Ubisoft NA prez missed memo that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is totally confirmed
Ubisoft North America president Laurent Detoc admits that the publisher is "working on some some Beyond Good and Evil stuff," but tells IndustryGamers that the decision on "whether there's going to be a new game or not" is "something for the future."
Wait a second. Shouldn't that have been "something from the past" ... ?
Series creator Michel Ancel has flat-out talked about the sequel and some of his plans for it. More importantly, Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot himself debuted the game to the world's gaming press at last year's international Ubidays event -- which was also streamed live worldwide via the web, no less. (Oh, and Guillemot also spoke more about it later, as well.)
Mr. Detoc, if you're reading this, here's a handy link you can click before your next interview -- which is almost certain to include more questions about Beyond Good & Evil 2 (a.k.a. that game your company is so making).

next thing you know, Laurent Detoc will be working in the basement of Ubisoft NA, and people will be stealing his staplers.

but the real question is which console is it going to be developed.
Markez @ Jul 23rd 2009 7:57PM
Well the Epic dude just announced and leaked that Microsoft is gonna release the Xbox whatever for their next console, so that's my guess.
ArchiGamer [thephilosophyofgames.wordpress.com] @ Jul 23rd 2009 8:00PM
PS3 would be nice, as is the only console I own that makes sense for this game.
LaughingTarget @ Jul 23rd 2009 8:24PM
My sources say it's going to be the Magnavox Oddysey.
bongoes @ Jul 23rd 2009 8:57PM
Magnavox Oddysey? Yeah, I can see that.
Einhanderkiller @ Jul 23rd 2009 10:42PM
360, PC, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, PS2, iPhone.
Iroquois @ Jul 23rd 2009 7:56PM
Nice

Come out soon, BGE2, for I want you!
(The first one peaked my interest when I was 7)
Old Professor Zertoss @ Jul 23rd 2009 8:57PM
Piqued.

Thanks for correcting me, for that was what I meant. I was just watching SSX3's intro movie at the same time, so I had "peak" on the brain.

On a totally different, yet equally great game, are they ever going to make another Dreamfall?
waynski1457 @ Jul 23rd 2009 8:53PM
No no no, you mean the Longest Journey. Dreamfall, while decent, was a joke in comparison. We need a sequel as good as that one.
Reader @ Jul 23rd 2009 8:57PM
I never played the point and click, but I loved the one on xbox. I wish they'd make a sequel really bad.
343 Guilty Fart @ Jul 24th 2009 1:34AM
Weird, I thought Dreamfall was amazing.
Rein @ Jul 23rd 2009 8:27PM
Quit playing games with my heaaaaaaaaaaaaaart. ;__;
Or Is It Alton Brown? @ Jul 23rd 2009 9:05PM
Do you want to duet? I sing a mean Freddie Mercury.
Rein @ Jul 23rd 2009 9:07PM
Sing away~
Eh @ Jul 23rd 2009 11:59PM
I never understood the point of interviewing execs. They never tell you anything straight, its a total waste of time.
Blaggers @ Jul 24th 2009 7:47AM
Haha, this reminds me of when Shane Kim thought Microsoft's big E3 coup was Resident Evil 5 on the 360, when it had been publicly announced at least a year before.
Mighty Ponygirl @ Jul 24th 2009 9:00AM
This had better not be the next Duke Nukem Forever.
CaveDan @ Jul 24th 2009 1:56PM
Agreed... it has been far too long since my face has been taken possession of by the likes of Pey'j and Jade. Oh yeah, and the retarded knight guy who smashed shit with his head... whose name now eludes me. One of the best overlooked games of last gen.
