I am not familiar with those games, can you explain some more why you think that?
A lot of people mention beyond good and evil together with ico and other games that first advanced the notion that video games could be considered art.
I was and remain very impressed by ico, journey, shadow of the colossus and even the last of us because they elicit a genuine sense of pathos and sympathy for the characters. I liked beyond good and evil but I honestly can't say that I had any profound emotional response to it.
Gameplay wise it could also be a bit grindy, sort of like a marioesque series of side tasks. And graphically it was serviceable but certainly not spectacular even for 2003.
This is almost certainly the HD remaster, though. Which is significantly better looking.
Edit: wait, maybe not. What the hell.
being a console exclusive harmed ico pretty heavily. hard to like a game if you can't play it on your platform
well gameplay is different from those games but story wise its very deep and engaging
not sure why you got negged so much for expressing an innocent opinion
few people think it is always JV in the first comment and neg it no matter what he says or before reading ;)
what is JV?
doesn't seem fair either way….@rt1111: Surrender your OZB badge here. Its been more than 1 year you have been here and u dont know JV?
Low quality console war bait, typically posted by people who want to start internet arguments or haven't played many quality games
Sequel on NX?
Apparently. It's also in quite early development too.
quite early in development? interesting. i read yesterday that it's been in development apparently since 2008 :|
But that's preliminary development I think. Doom (2016) was in development since 2007 or something then got scrapped several times and restarted. I think they've only just started confused development, so it's not just tests and things.
@MrSammyMcG: Well, that still sounds like they are stuck in the "development hell"…
Doom has been scrapped completely and redeveloped a few times from what I read/heard before.
@CheapCoffee: Yeah i think so. Well maybe they were offing and inning it again and they've started proper development now. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it turns out when it's released.
@CheapCoffee: this is the correct summary indeed. the Doom we got in 2016 was not the same Doom in development since 2007.
I've tried a few times to finish this game but never got around to it. It's a great game with everything in it that I usually like but I always kept forgetting about it. Chances are I'll give it another go.
Sounds like Futurama the show everyone claims they love to watch but then when ratings come around no one does.
futurama fans stream and timeshift. ratings boxes only account for live viewings last time i checked. the problem is not with the viewers, the problem is with the outdated methodology. this is why 16 and pregnant is still on television
Well you should check more.
same. it is a great game but somehow i couldnt finish it back in time.
Loved this game on Gamecube. Kudos to Ubisoft by making great older games free.
Ozbargain reminder set :)
Does anyone know if the September game is accessible now in Oct?
I just claimed The Crew which is the September reward.
Just claimed it. Seems like it'll be up until the 12th.
Fantastic game! Shame they never completed the sequel :(
Actually they recently confirmed the sequel is happening likely 2018 or maybe even late 2017.
Oh wow! Yeah just found the confirmation on ubisoft Facebook page. That's great news :)
I remember this being a bit buggy for me on steam, would this version be any better?
It would be the same
ta
one of the best games made story wise and game play, it didnt do well though in terms of sales so sequel was dropped. i played this way back still have fond memories
Almost shelled out a fiver for this on PSN last week! wipes brow
The PSN version is an HD re-master featuring improved character models and textures, as well as a modified soundtrack. Achievements, trophies and online leaderboards were also added. The HD re-master has not been released on PC :(
I remember this being a really good game (I probably still have it somewhere), but I haven't played it in over a decade. Hopefully it holds up.
I don't really care that much about Beyond Good and Evil, but I just grabbed The Crew for free from the link! Thanks!!
Site is getting hammered this morning by the look of it.
As with last month, I can't successfully log in - and I have no idea if i managed to claim the previous game or not in the end. Grrr.
Thanks for alerting us to the new offer though.I cant log in either, just get the ubisoft club circle thing.
EDIT:
I can log in and access the site just not UB30! not sure whats going on.
I can't find the darn link; it just takes me into my ubi account.
Do I need uplay software installed to claim it?I had to do it through the uplay client as the UBI30 page didnt load for me but it loaded through the uplay client.
I remember last time I attempted to download the ubi client which was about 80mb in itself then it started downloading and apply multiple patches/updates of large file size… so I cancelled. Too much risk for me on mobile data.
It was approximately 80 MB download, but it didnt download any additional packages so hope this helps you.
As much as I enjoyed this game I don't think it deserves comparisons to ico, journey and the like. Still a good game though.
