After spending roughly a decade in secluded development, Beyond Good & Evil 2 made its grand return at the conclusion of Ubisoft's E3 media briefing. An emotional Michel Ancel took the stage to thank the fans for their continued support throughout the years and ran down the game's premise. Beyond Good & Evil 2 is a prequel story, set years before the birth of the previous game's hero, Jade. Set in System 3, described as a "multi-ethnic, multicultural, human society in a distant solar system," corporations create hybrids that they then enslave in order to compete in an arms race for colonization and cosmic resources. The eclectic cast of heroes will take part in a battle for the freedom to determine their own fate in the universe. The trailer shows a chimpanzee character named Knox swindling Zhou Yuzhu, a pig crime boss, out of a promised treasure, then escaping to meet up with a human partner. The two embark on a daring aerial chase from the city's police unit, who appear to be in Zhou's pocket. Ancel promised a "seamless online playground" for players to explore the mysteries of space, either alone or with friends. Visiting the game's website and registering for the Space Monkey program will grant players the chance to help influence Beyond Good & Evil 2's development. Beyond Good & Evil 2 still doesn't have a firm release window but the project appears to be coming along nicely which reassure fans. View full article- 5 replies

Perhaps the quintessential cult classic, Beyond Good & Evil released in 2003 to some critical acclaim and lackluster sales. Directed by Michel Ancel, the creator of Rayman who yearned for more creative freedom at Ubisoft, the multiplatform release tackled very early 2000s themes of propaganda and murky government motivations as seen through the eyes of a young photojournalist who finds herself torn between the government who says it is keeping her safe and the resistance who tells her everything she knows is a lie. Combining themes that resonate to this day with an art style that has aged well and characters that ring true, is Beyond Good & Evil one of the best games period? Each week we will be tackling a video game, old or new, that at least one of us believes deserves to stand as one of the greatest games of all time. We'll dive into its history, development, and gameplay, while trying to argue for or against the game of the week. Sometimes we will be in harmonious agreement, other times we might be fighting a bitter battle to the very end. However each episode shakes out, we hope that everyone who listens will find the show entertaining and informative. Outro music: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars 'Super Mega Ultra Pipe House' by DDRKirby(ISQ) (http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03487) You can download or listen to the podcast over on Soundcloud, our hosting site, and iTunes. A YouTube version is (sometimes) available as well, so you can watch what we are talking about while we talk about it! A Patreon has been created for those looking to support the show.

Ubisoft Giving Away Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Starting Tomorrow
Jack Gardner posted an article in Gaming News
Are you ready to wake the dragon? Ubisoft will be releasing free copies of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon starting tomorrow (and if you get into the service soon enough today you might still be able to pick up a copy of this month's game, Beyond Good & Evil). The studio has been releasing free games through its Ubisoft Club for the past few months. If you haven't heard of Ubisoft Club, it's a free service that rewards people who play Ubisoft's games. This includes games that were purchased used or digitally. The service offers some exclusive rewards and discounts in the Uplay Shop. The service presents challenges, badges, Club XP, and more. To obtain copies of Ubisoft's free game giveaways, which will continue at least through December, gamers need to sign up for the Ubisoft Club. The downside seems to be that it is really hard to unjoin the club short of deleting your Ubisoft account and then reaching out to customer support. -
