Rayman Legends |OT| "It's a bit like a porno" (Michel Ancel) WiiU/360/PS3/Vita/PC
- Thread starter Micerider
- Start date
At PAX Aus I played a level where the person with the gamepad controlled a spotlight, and everyone else had to stay within it (or something like that).
It was super original in execution and everyone had fun. Was playing with a friend and two strangers and by the end of the demo we were all cooperating and laughing and such. Really made me look forward to the game.

Dammit, Steam version is unlocking on 3rd of September.
Still have to wait one week

You've played it through already?
Can you give any sort of estimate as to how many Murfy levels are in the game?
Review reports have been conflicting about that...as expected.

I have a question. Can I play this on Wii U with 3 other players using the gamepad and 3 wiimotes? Or do I need to get more Wii U Pro Controllers?

You can use Wii remotes. Sprint's mapped to the trigger though which can be a bit of a pain holding it sideways. EDIT - You can use nunchuk style too, FYI.

Many European/Asian regions get unlocked on the 29th. That's the UK's store page for example. There's probably an easy way to bypass the NA release date (A secure VPN, or a forced install might do the trick).

Interesting, I'll check the VPN thing. Thanks.

Oops, I meant to say that I played through the PS3 demo. Sorry about that!

You and OP both forgot the mention the exclusive Wii U level "The Deadly Lights".=============

=============
WII U
+ Lead version. The main gimmick was designed with the Pad in mind.
+ The only version that allows 5 people to play at the same time (one of them has to be Murfy).
+ Includes exclusive (duh) Luigi and Mario costumes. Also exclusive is this Funky Ray skin, but only for people who download the Challenge App before August 28.
+ 1080p/60fps.
- Seemingly the most expensive version, at least in some places.
- Missing 5 levels exclusive to the Vita version.
- AI-controlled character during the Murfy sections in single-player.
- Depending on sales, competition in challenges could dry up pretty soon. Although this wasn't the case for the Challenge App.

Goty!! Man, can't wait!!!
Yep - these were great, but I'm sure the new stuff will make up for it. Can't wait to rock PoP Rayman on the OLED!

Nothing yet. So far only European PS Store and some European retailers have changed their date. Nothing about the North America date changing yet other than an incorrect date from a listing on IGN. Also, some North American reviewers already have review copies of the Vita version so *shrug*. I think (and hope) NA is safe on this one.
As long as you have the same payment it will.
I had to change my CC today to ensure it still came.

Where can I get it for TF2 keys, and how many keys do people want in exchange for Legends? I presume they got Steam versions/gifts of the game? And if they do, does that come with free Origins?
Btw, GreenManGaming has the game for 40$, but with their 20% off coupon, you can get it for 32$ (Uplay version + Origins on their Capsule thingie). I'd go with that, but I'd rather get it on Steam.

I played a bit of the Demo for the WiiU (It was in a shop) and the PS3. I liked the PS3 more. You NEED a second player for the WiiU edition (If you control Morphy a Bot will play Rayman). On the PS360 you can play the Game alone. And on the Other hand... using the Wiimotes for Rayman Legends with the same controls as Origins was the worst Idea ever. Press B to run. Your hand will ache after 2 hours of constantly pressing B.
If you have 2 Friends who are interested in completing the Game. Take the WiiU Version.
If you want to play alone or just with one friend. Take the PS360 or Vita version.

Which version to get? WiiU or PSVita?
EDIT: I am a bit of a trophy whore, normally not collecting them all, but I generally prefer the Vita version for having this (damn you Nintendo!!). For WiiU it is the gorgeous graphics with 1080p/60 and the fact that it originally was a WiiU exclusive and my mind kinda still binds it to the WiiU.

will get on wii u this Friday
Reposting my first impressions from the Review Thread:
Played co-op for 3 hours. This game is very good. Much better than Origins. Better controls, graphics, level design, variety, ideas and music. Some of the levels with one playing as Murphy and the other one with a normal character are almost as good as Portal 2 co-op. So far there's not a single level I didn't like.
I'm a bit afraid the "story" mode might be short. If you remove Origins levels and the Invaded ones, there's only 60 unique stages apparently. After 3 hours I'm 3 levels short of the end of World 4, but it's in co-op where you rarely restart at a checkpoint. NSMBU or 3D Land are not the longest platformers if you go straight to the end so I guess it's okay for Legends as well.

It's already out early somewhere in europe. Bought yesterday the superior Wii U version.
I had a blast. Really, fantastic game, it deserves all the positive reviews around. The pad sections are funny. The off-tv mode is a plus. Graphics and music top notch.
WhatCulture review is big. Seems they also liked Wii U's version the most.

Getting the Wii U version because I feel bad for Nintendo getting the shaft on the release.
Also getting Vita for portable option.
Will get Steam version eventually during some sale for $7.50.

Well I hope it stays that way!
All I know is the European Playstation Store now says Sept 13th.
1/ There's a LOT of touch based levels, so it's kind of stupid to get the PC360 one.
2/Tthis game is mostly based on co-op, why get the Vita copy if you can't play it with friends.
3/ WiiU retail is at 49.
The game is very enjoyable, plenty of content.
The main hub is quite annoying, a bit confusing, a real map would have been more sexy.
There's no story, not a lot of cinematics.
"invasion" levels are more than just a time attack, its an entire new course each time.
Origins level have been very well remade.
If you don't know if you should play this or W101... Go for W101.
Legends is a very good game, but W101 is way more unique and you really need to play it !
