Beyond Good and Evil Soundtrack- 'First Encounter'

Download Link: www.stormeffect...
Beyond Good and Evil was an all-format action-adventure title helmed by Michael Ancel which, due to poor sales, never saw a sequel. The soundtrack was composed by Christophe Heral and remains one of the most memorable features of a truly great game.

[@deadspace4755]

​@@lelagrangeeffectphysics4120This is why modern games have lost faith. They only want to copy successes instead of trying something original. As if our games should be Uncharted, dark souls and what not . It is fine to take inspiration but not in this case of Beyond good and evil. It is pretty ironic and insulting, both to players and developers, to make something great and then, suddenly,change your ways to laziness. Then, make a game that isn't original. They are always exceptions. This game for me, is in the category of "The most unique games". Combines an excellent story, strong and proper, likeable female protagonist (very rarely seen). In addition, it combines a large variety of mini games, racing, stealth,combat, puzzles. You name them.

[@lelagrangeeffectphysics4120]

@@deadspace4755 Id say a lot of the VG industry has just lost the idea of having a vision, when the scene was smaller we have visionnaries like john carmack and gabe newell making amazing games because only passionate people got into the scene, now we have business plans and more often than not its the "make game, go viral, monetize, profit" notice how there isnt a "make a good game" or "make it memorable", most game project are blazing stars, burn short, burn bright, phase out, repeat

Shauni is the Domz name from Jade. The Domz call her Shauni and I think she was a Domz creature. They just want her back, or something. This is what I understood from the game. Thanks for the cool lyrics, Ascensiam.

[@EveryThingGirl238]

Shauni was the name of the DomZ High Preist 'power source' it was what gave him and all his creatures power. However, Jade's parents and possibly others, under the rule of this oppressive race (At least from what I gathered) sought to kill the DomZ by taking away the power they feed on. However it didn't die, just feed off of lesser life forms misery and other emotions to survive. Hunting Jade/Shauni down to force her... it? not sure, back into the role as the 'food source' Currently, it's unknown is Shauni was a person or just a concept of power put into a human baby. What we do know is Shauni has enough power to bring back dead people to life, and still be fine herself. Meaning that she is possibly something else entirely that we have yet to find out.

[@NightStorm1000]

@@EveryThingGirl238 The Battle theme that Plays while you fight the High Priest is called "Sins of the Father". That has to be of significance. I am pretty sure it was Jades Father who stole Shauni from the Domz.

It's funny how PS3 was brand new when they announced BG&E2 (2006-2007 IIRC). If you think about it, we're having a PS4 (maybe even next gen) game as the sequel of a PS2 game. It's impressive. I hope it'll be on PC like the first one - it would be a shame if it wasn't.
