Giving the game it's big second chance now, will play the trial to see if it hooks me in this time.
Amazing how many avatar items are released too, lol.

Started playing it. The controls are a bit clunky and "sticky" but not too bad. The camera (not the one Jade uses) could be better as it goes a bit crazy indoors.
How hard is this game? I hope there aren't any teeth-grindingly difficult sections.

Argh. I friggin' still hate those creepy weirdo kids who hang out at Jade's house.

I'm hoping to hear enough positive responses on the quality of the port before the work day is over.
It seems like a decent port, but not an exceptional one. It's probably the best way to play the game, though.
It's pretty much a constant 60 fps, which is great, and the image quality is very good. However, they killed off a few nice effects. The depth of field, which was beautiful in the original, is absent and the motion blur used while looking around with the camera is also missing.
Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it would have been nice to see everything in tact.

Because it's not nearly as great as some people claim it to be. It's a solid game, but I really don't understand the "one of the best games ever" comments. The soundtrack is awesome though.cleveridea said:
EDIT: It's nice to see that Ubisoft actually put some effort into this HD port. I wasn't optimistic after the PoP Trilogy on PS3.

I think it's one of the top 5 action adventure games of the last years. Together with Psychonauts, Prince of Persia, Eternal Darkness and another game I forgot right now. Oh, one of the Zelda games, I guess...

Thanks, that definitely sounds solid enough for a Hamilton.dark10x said:
It's probably over-hyped by definition but I think it's deserved. The game is really about the sum of its parts rather than any singular aspect. Everything about the game melds together so perfectly in a way I haven't really seen often. So while the core gameplay could probably be easily labeled as "second rate" Zelda, it holds up enough to everything surrounding it that it becomes more than just picking that singular aspect apart. The same could probably be said about most of the game's elements except for its soundtrack, which does stand out as something special on its own.AndyMoogle said:

I dunno. PoP Trilogy was missing effects as well like bloom lighting. This one seems like it could be poor as well (we already know that it's missing some special effects. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it has significant framerate drops later on in the game as well)

how do you save your game again? It's been so long that I've forgotten how to save!
Edit: Figured it out. Have to use MDisk stations.

I somehow missed the post above my last one. It's a shame to hear that they half-assed this as well. At least there haven't been any freezing problems yet, right?Nuclear Muffin said:

ahaha, on a mission to hate.
i've played this game a million times and I didn't even notice the missing DOF or motion blur. I realize some serious business analysts will miss these little touches, but really, most people don't care.
that said, if it does have freezing problems, i'll be sure to register my disgust on the internet.

Yeah, it's about eight to twelve hours, depending on your playing style.robot said:

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Rented on Xbox, will buy this one.
I think some people are claiming it's the "Best game evar!" because it bombed when it was originally released. Lots of people do this all the time. It gained a cult following and is now looked back with fond memories.
I like the game a lot and will download the full game today once I get home and I will enjoy it. I don't think it's the best game ever but damn if it isn't a great piece of work from Michel Ancel.
The $10 price point really helps as well. A lot of people were expecting this to be $15, and I believe we are all thankful that it isn't. At $10, it's a great buy.

If they remove effects that the version on last gen consoles had, I'd say that it's half assed. They could have easily made this run at 60 fps with those effects if they only bothered to make a proper port. Though for $10 we can't get it all I guess.S1kkZ said:
Frame drops seem possible. During the intro sequences, there were a couple of points where it dropped a bit. When the camera swooped down on the camera crew after Jade emerges from the hole, you could see it lose 60 fps for a bit. Same deal with a couple other brief shots.Nuclear Muffin said:

Why hasn't Ubisoft put an official soundtrack up on iTunes (or something) to coincide with this?
Yet we have useless avatar gear. Truly baffling.
I'd love to see a real soundtrack released, as good as the fan edit was..

I think one of BG&E's greatest charms was that it felt 'last-gen' last generation too. It really is a lost, super-hi-res ST/Amiga title from back when the French were at the absolute top of of their game, and every ERE Informatique, Infogrames, Delphine, Ubi etc. title was fearlessly bizarre, inventive and sexy.
