Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition Revealed [Aug 31, 2023, 11:58 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
ESRB Website now features a listing for a Beyond Good and Evil 20th
Anniversary Edition, indicating plans for a re-release (thanks
VGC). A sequel was revealed in
2008 and officially announced
in 2016, but development
has dragged on, and in the ensuing years, series originator Michel Ancel
left the games industry
and creative director Emile Morel recently passed
away, so it's not clear where that stands. So it seems extremely likely the
20th anniversary of the game will launch before its planned follow-up. Here's
word:
This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a reporter accompanied by a pig-like companion investigating a conspiracy on the planet of Hillys. From a third-person perspective, players explore fantasy locations, take photos of evidence, solve puzzles, and fight robot and alien enemies. Combat is sometimes fast-paced, with players using melee weapons (e.g., staffs, torches) to strike stylized enemies that generally break apart or vanish into puffs of smoke. One boss battle depicts a squid-like alien stabbed in the eye, with yellow-green splatter effects.

I wonder what it's going to have different from the HD remaster. I'd love to play this again, but then I know I'm just going to get frustrated on the last boss that reverses all your controls.
One of my most dispised developer hacks, purposely gimping the player, rather than making a challenging enemy.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride! - HT
20th anniversary? Fuck I'm old..
Let's just forget there's a sequel.
So the HD remaster was never brought out for PC right? I wonder if this is going to be it...
Also, looks like the listing was deleted.
