Button Mash This

So while Rannie has been busy throwing red shells at carts and balancing on white plastic boards, I’ve kind of gone on a bit of a gaming hiatus since (a) the weather has gotten warmer, (b) the daylight longer, and (c) my wallet much lighter from supporting other vices. But THIS news, I just could not resist from sharing!

Now Beyond Good & Evil was one of the greatest games from the previous console generation. It was beautiful — intriguing storyline, lush environments, charming characters (everyone loves a hot female protagonist!) AND perhaps most importantly, wicked gameplay. It was everything you could ever ask for in a quality title. Unfortunately, the game was released alongside a whole gang of blockbuster hits, thus sales were not up to par, and eventually BG&E was sadly forced to retreat down to bargain bin nation and was commonly dubbed “the absolute best game you’ve never ever played”.

But now hardcore fans are rejoicing! It looks like Ubisoft might be ready to finally answer our prayers and all the “usual suspects” are confirming it too. Though production seems slow and the end product far off, Beyond Good & Evil 2 is indeed on its way.

Check out the trailer below. To be honest, it doesn’t really provide a whole lot of information at all, but DAMN it looks amazing. I’m psyched.
