On Beyond Good &amp; Evil 2, for example, there were too many problems between managers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe art director wanted to redo everything over and over again, the game director wanted to make a generated dungeon game and I was dreaming of a space adventure. We simply couldn\u2019t agree, and the game director took the project in other directions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this type of situation, the teams are thrown around and don\u2019t even know who\u2019s in charge and who\u2019s making the decisions. The producer is supposed to bring order to the situation, but that didn\u2019t happen. <a class=\"link-relationship\" title=\"People &gt; Yves Guillemot [103 articles]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/people\/yves-guillemot\/\">Yves Guillemot<\/a> even had to go down to Montpellier to get things back on track, but that wasn\u2019t enough, and the game director continued in his stubbornness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ancel also stated that while he was annoyed to have been cited in reports as one of the key reasons for the game\u2019s issues, he did take some responsibility by not speaking out more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I read in [French newspaper] Lib\u00e9 that I was the one running the game and asking for changes, I thought I was going to choke,\u201d he recalled. \u201cBeyond Good &amp; Evil 2 is the one game where I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever questioned a decision. I\u2019d be delighted to discuss this with any detractors.<\/p>\n<div class=\"vgc-embed\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Beyond Good &amp; Evil 2: E3 2018 Cinematic Trailer | Ubisoft [NA]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/IsoIUHDrPcg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s all a case of passionate managers not getting along. I believe that some time ago, these people were dismissed and the project found a certain balance with new managers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese management problems are of course very damaging for the teams. All this goes to show that it\u2019s not an easy job \u2013 lots of egos and lots at stake, with clearly room for improvement in terms of human management.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThere wasn\u2019t just one big villain, but a whole series of key issues that remained unresolved at management level, including myself. I have my share of responsibility and I should have defended the project better, been more present and more conciliatory with the staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"link-relationship\" title=\"Companies &gt; Ubisoft [1,190 articles]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/companies\/ubisoft\/\">Ubisoft<\/a> CEO Yves Guillemot claimed in 2020 that Beyond Good &amp; Evil 2<a class=\"link-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/news\/beyond-good-and-evil-2-is-progressing-well-following-michel-ancels-departure\/\"> was \u201ccoming along very well\u201d<\/a>, after being asked to provide a development update on the game during an earnings call following Ancels\u2019 departure.<\/p>\n<p>Four years later, however \u2013 and some 16 years since the sequel\u2019s initial announcement \u2013 Ubisoft has still shown nothing substantial relating to the game.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, it maintains that it remains in development, and a 20th Anniversary Edition remaster of the first Beyond Good &amp; Evil released earlier this year <a class=\"link-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/news\/beyond-good-evils-remaster-includes-a-new-mission-connecting-to-the-sequel\/\">contained a new mission<\/a> which the publisher said \u201creveals more about the narrative link to Beyond Good &amp; Evil 2, showing Ubisoft\u2019s enduring commitment to the franchise\u201d.<\/p>\n<div id=\"signoff\" class=\"signoff\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 208.49 208.49\"><defs><\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[.cls-1{fill:url(#linear-gradient)}.cls-2{fill:#fff}]]><\/style>\n<lineargradient id=\"linear-gradient\" x1=\"0.01\" y1=\"208.49\" x2=\"208.49\" y2=\"0.01\" gradientunits=\"userSpaceOnUse\"><stop offset=\"0\" stop-color=\"#f47820\"\/><stop offset=\"1\" stop-color=\"#feb823\"\/><\/lineargradient><\/defs><g id=\"l2\"><g id=\"l1\"><polygon class=\"cls-1\" points=\"20.77 0 0 20.77 0 208.49 187.74 208.49 208.49 187.74 208.49 0 20.77 0\"\/><path class=\"cls-2\" d=\"M50.83,76.69l9.54,43.9,9.55-43.9H80.76l-14.1,55.1H53.72l-14.1-55.1Z\"\/><path class=\"cls-2\" d=\"M168.87,113.36v1.3c-.15,11.64-5.79,18-18.44,18-13.38,0-18.73-7-18.73-19.74V95.71c0-12.87,5.42-19.89,18.73-19.89,12.36,0,18.36,6.3,18.36,18v.8h-10.7v-1c0-5.71-2.6-8.38-7.66-8.38-6.58,0-8.25,3.76-8.25,10.84v16.42c0,7.08,1.52,10.77,8.25,10.77,5.35,0,7.59-2.53,7.81-8.46v-1.44Z\"\/><path class=\"cls-2\" d=\"M123.7,94.26v-.57c-.07-11.72-6.14-17.87-19.16-17.87S85.16,82.4,85.16,95.64v17.43c0,12.8,5.64,19.59,19.24,19.59s19.23-6.22,19.23-19.16V102.65H113.22l-8.82,8.82h9.11v2.82c0,6.3-2.6,9.19-8.82,9.19-7.31,0-9.26-2.82-9.26-10.49V95.78c0-7.52,2.53-10.63,9.11-10.63,6.15,0,9,2.39,9,8.32v.79Z\"\/><\/g><\/g><\/svg><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/news\/michel-ancel-claims-beyond-good-evil-2-development-hindered-by-problems-between-managers\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rayman and Beyond Good and Evil creator Michel Ancel has shed more light on the development issues faced by Beyond Good &amp; Evil 2, blaming management conflicts.
