How's the driving?

Good possible news, Rayman fans! http://www.giantbomb.com/news/ubisof...-perhaps/4100/

:

Rayman: Origins seemed a game doomed to fail at retail. No matter how much critics piled praise upon it (this one included), its $60 price tag and amiable, if not flashy gameplay just couldn't find a way to stand out amid the November retail rush. Still, Ubisoft reportedly did make some money on the game, which is great for those hoping Ubisoft might continue the series some day via some manner of sequel.

"Some day" seems perhaps a bit sooner off following this morning's Kotaku report that shows what is purportedly an official marketing survey from Ubisoft-contracted firm Arkenford. The survey images sent Kotaku's way show a few pieces of early art from the supposed sequel, as well as the claim that the new game will feature all of the same basic gameplay tenets of the first (co-op gameplay, a lengthy campaign, etc.) in a world filled with "castles, vampires, ghosts, Greek Gods, or dragons."

As with all marketing surveys, there's a goodly chance that this is all speculative and not terribly accurate, but the specificity of this one coupled with Ubisoft's assertion that Rayman actually was at least a little bit profitable, gives me more hope than usual. Considering how often tremendous disappointment wins out over true happiness in this industry, I am extremely careful about where I lay my hopes and dreams. Don't make me cry, Ubisoft. You wouldn't like me when I cry.

At the same time I'm extremely happy if that is true but then again, I wished that the money would have gone towards Beyond Good & Evil 2's development... Oh well. Here are the pictures of the concept art for Origins 2 I think:

Tired Glutton · #**1204** 04-23-2012, 12:10 PM

I wasn't at all aware of Rayman Origins, as far as I was aware the Rabbids seemed to of taken over, must of missed all the hype on one of my many long trips under a rock or something, the concept art for the sequel looks pretty neat too.

I'm rather looking foward to a game called The Dead Linger, it doesn't have much up other than a video demonstrating night and day and some models to my knowledge to be fair, but the ideas seem like it'd be pretty fun to play with a friend or two.

Some features they seemed keen on highlighting

Manco · #**1205** 04-23-2012, 12:36 PM

Sounds pretty interesting, but I’ll reserve judgement for when gameplay footage shows up.

Crashpunk · #**1206** 04-23-2012, 02:20 PM

I wonder if they will bring back the original Origins storyline for Rayman. I'm still mad to Ubisoft for cutting that.

OANST · #**1207** 04-23-2012, 02:21 PM

Does anyone else find themselves constantly thinking "who the fuck is Manco? Why does this new person seem to know all of us"?

I hate your new name. It's stupid, I hate it, and by tomorrow I won't remember that it's you.

Holy shit I thought Manco was some weird new member.

Hazel-Rah · #**1209** 04-24-2012, 12:25 PM

Rayman Origins 2 is a definite day one purchase just like the first one, hoping "challenge you friends" means online co-op this time.

No new footage here but damn it looks so awesome...

Dynamithix · #**1210** 04-26-2012, 06:29 AM

A new game being developed by a Finnish game company. Everything in the trailer is ingame. That's pretty damn impressive.

Varrok · #**1211** 04-26-2012, 08:31 AM

It's cool because it's pretty

MeechMunchie · #**1212** 04-26-2012, 11:33 AM

I'm sure the three people with computers capable of running it will be delighted.

Phylum · #**1213** 04-26-2012, 05:05 PM

I'd probably be one of those people if I bother buying a graphics card.

That is really pretty. Remember OANST's fanfic? It's as pretty as that was dark.

MeechMunchie · #**1214** 04-27-2012, 12:16 AM

It's pretty fucking pretty.

Like me and MA last night. Deyooo!~

Dynamithix · #**1215** 04-27-2012, 04:44 AM

Looks exactly like Smash Bros but still seems really fun and interesting. I'd love to see Medievil's Sir Dan as a character, he would be perfect for the game. Damn, wouldn't it be cool if they added Stranger to it? I mean, SW HD was just released, would be cool and maybe more people would now know who he is if they played the HD remake. Would be awesome. If I'd have a PS3, I'd get this.

GET HYPED, THIS WAS LEAKED, DAY ONE BUYYYYYYY

Phylum · #**1216** 04-27-2012, 04:57 AM

Looks amazing and that trailer was perfect. I know they can churn out a mean platformer and they don't need to show me. The online is a great new addition and one of my few complaints about the original. Also, the new art style has a bit more depth to it.

I'll see your day-one purchase and raise you a definite pre-order of the most expensive edition available.

Crashpunk · #**1217** 04-27-2012, 09:05 AM

Rayman Legends has made my day. I've been recently playing Origins and I love that game to bits.

The art style looks even more amazing which blows my mind because origin's was just superb and I'm interested to see how the Skylanders styled figures would affect the game and I wonder what other figures could they use? The Rabbids was a pretty obvious choice but I'm glad they are in it. It's about time Rayman met the Rabbids again. And I think we all want to see Attire in Rayman. (Or was it Ezio?)

And finally someone ripped off Super Smash Bros. I've been expecting it for a while ever since SSBB came out and I guess the announcement of a new SSB game was the final decision, but I would of thought it would of been at least a bit original? I mean look at it! It's exactly the same! If they reveal something that is unique to the game and is different to SSB, I'll be happy. I am happy it's not Microsoft making a rip because what character would you use? A guy from CoD? and Master Chief? yeah, how fun is that...

I'm still going to play it. I am a Sony fan after all and I've been meaning to get a PS3 for AGES now.
I hope Ratchet and Jak are in it, I think seeing Ratchet and Jak fight would make fans happy, especially the ones who like to rant about which one is better.

One can only dream for Crash and Spyro...

EDIT: Well apparently that Rayman trailer doesn't represent the final game...fuck.

That doesn't mean it's instantly a bad thing, maybe they'll change the game's graphical style to more like it was in Origins. And maybe those levels were made just for the trailer and they were early concept or something along those lines. I wouldn't take that as a bad thing really.

Crashpunk · #**1219** 04-28-2012, 03:14 AM

The Ratchet & Clank Trilogy: Classics HD is now available for pre-order in the UK. it's out in 3 Weeks!

MS owns the rights to Rare characters...

Crashpunk · #**1221** 04-30-2012, 11:41 AM

Thanks for reminding me of that.

Tired Glutton · #**1222** 04-30-2012, 12:07 PM

Did anyone else think Wall-E when watching the Reset trailer?

MeechMunchie · #**1223** 04-30-2012, 01:18 PM

We are so screwed.

Dynamithix · #**1224** 04-30-2012, 01:20 PM

That's pretty impressive. I like the angel-looking hooded guy that shows up for a second or two, is he an important character in Diablo?

MeechMunchie · #**1225** 04-30-2012, 01:24 PM

He's Tyrael, a rebellious angel who chose to intervene directly in the world of mortals. He's the representative of Heaven in the first two games.

I always liked the way they made his skin black. It's like he's so beautiful he's unseeable to mortals.

You can't see his hands, but whatevs.

OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN

Day one buy for me, no doubt about it. I've been waiting ten fucking years for this, and it shall finally be mine. Oh, yes. Those demons shall be skinned and slaughtered by the truckload by my awesome Barbarian. Yes. This game will be most excellent.

Also, I don't remember Tyrael appearing in Diablo 1. I haven't played that in ages, though, so my memory could be faded. But yeah, he's pretty much ultimate awesome. I want a scene of him going toe-to-toe with Diablo.

MeechMunchie · #**1227** 05-01-2012, 12:22 AM

*Checks* Oh yeah.

Apparently he might have been banished from Heaven for destroying the Worldstone. His wings are just smoking stumps now, you see. Compare.

They did pretty well considering palette limitations.

Varrok · #**1228** 05-01-2012, 01:42 AM

Am I the only one who finds D3 graphically less impresive than D1/D2 despite all the effects and modern...ess?

MeechMunchie · #**1229** 05-01-2012, 10:03 AM

It's worth pointing out that the game itself won't lookanywhere as good as the trailer makes it look.

The first two had that painterly Baldur's Gate look. It's a nice style, but I think it's been pretty much abandoned now.

Dynamithix · #**1230** 05-01-2012, 11:31 AM

More info at E3 apparently.
