The Rayman Topic: Last Game - Rayman Legends

[Nix]

I'm seeing some confusion as to whether or not the Wii-U version is delayed.

 

So here'e an article from IGN about it.

 

Ubisoft has announced that Rayman Legends has been delayed and will no longer be a Wii U exclusive. Legends will now hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U in early September, more than six months later than its original release date of February 26th.

 

 “So we thought it was making more sense to also bring the game to where it was originally from. That means Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. So we decided to go for a multiplatform launch simultaneously.”

 

So, yes.  The Wii-U version is delayed.  And that's bullshit.

[Sean]

Oh.

 

 

 

So, Ubisoft for worst company of 2013 then?

[Nix]

Oh.

 

 

 

So, Ubisoft for worst company of 2013 then?

 

I'm still holding out for Sega to do something shit-tastic again, but as it stands.  Yes.

Not surprised that it's going multiplatform now. If I ever get a Wii U it's likely that version will be the one I pick up.

 

I am really irked that it's delayed until practically the end of the year though.

Allow me, guys.

 

 

Not even a month from the release with the game just about ready... I'm not mad that it's multiplatform now, I get it, but how the hell can you possibly reason with fans, who have gotten so eager with Legends once incoming, and delay it altogether!?

 

Not only is it removing its status as a strong 3rd party game for Nintendo (out the window and into a pit of glass and salt), this is a bad, bad move for Ubisoft - it could've gotten plenty of cash out of the Wii U version (seeing that it was dead set for launch this month... how can that be excused!?) and then extra for later versions just as they did with Origins (Steam, Vita, 3DS...) - but releasing all three at the same time towards Q4 when all the big guns usually come out just made the company look pretty awful more than anything.

 

People are fucking pissed... myself included. Way to turn us off, Ubisoft. Way to turn us off.

 

EDIT: That's right - GTAV IS COMING OUT IN SEPTEMBER. Way to shoot yourself in the foot...

You know that moment when you're upset enough that you laugh instead of cry because of how shitty something is?

 

 

Yeah. Fuck you Ubisoft. I don't give a crap that Legends is going multi-platform (still wondering if it's gone to be a watered down version?), but delaying the Wii U version so that they all come out together, that's a pretty bad move. You turned what was supposed to be a huge exclusive into "just another version."

[PSI Wind]

Well, guess it's a good thing I wasn't planning on buying it at launch.

Because I'm never buying it.

Fuck you, Ubisoft.

[Ming Ming Hatsune]

Am I the only one who thinks this is a good thing? Now I don't have to get a Wii U this year, yay!

 

And who knows? This could also be a launch title for PS4!

[Chooch]

This is fucking crazy.

Now I don't have to get a Wii-U ever, yay!

 

No, no, no, turn that mouth away! Unless is another version, no PS4 release ffs!

[Ming Ming Hatsune]

This is fucking crazy.

 

I see how this is crazy if you got the Wii U to buy Rayman Legends, but if you didn't...

 

Actually, after this I don't even need to get a Wii U anymore. O.o

Um... No. In fact, it's bad. Releasing in September pretty much ensures that it'll sent out to die due to other high-profile releases.

 

Delaying the Wii U version was a horrendously terrible idea.

Keep telling yourself that, unless you want another five months to go with that delay because "its for the fans".

Ubisoft are going to lose so much fucking money off of this its unfathomable, and well deserved.

I didn't buy a Wii U for Legends, but seriously, I'd be okay with the game just being a timed exclusive! Really, I would! Now it's just the same game coming out at the same time with some extra bells and whistles!

 

This is nucking futs, girl. You can't really deny it.

"Now I won't have to get a Wii U to buy this game!"

 

Missing the point. This game was supposed to come out in less than a month, and now it's being sent out to die in September. There's absolutely no reason for this delay to apply to the Wii U version.

[Teoskaven]

I'm indifferent about this, but i hope it will be inspiring for making even Bayonetta 2 multi.

 

Yeah, let me dream :I

For people who are saying it's a good thing, say that when an exclusive for the PS3  or 360  is delayed and goes multi-platform. Suddenly it'll become serious business.

This happened with Final Fantasy XIII and Tekken 6.

 

I wasn't anywhere near this upset.

[Ming Ming Hatsune]

Oh.My.Gosh. Calm down people! =/

 

Sent out to die in September? Not everyone is in to GTA V and Rayman fans (or fans of the game) will still buy it regardless.

[TrueBlue]

The loss of exclusivity is not, nor should it be, the main issue. Let's face it, Ubisoft would have likely ported this game eventually, it was just a matter of time. I'm more annoyed that the every version of the game has been pushed back, when it's almost certain that the Wii U version is done.

You severely underestimate how fucked this game is far as sales prospects are concerned, with its new release date. Trust me.

 

Releasing the Wii U version in a month would've ensured far, far more sales. Ubisoft are instead sending it out to die, no question.

Uh... I don't know what to think.

Personally now I don't have to purchase a Wii U for not-too-economic-price of $700. Which means that now I will be able to buy/play Rayman Legends after all. But people who bought a Wii U just for Rayman Legends, this was a pretty dick move from Ubisoft. But I understand why they did it.

Honestly though, dick move and watnot but Ubisoft can't make everyone happy. I understand how Wii U owners feel about this but I'm so split thinking if I should be glad that it's coming out for 360 or sad for the Wii U owners who were expecting the game...

I'm not that over dramatic, so I don't really care, as long as it's still coming for the system I own

[The Kid]

Tekken 6 and Final Fantasy Xlll combined aren't anywhere near as important as Rayman Legends.

[Chooch]

How are they not?
