means you can get hundereds of games for a mere fraction of their full price. There will also be one-day-only sales, with certain games being 90% off. That is a hell of a deal.

I am Alive E3 trailer

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On June - 23 - 2010

Ubisoft’s E3 press conference this year was fairly uneventful apart from the announcement of a new Rayman game, and some further details on Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. One of the titles I’ve been anticipating for a long time, I am Alive, was a complete no-show.

Rayman Origins official trailer

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On June - 15 - 2010

Ubisoft, I salute you! I’ve been waiting for a long time for a new Rayman game, ever since he took a backseat in his own spin-off franchise. And now, finally, the wait is over. Last night at their E3 press conference, Ubisoft announced Rayman Origins, a return to 2D form for the limbless one, which will be a prequel to the first Rayman.

I’m loving the artstyle, which looks like an Anders Morgenthaler comic come to life, not to mention the typica Michel Ancel humour. Notice, for instance, the expressions on the fairy’s face as Rayman blows air up her dress. You can find the full trailer after the cut. No word on which consoles it will ship for.

Posted by Joe Pomerening On June - 15 - 2010

First off, let me say WOW. E3 2010 is off to a great start and the TGV staff has been hard at work in the summer heat of LA keeping you up to date with new details the minute they’re spoken into a microphone. Our crew has been manning the liveblogs as well as providing frequent updates to the site with the latest updates, and we’ve all had a blast doing so.

We’ve heard some amazing news from a bunch of awesome developers, and got an extensive look at Microsoft’s newest motion-controlled project, Kinect, formerly known as Natal. We also got some impressive updates from Electronic Arts and Ubisoft, who’ve both announced some amazing games that I can’t wait to get my hands on.

Let’s take a few moments to look back at the first day of the 16th annual Electronic Entertainment Expo. Read the rest of this entry »

Near the end of the Ubisoft press conference, the Ubisoft CEO, Yves Guillemot took the stage, showing of three new titles, and a hint of another one.

Shaun White Skateboarding shapes the world

Posted by Herman S. Lilleng On June - 15 - 2010

Shaun White is mostly known as that guy from the snowboarding games that looks like Carrot Top. But there are more sides to him. He’s a skater too! And in Shaun White Skateboarding, that’s exactly what you will do!

The game takes the path of neither Tony Hawk nor Skate, but has decided to make a fantasy world where everything is gray, and is ruled by some sort of anti-skateboarding corporation (the worst kind). You will turn it back to color and life by skating around it, kind of like de Blob or The Saboteur. You will also be able to skate on certain platforms and rails where you can extend into the air, creating new environment as you skate.

Next game from Rez creator revealed, Child of Eden

Posted by Herman S. Lilleng On June - 15 - 2010

The Ubisoft press conference kicked off with a bang (and bleeps, bloops, clicks, samples, synths and much more) this year. We saw just a screen, filled with colorful shapes and lines, with a white circle moving around. We then saw a person standing in front of the the screen, waving his arm around, controlling the circle, pinching together to shoot, altering music as he shoots.

This is the newest game from Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the creator of Rez, and it’s called Child of Eden. It will use the Kinect, and will probably be out on XBLA.

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood dated for November 16th

Posted by Herman S. Lilleng On June - 15 - 2010

The Ubisoft press conference just started, and after showing of Children of Eden, They showed off a fancy CG trailer for Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, dating the game for November 16th, 2010.

After that they showed us some of the gameplay, new features include improved horseback riding, turret-sequences with cannons and stealing then keeping enemies’ weapons, to later be able to throw them, in addition to the previously announced multiplayer part.

E3 2010: Kinect Launch games detailed at E3

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On June - 14 - 2010

During their E3 press conference Microsoft showed off several launch games coming to the Xbox Kinect, being launched this holiday.

First off was Kinectimals, a pet simulator not unlike the Sony EyePet. A little girl played around onstage with her pet tiger Skittles. You can adopt 40 animals, play with them in over 30 unique activities. A ton to discover, according to Microsoft’s Kudo Tsunoda, but it doesn’t appear to be anything else than an EyePet derivate.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 still in development

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On June - 1 - 2010

A few days ago it was announced that the fate of Beyond Good and Evil 2 might be hanging by a threat, after the departure of Michel Ancel from Ubisoft.

Yet Eurogamer can inform us that Ubisoft has confirmed that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still in development.

“There are no changes on the horizon,” a Ubisoft representative told EG. When asked if BGaE2 was still in development, with Ancel still on board, a simple “Yes” was the answer.

Well played Ubisoft. Now if only you could get back to that Prince of Persia series you started in 2008, as well as release a proper Rayman game my faith in you will be completely restored.

Rumour: Michel Ancel leaves Ubisoft Montpellier

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On May - 28 - 2010

Warning, warning! Danger Will Robinson, Danger!

Nothing is official yet, but according to a source at French videogame site Woot Gaming, the creator of Beyond Good and Evil, Michel Ancel, has gone up and left Ubisoft Montpellier. Ancel is joined by “another well-known developer”, who’s name was undisclosed, to form a new studio.

The source at Woot Gaming cited internal problems during the development of Beyond Good and Evil 2, a game many still believe is caught in development hell. This could unfortunately mean that development on BGaE2 is paused, if not cancelled outright.

Keep in mind that this is still a rumour, so don’t go crying about on Twitter and Facebook just yet. An official statement will most likely follow in the coming weeks. Still. God damn you, Ubisoft! Why did you have to end Beyond Good and Evil on a cliffhanger, without knowing if you were going to pursue a sequel! Now we’ll never know the whole story! Damnit!

PoP: The Forgotten Sands gameplay video shows off nature powers

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On May - 12 - 2010

Excited about the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands? I certainly am, even though I would like for Ubisoft to finish the other Prince of Persia series they’ve started.

With The Forgotten Sands come not only the Prince’s power of time manipulation, but also control over the elements themselves. What are these powers you ask? Ubisoft has been kind enough to release a gameplay video showcasing said powers.

They look to me like a great addition to what already looks like flawless gameplay, so I’m hoping for a great platforming experience. The game hits consoles on May 18 in the US and May 21 in the UK.
