Figured I'd house any discussion for the sequel here.

Some pretty wacky journalism..

i like the pictures of the pig.

How about some video of the pig?

Awesome I excited that this is coming out. Though I have not played the original I have played a demo and it was fun. I glad that a unique and fun game is having a sequel

Inspired by September 11th. Great. Game designers thinking they can make serious political messages. Then again, he did it pretty well in the first one. But still, politics in video games has been pretty much a disaster.

just finished first one. And i want to see more of the world, to understand who or what Jade really is.
Can't wait :)

Haven't played the first one more than 5 minutes since I got it, due to the X-axis flip bug. If number 2 is going to be another shitty console port, I won't be buying it, that's for sure.

Hopefully it will be as good as the first one. A while back, about when the video came out, there was some exec stating that they wanted to make it "more accessable" which was kind of scarry as it sounds horribly much like dumbing things down and loosing the finer points of BG&E.

well trust me and get over the controls... i was estranged in the beginning too but i am REALLY glad i got used to them... it's an awesome game!

It's Beyond Good & Evil. It'll be fine.

Why hello derr.

The problem is, if we keep buying shitty console ports, guess what? The developers will keep making shitty console ports. No, this has to stop.

well i think you are barking at the wrong tree here.... what we want is to have fun. and this game is a ton of fun! to complain and complain is only natural. plus, as i see it, most people bought it on sale either on Steam or here after years of the first release. that is something on it's own... but seriously, make an exception on this one... you will love it ;)

And blame "piracy" while doing it too!! Even though the consoles get their fair share of piracy..
