But then you took it away. You moved it onto other, lesser platforms. You ruined our lives. You destroyed Nintendo. You made our Wii U worthless. And the Rayman franchise? You might as well throw it on the Mega Man pile of failure."
What a load of crap."
let nintendo make exclusive titles for the wii u and the nintendo fans will be fine. they are content with waiting for months or a year for one game from nintendo. the wii u is rubbish and a waste
Not that it matters. I don't care much for Rayman anyway. The only reason why it's being pushed back is because Microsoft doesn't allow games to be released after a competitor; a practice they will soon regret.
WiiU's a waste?...
your damn right you're scared.
A Ps4 720 simultaneous release will prove to be a disaster in this type of climate.
"The Wii U version matches the look of the Xbox 360 game and thus gives it an edge visually over the PlayStation 3 release, but unfortunately it comes up well short in terms of performance - an aspect that is all-important to the playability of a COD title. The frame-rate variance is such that the PS3 game feels generally smoother, while the 360 release feels like an entirely different game in the more demanding levels. Bearing in mind the commonalities in hardware design between Wii U and Xbox 360, we can't help but feel somewhat disappointed that Black Ops 2 under-performs so noticeably."

"In the final analysis, the PS3 version remains the most impressive version of the game with higher-quality textures in places and superior performance, followed by the 360 release, while the Wii U sits in last place."

Well at least your right about Assasins Creed 3
"With all four versions of Ubisoft's trilogy-closer out in the wild, the Wii U certainly stands its ground against the PS3 and 360 releases."

But in all due honesty i dont believe that developers have a hang of the Wii Us hardware yet which is why some ports on the Wii U are worse than the 360 (and in some cases the PS3 version) in some cases.
Oh give me a break. So it's completely valid for fanboys to sling mud at Nintendo for Bayonetta 2 but Nintendo fans can't be angry about the delay? Are you freaking serious?
What rubbish logic. What money does Ubisoft need? They released TWO successful blockbuster games (Assassin's Creed III and Far Cry 3) just last year.
Just an observation.
It's obviously not illegal in any way, it's just...jerky. It's just exactly what people are saying. It's the move of a company that has no regard for consumer interest unless it involves squeezing a little extra cash out of them.
Which most non-Wii U owners would tell you is "just business"... until they were getting a similar treatment.
but the fact the game release was delayed 7 or so months when it is already done. It is just sitting there
It would be like say, Final Fantasy Verse was about to come out in two weeks, but then Square decides to delay the game a year because they wanted to work on the Xbox version, despite the Sony version being 100% done.
The game was to be released as an exclusive a little over a week from now, if I'm not mistaken, with not much heavy competition in it's way. Now........ they would rather have it release after E3, when everyone are surely going to be hyped for other games and consoles and along with the release of GTAV and god knows what else in the same month of this game. Ubi are going to need a hell of an advertising campaign for this game. Which is another reason why that date was a bad idea, for they could also have saved more money in that department.
I'm not at all pissed at it going multiplatform or even it's delay. I didn't have my sights set on this game as much as I have for Monster Hunter tri U and The Last of Us. However, the frustration on the delay is understandable, especially since we were so close to the original release date.
Ah well, just my take on all of this. Best of luck Ubi.
Whatever it may be, they are going to place this game in quite the potential predicament when it launchs compared to the window they could have had had they've released it on an earlier date.
As for the boycotts, I can't say I agree with that.
Come on.
You played it and liked it? Good, now wait for the game to come out, buy it, and enjoy it. Don't talk out of your ass.
It's like the author saw how much the "Ubisoft are jerks" article got in the way of hits on N4G and thought up a way to try to get even more hits and/or controversy. (i.e. a typical games journalism tactic)
This whole thing is a joke at this point. So's the community.
And you know what? Ubisoft will blame the lack of another Rayman game on the poor sales that they themselves initiated.
I know I'm not alone in saying that a third Rayman game in the vein of Rayman Origins would be fantastic, but due to this decision by the higher-ups at Ubisoft, we probably won't get it.
Just the other day Alien colonial marines was a godsend to wiiu players because gearbox said that crap would look better on wiiu and low and behold it is a mediocre pile of #hit that is no good on any console and is setting no benchmarks. wasnt this the game that would show wiu's power? Oh i see ppl have now moved on to Rayman and Bayonetta lol hahahahaha you guys never learn do you?
In response to Benjaminkno.....
Yeah the best versions lol Do your research BO2 isnt better on wiiu so idk where you get this info from. As a matter of fact xbox has the better version with Ps3 having a slight visual downgrade but performing all around better than the wiiu version so try again lol
Batman also is worst on wiu along with Sega All star new racing game lol!!!!! Give it up man and stop looking for a game to prove Wiiu is nxt gen its getting embarrassing now every time these fanatics get proven wrong.
What i also find funny is that all these ppl diehard nin. fans a week ago were hyping up alien Colonial Marines but now you dont see them commenting on the reviews of that crap lol Yeah that game just like Zombi u really shows what the Wiiu is about lol smh
You guys get minimal upgrades on games and downgrades at the same time then talk about the best versions lol Its a shame how iwata has most of you guys fooled lol
While selling consoles, the respective company offers you some unique experiences that no one other than the platform owners would be able to enjoy. If you like what you're shown, you give them your hard earned money, trusting that they will indeed deliver what's promised. As a consumer, your end of the deal done when you buy the console. You don't have to wrap your head around sales numbers, how Wii U is doing, if the software will be profitable etc, it's not your responsibility, when you're promised, you expect it to happen. But once a development company comes up and says "Oh, about that one experience you're told, we're going to have to delay it so that EVERYONE can enjoy it now", you know original platform owners will feel cheated, and rightfully so.
That being said, I think Nintendo will be doing everything in its power to make up for this. As far as I know they have a Nintendo Direct planned in the near future which'll be completely about "third party games". I don't think Nintendo could find a better chance to fix this situation other than the upcoming stream event, and as long as they announce stellar third party titles, everyone will be okay with what happened to Rayman.
I don't think this has anything to do with being jerks as well, it's a business after all and numbers do the talk. God knows what went wrong, but I'm sure that Nintendo will be making up for it.
If it were solely down to them wanting to do unified marketing or mass-production of the Wii U game being to risky with the small install base they could've published it "early" on the eShop
Seriously Ubisoft, I have a hard disk plugged into my Wii in desperate need of filling up. Help!
At least give us release date even if it's a week into march. I've got my crew leveled up just waiting to bust out online.
Ubisoft should still cater to Nintendo after all that.
oh is that why they produce garbage every year?.....who knew.
