Rayman Legends Interview: PS4/Xbox One Benefits, Optimization, eSRAM Challenges And More

"Whether it’s sunny or raining, you can always count on the limbless wonder Rayman. The unorthodox platforming hero has seen several incarnations, from a classic 2D platformer to a 3D action adventure and even taking a backseat to a breed of Raving Rabbids."

Yep That Esram is too small to output 1080p even more devs are admitting it too

PraxxtorCruel3728d ago

Uhh what?

If anything he says "Both versions run at 60fps in 1080p, so there will be no battle on this side!"

jackanderson19853728d ago

did you read the story? they said they had no issues getting 1080p....

adorie3728d ago (Edited 3728d ago )

Not too small to output 1080 progressive, it just can't handle too many effects while doing so.

This is a good example, broken down so easy for even the most simple minds.

The water represents the amount of graphics data each memory solution can handle at once.

Since one superior to the other, it can be safe to aassume that no matter how many optimizations Microsoft makes to their tools, Sony can move the goal post futher by making their own optimizations.

Microsoft isn't new to PC, or PC gaming(DX), so I asked anyone here, why the heck did they use traditional ram, rather than go with gddr5?

Charybdis3728d ago (Edited 3728d ago )

They used ddr3 because its cheaper and does offer a small advantage with their cloud stuff. They also seemed to realised the problem with esram as they have some research on tiled resources.

In the end probably all about costs as they already incorporated esram on their chip/

b-b-b-but Mister X told me there was 128mb underneath the first layer LOL.

MasterCornholio3728d ago

And Mr.X told me that the Xbox One was powered by unicorns and magical marshmallows.

Mr.X is a pretty funny guy.

adorie3728d ago

Looks like misterx is on N4G too.

B-radical3728d ago

Dafook does that have to do with other devs? And if your reffering to sniper elite devs thats already confirmed for 1080p just the esram needs to be practiced with lol

Edsword3728d ago

It's a side scroller. The game does not push either system. I guess the systems are very close for this type of game because it doesn't push either of them.

brich2333728d ago (Edited 3728d ago )

Thats a bunch of bull that those devs are admitting. They simply haven't learned the architecture yet.

There are currently 6 games running at 1080p on the xbox one, the Racing games and sports games, and Tomb Raider.

With rayman legends they should have not problem to achieve it even on the bone

hollabox3728d ago (Edited 3728d ago )

With last gen running this game in 1080P at 60FPS, I feel Rayman Legends should be offered in 4K resolution since both companies claims their next gen products are 6-8 times more powerful than less gen. With that said why ask such technical questions for a game like this? I can see games like Thief, Titan Fall, or Infamous, but Rayman? This games is a step down from Trine 2, played the demo on the X360 and came away not impressed. Trine 2 on the other especially in 3D on the PS4 was very impressive.

Rayman Legends, hahahahahah.

Don't get me wrong it's an ok game. Something the wii u can handle pretty well.

It isn't pushing nothing.

I wish people would stop waffling on about ESRAM. The GPU is weak sauce and is the reason graphical games are less then 1080p and stuggle with their fps, ryse i'm looking at you, it's also the reason Titanfall uses an old engine to achieve 60fps on xboxone.

Nobody has ever said it can't have decent looking games.

DanDan73728d ago

"I can honestly tell you that I don’t see any differences between one version or the other. Both versions run at 60fps in 1080p, so there will be no battle on this side!" 

Translation: "In order to keep M$ sattisfied we've decided to gimp the PS4 version..."

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

Profchaos61d 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

Terry_B61d ago

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

mastershredder61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

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

Profchaos61d ago

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

Chocoburger61d ago

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.

Profchaos61d 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.

HankHill243d ago

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

Venoxn4g243d 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

Outlawzz243d ago

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