Can't wait. Always wanted to play this but the performance of the PS2 version back in the days was just.... well, guess... Beyond good and evil. ^^

Bought this on xbox for £20 years ago, played the first area and some of the hub world stuff, ended up trading it in a month later because I is dum derp.
I was unable to get into the game back then, my love for racing games was too high I guess so a game like this was just not catching my interest, I am willing to try again with this version.

SO PUMPEDDDDD \o/
Watch the trailer pal, it's Jade "Angry Videogame Badass" edition. But I hear that kind of things sells better anyway so it's fine (since the game is still the same). It's almost false advertising though at this point D:
Don't know why they didn't use official art for the boxart though.
Well I hear some people have problems with it but mine runs just fine with Anti-Aliasing and 60 FPS. There's some box-unchecking to be done in the settings app I think.
Still gonna buy it on 360, just to be sure

Yep. You need to run the bg&e settings app and disable HW Vertex Processing on the advanced settings. The game runs beautifully on my new PC. It was one of the first games I installed and played on this new rig.

This is my favorite game I've never finished. I'll rectify that with this release.
PS3 or 360? Does either one run better?

I found the bit I played quite enthralling and immersive. The universe is great.Door2Dawn said:
I suppose it's not for everyone though, don't feel left out.
Cool thread. I tried playing this on Gamecube back in the day, it seemed cool but my disc stopped working just a couple hours into the game, so I'd definitely like to give it another shot. 'Spose I could just get the PC version but I believe it goes for $10 so I might as well just wait for the PS3 version for trophies and less hassle with tweaking the game to get it up to speed with my rig.

I think "more than the sum of its parts" is a good way to describe the game, which is probably why it bombed back then. Terrible lack of communication on Ubi's side, combined with the fact that when you explain what the game is about it just sounds boring or nothing new D:
Which is pretty sad because it achieved back in 2003 some of the stuff that is highly praised today : cinematic presentation (seamless blend between cut-scenes and gameplay, with set-pieces à la Uncharted), multi-gameplay, semi-open world, etc.
And even today, after 8 years of game releases, it still has a unique vibe in some ways. (which is not something that new trailer will help you see though. Yurk.)
All of the above do not mean that everyone who plays it likes it though (some people don't), but at $10 a pop if you like action/adventure games it would be a little crime no to try it out.
No chance. I'd rebuy a PC port in an instant if it included proper gamepad support. Xpadder is a lousy alternative.Drkirby said:

Don't. It's a terrible port. No pad support, lots of menus that are only navigated with a keyboard, permanently letterboxed (even in widescreen resolutions), etc.Snuggler said:

I have it on the GCN, probably gonna wait for it to come to the PSN before I buy it again.
Does the game remind anyone else of Don Bluth?

ramenman is exactly right when he says that it's more than the sum of its parts. it's definitely one of those games where there are loads of solid but not spectacular elements to enjoy but it's all about how it resonates as an overall experience.
- good story and characters. it's not tolstoy or anything, but it's charming and entertaining in a quality cartoon way, sometimes rather poignant and you do get very attached to the different characters.
- game is jam packed with personality. it boasts a really creative, colourful and unique feeling world that's a joy to explore and populated with enjoyable side characters and fun situations. it does a single player co-op thing a lot so you're often having partners comment on the gameplay situations with fun dialogue. there's loads of little details in there to find, the world changes a bit as the plot progresses as an example. just feels like a game that's had a lot of care put into it.
- genre blending gameplay. stealth, exploration, zelda style puzzle dungeons, collectathon (don't worry) phototaking, light combat, racing. none are amazing or that deep but they are fun and all come together really nicely, giving the game lots of variety without making it feel disjointed as an experience.
- pacing. it's not too long, about ten-twelve hours, and full of different ideas. when you want to push forward you can, though you can take it at your own pace too. the world is quite small, but very dense. the side quests come together nicely and all integrate well into the main quest. it's a very tightly designed game in general.
- seriously amazing soundtrack.

Honestly this is a rare occasion where I would not recommend the PC version. It's plagued by issues with sound and graphics on modern PCs and lacks gamepad support. I have it on PC as well, but 800 points is well worth not having to deal with the hassles of the PC version.
I never played this game (PC version is horrible).
I probably won't play it right away, but since it's only 800 (in a world were things like this go for 1200 points), I'll buy it on release day (specially since hardcorps uprising didn't turn out so well, so I'll wait for a deal on that).
I hope it's a good port.

Is it strange that I'm looking forward to this far far more than any other game coming out this year?
I loved this game so much back when it came out. Can't wait to get it (when/if it hopefully hits PSN).
I really, really hope Ubisoft is re-releasing this game because it wants to create some buzz around the BG&E brand again, prepping for release of the second game. OMG PLZ BE TRUE

I'm liking how all the gems I missed last gen (BG&E, Ico, SotC etc.) are getting HD rereleases. Will get this day one on PS3. Gimme a date please, Ubisoft.
Curious.
Anyways, I picked up the PS2 version a while back and it runs just fine on my PS3, but I never really played it much. Can't wait to buy this!
This had better sell.
Ahem, with that said its been forever since I played the original on my xbox. Bought that PC version but never got around to doing a run through. Can't wait for this one with the achievements and faster framerate.
How bad ass would oit be to get a sneak preview of BGE2? If there was any time to give some new info it would be now.

YES. The stealth sections in this game are TERRRIIIIBLLLEEEEE. Everything else is kinda good. Though I'd rather play the Jak series.

Day 1!!! One of the greatest games ever made! I really hope this game sells on XBL. Zelda fans should really enjoy the gameplay.
