Ah ok, i see. Yeah, the story in Rayman Origins doesnt really tell anything about the origin of Rayman indeed. But wasnt the "origin" also ment to be a reference regarding the gameplay style as well? Like going back to the 2D gameplay. I still love the game though

That would make sense if the gameplay or art style was anything like the original Rayman. The fact it's 2D and features Rayman is about the only similarity with the origin-al Rayman. They probably just intended it to be an origin story at first but then changed their minds during development. I don't really see how hit matters to be honest. Who plays Rayman for the story? I've gotta admit I was pretty pissed when Mister Dark wasn't the same as the first game though. Just a random Teensie? What the hell? Shouldn't have even been called Mister Dark.

I'm calling it. Vita version will outsell Wii U.
Still questioning. A Sony employee retweeting the news doesn't make it a confirmation.
The original trailer at E3 2010 tells us that it was originally supposed to be an origin story(and IMO a stronger game) and as for Mister Dark, the lead writer said that we were going to get his origin too but that obviously changed.

Well, Yoshida is talking about it on Twitter now, so...
I guess you don't know who @yosp is?
You think the President of Sony WWS doesn't know whether or not a game is actually coming out on the Vita?
the more platforms that get this game, the better
origins was one of the best co op experience i've ever had
hahaha, oh wow i love gaming side sometimes

Yes it does.
It's not just any employee, it is both the Senior Business Development Manager at SCEE and no less than the president of Sony's Worldwide Studios for Sony Computer Entertainment.

I will most likely buy it for my Vita then. Plateform games are awesome to play on the go.
What's wrong with what I said? lol

Well, true about the 2D part, but both games also have a quite colorful artstyle even if the design itself isnt basically the same. I think that going back to being a 2D platformer again is the biggest thing they wanted to go for though. Yeah, it is possible that they first intended to have a deeper story element to the game, but decided to drop it during developement like you say, indeed.

I fail to see how the trailer indicated it would be a stronger game considering it barely showed gameplay. I remember that trailer well. It was funny. "A thingamajig". But I recall very little gameplay to judge. I was super hyped back then. Prior to that E3 I would watch every Ubisoft conference in the hope and expectation that Rayman 4 would be announced. I cried tears of joy when that day finally came. But yeah, gameplay wise tha trailer showed no indication it was a stronger game than what the finished product ended up as. Funnier maybe though.
That was just my opinion so I could easily be wrong in that regard.
Believe.

Ok I'm gonna remain calm and just respectfully disagree. If anything the difficulty needs to increase imo. Then again I am a bit of a masochist when it comes to 2D platformers. I have this username for a reason...
It's funny that you boycotted an incredible Rayman 2D platformer because it didn't have an origin story.
Head of Worldwide Studios
Why does this seem so hard for you to believe?
BlazBlue is May, last game of the month I think.

I boycotted the game because they scrapped the main reason I was so hyped for it. That being said I'm expecting this new game to be good and I may buy it eventually but I have other games I want to buy first.

Yoshida (@yosp on Twitter) is the president for Sony Worldwide Studios. When he links to a game on a Playstation platform like he did now, its pretty much as good as any confirmation. The press release from Ubisoft is up in the OP by the way.

So, so happy this is finally happening. Loved Origins on Vita, it's absolutely beautiful and a sight to behold on that OLED. Seriously. Legends will be AMAZING on Vita. Definitive version? Definitive version.

Let's talk about Sony hierarchy for their entertainment branch, shall we?
So at the top is the CEO of all of Sony, Kaz Hirai.
1. Corporation CEO
CEO of Sony, Chairman - Kaz Hirai
2. Entertainment Branch CEO
President, Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) - Andrew House
3. Entertainment Branch Subsidiaries CEOs
Jack Tretton (President and CEO, SCEA)
Jim Ryan (President and CEO, SCEE)
Shuhei Yoshida (President, SCE WWS)
^ So "the random employee who tweeted the news" just happens to be the #3. chain of command when it comes to Sony's entertainment division.
He was probably the one who made the decision first place. The guy is a really, really big deal. He is at an immensely high level position at Sony, and anything he says is law.

The main reason you were hyped was the story? How odd. That's like getting a puppy and being excited over the collar you got with it. Boycotting it because of that is like taking the puppy back because the collar isn't the colour you were expecting.
This analogy is flawless. I strongly suggest you don't try to say otherwise. You will only lose.

and exclusive Vita content?
Ubisoft will have my Vita sale

You are one cynical dude. Holy shit. When Sony's #3 RT's it, then it's a pretty safe bet.
Never seen someone brag about exclusive content for a multiplat platformer game, if someone really did, I feel sad haha.

We knew this was coming to Vita. I wonder how they will price it.
Now let's see if Ubisoft is working on a new AC.

Officially interested in this game. Origins was great on the Vita.

Looking forward to it. The DLC costumes have just been straight up weird though. Wii U gets a costume for a vita exclusive character, and vita gets costumes for games not on the system.
