What the druck!!
Stay the fuck away from this version, lmao
It had the most impressive water that I've seen at the time. And now 20 years later they did this.
This is why you cant simply port a game to a new engine, turn on new graphical effects and call it a day. Some effects are made with workarounds that get lost in translation when you move to a newer engine. Same thing happened to the Arkham Trilogy when it was remastered. You have to put some minimum effort, and they clearly didnt.
I repeat: stay away from this release
They gave it the GTA Trilogy treatment.
I guess I will play it in 720p on xbox...

The HD version (BC compatible) is already 60 FPS as well.
Seems like it'll be the best one to stick to.

Early 2024 for "more news" and they had an early development version on the Ubi+ servers already?
They saw the reactions and delayed the freaking thing

My personal recollection: circa 2002, I loaned a co-worker my copy of Halo. He loaned me his copy of BG&E. I tried to play it, but the camera controls were bullshit, so I gave it back to him. Years later, it was re-released on PSN, maybe slightly remastered, and I checked it out... the controls hadn't changed, so nope.
If that bullet point about the improved controls means they finally made the camera compatible with people like me, maybe I can finally get into it and see if it's as good as they say.

They better fix those water effects because holy shit that looks beyond terrible, especially considering the original is 20 years older.

It's an excuse,they wouldn't have called it 20 anniversary if it wasn't releasing this year, They'd just call it a remastered version.They were meant to shadow drop this shit 100% but saw the reactions and delayed it to next year.
We're only getting "news" early next year yet they already had a fully playable version on u+? Yeah right...
EDIT: How tf do you even upload a game by "mistake". It's not like it's a damn youtube video,these people think we are mentally challenged to give us such excuses....

Bumping this thread.
The back compat X360 version of Beyond Good and Evil HD (720p/60 FPS) is on sale for a measly $2.99. Worth getting even if the remaster is coming in a few months, it's less than a donut.

Yup, that seems to be a safe guess. Can't wait!

it was a different game in an era that was starting to get very samey
I agree it was "just" a good game, nothing spectacular, but it had potential and many would have liked to see a sequel flashing out the world and gameplay, but the relese date killed the game's chance

Played this game on GameCube back than. One of my all time favorites. I'll be double dipping

I bought this game and couldn’t make it 10 minutes through - is it worth pushing further? I see how people genuinely love it and I want to too

Not sure I'll bother with this since I got the HD version on PS3. If it's closer to a remake with redone assets (and not looking like shit) I might grab it, but if it's just bumping resolution I'll probably skip it. It would be neat if Ubi did it like the newly released Tomb Raider remasters, with a physical release attached to it. That would be an instabuy.

Stick with it. I felt the same, but it ended up being one of the best games I ever played. My first playthrough was in the last couple of years.

Im in as long as they allow you to invert the fucking controls properly. They didnt get it right in the OG and they STILL didnt get it right for the HD version.
Fuckers.
Fantastic game regardless though, even if the final boss is Remedy tier final boss un fun bullshit.

Hopefully they've done some work on this since that half-baked build leaked last year.
