Previewer Leo Stevenson writes, "When I first saw the trailers for Rayman Legends that came from E3 this year, I was more than a little excited. My memories and experiences with Rayman are limited to his 2D adventures, having missed all of his forays into 3D; I first played Rayman way back when Panasonic’s 3DO had just been released, and more recently I’ve been enthusiastically playing Rayman Origins on the PS Vita. While sometimes dismissed as a Mario or Sonic clone, this does a disservice to Rayman and the series’ creator Michael Ancel. Rayman has always had it’s own distinctive style and flavour and although comparisons to gaming’s most prominent platformers are inevitable, Rayman does more than enough to stand on its own."
A little-known game Puppeteer is on this list for the best PS3 platformers.
Puppeteer is really good. Nobody played it because it came out right before PS4 came out. When I went to pick up Puppeteer from GameStop some people were trading in their old consoles for PS4 preorder.
Ubisoft barely have a leg to stand on lately, so do they need to crack open the vaults and return platforming royalty to glory for some goodwill?
We need Rayman 4, they could make a great platformer game if they wanted. With the open hub levels and the like.
Better than relying on Rabbids and Assassins Creed all the time
Yeah agree id love a Rayman 2 style 3d platform game over another 2d platformer I know people loved legends but it never gelled with me same as Rayman 1 back in the day on PS it just felt like a average platformer with sonic and Mario offering something better on what was then last gen hardware
Yes..but I am sure it won't be the Rayman game fans want. Not from the company that is Ubisoft today.
Ancel is retired from games. His hoodlum/rabbid team are doing their own thing. It would not be the same if Ubisoft did.
Probably far more profitable to make low effort Rabbids games aimed at kids over a next Rayman
Experience points, skill trees to fill up, level gating, endless menial tasks and side quests, constantly scrounging for resources. Always having to upgrade your gear. A.KA. "The Ubisoft effect".
No thanks, don't ruin Rayman's legacy.
A decade on from Rayman Legends' release, it remains a near perfect platformer, so what happened to Rayman? Will we ever see another sequel?
