Thats a new lighting system isn't it? Doesn't look half bad for not being a total graphical remake. I think I remember this game being better than it actually is to play.

edit - Nah wait its mostly redone, looks nice imo.

Yep, that definitely looks a step up than just resolution increase.

 

[Punished Miku]

I still have the original on my account.

Zooming in on the screenshots, it looks like they AI upscaled it and then had humans clean it up, the strangely wavey lines on the guy on the right's arms in your first screenshot makes me think this.

Maybe this is the Xbox's TGA annnouncement

edit - Of course, I forgot I read the rating article, doh. Time to go play a game I'm mind-flailing wildly on a yolk.

It's been rated for PS4, Switch and PC too. I doubt this is a notable 'big' announcement, probably a shadow drop announcement during the show.

Interesting

Sounds like a decent package, let's hope it's priced appropriately.

 

[Synless]

Not the sequel, not interested.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

The love for this game is kinda strange to me. I played it hearing it was like a Zelda clone, but it was more like a standard action-adventure game? Might give it another go with this edition, we'll see.

That's getting released just after the 40th anniversary of BG&E1, bit of a wait yet.

I think its quite overrated, but I had good fun with it, I'd agree its not really a zelda clone.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Never played it before so I'll definitely buy it.

 

[adamsapple]

It's uh .. already live ?

 

[rkofan87]

i will give a go i played hd did not hook me i hope it will this time.

 

[Gambit2483]

What the hell kind of drop was this?

 

[adamsapple]

What the hell kind of drop was this?

Looks like a mistake TBH, no acknowledgment from ubi on twitter or anywhere.

Probably was supposed to go live sometime later (maybe TGA)

 

[Power Pro]

This game was...fine when I finally played it. It felt like it was pretty short, and pretty open for a sequel. When there isn't one, it just is a bummer because it feels unfinished.

 

[Punished Miku]

What the hell kind of drop was this?

Solar Eclipse Drop

 

[JayK47]

I do not get the cult following for this game and the want for a sequel. I played the original and it was ok. The sequel will never come out, but we will get another fancy CGI trailer no doubt.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Cool I guess. It'd be nice if this was a free upgrade

 

[Ribi]

No thanks I'll wait for B&G2

 

[Dr.brain64]

Sweet! I love this game

 

[radewagon]

That motion blur on her legs looks... off. Is this a bullshot?

 

[ShirAhava]

The last time I gave Ubisoft any money was BG&E on Xbox 360 now its gonna be BG&E again years later lol

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Awesome news! My copy has been stranded on the PS3 for way too long.

 

[dotnotbot]

"A Ubisoft original"

 

[rofif]

Wow I loved the original so much. Hope the remaster is good.
Her face looks a bit different?

 

[FoxMcChief]

I’m ashamed to say that I never got around to playing this, despite purchasing it numerous times over the years.

 

[Beer Baelly]

20 years and still no part 2 lol

 

[havoc00]

xbox chads im from all the drops we get

 

[sinnergy]

Again this old ass release where is the sequel??

 

[Majormaxxx]

No sequel for you.

You'll play remasters and love it.

Disclosure I loved the game. Played on pc. Then bought on 360/series x.

Warning there is an awkward control decision in the Final level of the game. Not ideal.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

I played the original recently...hasnt aged well. It was a game for its time but now so cumbersome to play.

 

[TGO]

I mean this is a game from when Ubisoft was good and original.
But I never really got into it though as it felt like one of those THQ games rather then the likes of Prince of Persia & Splinter Cell.
Not sure I'd give it another try, we'll see

 

[March Climber]

Thats a new lighting system isn't it? Doesn't look half bad for not being a total graphical remake.

Considering the age of the game, if it were me, I’d include ray tracing options and features.

 

[balls of snow]

Gimme. Insta purchase when it drops.

 

[Chuck Berry]

I still have the original on my account.

So do I

Also they better let you properly invert the fucking controls this time

 

[Mr Hyde]

Physical?

 

[Gojiira]

Cool…Milk it….Where the fuck is 2?

 

[Hugare]

Stay the fuck away from this version, lmao

It had the most impressive water that I've seen at the time. And now 20 years later they did this.

This is why you cant simply port a game to a new engine, turn on new graphical effects and call it a day. Some effects are made with workarounds that get lost in translation when you move to a newer engine. Same thing happened to the Arkham Trilogy when it was remastered. You have to put some minimum effort, and they clearly didnt.

I repeat: stay away from this release

 

[Esppiral]

Will buy if it is under 30

 

[thatJohann]

Guys, I think the version that went live early is not the finished one. I'm pretty sure the water will be fixed on the day 1 patch. The water you're seeing now is a bug.

(I hope)

 

[Evil Calvin]

There was a HD remaster in 2011 and is backwards compatible on Xbox. $9.99. Just buy that.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Physical?

That would be dope; it's one of my favorite Ubisoft games from the xbox/ps2 era.

 

[TexMex]

Announced and immediately available during the game awards

 

[Evil Calvin]

Physical?

There is a PS2 and Xbox physical

 

[thatJohann]

Do we know if this is coming to other platforms like the Switch or PS5?

 

[thatJohann]

Apparently it's also coming to Switch, PS4, PS5.

I'll get it on Switch.

 

[adamsapple]

Do we know if this is coming to other platforms like the Switch or PS5?

Yes, it was originally rated for all the platforms back in October.
