This thread is for those who are angry by Ubisoft's recent decision to delay Rayman Legends to September under the sole reasoning to launch it concurrently with Xbox 360 and PS3 versions (meaning the game is finished). This is for those who want to tell Ubisoft what they think. I've simply compiled the information here. For those who don't agree that people should voice their opinion, or feel the need to silence others for whatever reason, I ask you to simply leave the thread.

For those who are uninformed, please visit the following topics:

1. Rayman Legends coming to Xbox 360/PS3, all versions releasing in September.

2. the Rayman Legends devs aren't happy with the delay. WiiU version done?

3. Ubisoft promise a Wii U exclusive Rayman Legends demo.

DELAYING OUR GAMEZ.

friskykillface · Feb 9, 2013

I'd just pester them to release it earlier, like in 2 months, I knew it wasn't gonna stay exclusive

Timed exclusive made more sense.

I just want to play it, smh ubisoft

JoshHood · Feb 9, 2013

Ahahahaha.

It's a game. It's still coming out. It's still coming out on the platform you want it on.

JordanLMiller · Feb 9, 2013

You'll get the exclusive demo and you'll like it!

Phoenician_Viking · Feb 9, 2013

Jesus. Just get over it already.

A lot of games get delayed all the time, and people don´t feel "wronged". Obviously this is a special situation, right?

Wronged? Really?

ViewtifulJC · Feb 9, 2013

This is the saddest shit I've read all day

Before you start saying "fanboyism", it is about delaying a (almost?) finished game that was suppose to be in the Wii U launch window, and many got it for that game...

It is not complaining about going multiplat.

vulva · Feb 9, 2013

It's a fucking video game.

Snowden's Secret · Feb 9, 2013

People scoff but this is the only way to let corporations know what's up, ineffective as it usually tends to be.

I don't feel particularly strongly about the issue, but do know Ubi turned this from a Day 1 $60 purchase in February into a post-holiday bargain bin pick up for a lot of consumers, which doesn't seem like a great move.

This isn't about a release date, its a social movement to uphold my basic human rights as a WiiU owner. The corporate imprisonment of Rayman will not be tolerated. #FreeRayman

Why do people who don't care have the need to post?

Spieler Eins · Feb 9, 2013

I don't see them coming out and saying ,,sorry, we gonna release it in february after all''. I've enjoyed the Miiverse posts, but now I'll just wait for the game to hit 20 at the end of the year and then still enjoy it.

I'm really just joking.

It really does suck the way they did it...it would be "understandable" if something fucked up and they needed more time but nope.

olimpia84 · Feb 9, 2013

Why do some people believe fans are sour over this game being ported when in reality is all about the finished game being delayed?

Glorified G · Feb 9, 2013

This is so sad.

SmokeMaxX · Feb 9, 2013

I heard that the WiiU version is going to be completely different from the 360/PS3 version.
WiiU version gets an exclusive Petz mode and will be renamed-

Are you really going to make it a new Bayonetta 2 situation?

Heck, even then people didn't take it this far... they stopped at the death twitters.

Email Nintendo about their artificial Pikmin delay.

jay · Feb 9, 2013

People should also be emailing Nintendo. This delay wouldn't hurt that much if there were a significant number of other games coming out. Nintendo has more control over that than Ubisoft does.

Edit: I see Dave posted right before I did. In contrast to his typical calling out the Nintendo hypocrites schtick, my post is genuine and not a one liner designed to school the fanboys or whatever it is he thinks he is doing.

PhoenixSFT · Feb 9, 2013

This is gummb.

Nestunt · Feb 9, 2013

I am happy because I do not have a Wii U and do not intend to buy one and I really liked Origins

but what they did was playing around with the true fans of the series

Not the same situation tho

And? How is that wronging you when you are going to play it anyway just a little later. Apparently this is a veiled OMG Rayman is not exclusive anymore so i am going to hate Ubisoft for it.

fly high ~ayunite~ · Feb 9, 2013

Nintendo should threaten to take away Ubisoft's license to publish games on Wii U/Wii/3DS if they don't free Rayman by March 1st.

olimpia84 · Feb 9, 2013

Wait, some people believe Nintendo is at fault for this now?

*inserts any type of "I'm out" gif here*

Now that IS sad.

Anyway backing this thread 100%.

Visualante2 · Feb 9, 2013

I'd love to know how many outraged WiiU owners talked shit about Rayman Origin's "shitty platforming" or "sense of movement", compared to their beloved Mario.

L4D2 boycott all over again.

Ardenyal · Feb 9, 2013

They are doing the simultaneous launch so they can maximize marketing effect. Delays happen and it's not even a long one.

jonno394 · Feb 9, 2013

I'm not angry with Ubisoft, but they've lost my custom as the only reason I was going to buy RL was the fact it was during the slow months with no games. I'm sure there are a lot of people who are in the same mindset as me, it was never a "must MUST have" but it was gonna scratch that itch caused by a lack of new games early 2013.

erpg · Feb 9, 2013

But what about important matters, such as whale poaching in Ethiopia.

Sgt.Pepper · Feb 9, 2013

It is not even similar in anyway.

Dave Meltzer said:

I don't know what you mean by this. We barely know about Pikmin's development and Rayman was suppose to be released this month.

WrenchNinja · Feb 9, 2013

I suppose this will lead to a new direction in public relations.

haters in this thread need to chill like they never had a game they wanted get cancelled or delayed for no good reason

marc^o^ · Feb 9, 2013

Thanks for this. Collectively and with relentless actions on Ubisoft channels, we have a chance to make them reconsider.

Same, have ps3 and 360 also.

BY2K · Feb 9, 2013

Malvingt2 said:

Exactly.

The game is still coming to the Wii U. It's not like Ubisoft cancelled that version. (At least I hope they don't, or we'll have another NBA Jam on our hands.)

In fact, you should be happy Ubisoft didn't cancel the Wii U version outright. Yes it's a seven month delay for nothing, but it could be A LOT WORSE.

(Like the fact that the game is being sent to die...)

Phire Phox · Feb 9, 2013

I would say 7 months is a fairly big delay, especially considering the game was launch in less than 3 weeks.

zoukka · Feb 9, 2013

This is good. Nothing but good can come out of this.

To be fair Rayman Origins is a pretty shitty platformer compared to most Mario games and I'm not even an outraged Wii U owner.

Games get delayed all the time for various reasons. Gears of War 3 was also essentially complete, but got pushed back so MS could have a holiday title.

A game that's 100% completed for one platform, likely perfectly fine to release for the original date. Game devs crunched time on in the last month and half, only to be told suddenly "oop, it's delayed now cuz we want it on the other two platforms".

It's not about "wahh they're porting it to the other platforms, i want it nao" it's about "the fucking game is done, release it".

I support the idea behind this thread at least.
