There were rampant rumors last week that the creator of the first Beyond Good & Evil, Michael Ansel, was quitting Ubisoft and was going to be creating his own studio. This rumor dashed the hopes of hundred if not thousands (myself included) that the much anticipated sequel to the amazing Xbox and PS2 game would be coming out…thankfully this wasn’t true.
Eurogamer thankfully has enough clout with Ubisoft and asked the difficult questions for all of us and has confirmed that BG&E2 is still in development and that Michael Ansel is still very much employed with the French company.
So all of you gamers out there need to chill the fuck out and quit making me worry that the sequel to one of the better gaming experiences I’ve ever had isn’t happening.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
