Beyond Good & Evil 2 Creator Apologizes For Lengthy Development Process

If there was one thing I was sad to not see at E3 this year, it was Ubisoft’s Beyond Good & Evil 2. We haven’t officially seen the game since 2008, so when we failed to see the game yet again, I began to think it had been delayed, or there had been a problem with the game. The game’s creator, Michel Ancel, came forward at a French conference recently to explain what was going on with the game’s development.

“He want to develop BGE2 with as little people as possible. It will have an interative Storyline with different outcomings and he want to make it perfect – so it will take a while.”

That translation comes courtesy of NeoGAF, since I’m not well-versed in the French language. If the translation is right, then it’s good to know that development is still progressing. With a small team, and the way Ancel seems to care about this game, it could be a while before we see anything from BG&E2. It’s times like this I want to freeze myself for a while until we see more of the game.

Counter-Strike Player Planned to ‘Wipe Out’ Opponent After In-Game Feud

Writing the headline for this story was difficult, because there’s a lot of info to be clarified in a single sentence. Julien Barreaux, a 20-year old Counter-Strike player from France, decided that after losing an in-game battle to another player, he would track down and kill his rival. To be absolutely clear, this man decided that a fitting revenge for losing an online game would be to track down and murder his opponent- in real life.

As heard in a court in Cambrai, northern France, the man decided that he would plan to kill his rival player and did so for seven months, before showing up at the victim’s house and stabbing him in the chest with a kitchen knife, missing his heart by four inches.

Barreaux was sentenced to 2 years in prison and psychiatric and anger management. The judge said to Barreaux that “You are a menace to society. I am frankly terrified of the disproportionate reaction you could have if someone looked at you the wrong way in the street.” Fortunately in this case, the violence has not been attributed to the game, but to the man responsible. I can’t help but think it might be different if he had killed the unfortunate victim.

Unofficial Word: Motorstorm 2 Announcement Tomorrow — Anyone Speak French?

Sony sure does love the French. First, they get to break news on Damnation and Recoil: Retrograde for the PS3. Now they’re the first with the announcement and media for the sequel of everyone’s favorite rally racer. What? No, not DiRT. Try Motorstorm 2.

Babelfish and Google Translations to the rescue once again, and it seems as though an announcement and a video (hopefully it’s gameplay) will appear tomorrow.

I’m gonna’ see about giving Sony a nice, stern talking to. I know they’re distraught with the departure of Phil, but they can’t just ignore us like this!

Check back tomorrow when one of your friendly neighborhood Riptenians report on the gift that the French will be giving.
