@@inquisitivemind8061yeah that’s what’s being pointed out, seeing as they’ve only just uploaded it they may have wanted to take it down re render it and put it back up without the delay or as it was original described, with out the “glitch”. The irony of your name is incredible. Never met someone who self identifies as inquisitive be so inane. 😂

[@Usernamehear]

I have heard of this game over the years and never really even knew what kind of game it was or what it was about just that it was loved and failed to sell. I guess I’ll have to finally check it out all these years later.

[@clint9040]

You will see that it's something very special and it will stay with you.

[@Jeffreypennings8]

Love this game so much! So happy they released it on PS4. I think this game was very underrated since the storyline is amazing! ❤

[@Szassiren]

Spoiler but the treasure hunt includes a hidden cutscene of a Beyond good and evil 2 character. I believe this remaster serves to connect the two game’s narratively AND layout the starting grounds for Beyond good and evil 2 promo

[@fioredeutchmark]

Beyond good and evil 2 is vaporware, Ubisoft literally couldn’t even complete a half baked version of black flag while under a strict contract 😂 They also haven’t released a good game in a decade. Literally. What piece of evidence do you have that they would be capable of delivering anything like what they promised with BGE2 never mind soon enough that it would be connected in the collective consciousness of today’s consumers to this rerelease? What’s worse is there are less than 500 people playing this on Steam. I don’t think anyone cares about this franchise, sorry.

[@Szassiren]

@@fioredeutchmark well clearly I care about this franchise and so do others. I say that it could be leading up to bg&e2 because why go the extra mile to insert an entire treasure hunt AND SECRECT CUTSCENE to tease the upcoming game if it’s not gonna happen. Beyond Good and Evil 2 has used a lot of money and resources from Ubisoft so it’s not gonna be cancelled unless they turn the game into something else. If BG&E was gonna be so easily cancelled, they would’ve done so already. The version we get may be half assed but atleast we get something

[@DuckAlertBeats]

​@@fioredeutchmarkAnd if it was even completed, it looked like it was going to be some weird edgy thing anyway completely at odds to the atmosphere and charm of this first game.

[@SkankHunt007]

GOG for PC gamers😎

[@clint9040]

I could never get it to work in windows 10. i just installed the original on a win 11 laptop with an Intel i9 and Nvidea 4070 and it works wonderfully after I used a setup.exe that looks like they added since last i tried unsuccessfully. But now I'm playing it as it was intended with an added bonus of Nvidea control panel enhancements

[@jeremysack5939]

It was unfortunately originally released up against Prince of Persia Sands of Time, off by a week or 2, so everyone who played it loved it, but PoP ran away with the sales. I bought both on day 1 and fell in love with both, probably liking this most. Warrior Within was my favorite PoP.

Can you invert the Y-axis in this version? The only reason I didn't play the original is because you couldn't.

[@richkiller1000]

This game needs to be Read mastered

[@fioredeutchmark]

Got this on its original release 21 (😂) years ago. Tried playing this remaster and damn it’s not aged well at all. Very much feels like a game made in the early 2000’s and honestly I wish I hadn’t come back to this one and left it as a perfectly preserved memory because now I have no idea why I thought this was a 10/10. It’s a decent 7 (maybe not even that If you aren’t a fan of early 3d platformers.)

[@secondchance6603]

This is the problem when you look back at a 20 year old game that was rated very well at the time. I expect some people to have the same view of highly praised games made today as being a bit naff for the same reasons.

[@cameron9643]

this really was a great game. it was too short.

[@DuckAlertBeats]

[@clint9040]

No it was not short. It had cool side quests. Like that race in the hovercraft I could never win but now I just reinstalled the original and I'm going to win that race. Works perfectly in windows 11

[@archangel2015]

Man I wish I hadn’t watched this review cause you could tell this guy wanted to say this game is product of its time, Ubisoft felt obligated to release this 20th anniversary edition to keep beyond good and evil 2 in the public consciousness.

I love the game. But not for $20.

[@dirkdiggler8367]

[@briskdarthmaul]

I'm just gonna stick with the original. Ubisoft pulled a Rockstar/Grove Street Games move and not only delisted the PS3 and Xbox 360 version, but also ruined the art direction and atmosphere. Also 30 FPS on Switch and separate graphics options on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S for a "remaster" of a 2003 game? Pretty bad optimization! So scared of what they'll do with Rayman and Splinter Cell remasters!

[@Downhuman74]

@@fioredeutchmark "Mentally unhinged"? Get a grip dude. 😂 It's been 5 years since we've seen anything and what they showed us last time could have been a sequel/prequel to ANYTHING. That demo featured absolutely nothing to connect it in any way to the original game. None of the original characters - none of the original charming vibe. To me? Absolute garbage in terms of what I thought a proper sequel should be. But at least it was better than that awful trailer with the cursing monkey. It looked like they were flirting with live service elements, too, which is a hard no for me. You can keep it. I don't need another time-sink massive open world game either.

[@DuckAlertBeats]

​@@Downhuman74You're 100 correct and I agree with everything you say, it looked like an absolute nightmare imo, with zero charm, which is crazy when the first one here is so charming. I think they should leave it well alone.
