That`s the best news I`ve heard in ages. Oh, I`ve been longing for this, hope it`s true.

I also experienced a problem with the water scenes in Hillys. I think you can turn off reflections or something similar to make it run smooth.

Well I'll be a....
Turning the water detail to minimum actually worked this time. I could have sworn I tried that before....alone with reducing the resolution etc. Well to compensate for the crappy water/no AA I put the game in 1280x1024. So how am I supposed to play this best? Gamepad or mouse/kb? I can use either but I'm curious which is easier. |

I wanted to play with a gamepad, but mine was not recognized.
Keyboard + mouse control wasn't that bad, though.

Upon closer inspection this game doesn't support gamepads. I could force it, but I guess I'll just live with it.

I should try it soon, and see if I encounter this water problem.

Just playing this for the first time also, the PC version... So far very meh game, can't seem to get past the childishness of it, bugs me quite a bit. I think Psychonauts is a better platformer game...

BG&E's not really a platformer, more of a Zelda type game. I wasn't particularly impressed with it overall either (I'd say it's good, shows Ancel has a lot of potential at this sort of game, but really nothing spectacular), but wouldn't call it childish. If you take issue with the Jamaican rhinos I'll kill you. I really need to replay it one of these days...

Hehe, no , actually the Rhino's are my favorite part of the game. With the raggae music playing and all, especially at night time, it almost reminds me of the first town in Monkey Island 2 a bit.

BG&E2 would be a beautiful dream, but I'd rather keep the cliffhanger ending of the first than to have a sequel that does not live up to the expectations. Mystery is something that gives taste to life after all and an ending like that of BG&E1 sure leaves place for speculation. (This also reminds me of the ending of Anachronox, which I understand was supposed to have a sequel, but I feel that maybe it's better that way)

I went with the Playstation 2 version as it seems like this game would really benefit from a controller. Does anyone know if there is anything that makes the PS2 version worse or anything like that?

I believe the PS2 version only has English voices? At least in our country. Really, the only way to play Beyond Good & Evil is to brush up or learn French and play it in its original language. You'll find it perfectly compliments the exotic atmosphere.

There are many reasons that I have to learn French...but Beyond Good and Evil probably isn't high on that list. If it's subtitled that'd be really cool, though.

I'm just happy that Ancel is back working on a new game, of course it would be awesome if it was a totally new franchise or BG&E2, but this is great too.
Rayman series is one of my favourite series of the recent years, I recently acquired Rayman for Sega Saturn and there you have some excellent 2D sidescrolling platforming.

Not like them!

Rayman 2 is my favorite platformer. I'm ecstatic to hear Ancel's back.
