Wasn't laughing at the poster though but more at the joke still being used to catch people.
And yea if he is banned for real then the joke goes nowhere.

I really should learn. I bought a Wii U for Rayman and Aliens! What a joke.

It has nothing to do with going multiplat and everything to do with delaying a finished game.

This is the internet. There's nary a topic out there that can't generate tons of righteous indignation.
So you're saying Rayman: Legends is doomed no matter what they do?

Nintendo practicaly helped them in leveraging some marketing with demos scattered in multiple shops and a publishing deal.

Didn't Ubisoft release several Wii U trailers for this?
This is a slap in the face for everyone who got excited by their marketing, especially for the early Wii U adopters for whom this game was one of the reasons for buying one in the first place.
Also wow @ the Ubisoft employee in this thread. I would think that Ubisoft has a policy to prevent it's employees from making such statements.

Thats it..I think I will be on Miiverse literally all day today.
I don't know about February but September is sending it out to die so he might be right.

Well they listened to their FANS once maybe they will continue to listen to their FANS LOL
Man, you are really upset huh?
Also, based on the 3rd party game sales on the Wii U, people would have more than likely been able to purchase Rayman Legends at half price two months later if it did remain a Wii U exclusive. Heck, maybe even sooner.

One thing that's important to keep in mind is that Rayman isn't developed with a AAA budget. So when the sales inevitably appear low, it's quite possible that targets are being hit. Many note how poorly Origins sold, but it's my understanding that the game made a profit. It did well enough to greenlight Legends.
Actually, do none of their FANS own 3DS or Vita? Might as well spread the love round completely!
Yep. This is true.

Wow. This is good for me, since I really wanted to play Legends but I don't fancy picking up a Wii U right now. I have to admit though, it is a shame to see a new system losing exclusives. I kind of secretly hope Bayonetta 2 is next, but at the same time it would be a shame for the Wii U to keep losing exclusive titles.

Do you happen to have a link to the quote I missed? I'd like to witness the wonder.

Going into this gen everyone knew the Wii U was going to be treated like a stepchild for 3rd parties both in comparison to the 360/PS3 and 720/PS4. So why is everyone acting surprised that its being treated like a stepchild?

I never knew publishers listened to fans until today lol
so glad Ubi is on our side. Fuck You EA!
delay not multiplatform, people are disappointed not surprised, etc.
There is no PC version.
It will be the best version almost guaranteed but people want something to play now.
That is the problem. I bet many that would have bought it during a drought won't buy it in September when plenty of other bigger games should be getting released
You know, the saddest part of this thread is seeing how lowly some people think of the "new" Rayman franchise before/after the announcement; Origins was easily one of my favorite games from 2011, if not my favorite (I think the only game preventing it from definitely being my GotY is Deus Ex: HR), easily one of the best platformers I've ever played, and I'm talking Yoshi Island good. It really is a game I see aging well in the long run, and becoming a classic down the road (it already is for me and my girlfriend and the friends I also played it with).
It's a shame that the game's reputation is going to be tarnished by a few bad decisions from the higher ups, when you can easily notice from Origins and the demo/videos shown so far how much fun the developers have had working on the franchise. If anything, I wish this announcement had been handled better by Ubisoft if only to protect the franchise, specially since I love platformers and would like to see developers making the same treatment to several of their forgotten characters (Crash, Klonoa, etc... so much potential only Nintendo seems to be exploiting...)

I don't know about everybody else but it's the damn delay that really pissed me off. I had this game preordered for over 6 months and knowing that this game is finished and yet not released sucks really bad.

I may end up not buying the game now because of this. They announced the title as an exclusive and hype it up, only to delay the game again just so they can port it. If they delayed it for other reasons, fair enough, but otherwise I just lost a ton of respect for Ubisoft. Not that there was much to begin with
Pretty much.I never expected Rayman to be a strong seller on Wii U. I doubt it would have sold 200k copies in its first month. Of the two, I would have still gone with a February release because there's less competition. Rayman will get trampled on by the quantity of higher profile third-party games and Nintendo titles in the Fall.

That's not what most people are upset about.

some people are "overreacting" since it was delayed for 7 months (plus it was delayed before that) and that can fly imo.

I'd say a delay like this is pretty unprecedented.
Though I say that and someone will go "No, don't you remember Darkened Sky?!" or something.
Its not coming to the Vita

Rayman Legends was one of the first fully revealed Wii U games, and had exclusive presence at Nintendo's demo stations for months. Now it's a multiplatform game not even releasing until the second wave of Wii U games starts.
There was probably some impotent fist shaking at NoA in the last week.

Maybe they could port it. They should just delay it another couple of months and add in Vita, 3DS, and PC. But by then ps4 and durango would be out. Might as well delay it again. How about Holiday 2014?
Edit: forgot about ipad. Early 2015.

What a mindfuck. More so because the latest Game Informer has a massive preview that totes the fact it's an exclusive and all the reasons why.
axisofweevils
Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
I have to admit, I do find it amusing that Ubisoft announced both a hardcore, mature Zombie survival horror and a cute colourful platformer for Wii U, and it's the latter that will go multiplat.
Yeah, but too bad they can't do anything about it. Ubisoft's controversial decision shows how little it cares in attempt to negotiate.
