Is it going to be packaged with UPlay malware/bloatware?

There was already an HD remaster released back in 2011... I'm all for crisper graphics, bugfixes and the like, as long as the core gameplay and charm from the beloved original is still there. Still also holding out for BG&E2, but that feels as close to vaporware as it stands.

Also, fuck Ubisoft and their craptastic launcher. Main reason I have strayed from majority of their titles. Maybe it's a little pedantic, but I'm in the "Steam or no DRM" group if I bother with a game.

Seems like everybody forgot about the HD release. It was good, and the only reason I haven't played it a third time is because I don't want to set up the console for it. Hopefully this new version won't be too bogged down with Ubisoft crap 🤞

I just hooked up my PS3 last week, and guess what game was still installed 😁

I still technically am an insider of Behind Good and Evil 2, but I haven't heard a single bloody thing for YEARS. 10 by now, I think.

This is the first time I've heard anything about the franchise and it's not even from an insider email... Or even remotely related to the prequel that was supposedly well into its development.

They haven’t been sending you emails when the creative head retires etc?

I really want 2 to be a game but I don’t realistically see how it gets made.

[-] Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

When I was invited to be part of the insider program there was a special insider forum and I was given two surveys to do. This was all within the first few months of the invites going out.

Ever since then it's been dead silent.

Same.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 was announced in 2008 and now they're doing a "remaster" of the first one? Not having high confidence in what they're delivering tbh.

[-] bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

A second remaster of the first game.

Wasn't this accidently playable for a few hours like several months ago?

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

The last time I played this game I felt like the controls were off. Like the camera moving left and right were going in the wrong direction compared to other games. I couldn't change them in options. Hope they make that change because it was very awkward to play.

That's just how camera controls were best then, they were always horizontally inverted and not many key you change it. If you emulate or play it on pc, you can at least rebind it so its no longer inverted

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I never had an issue with other games at the time... just this one. Played many Mario and Zelda games and the camera was fine on those.

On a side note, what's weird is that I used to always invert my vertical camera for every game, but all of a sudden, my brain changed on some game I was playing and now I no longer need to do that for anything else.
