Its been a while since I've posted a blog on this site, so I thought, what the hell, make it about E3........or what was missing at E3, namely Beyond Good And Evil II. I loved the first one, in spite of its faults. It really created a unique world, which was something I felt had not been done successfully since The Legend Of Zelda.: Ocarina Of Time.

In any case, I thought after seeing the leaked trailer, that the game might get a holiday release. Then E3 came and Ubisoft's press conference dissappointed me by not even mentioning the franchise. Then I put my wishfull thinking into The Tokyo Game Show, an unlikely place for a European developer to make any announcements, but still, you might never know. The extra couple of months could have been enough to put together a playable demo to show at the press.

The nail in the coffin came when I was browsing the internet last night and I stumbled upon a job request by Ubisoft at Gamasutra for a Senior Gamedesigner for Beyond Good And Evil II.

So I presume that if Ubisoft has yet to design parts of the game, that it's a long way from being completed...........and I thought the 18 months between the announcement and release of Assassin's Creed was drawn-out.

P.S.: Should any of you guys apply and be accepted for said position, I would say you'd atleast owe me an early demo or two.
