Children's Games Deserve Your Attention

Gaming Union: "I was walking through a store that sells video games (you probably know the one) when I happened to overhear a conversation had between an employee and a mother, looking to purchase something for her son. They discussed a few different games, eventually settling on a children's title that was pretty standard for the industry. A platformer, which for the sake of conversation will not be named. When the mother asked how the game was the employee responded that it was ‘alright’."

Anyone calling Rayman Legends a children's game has not been playing since the NES days and is missing out on a great legacy of platformers. Sad when people consider this a child's game.

I think you missed the point of the article entirely.

Games should be enjoyable by all age groups, but at the moment kids have a very limited scope of games that are actually any good that they can enjoy. Games like Rayman Legends are perfect for kids, but equally for adults too, just like games like Sonic and Mario used to be.

SCW19823858d ago

Agreed. And the article was awesome.

igorance="No GUNS ,NO BLOOD, Aint realstic! its a childrens game."

The Rayman games actually get pretty tough in the later levels and boast some of the best platformer design I've seen in ages. "But it's a cartoon, so it's for kids." That logic is just stupid beyond words.

IMO the hardest level in Rayman Legends was the infiltration station invaded
Agree with you. "its cartoony, it for kids"
It really is a game i think people of all ages can enjoy

Pulling my hair out trying to get through that board invaded under 40 sec!

Will There Ever Be A New Rayman Game?

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

Profchaos54d ago

Yeah agree id love a Rayman 2 style 3d platform game over another 2d platformer I know people loved legends but it never gelled with me same as Rayman 1 back in the day on PS it just felt like a average platformer with sonic and Mario offering something better on what was then last gen hardware

Yes..but I am sure it won't be the Rayman game fans want. Not from the company that is Ubisoft today.

mastershredder54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

Ancel is retired from games. His hoodlum/rabbid team are doing their own thing. It would not be the same if Ubisoft did.

Profchaos54d ago

Probably far more profitable to make low effort Rabbids games aimed at kids over a next Rayman

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.

Profchaos54d ago

Sure there will be it'll launch right alongside the next splinter cell

Rayman Legends - 10 Years of Legendary Platforming

Rayman Legends made its debut 10 years ago today, and has been launched on nearly every gaming platform since.

HankHill236d ago

Too bad Ubisoft only cares about live service games now. Maybe one day they'll make a new Rayman game.

Venoxn4g236d ago

Great games.. would be cool to get qn Origins remaster at least..I know that many of the levels are in Legends, but still

Outlawzz236d ago

Loved this game but wish they would create a new Rayman 3d game.
