Yup pretty much, did they say the systems though?

See above, no specific platforms announced, but HD-only for the time being.

 

[Lijik]

Im still jizzing over this trailer.
Cant wait

Wow. Just wow. This will look great next to Boy and His Blob on Wii.

Oh man.

That is beautiful.

 

[scarybore]

The trailer put a smile on my face, looks wonderful.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Episodic AND no Wii version because of "artistic vision".

I see it's still about shitting on consumers and pleasing yourselves then. Fuck that shit. The game would still look great in 480i.

They haven't ruled it out, plus the game is probably using vector art (look at the way the enemies animate. It has a very Flash like look) so the file size shouldn't be an issue really.

Then again, this is Ubisoft we're talking about...

[Mithos]

No Beyond Good & Evil 2 really blows, but Rabbids Time Travel and ESPECIALLY redone Rayman help make up for it.

Not really..... :'( :'( :'(

Fixed.

 

[nextgeneration]

Nice. Looking forward to this. Was a big fan of the original, 2d Rayman 1.

 

[farnham]

no wii version ?

oh well im getting it for 360 then

 

[AniHawk]

Too bad. Ubi wisely diverted resources from a sequel to a boring, poorly constructed game in Beyond Good & Evil. And then they put out another installment of even more boring, and hideous looking game in Rayman.

Jason Uresti suffers from a variety of mental and physical handicaps. Poor taste in games, obsessive trolling, and the inability to form solid thoughts or criticisms are just some of the most severe.

It is best to be sympathetic towards these outbursts, lest you confuse the poor beast and cause it to harm itself in its agitated thrashings.

[Souldriver]

Very charming art style. <3

 

[Cerberus]

This game is gorgeous.

 

[harSon]

Is this an actual disk release or an XBLA/PSN/Wiiware game?

 

[JordanLMiller]

I wouldn't say it makes up for BGE2 but it was a pleasant surprise

This.

Love the idiot face Rayman has, its like all goofy and awesome instead of emo fighting to save the world shit.
Its like, ia m here, and im going to have FUN! Just like Mario.
Look Sonic team, this is how you do an origins plataformer and how you bring back a character to its roots.

 

[commissar]

I cannot wait. The examples of different games and styles looked so good too.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Hopefully it comes to PS3, nice to see Rayman in this decade

The dude playing the didgeridoo at 0:40- is that Christophe Heral? Does that mean what I think it means?

 

[Spotless Mind]

Oh my. That is one gorgeous game. :O

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

 

[fernoca]

Well, at least new Rabbids game..this year on Wii.. Loved 'Go Home'.. XD

 

[Wallach]

Really nice looking. I hope that if this does wind up on PC somehow Ubisoft will have abandoned their current DRM. Would love to support efforts like this.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Finally a return to the normal Rayman series? CAN'T WAIT!

 

[HurricaneJesus]

Holy crap. Very interested. Artistically stunning.

 

[kevm3]

This is the first thing that actually made me say 'whoa' at this E3 amidst a flood of FPS and casual garbage. A definitely purchase for me.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

WANT.

 

[Manus]

Game looks stunning. Day one!

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

What a nice little surprise this is! Definitely excited!

 

[JasoNsider]

Ancel is back! Rayman is Back! It looks incredible. God damn, this is an awesome E3 already.

 

[The Technomancer]

Man, I keep watching it, and it keeps getting better. I love how Rayman is animated; he looks like he's just having fun. And that music? Oh god that music. They haven't ruled out Wii yet, which makes me hopeful...

Already ranks up there with A Boy and His Blob and Wario Land: Shake It as one of the most gorgeous platformers I've ever seen.

 

[cooljeanius]

Would be disappointed if there turns out not to be a Wii version.

 

[jamesinclair]

Looks fantastic.

If not on wii, I will kill someone.

Also, BG&E

 

[digita1alchemy]

It looks like a flash game from an animation-standpoint, I wasn't impressed. It'll probably be a fun game though.

 

[Eteric Rice]

If this don't come also for the Wii (which is the best platform for 2D-3D platformers) the guys at Ubisoft are absolutely insane.

This.

Not releasing a platformer on the only console that actually has platformers is pretty weird.

Oh well, I suppose they'll do it eventually. Maybe when all the episodes are released they'll release it in disc form.

Crack kills



As for the Wii thing, not that I'm an expert on such things, but I suspect they'd run into storage space issues on WiiWare, even with downscaled art. I would think there'd be a pretty good chance of a disc release eventually, though.

Not a wise business decision, but I'm glad 2D plartformers are making a comeback. Why download only though? What is it about HD developers that makes them believe 2D games must be relegated to the digital distribution ghetto?

A perception that gamers won't shell out 50-60 bucks for a 2D sidescrolling platformer. Which is probably true
I mean, aside from NSMB of course, how well have any others done?

 

[soultron]

It looks amazing. I only wish it was coming to portables as well. Image this on PSP or iPhone.

Probably going to grab it on 360.

This and Dust were my favourite announcements of the Ubi conference.

 

[Anticitizen One]

edit: HD Trailer is now in OP

 

[farnham]

if i were michael ancel i wouldnt want to develop on the wii though

after what happened with raving rabbinds 1

 

[Fuu]

Omg.

 

[SilverLunar]

OMG RAYMAN!! lots of memories!

Hope it is on Wii or Steam!

 

[rallyart]

It looks amazing ... hopefully come out for PC too

 

[RevoDS]

WTF, no Wii release, how dumb can Ubi be? This game is like tailor-made for the Wii, yet they ignore it entirely? :lol

 

[sixteen-bit]

looks really nice

"Aside from the only AAA 2D platformer, which is on it's way to selling 20 million, how well have any of the others sold?"

I have a red mark on my forehead from slapping it so hard.

 

[iconoclast]

This looked fantastic. Good thing Michel Ancel is still around because that's all Ubi has left apparently

 

[-PXG-]

Wow.
