Dio Brando 5,810 Posted March 19, 2016 Michel Ancel is good whenever he gets around to actually releasing a product. Isn't he the director of the Beyond Good & Evil "series" ? Of which the sequel has been in development hell for God knows how long? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MythrilMagician 6,963 Posted March 19, 2016 Isn't he the director of the Beyond Good & Evil "series" ?Of which the sequel has been in development hell for God knows how long?A game that has suffered from development hell is Duke Nukem Forever. That game has been in development for 15 years and it wasn't that well received when it released.I have yet to play the original Beyond Good and Evil, but let's just hope for Ubisoft's sake it comes out soon and it comes out good.

Don't forget Final Fantasy XV which was in development hell for 10 years since it's original announcement in 2006 But at least FFXV has a chance of being a good game compared to Duke Nukem Forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzureAce 544 Posted March 19, 2016 The Division is painfully below average, even worse than Destiny at launch in many aspects. No wonder he left. 1 Hero of Winds reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also made the Rayman series. He isn't the best director ever but I think he's kinda like Nomura. Can create amazing games but also takes ages.

Correct It was previously named as FF Versus XIII.............though it's still part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis sub-series of FF games despite being changed into a main game Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
