When the concept of this little article initially popped into Nathanial Rumphol-Janc's head it was a rather one-sided affair. He wanted to address excuses the industry may likely be rationalizing themselves with in order to not properly show support for the Wii U. However, as he was gathering some information to create this piece he came upon a rather interesting revelation: The Wii U fans need to stop creating excuses as well.
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
common sense ensues
Nintendo forever doomed since the 80's
"We may rage over Rayman Legends, but the actual intent to buy crowd probably doesn't even break the 50,000 mark, which only further proves the point that the games aren't selling."
"Games like Madworld seemed rather brilliant, but it's abysmal sales have lead to it being a one and done game. The fact they didn't try to bring it to other consoles could simply be an indicator that they lost too much money on it to afford such an endeavor"
"In the end folks, lets stop making excuses for why the Wii U should get support. Us just saying we want it isn't going to cut it"
Well said and good read. ;)
It's pretty sad how badly Nintendo has botched their releases in the past 10 or so years. I can't say Sony has done well either, but they seem to be setting up the PS4 with an amazing launch line up, so we'll see what happens there.
I think saying nintendo is doomed or saying they screwed there release up is a little premature. Never count nintendo out as most gamers should know by now. They didn't get where they are makeing misakes since the 80s. A little common sense right?
