Rayman Legends

[Lochy]

Well, I'm not one to blame. I bought 5 copies of Legends.

You're the true Hero of the Glade.

Wow, people sure do have faith in a new game.

Did you guys hear about the Ubisoft interview where they said that Wii U helped them relaunch Rayman 2D?

[Master]

With the Wii U, we were able to relaunch Rayman 2D. It was a good thing for the company and the brand and its fans.

Yeah...remind me again how annoyed Ninty fans were (and some still are) for their multiplatform delay shenanigans?

If you remember, it was supposed to be Wii U exclusive, but we made it multi-platform when we saw it wasn’t selling fast enough.

And put it against GTA V and other big titles in September in the process. Nice.

The Wii U has done quite well. It’s still a Nintendo machine with lots of great franchises, and we’ve sold lots of copies of Just Dance on it.

Heh.

I'm not really a major Ninty fan, but even so I don't think Ubi's really been all too kind with the Wii U.

[Raymanni]

I find it odd that they didn't acknowledge RO. I don't think that Wii U was that important for the Rayman series.

[Sabertooth]

Uh, any reason they're calling it Rayman 2D instead of its actual name? I could maybe see why if they were talking about Rayman Origins, but...

[Bradandez]

It's the prequel to Rayman 3D.

[MasterHero]

Not sure if this was posted already....

The GDC talks about Origins and Legends are free to watch now.

Is that Begoniax at "18:20" in the first link? Looks like her. Never seen these, thank you.

[Eren]

She indeed looks pretty similar, nice!

[Greeness]

Holy crap that does look like her! someone should really add that bit to her wiki page.

[Dart]

These interviews are super cool, thanks for sharing them!

Also interesting is, that the nymphs do kinda look different in some early pictures. Edith has bones attached to her legs, Holly looks a bit different and Betilla has more jewellery, like around her body. Not sure about the others though, but I once saw Annetta fish with some earrings! I think the nymphs got animated badly in the finished product, because I've seen one old gameplay of Rayman Origins, where Edith up was better animated and every nymph had their own animation after getting saved! Betilla also looked much better in the first trailer, while in the finished produce the nymphs looked too MUCH alike, despite being sisters.

Like any other character in Origins had one.

[sergiomonty]

the saddest thing about the nymphs is that they ended up with no personality.

Nobody had a personality other than the Bubble Dreamer.

[Keane]

Yeah, it's actually the saddest part about the whole game!

[Bradandez]

If character personality is one of your big concerns towards a game designed purely for gameplay, then you're in the wrong.

No I didn't mind it, origins and legends have some of the greatest game design I have ever seen in a 2d platformer.
