This game deserves to be released even if something does happen to the staff.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 Development Troubled?
I hope that BG & E gets the sequel it deserves. I have just been re-playing the original and I had forgotten how good it is.
This is very, very sad (if it's all true). Beyond Good and Evil was certainly unpolished in spots (and I have no idea how it holds up, as I haven't played it since it came out), but that was truly a game that was greater than the sum of its parts. I can't really say how (again, it's been awhile) but something about it just WORKED. It worked really well. There were parts where my brain knew it was sorta janky, but the rest of me was having so much fun it didn't matter. That game really sucked me in a way that only the Zelda and Half Life series have managed to do. It absolutely deserves a sequel, and this news is troubling, to say the least.
UPDATE: According to a report about this matter from French gaming blog Gameblog.fr, French Ubisoft representatives and sources within Ubisoft Montpellier are saying these rumors are completely false.
THANK GOD! a lack of Beyond Good & Evil 2 would be a horrible shame... I'm still worried about it living up to the first game but, there is just so little information on it out there it's hard to tell.
It's always a shame when a wonderful game never gains mainstream appreciation and its' sequel is cancelled. Much like this instance and the cancellation of the next Oddworld game.
"I wish Brad had taken the time to verify the truth of the rumor instead of posting an article that's done nothing but put a lot of people's panties in bunches unnecessarily.

There is also a rumor going around that he is working on a new Rayman title! I can't wait to see what he has in store! E3 can't come soon enough!
" Good job, Ubisoft. Now you can make those uninspired/crappy Tom Clancy games, along with your GIRLZ series. Keep losing that money Ubisoft. Karma is a bitch. "
Those [something]Z games are not made by Ubisoft, only published by them. And they are not loosing money, they are even opening up new studios.
" After lurking on this site for a long time without feeling the need to post anything, this news is important enough to make me go through the registration process so that I can contribute my sentiments. .........FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- "And we love you for it <3! You deliver with such depth and feeling, it moves me!
lame! BG&E was one of my fav game of the last gen, and i was very very stoked to see some assassin's creed-esque action in the sequel! i certainly hope this rumor gets debunked, and quick.
BG&E was a bit of a mess (in a Psychonauts way) - not sure what it was at heart and so it flew by most of the gaming audience. I don't think a sequel would change this and overcome the nostalgia factor as well. Some games (ICO, Okami) are perhaps too good, too smart, to appeal beyond a devoted core crowd. With things in the state they are, only the indie scene really provides an avenue for games with ideas beyond the mass-market.
