Oh, did not know this has co-op. Might have to pick this up now. Hopefully it sells well despite it landing on the same day as Halo:CEA and Saints Row 3.

And Assassin's Creed.

 

[Ken]

And Assassin's Creed.

That's on the 15th too? Wow.

 

[brandonh83]

Buying the game because of the OP. Ubisoft hire this man.

 

[The Hermit]

Such a pretty game..







(are you using comic sans.......?)

as usual perfect first reply

 

[Data West]

And Assassin's Creed.

and Need for Speed

 

[MvmntInGrn]

Day 1 for me. I never get tired of 2D platformers.
EDIT: Oh crap, I thought this was coming out the following week, will have to wait for paycheck to buy (may find another way, time to start number crunching).

 

[ViewtifulJC]

and Need for Speed

and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3

Just not a good date to launch $50 dollar, B-tier(in popularity, compared to a Mario or Sonic), 2d platformers!

 

[Square Triangle]

So excited

 

[Samus4145]

Game looks incredible at 1080p on a 52". That is all.

 

[Princess Skittles]

That's on the 15th too? Wow.

And from the same publisher.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Wow, Ubisoft is sending this game to die if they release it the same day as the other big games, it won't sell well as they (and me too).

But still, it's Rayman! I can't wait for this. I am seriously considering getting this before Skyrim (don't judge me).

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Can't wait to play the demo in 1080p. The game has a beautiful art style.

 

[Silex]

This game looks so.. beautiful. Can't afford it to buy at full price unfortunately...
But those screens look amazing. Can't wait for the demo.

 

[CouchMaster]

PRICE PS3 & 360: $60 ● Wii: $50

Wait, what?

GENRE First-person military shooter

Ah, its ok then.

 

[The Lamp]

Wait so this is a disc release? If it's going to be the full $60/50...Unless that was totally a joke.
Gonna ask for this for Christmas

 

[Boney]

you shall be mine my pretty

It is true damnit.

 

[Befindlichkeit]

I've not played rayman in like 15 years. Seriously considering canceling my pre order for war in the north and picking this up instead.

Oh the nostalgia. I want more nostalgia...

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

No, it's true. Instead of doing the game in episodes like originally planned they delayed it instead and made it into a fully fleshed out game.

 

[iNvid02]

why are they releasing it so it has to compete with juggernauts, its silly

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Ughhhh @ local co-op only. That's enough to make me wait for a price drop, sorry Rayman.

 

[entremet]

Never played any Rayman games. Should I play them before trying this out?

 

[Jb]

Ughhhh @ local co-op only. That's enough to make me wait for a price drop, sorry Rayman.

Gotta agree with you there. I'm hyped for this but for a full price cooperative platformer to lack online play is pretty ridiculous, at least on non-Nintendo consoles.

 

[Princess Skittles]

It must be in Ancel's contract with Ubisoft to always released his stuff the EXACT same week as massive bloated budget blockbusters.

Really any of them are fantastic but you do not NEED to play them in order to understand what is going on. Also local co-op is just fine, if it worked for NSMBWii - not everything needs a multiplayer bullet on the box nowadays to be purchase worthy but I digress..

It helps when you're referring to the HD twins.

 

[Willy Wanka]

This will be my go to game inbetween my mammoth Skyrim and Zelda sessions. 1080p and 60 fps as well? Glorious.

 

[Tizoc]

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Which version of Rayman 1 on PSN do you recommend I get? PAL or US/NTSC?
Sorry for asking such an odd question, but with this baby coming out I feel like replaying the original one lol.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I would like to get this.Not sure if want on the PS3/360 or Wii version though.

 

[wouwie]

Very much looking forward to trying out the demo. If it's as fun as i hope it will be, then day one for me. It's been ages since i wanted a game like this to appear on PS3. It looks stunning. If the visuals are matched with fun gameplay, then it will be a winner in my book and something i'll gladly support with my money.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

1080p/60fps. Nothing more needs to be said.

 

[daffy]

Pardon, the stuff about the three phases :

Does that mean replaying it three times or just three parts to the story ???

 

[Snuggles]

During the second phase, you basically start over but you can do the levels in any order. It's not clear if you have to replay all of the levels, or just a certain amount to unlock the third phase, so we'll have to wait on reviews for more info.

 

[Shiggy]

yeah so it's too bad both will have to wait, but this is the game of the year.

Rayman Origins can wait as that's the first one to see a major price drop

Spoiler

to 20 €

.

I see, thanks.

 

[Dark Octave]

I had no idea this was retail. Way to go Ubisoft.

I played this with my wife and another couple at Comicon and it was a very frantic, frustrating, confusing but visually pleasing, clevery laid out and fun experience.

My only gripe is that I LOVED the slower more moody music themes from the first Rayman and I have yet to hear anything from this one that sounds even close to the same style.

 

[Xater]

Wow this game is coming out at a really bad time. I actually totally forgot this game was coming out. Sadly one of those games that will have to wait to be bought at a low price.

 

[Dynedom]

Local-only coop has killed any interest I had in this game. In no rush to get it now.

 

[Drakken]

Just watched the video of the first 10 minutes. This game is beautiful.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

This game looks amazing!

I do worry that the price point and the release date between other major releases will hurt its sales though. I think it's worth the price but $60 is still a bit much.

Also, I'd love to see Nintendo make a Mario game like this. It' probably won't happen, but maybe they'll see this and try to do something similar for the Wii U.

 

[amrod]

no pc version

 

[Beaulieu]

goty

Like New Super Mario Bros. Wii?

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Like New Super Mario Bros. Wii?

A hand drawn Mario game like Rayman Origins.

 

[SoulClap]

Damn I wish this had online coop. Will be buying regardless. Too damn beautiful to pass up.

 

[SYNTAX182]

So after all this time, we finally get a true HD game P

 

[Snuggles]

planning to make a list of everyone playing this day one

the list will be called "cool people"

 

[Coen]

A hand drawn Mario game like Rayman Origins.

Like Wario Land: The Shake Dimension?

 

[itzknickknac]

PS3 & 360: native 1080p, 60fps
