    A couple of weeks ago, Beyond Good & Evil HD debuted on Xbox Live Arcade as a part of Microsoft’s “House Party” promotion. Now that the party is over, Ubisoft is talking about the re-release’s impending PSN launch window. Expect to see a sharper-looking Jade and friends at some point this May, according to a recent PlayStation blog post

    In a cool twist, Ubisoft is set to offer PSN users a special bonus if they jump on the game fast-like: a purchase within the first two weeks of the game’s appearance on the network will reward them with a Jade and a Pey’J PSN card avatar, like so:

    The stealth segments in the later portions of the game are terrible, but as a whole, BG&E HD actually manages to hold up. I think, at least, that it’s worth your time if you didn’t catch the game when it first hit, but I’ve got a big ol' soft spot for games that do the Zelda formula well. Who's in for this one on the PS3?

    I really enjoyed playing through the game again on XBLA. It's a fun and easy S-Rank for any  achievement whores, although it will take 10 hours.

    Sooner than I expected, was thinking fall at the earliest, good to hear.  Not sure if I'll pick it up a 3rd time (already own the PC and PS3 versions), but I may cave.

    actually, no. in an interview a day before the XBLA launch on the active-time-babble-podcacst on 1up, they specifically said that they signed an exclusivity deal with MS for torchlight and that they don't have the ressources to spare for another port since they already had to take people off of torchlight 2 to make the XBLA port. so don't expect torchlight on PSN (at least not anytime soon ..torchlight 2 development + exclusivity and all..)

    I'm starting to think that releasing a game on different platforms on different dates is actually just a strategy to increase profits rather than a delay due to porting issues. 
     
    Think about it: If you announce you're releasing a game on XBLA, it will be covered by all the game news outlets. Then it gets released, and the news outlets cover it again. 
     
    Then a couple weeks later, you announce you're releasing it on PSN, and guess what?  The game news outlets do another write up!  And then it hits that platform and you get a write-up yet again! 
     
    What could have been only two news stories is now four.  And the increased exposure this brings results in higher profits. 
     
    Repeat this process for release on the PC, Mac, Wii, etc, and you're a savvy business man.

    @ajamafalous: The 360 and PS3 versions are ports of the old PC version, since that was originally in HD :P Thus the camera problems in the new versions, the PC one had that as well. I'll probably get this, hopefully it'll have a platinum trophy :)

    Definitely wasn't in HD in the same sense, there's things beyond changing a game's resolution that attributes to that. That and it was full of a good amount of jank.

    there was a post all the way back in september on the PS blog about BG&E HD on PSN 
    http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/09/30/ubisofts-upcoming-psn-games-beyond-good-evil-hd-scott-pilgrim-dlc-and-more/  
    they just fail to mention the 360 exclusivity.....i hope i remember to buy/play this in may, what with all the other games coming out (la noir, socom 4/portal 2 a few weeks before, etc....)

    Isn't this pretty much just the PC port, ported back to more modern consoles?
    The original PC version already supported HD resolutions, and is available on GOG.com without DRM. It's possible they added some anti-aliasing, new shaders or something like that I suppose, but on the whole the HD remakes don't use any new art assets

    Something like that.  The original and currently available PC version doesn't have proper widescreen support, no official gamepad support, menus use an unusual combination of the mouse buttons and scroll wheel, the controls remapping section of the configuration tool is limited, and there's no option to invert the y-axis of the mouse when in third-person combat, effectively making the game unplayable for people who play with their mouse inverted.  And it uses DirectInput, so even AutoHotKey can't help.  I got the game from GOG at the beginning of the week and I'm still trying to find a way to get the mouse inverted so I can actually play it.
     
    Apparently, they lack of y-inversion is still in the new HD version.  I guess they did just port the PC version.  Yo dawg, I heard you like ports--

    I'll probably forget by then.  They should have just released for both platforms at once while they had my attention. :(

    So I discovered the other night I ended up with the original version of this on my Steam account at some point.  
     
    Would it still be worth it to pick it up on PSN?
