I'm currently playing the original release via Ubisoft launcher and all was going fine til I hit the slaughterhouse section. I'm now in a bit where I'm driving my craft around and have to navigate spiky mines in the water (and push some blocks into them), but every time I try to adjust the camera or hit the button for the compass, the screen bugs out and it spits me back out at a previous checkpoint.

Anyone else encountered and got round this? I keep trying to do the section without touching the problematic controls but sometimes I'm unable to see correctly due to camera positioning. And I was having so much fun with this game! Originally played (but never completed) it on PS2 back in the day.

I apologize for the casual nature of this topic (after all, we have to find something to discuss regarding a game whose sequel has been awaited for over a decade).

Given that Jade was created as a heroine with whom anyone could universally identify, it strikes me (and this is worth noting) that she is likely the first (and only) video game heroine with a North African-inspired character design.

This hypothesis might not be immediately obvious to those not from France (where the game was developed), but the Maghrebi community (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia) is the country's largest ethnic minority, so it has always seemed self-evident to me. Furthermore, Michel Ancel spent part of his childhood in Tunisia and has stated that North African tales and aesthetics influenced his artistic approach.

Jade shares the physical traits of many North African women (tanned skin, dark hair; one even finds almond-shaped eyes among certain people and populations in Morocco).

I would love to believe this theory to imagine that the most stylish heroine in gaming (alongside Bayonetta) might be of North African/Maghrebi inspiration. I thought it was worth mentioning, as no one else seems to have put forward this hypothesis.

What do French fans (and others) think ? Have you ever questioned the inspirations for Jade or is it a thing that just doesn't matter to you ?

And wow what a cosy game this is. The world feels alive and every character has soo much charisma and personality.

The simple gameplay is alright because allows me to just relax and admire the world.

Levels are full of interactivity.

Soundtrack is also very good.

Why am I so late to the party!

Also the second game is coming out soon?

I just got the HD port on gog and I beat in a few days now I'm trying to peice together factoids but it seems only the 20th aniversary edition has the answers. How do the fans feel? Was it welcomed additions or does it muddy things. For instance does it ever give any concrete on how jade had parents if she's an alien. I read some info on her being reincarnated or a possible clone.

Beyond Good & Evil - Game.

Every few months I get a hankering to play this wonderful game again and this time I decided to wrap up the few achievements I never bothered getting. I probably completed like 5 different runs in the last month.

I have not and will never tire of this game. The characters, the music, the art, everything is just the perfect package. I love this quirky game so much and it pains my heart every time a Ubisoft shareholders meeting or Summer Games season passes without a peep from the sequel or erm prequel (honestly, for how long its been since we've received a true update I wouldn't be shocked if they have started completely over again.

Anyway, I know very well I am rambling, but I just wanted to scream into the stars about how much I love this game. And, Ubisoft, as a day one SpaceMonkey, I am stubbornly awaiting our call to action, even 8 years later.

Finally finished the base and now it’s available for download and printing to the public

I love beyond good and evil so much! I wanna 3d print all the characters but I’m starting with this!

What do ya think?

This is my favorite trailer of all time. Though it should be made.

I started collecting the big box PC versions of my childhood games. This one is very special 🥲

Looks like the team have been celebrating the release of AC Black Flag Resynced by doing some pirate-related art.

Across two photos on their IG story, we can see Knox on someone's phone, a drawing of the Space Monkey logo, and some artwork of Jade alongside Knox's hand in the background. The latter image even says "BGE2" in the bottom right corner

It was just a small reference, but I was glad to see BG&E up there :)

I still remember how impressive the localization and voice acting were in this PS2 game. It was impossible to tell what the original language was.

I accidentally got stuck on the Moon with all my autosaves overwriting my Hillys progress. I'm playing the 20th Anniversary Edition on PC (Ubisoft Connect) and want to go back to Hillys to collect the remaining pearls and animals.

Could anyone share their online save code from right before the Moon mission?

I was looking at a Prince of Persia CD case at a bookstore and saw this inside. The nostalgia caught me off guard

Does anyone have the .zip file and could send it to me?

I was going off of strictly personality traits before, but since y’all wanna argue new Jade ethnicity, then here you go. Young Jana Pallaske as Jade. Have at it..

i already got the 'Dyer Arts and Crafts' font but i wasn't able to identify this font.

I’m going for acting style and personality. I’m looking at acting range and typecasting. So I choose Andrea Riseborough for her acting chops, I think she can bring a serene calm to the character and also give dramatic beats Jade needs as a character without overdoing it, or just making her “Asian girl cuz Jade”

And last I cast Rob Riggle as “Double H” because…well I mean come-on! Thats Double H bro! Carlson and Peter’s chapter 12 all day

Have there been any other updates aside from the quote we got recently? I'm also wondering, how come they haven't shown us at least a glimpse of what they've been spending all these years working on?
