I don't know if this is old news, but anyway, The latest PlayStation 2 official Magazine (UK) says that Michel Ancel, the french geek behind rayman, is rumored to be working with Peter Jackson on a King Kong sequel for PlayStation 3. WTF, King Kong reborn ??

they should do the story about Son of Kong fighting Nazis.
If they call it King Kong Jr. and he has to climb vines IN HYPER-REALISTICALLY RENDERED 4D and avoid alligators and shit, I would buy it just for the sheer audacity.
 
My girlfriend got me this for PS2 for Christmas and I actually thought it was fairly decent. I'd be interested in a new one (if it was on the 360).

Pfffttt....you don't really render in 4D, you exist within it....seriously. We just quantify it as time.
 
King Kong was a good game. It relied too much on scripting, had way more bug combat than needed and the difficulty was too low. Still, exploring Skull Island was more entertaining than watching the movie.

Ancel is hard at work on Rayman 4, so I doubt, he's working on a second King Kong at the moment. Maybe they are discussing the option of doing such a game ;). Although I'd prefer Ancel to do Beyond Good&Evil, Rayman, or an original project.
 
God dammit! This had better be a rumor. I need Ancel to make Beyond Good & Evil 2 when he's finished with Rayman. :(

Yes, this would be best. You can't leave an awesome game like Beyond Good and Evil hanging like that you bastards!!
 
I would prefer Ancel stick to being as creative as possible within his own worlds instead of mucking about in other IPs. And please, for the love of god, bring on Beyond Good and Evil 2.
 
I'd prefer he get crackin on Beyond Good & Evil 2, but anything the guy touches is gold, so we all win. As for the sequel, who knows what direction it may take?

I thought the game was incredible, but waaaay too short.

It was a great rental though. I'd play a sequel and buy one if they bumped the length up to where it should be.
 
Beyond Good and Evil wasnt that hot, not sure hwy it gets so much praise, I can name a half dozen generic last gen platformers that were more fun and well put together.

Why, so it can sell 50,000 copies worldwide?

This guy is right guys. He needs to make a game when you electrocut hookers and then piss on them. It would sell like 6 million copies. Afterall sales reflect how fun and good a game is :lol
BG&E2!!!

Please, please for the love of god do that. That list will get owed so fast it will either prove your eating too much pixy dust or only played the game for 10mins. :)

:lol

Not quite what I was getting at. I'll say this: If you like Ancel so much, it's probably best not to wish for him to start working on a sure-fire bomb.

It worked for Shadow of the Colossus

Holy ****...is this actually true? SotC only moved around 50,000? Wow....

I don't know, if Ubisoft can pony up the cash to bring over Drakengard 2, then they MUST be able to afford taking a chance on BG&E2. You make a good point though.

I was more referencing ICO, because that game sucks ass and here we are with ass game sequel which also bombed, because it was also ass.

Shadow of the Colossus sold way more in each territory, let alone worldwide. I think Japan was > 100,000 in week one, and the US was close to that or more in its first month, and so was Euro.

Yeah, I missed what Demi was getting at. Hell, maybe BG&E 2 could sell better than the original, but I doubt it.

You have to aim right at the heart Amirox. Like "Shadow of Collosus sure did sell ALOT more than Advent Rising -- and rightly so".

This is what Beyond Good and Evil needed more of.
