A TURN AROUND OF IDEAS TO RIVAL MARIO GALAXY?? NOT!! Boy what a suck up!! the game is okay, i have played all the down loadable demos, and all the demos at bestbuy, It's a very good game, but MARIO GALAXY?? HELL NO!!! Super mario bros. U, yes, I agree with that... Boy ubisoft are we getting scared? Mario 3d, Donkey kong tropical freeze and Sonic's lost world are coming, and I think I know which one wii u fans are going to buy... Don't pay off some critic to overblow your game, but hey man, don't worry, Me and the other wii u fans will buy it by the tons, when it comes to the 19.99 bin at bestbuy, just not now, not with mario and donkey kong and sonic coming out... 60 bucks for this game? HELL NO!! but mark that sucker down to 20 bucks and it's mine!! You should not have delayed the game, that was your fault, so don't blame nintendo fans this fall when they will be buying mario, DK, and sonic!!

RyanShutup4649d ago (Edited 4649d ago )

Gonna have to agree with sir Thomas here... although slightly less angrily. I was planning on getting this day one when there was nothing to play on wiiU, but now it's releasing near the busiest time of the gaming year and I have about 5 wiiU games to pick up ahead of this as well as 3-4 ps360 games... aaaaaand a new console in November.

Sorry Ubisoft, you had the sale back in March... too late now for a day one purchase... I'll pick it up down the line at some point I'm sure looks great.

MartinB1054649d ago

Speak for yourself. I'm buying Raymand Legends day one for the Wii U and later on the PS3 for the trophies (and also the Vita if it doesn't share trophies with the PS3 version). Rayman Origins was simply the best 2D platformer I've ever played and I'm going to get the most out of Legends.

And yes, I'm also buying Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Sonic: Lost World. They all look like great games that will be worth playing.

N4g_null4649d ago

Id rather buy a tesla card than get this game day one. Ubisoft just hasnt made that big of a commitment to the wiiu unlike platinum games. I was pumped to get it earlier but after seeing sonic and w101 along with the jan 2013 releases I dont really see my self playing this game much now.

I understand the contracts that caused this to happen, I think every one has that over their head now. Yet I haven't touched your demo in months now. I would rather play ghouls and ghost right now or duck tales oooh oh.

The game play may need tweaking.... I beat the demo pretty handly and still have 17 play thurs left I believe. I expect more of a struggle out of trying to master a 2d game.

easier than galaxy? No thanks... get a patch ready quickly I will not pay for a hide an seek game unless its going to be taxing. Too much good art in this game to not have a good single player experience. This is such a wasted opportunity.

not quite a single player game any more huh?

Ubisoft please understand we just bought the first kid icuras, we are waiting on mario kart 8 that punishes you for winning lol. A good sonic 3d game you should be showing screens of your next rayman by now!

oh well I guess ill get this game once the second software drought hits. They should just delay it again and keep building on to it. I hope they realize they are up again mario games that are not graphical show cases right now.

maybe ill change my mind but only after some time I believe. Im more excited about knack than this and I dont even really like knack. I did like ray man though.... oh well.

Dunban674648d ago

Ubisoft has supported the Wi U more than any other developer so far including NINTENDO!

I am sure Nintendo could have cut a deal w Ubisoft to keep the original release date but they were not willing to do it- why would anyone blame Ubisoft for making a sound and reasonable decision to delay Rayman when they had all the sales data they needed re the Wii U and software sales to make a god decision?

Do people think Ubisoft should have just committed financial suicide by releasing Rayman into an unwinnable situation?

N4g_null4648d ago

The current situation is the unwinnable one. Unless you are claiming sony or ms money hatted them. Rayman had a chance to move consoles and shine. This was a political move against the producer so this game would not out shine asscreed or zombi u. Remember he made raving rabbits and was promised he could make another ray man.

its clear ubi doesn't believe in this game. It will sell like other cash in games and be in the bargain bin. Zombie u really does need a better fighting system also. I would have rather seen red steel 3.

skyrimer4649d ago

there goes Mario with a pitchfork and a torch

Rockets124649d ago

You see that's the problem I have with Nintendo. I love it's games like Mario, pokemon, Zelda, DK games, etc but I have played it so many times that I just don't see a need in buying anymore. I have bought Mario games on the Famicom, N64, GBC, GBA, DS, GameCube, and Wii and well there isn't really a difference in any of them. People will continue to buy it because it's Mario, but come on, i have basically played the same game with new items for decades now. I play my gba, N64, and GameCube games more than my wii or Ds games. (not really a reply to you, but just like you loving your Nintendo I wanted to rant about nintendo as well)

solboogie4648d ago

Tell'em why U mad Haha! I also have not forgotten that lil stunt you pulled on WiiU owners Ubi. Im not the average American who cant remember what happened yesterday. Actually I cant stand deceivers you will end up regretting treating us like step children! Yeah I want the game but I will either purchase it used or after a price drop. F U Ubi put a quarter in ya'ass cuz ya played Urself!

Just finished playing Origins, cannot wait to get my hands on this game. It's just so damned charming.

SpiralTear4649d ago

It's hard to believe that this game is finally coming out. One of my most anticipated Wii U games since the launch and from what the review says, it's worth the wait.

Kinda bummed by the reported lower difficulty, though. I thought Origins' main levels' difficulty was right where it needed to be: tough, but with good flow and amazing reward.

FlyingFoxy4649d ago

Disappointing if they have lowered the difficulty to mario standards.

Neonridr4649d ago

100% Galaxy was no easy feat. Then completing the game on the 2nd go around as Luigi was even harder.

Donnieboi4649d ago

Galaxy 2 was actually pretty challenging.

Godlovesgamers4649d ago

I couldn't agree more. For whatever reason I find Rayman Origins to be a much more enjoyable experience on the Vita than the PS3.

Misaka_x_Touma4649d ago

Wii U version review heh but it near Sonic, Donkey Kong and Mario so you going to be hold off Rayman.

Little Big Planet, lol. No.

paddy95446d ago

LBP3 and rayman legends are the best here.

jznrpg445d ago

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.

Will There Ever Be A New Rayman Game?

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

Profchaos806d ago

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

Terry_B807d ago

Yes..but I am sure it won't be the Rayman game fans want. Not from the company that is Ubisoft today.

mastershredder807d ago (Edited 807d ago )

Ancel is retired from games. His hoodlum/rabbid team are doing their own thing. It would not be the same if Ubisoft did.

Profchaos806d ago

Probably far more profitable to make low effort Rabbids games aimed at kids over a next Rayman

Chocoburger807d ago

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.

Profchaos806d ago

Sure there will be it'll launch right alongside the next splinter cell
