Ubisoft Considers Beyond Good & Evil a Mistake

[SargeSmash]

I remember the launch of Beyond Good & Evil very clearly. Right in the midst of the holiday season, and against their own, higher-profile release, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Couple that with almost no advertising, and is there any wonder that it was a "failure"?

The real "mistake" was releasing the game in 2003, with a load of other overhyped titles and little advertising.
A rather similar mistake was repeated this year as Rayman Legends was released just before GTAV, almost completely overshadowing RL. These people never learn.

Oh well, its been 10 years now. Any hope they will make BG&E2 AND it will be good is gone for me. Its like Duke Nukem Forever now.

What a shame really, even Yahtzee's popped BG&E out in a few videos as an actually good game.
