PlayStation Plus: Rayman Origins Free for Members

By Kristine Steimer: "Ubisoft Montpellier recently released Rayman Legends, a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Rayman Origins. An ever-charming, colorful platformer, Rayman Origins will get you reacquainted with the armless, legless hero who first appeared on the original PlayStation. Rayman is perfect on the PlayStation Vita, and PS Plus members will be able to experience this game for free when it enters the Instant Game Collection tomorrow."

Man i wish there was a way to get some of the older titles.I barely got PSN+ and I missed a lot of games :(,

[pedrof93]

I wish we could have PSone classics with Ps+.

Imagine that.

[xHeavYx]

Funny, I was thinking last night how cool it would be to play Driver 2

[WeAreLegion]

Did you not get any of the PS One classics while they were a regular feature of PS Plus?

[Thehyph]

What Legion said.
They did offer a few PS One classics last year for a while. I believe they got rid of doing them when they took up PSP and Vita games on the service.

edit: PS One classics are great on Vita, albeit not free, of course. If anything, they should be played on Vita instead of PS3. I say this because PS One games did not age well when thrown on a modern HDTV. The Vita's smaller screen makes them look better.

I actually just subscribed in june.

[vigilante_man]

I play the ones I bought on the Vita and they play great. My PSP games even look and play better as well!

In Europe we got this Origins already. Its a great looking game.

They were giving out PS1 classics before they started passing out the bigger titles that we see nowadays. I think I remember seeing Castlevania SOTN go on PS+ for free and that being one of the few moments when I first started considering the value of subscribing.

The games got better and better but they never revisited any games that came and went so I eventually jumped when I saw some games I really wanted pop up. I didn't want to miss out on anything seeing as once it's gone they (so far) never come back.

I wish they'd give out PS1 classics again though, those ones you got to keep forever, even if you didn't resubscribe you got to keep them with no restrictions.

I'm quite happy to be playing this title again. My toddler lost my copy months ago and I assumed I was just SOL. Now I get a chance to finish a great game. :)

[Mr-SellJack]

Haha i have it already on the eu IGC long time!

[boing1]

Awesome!

[DeadManIV]

Far Cry 3 on Wednesday for EU!!!

[strigoi814]

Im really pissed when i own the game already then PS+ send it as part of the game collection...sigh

[ShwankyShpanky]

Thankfully this is for the Vita version. I say "thankfully" because I just bought the PS3 version a couple months back because it was like $5 with the PS+ discount.

[Magicite]

[Kingthrash360]

hey,hey,hey c'mon now...in their defense crackdown 1 was better than 2...lol

[nosferatuzodd]

Indeed lol

[GirlOnFire]

Rayman Origins is amazing I got to say. I need money I want Legends already. :'(

[TheLastGuardian]

I loved Rayman Origins on the PS3 and Vita so much. Got the platinum in both versions. Now I'm playing Rayman Legends. These are some of the best platformers I've played. I hope they continue making these great Rayman games next gen.

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

So glad I bought this for Vita when it was on sale a couple of weeks ago. /s

[0ut1awed]

You should have just held out for Legends since it was so close lol. It has pretty much all of origins in it. Although having the full Origins game gives you access to all the trophies.

[Lboogieskells]

Playstation, the reasonably sane place to game.

[FRAKISTAN]

Rayman Origins is good but EU gets Far Cry 3 and Dragon Dogma Dark arisen, i am so glad i got EU PS plus

[RufioLumos]

And EU has already had Rayman Origins, albeit just the Vita version. But, boy, it looks beautiful.
