Michel Ancel, the creator of Rayman and project lead on the latest title to feature the limbless hero – Rayman Legends, seems to stick out like a sore thumb among his contemporaries in the business of video game development. You only need to observe someone like Cliff Bleszinksi preach about the emotional core of Gears of War to know that, in many ways, it has become an industry that takes itself too seriously. Whilst nobody would discount the game of the year credentials of Bioshock Infinite or The Last of Us, both are enveloped in themes and worlds that nobody would have thought possible in a game 10 years ago, which is why, as good as those games are, Rayman Legends is all the more appealing. Legends, like Origins before it, feels like a throwback, and what a throwback it is.
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
