Beyond Good and Evil 2 designer reveals that the long delay was mostly caused by technical issues that prevented the devs from finishing the game sooner.
Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida claims PlayStation still believes Xbox is their only true competitor, not Nintendo.
True, they have pretty different audiences..and some People just have both at home or a PS and a PC that emulates more or less everything from Nintendo.
Xbox hasn't been a competitor since the XB360. Last generation and this generation Sony has been running circles around Xbox. As for Sony vs Nintendo Sony runs circles yes but I don't really see Nintendo as competition. Nintendo does their own thing and it works.

Details are important. Console sales yes. Overall games Xbox seems to be doing fairly well in that department.
I think it's all PS fans have left at this point. Console wars were always a competition for fourth place behind Nintendo, PC and mobile. If Xbox evaporates into a hybrid virtual platform, then PS will be perennially left in last place.
Strange, I recall all those FCC documents and witness testimonies saying the exact opposite... Guess Microsoft doesn't know what it's talking about?
microsoft wanted to crush sony into dust and they had the money to do it, but with such weak leadership it was always going to fail
Had the money? They still have the money but the industry has changed since xbox 360. Microsoft is the number one publisher in gaming. I'd hardly call that failing.
The industry hasn't changed though, just ms, Microsoft was the no1 publisher for a month in december 2024, the actual no1 for fy2024 was tencent if game sales are all that's being counted.
Money doesn't mean you'll be successful large corporations have entered and failed before like Nec
Game Rant interviews Plants vs. Zombies composer Peter McConnell about honoring the series’ quirky roots, adapting its themes, and now going vinyl.
The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
Game Rant speaks with actor Samantha Béart about their new and upcoming video game roles in Tron: Catalyst, Fading Echo, and more.
"Technical issues" huh. Now there's a funny way of saying "board of executives."
I'm much more interested in their explanation as to why a game confirmed to be in development in 2008 is now only in "pre-development" eight sodding years later.
Sure it was..... Sure....
But somehow, UbiSoft was able to iron out issues for other teams by releasing Assassin's Creed games, Rayman games, Watchdog games, ghost recon games, rainbow six games, etc. Somehow, just an overflow of them while we waited and waited for BG&E2 that never came. Nothing to do with sales compared to other franchises like splinter cell? Right.
The first game came out 13 years ago this November. I passed the game on to someone who was 5 and he loved it and played it multiple times. He is now going to be 18 and he now plays The Division. Another UbiSoft game that seems to have overcome technical issues to be released.
Don't believe that for a minute. I still want the game but d@mn!
So sad.
Technical Issues? I don't think that has stopped Ubisoft before from releasing a game. And they still hold all rights over Beyond Good and Evil so they will decide anything. It's pretty much Ubisoft's Final Fantasy VII, except a sequel rather a remake. I don't believe anything from Ubisoft or the devs until we get some HARD conclusive confirmation with gameplay. Why hype a game that doesn't exist in the first place?
Looking forward to the day it DOES release, but until then. Ubisoft. Please shut up about it. Either make it or don't. Don't tease fans >_>
Technical Issues? Pfft, yeah right.
What really happened is that Ubisoft lost faith in the game, and Nintendo stepped in to fund it, securing it as an NX exclusive.
