[El Odio]

After reading the concept and watching the trailer I'm sold. Hope it delivers.

 

[Durante]

What's happening to Ubisoft?

It's pretty amazing isn't it?

 

[Tailzo]

Wow ubisoft! These new 2d games are all looking superb!

 

[DrWong]

Looks like they took inspiration from Tardi's (French artist) work :

 

[Jack Cayman]

Again why no Wii U? Anyway the game looks very interesting. At last a game about WW1.

 

[Amir0x]

Damn this looks pretty novel as well. Ubisoft with the fire hits.

 

[Black Republican]

Now Ubi-Soft, use this engine for a new XIII game!

 

[V_Ben]

Now that's unexpected, we could use a World War One game that isn't a lone hero extravaganza.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Jesus Ubisoft.

Goosebumps.

 

[h3ro]

This Rayman engine is amazing.

Ubisoft killing it.

 

[Messofanego]

Now Ubi-Soft, use this engine for a new XIII game!

OH MY GOD YES

 

[RaikuHebi]

The first World War game I will play.

 

[overcast]

That looks absolutely terrific. Thank you Ubisoft for this engine.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

OMG, what are you doing Ubisoft, this isn't like you

Spoiler

day one

 

[Antiwhippy]

I am honestly in love with the tone of the game.

 

[The_Monk]

Thank you for posting fellow GAFfer.

Really interest, I like when they go from a different story or perspective. Can't wait for more info. Already like the art and that piano tune was spot on.

 

[dragonlife]

Wow, this seems like it could be really good. I'm extremely interested in it.

 

[sol_bad]

Visual style screams a bit too "Flash game" to me, but I like the concept.

Not in 1080p on a 54inch screen it doesn't IMO.

 

[def sim]

I was expecting a side scrolling shooter. Wow.

If you are curious, try and listen to the French version of the trailer, the voice-over is amazing.

 

[SpotAnime]

I love the art style and the setting, but they seem totally polar opposites to me. Still very interested, though.

 

[shink]

Art is wonderful. No Vita, so I guess when I get a PS4 remote play it is.

 

[red731]

Interest rising!

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

I read the title as 'Vandal Hearts', fuck

Thought the same, ha!

 

[Killer]

Ubisoft is killing it with this and Child of Light.

anyone know what's the song that plays at the beginning?

 

[NFreak]

Wonder why Ubisoft's not releasing this on Wii U but they're bringing Child of Light to the system. Seems kinda odd. Would they really have much to lose? I can't imagine porting these games would cost too much right?

 

[HassanJamal]

This looks very interesting. On my radar!

 

[Earthpainting]

Again, looks like it could be very interesting. It's weird how I was going to give up on Ubisoft after they became "the Assassin's Creed company". They seem to have found a good balance between AAA blockbusters and smaller, more niche projects.

 

[jcm]

Wow, this looks nice too. Why are they just dropping all of this on a random Tuesday in September?

 

[Sinsem]

Looks like they took inspiration from Tardi's (French artist) work :

My guess would be more Emmanuel Larcenet than Tardi

 

[Tenki]

Is not Wii U confirmed? In the press release it only says "this generation and next" and the video doesn't show console logos. And well, Child of Light it's coming to the system.

Edit: Oh, I see the US video is the only showing logos.

 

[PureGone]

Rayman legends is on Wii U, why not this?

But really looking forward to it Ubisoft digital titles are awesome, Gunslinger and Blood Dragon are amazing.

 

[PureGone]

Wonder why Ubisoft's not releasing this on Wii U but they're bringing Child of Light to the system. Seems kinda odd. Would they really have much to lose? I can't imagine porting these games would cost too much right?

Maybe they are waiting for Rayman Legends and CoL sales to decide weather to do it or not

Yeah, the French voiceover is really good too. Overall the feels with the music... already.

 

[MaxwellParrish]

Not to sure about this one... the concept and the graphic style seems great, but I got no idea how the gameplay works and the animation in the trailer are really a little too much rectricted and have that hideous flash cut out style... Will see...
I don't get the entusiasm that seem to be here for the Rayman engine: while the games look great, it seems to me that this is only 'cause of the art, the engine in itself looks pretty limited...am I wrong?

 

[KingSnake]

It is interesting that they are releasing Child of Light on Wii U and that game has a retail release too while this is digital only. Maybe this is to blame, Wii U owners buy rather retail than DD (understandably, because of the account system set up). Although indies games (and this game is somehow similar in concept to those) do rather well on Wii U according to some of the developers.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Sad about no WiiU version. Would've bought it for that in an instant... oh well, PC it is then.

 

[Canis lupus]

From the big 3 publishers its really only Ubisoft making truly new IP's, and they're not wub wub shooters, its a commendable effort. EA just counts old IP's as new, as long as they're old enough.(couple years)

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Sad about no WiiU version. Would've bought it for that in an instant... oh well, PC it is then.

This.

 

[Asd202]

This game seems heavy.

Wait, Child of Light is retail too? I thought it was digital only.

 

[Midou]

It's nice to see bigger devs embracing the power of smaller and unique projects over AAA appeal. They even seem to be doing a good job of it, it's not just 'hey, let's jump into that indie market blind'.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Wait, Child of Light is retail too? I thought it was digital only.

It is also retail.

 

[Fersis]

Wont buy, the dog is gonna die and i dont wanna cry ;_;

 

[DieH@rd]

I fully recommend to all gaffers to go and watch BBC documentary "The Great War" from 1964. In-depth 26 episode long look at the entire war, fought pretty much because Germany wanted it badly enough.
Ep1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXhiagFG8KE


BBC's next documentary "World at War" which detailed WW2 is even better.

 

[thefil]

:O

I have not been this excited for a game from an AAA dev since... Skyrim? Looks so far up my alley.

[saichi]

Gaffers wait for next nintendo direct before the end of year nintendo will announced so many games .

on 3DS!

 

[StiLt]

This is relevant to my interests. Art style is fantastic.

Surprising work from Ubi. Noice.

 

[Corto]

Hauntingly beautiful. Ubisoft is on fire with these last UbiArt Framework engine announcements.
