Rayman Origins

[Tmsp95]

I'm talking about that. (Also, did someone notice the lifebar?)

The life bar will be only used for 1-player mode if Im correct.

[...] and the strange thing that replaces the purple Lum in RO. Since there already are 2 articles in this subject (Flying ring and Purple Lum) and the creature which probably isn't a Lum in RO will have to have a different article, I suggest we merge these 2 articles and add the thing from RO.

There also is an article for the flying hooks in Rayman 3. However, those three will not be merged, as they clearly are different objects, even though they serve the same purpose.

I actually think there’s a strong case to be made that flying rings and Purple Lums are indeed the same object rendered under two vastly different art styles.

Yeah, the purple Lums and flying hooks are the spiritual successors of the flying rings. I mean, if they use a watermelon instead of a plum in RO, will it have a separate article? Surely not!

Thanks, but I posted a video with the Teensie using his helicopter a lot more time (0:22)-

I saw the release date is in Novemver, why too late if this game was report 1 year ago?

I guess that the console version will be realesed in November because like I said before, this game would be an episodic one, so when they where saying last year that it would be realesed it was the 1st episode of the game wich would only have like 4/5 stages and then later they would make the other stages for the 2nd episode, but when they made it a full retail game they started creating all the stages, cutscenes and other stuff from like 4 episodes in 1.
The portable version will be realesed next year because it as to be redone in a new game engine to suport 3D and not HD graphics in the case of the 3DS.

It's called a delay.

It happens to games all the time and ***almost*** always for the better ie in this case.

But in this case, it's just an sort of..I don't know *remake* for the 3DS. I'm confused. All those release dates...

To be honest, I can't see why you would buy Origins for 3DS supposing you can buy it for something else. So far I find it to be a game of... average length. This means it's supposed to be played with friends for "pure nonsense fun" (and in case of handheld, it is not that normal), replayed all over again (so far, trailers didn't show level design encouraging this), or just a troll (do not think so).

RO was meant to be episodic, but for some reason they decided to pack, like, 2-4 episodes in one bag. This means release date push, happening once, is fully acceptable.

Hello again, everyone!

[Cairnie]

Hey what happened to your old account?

I don't see what's wrong with playing it on your own on a handheld, or playing it on your own on any console. It might work, it might not, who knows?

I think it's a shame they're doing it a 20 hour game. That's awfully short! Isn't the average about 40 hours? I'd be so happy if they extend it to be like 50 hours even if that means they release it next year.

Hi.
The prupose of the handled consoles is to take them everywhere, Imagine you go i dunno, camping.
You cant take your console with you, it takes to much space, but if you bring your handled that can fit in your pocket you can still enjoy the game without any problem.

Almoust every game are 20/24 hours long, a 50 hours long game would be the most epic game ever o.o

[iambored2006]

Zelda games are 50+ hours and so are self respecting first person shooters. I'm not sure how much R2 is but I think it's well over 20 hours.

[Cairnie]

There was once a point where I could beat Rayman 2, Dreamcast version, in just about 4 and a half hours straight, whether I backtracked or not I can't remember because I was 13 back them haha.

No, the game hours are the "main game", you can easely beat a zelda game in 10 hours or less if you know what to do just like any puzzle game.
Then there is the multiplayer mode, side quests, missions and replay values wich dont take part of the "main game", but if you include that then almoust every game are 40-50 hours lenght.

I took 3-4 years to complete Sonic Heroes at 100% because I never tried to get the Chaos Emeralds to unlock the Final Story, last summer I finally managed to do that with 2 of my friends.

I sort of know that, I have a DS(L). However, a handheld game is (usually) more focused on single player. Why? Because in most cases (not that there aren't exceptions, like Worms or that DSi fighting game) you need extra system for extra player, and this is a barrier (again, there are exceptions - Pokemon in Japan, for instance).
This means multiplayer modes on handheld games usually become less of a feature and more of an extra that is added when it makes sense (e.g. in racing games). Net is slowly changing that, but gameplay of RO seems to be similar to that of NSMBWii at least a bit - and I can perfectly see why they didn't add online to it, half of multiplayer fun comes from doing stuff which would be normally perceived as trolling on the Webz. Moreover, is online going to be featured even in PS360 versions of RO?

The life bar will be only used for 1-player mode if Im correct.

Now that you mention that I believe you're right. In the co-op mode, life points do not exist and each character is instantanly killed at touch. It makes a more fair, fun and challenging game when playing in co-op.

I think it's a shame they're doing it a 20 hour game. That's awfully short! Isn't the average about 40 hours? I'd be so happy if they extend it to be like 50 hours even if that means they release it next year.

The 20 hours must be a default time. It will obviously depend of the skills of every player. Maybe Rayman veteran players with more skills than the average player can finish the game in that ammount of time.

Yes, thats probablly correct.
I dont mind the life bar at all in fact I really like the challanging of trying not to lose life points or game over but when I play with other persons like my little brother or my friends its always good to have those infinite continues since sometimes they arent very good at the game and when they lose they have to whait until I die also or beat the whole stage so they can play again.

[Haruka]

Life points work better than health bars. It reminds me also that games like Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee/Exoddus didn't had life points/bars/limited continues at all and it worked pretty well anyway.

By the way, this is my 10000th post! \ /

[stan423_321]

This community didn't change too much I see.

Whether bard or points work better depends on damage being fixed or not IMHO. Oh, and whether they are done by Backbone Entertainment.

Talking about Rayman DS here. Imagine R2 bars with precision majorly removed and you're at it.

[Tmsp95]

Rayman DS was a bad port in almoust everything, you cant even beat The Tomb of the Ancients because the game breaks at the spider.
