The Escapist: "Rayman Legends officially debuted at least year's E3 show and has since generated some bad press first with a delay (to allow for simultaneous release on Wii U, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3) and then in response to several efforts made by the developer to appease unhappy fans. Some of these efforts include releasing the ghosts and leaderboard functionality in Online Challenges for free and offering Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia outfits for download with a pre-order."
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
"No, said Morel and Chevallier. The developer deliberately wanted Rayman Legends set to local multiplayer only. Because how else can you really have that borderline sadistic fun of slapping your friends' characters around in levels, between levels, and during soccer unless you're actually sitting next to them in real life? Where you can ALSO slap them."
That really freaking does it. I am so sick of this stupid backwards mentality from both Ubisoft AND Nintendo.
These are systems with online capabilities that are more than capable of using them. MAKE USE OF THEM. Why in the hell are you deliberately omitting options that can benefit the damn game?! Are you freaking serious?!
Local multiplayer is an amazing thing... but for the love all that is sane, that DOES NOT MEAN that online is somehow moot in that regard! There are MANY gamers that are incredibly reliant on online play to connect with their friends. I would always choose local over online but not at the expense of having no online at all! I don't always have the option of playing with friends who are nearby.
It's incredibly frustrating that both Ubisoft and (especially) Nintendo will not get off this damn tangent. GIVE your fans the OPTION of online. The Wii U is MORE than capable of it if the 3DS can do 8 players in Mario Kart 7 with virtually no lag. And since Rayman Legends is multiplatform, there's no goddamn excuse!
I'm guessing I'll be able to play multiplayer through adhoc on the Vita? I hope they don't take it out again for the Vita because that was the only bad thing about Rayman Origins.
