GameInformer, Kyle Hilliard- "On the one hand, I am happy to see Rayman Legends coming to other consoles. I had the privilege of checking out the game at E3 last year and writing an extended hands-on preview of the game for a recent issue of the magazine. Rayman Legends is one of the games I am most excited to play this year, and I am happy that the available audience that will get to play it has effectively tripled. I am rooting for the Wii U, and this is a blow to the system’s health, but in the long run, I want more people to be able to play the games that I think will be great, rather than claim supreme exclusivity.
On the other hand, however, I am not happy that the finished game is going to stew for seven months while it gets ported."
Ubisoft barely have a leg to stand on lately, so do they need to crack open the vaults and return platforming royalty to glory for some goodwill?
We need Rayman 4, they could make a great platformer game if they wanted. With the open hub levels and the like.
Better than relying on Rabbids and Assassins Creed all the time
Yes..but I am sure it won't be the Rayman game fans want. Not from the company that is Ubisoft today.
Ancel is retired from games. His hoodlum/rabbid team are doing their own thing. It would not be the same if Ubisoft did.
Experience points, skill trees to fill up, level gating, endless menial tasks and side quests, constantly scrounging for resources. Always having to upgrade your gear. A.KA. "The Ubisoft effect".
No thanks, don't ruin Rayman's legacy.
A decade on from Rayman Legends' release, it remains a near perfect platformer, so what happened to Rayman? Will we ever see another sequel?
Rayman Legends made its debut 10 years ago today, and has been launched on nearly every gaming platform since.
Too bad Ubisoft only cares about live service games now. Maybe one day they'll make a new Rayman game.
Great games.. would be cool to get qn Origins remaster at least..I know that many of the levels are in Legends, but still
I didn't realize it was a 7 month delay. That is terrible. They should of released it on Wii U and then released it for other systems when the port gets finished. Why do this? This is the crap Square did when they ported the Xbox version of FFXIII. Also, 7 months? So it will launch on Wii U and also on the PS4? That will make the Wii U version look double worse as it's getting released on a potential system that will be possibly 5 times as powerful. Ubi did this wrong. Wii U now. I love Rayman Origins. I have no problem waiting. Not fair to Wii U owners at all.
Why not give it a Digital release on the WiiU?
In that way, it will only be available to the fans and the Hardcore.
That will lessen their shipping cost and they won't have to advertise for it Twice.
When they release it for all Systems then they can ship it out in Box form for WiiU as well.
They could use the Digital sells to fund the TV advertising.
I have other games to finish. I think I will be fine waiting life could be worse.
anyone disapointed with rayman legends delay, or its cross platformitty, is really just showing their true colors as a fan-boy/girl
