gamrReview's Brent Galietti: "Platformers hold a special place in many of our hearts. Games like Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in particular sculpted my own interest in, and passion for, video games at a young age. Many gamers who grew up in the 80s and 90s have a platformer or two on their favorite game lists. If you're one such person then it should have warmed my heart to see platformers having a banner year in 2013. Games from developers both big and small released platformers that entertained, tested, and moved the hearts of all who played, but we could only give the Best Platformer award to one game. Which was it?"
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
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.
Ancel is retired from games. His hoodlum/rabbid team are doing their own thing. It would not be the same if Ubisoft did.
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.
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
And like it's mentioned in the comments, it's incredible that no game sold very good, aside from Super Mario 3D World, and yet people still like to buy Call of Duty games. Come on...
I like the platform games and it's a pity that we see less 3D platform nowdays. I remember the N64/PS1 era with many many games of that category to play....Mario, Spyro, Crash, Banjo, Conker, Rayman etc.
I like 2D platform too but those are games with few hours of gameplay....
