    The widely-wished for sequel to one of Ubisoft's finest efforts is in pre-production, according to Michel Ancel.

    Speaking to jeuxvideo, Ancel, the creator of Rayman, outlines that the game has been worked on for over a year, and with a 10-12 man team, but Ubisoft have yet to approve the game for full development.

    Beyond Good & Evil is, IMO, the type of game that would suit the Wiimote + Nunchuk combo. Jade had to take photographs so the pointing could help a lot here, and she fights swinging a stick, which could easily be done by moving the Wiimote. Given the first one was a commercial failure, i wouldn't be so surpised if they decided to let him continue his work with a small budget that would be reasonnable to develop the game for the Wii. Besides, a team of 10-12 men seems rather low for a 360/PS3 Project, even if it's just pre-production.

    Come on Ubi Soft ! Stop releasing shit on the Wii and let them bring this project to Nintendo's home console ^^ !

    Hmm. I'd be content if they released a straight port of BGaE to the Wii too. I can't get a hold of it for my GameCube anywhere and it goes for high prices.

    A budget port release for Wii launched with the sequel would be brilliant. Unlikely, but brilliant.

    No chance of it being on Wii. It's UBISOFT.

    No chance of this being incredible like the first (apparantly) was, it's THE NEW UBISOFT.

    Poor series. It's like Sonic Team. BG&E never did anything wrong but it'll get a shitty dev. ;(

    Even better would be a "complete" Beyond Good and Evil: Chapter 1 and 2 for $60. You get a remake of the 1st one for the Wii and the 2nd one as well. It could be either a special edition or the regular one.

    If not, then the sequel on the Wii will do just fine since I still own my copy on GC.

    It's in pre-production. If we see it at all it wont be for a long time. And 10-12 people for pre-production is a lot.

    Why can't anyone find games? Where are you people looking? I saw GC BG&E for £12.99 in GAME about 2 months ago. I almost bought it and was going to donate it to the site as a prize or something. Seriously, do you guys only look in Woolworths?

    Anyway, the original was one of the most impressive and polished non-first-party games I played on the GC. Top news about a sequel. The Wii could do with an exclusive of this calibre, but great news regardless.

    I'm not jumping for joy just yet...Ubisofts releases have been terrible of late.

    Will they invest in something worthwhile?

    Ancel wants to make it is quite different to it being approved.
    That said, he has got a lot of influence.
    I hope he is working on it with Fredric Raynal (/fan dream).

    They dont even have to improve the graphics imo, the gamecube one looked fantastic already.
    Same engine, reuse a lot of assets, just make a longer, more rich game and continue the story.

    As for wii-elements, not needed.
    Just Zelda TP style controlls and I'll be happy.

    Indeed. All I need is Shenmue III, and I'll start playing modern games again.

    Tbh, this is not the game I'd put to Wii. I really wouldn't.

    The thing about BG&E is that it is a beautiful game. I'm sure old Linkyshinks can back me up, Beyond Good and Evil, on full specs, on a PC, is a work of art. And I don't know about anyone else, but Mouse/Kbd felt a lot more natural for the camera etc.

    It needs to be on PC. Given that, I sincerely don't believe the Wii could keep up with a PC version, it would be comparatively ugly. And if I'm being honest, the Wii controls wouldn't work.

    Sorry, but they wouldn't.

    And you can bash me for being a Wii hater at this point, and a cynic and everything else, but I'm right. Like Zelda, the combat system would be reduced to pointless waggling on Wii. Like Zelda, being released on Wii would give the publishers leeway that would make an average game.

    Maybe there will be a Wii version, but it won't be first, won't be foremost, and certainly won't be as good. And this is from someone who owns a Wii and nothing else.

    No. Just no. A Wii remake would ruin it.
