Rayman Origins

[iambored2006]

It’s kind of weird to think that Moody Clouds is the last level before the Land of the Dead, considering how early they revealed it. I guess that the environment immediately before Moody Clouds is some sort of non-cloudy steampunk level? Does this mean Picture City is definitely out? Ancel never said it was a full world – maybe it’s just a level in one of the other environments, or even some sort of bonus level?

Actually, it was mentioned as a world in the last NP magazine.


Now, when you say the french surrendered, do you mean in WWII?

Damn it! What does HD have to do with it? The Nintendo Wii is still sold daily, has become a huge success, and so many play it.

Its popularity does not make it a superior product.

Did I say it was 'Superior'? Plus, that still does not explain the lack of the C.E.

Now can we all agree to stop lashing out bitterly at products we can’t afford? HD is a massive upgrade from SD. If SD is good enough for you, that’s cool with me, but you can stop harping on about how pointless and shallow and snobbish you apparently perceive HD entertainment to be.

I could easily afford a PS3 or XBox, but the game collection isn't much of my style, though the XBox might be a consideration. I have nothing against HD, but why is it of such importance? Why do always have to be notified by it? Why is YouTube loaded with comments worshiping it? It isn't anything new or special. HD is fine, and my Blu-Ray was worth its money.

Xbox's gaming catalogue does not please me, while the PS3 in the other hand has been getting a more interesting catalogue. I think it is now a good oportunity to get the console since a price cut was done and RO is not far from being released. I also read that only in the first week of the recent price cut of the console, it was registed a growth of 17% in the sellings of the PS3 in the United Kingdom. 249,99€ is a much more tempting price, let's say.

Did I say it was 'Superior'?

I meant that citing sales statistics is absolutely pointless in any discussion of a product’s quality. Transformers made lots of money too.

Plus, that still does not explain the lack of the C.E.

Ubisoft have obviously decided that a Wii CE would not be profitable, and they’re probably correct. You’ll just have to deal with that.

I could easily afford a PS3 or XBox, but the game collection isn't much of my style, though the XBox might be a consideration.

The selection of games available on these systems is a separate issue. As I said, your standards are not as high as mine.

I have nothing against HD, but why is it of such importance?

Because it hugely improves the aesthetic qualities of practically any audiovisual entertainment product.

Why do always have to be notified by it?

Because it’s a major selling point. It would be very stupid for the marketing department of the companies involved not to mention it.

Why is YouTube loaded with comments worshiping it?

YouTube is loaded with idiots espousing every viewpoint imaginable. There are as many comments bashing HD as there are praising it. ‘Lots of people on YouTube worship X’ is not a valid argument against X.

It isn't anything new or special.

No, PC games have been able to run in far higher resolution for a very long time. Nonetheless HD is a large step forward for home consoles. As I’ve said, I really don’t care if a subset of people find some esoteric reason to bury their heads in the sand and pretend that video resolution is a non-issue. Just don’t bash HD.

HD is fine, and my Blu-Ray was worth its money.

I’m glad to hear you think so.

Well, like Spiral said, for some, HD is a relatively large factor of importance. I am part of "some." Pourquoi? The same reason why gameplay is primarily important to you. I'm not saying HD is close to my primary factor, but it does feed my role. Then again, since I'm a PC user almost exclusively, I've never run into the HD dilemma.

Mr. Polite Quotes attacks again. Face it, spiraldoor, you lost this time, you're just searching for excuses to complain about anything. Also, many of your points are wrong, wii is by sales much bigger than xbox 360 and ps3, it's popularity is, believe it or not, BIG. You're just taking care about people that have experience in the gaming thing, the "hardcore" people, who we all know they hate wii because it's gay and sd. (this part is for you too, iambored, wii is not a "failure")

Spiral, most of your predictions are usually wrong, you usually officialize things that aren't happening because you think they're "obvious". Don't make me remember you the "different teensy costumes per console version" prediction, which for you was VERY OBVIOUS, but guess what, you were wrong. Stop talking for ubisoft, they didn't say anything official to you, so the C.E will keep as a mystery for all of us. Period.

P.D: I'm not against the factor of the HD being better than SD. HD is great but..heh, I have a Wii, and I can't do anything about that but appreciate what I have.

Stop being a jerk to spiral.

I feel like there's another Deja-Vu coming throught. (And I'm not only quoting Globox in Rayman 3)

I had to laugh.

lol, sorry guys, I had to do it. You know...for the lulz Now....here comes the walltext!!

[Haruka]

I start to feel annoyed again of this situation keep appearing. So baaaaad I'm not a moderator.

[Cairnie]

The wii did sell too well back in like 2007/8 but I doubt it'll keep going for much longer when the Wii-u comes out.

Well I'm back on a proper computer now and I must say we very much enjoyed our time at Eurogamer. The build that was there turned out to be the E3 build, as it crashed a few times and I saw the debug filename oops cheeky me. And what I meant by the MCM expo confirmation, is that there'll be a setup for 4 players so that will be quite interesting!

Actually, Sergio has a good point.

And what's the good point? Tell me.

True, especially when the European Nintendo decides to release the useless redesign of Wii. What a waste of money.

._. Well, you know, I think that in every forum, every comment is important. It's kinda annoying how spiraldoor isn't supposed to discuss, but say "your comment is irrelevant." It feels like "your comments are useless, mine are better", do you understand me, Haruka? so please don't go against me

[Keane]

I think 95% of the forum is deeply annoyed by you, considering the fact that the typical ''Spiraldoor is right, you know?'' thing pops up. Gee, does he never get tired of making walls of text in which he disagrees on every word you write?

Of course the Wii was a failure. Not economically, sure, but the fact is, there aren't any really good games on it. Maybe a few. The Wii is a childish console. I remember my brother telling me this when I was younger and he bought an XBox, and I always said he's wrong and that the Wii is great. I finally understand him.
The Wii's motion controls, however fun they might be for a while in a well designed game, are very gimmicky, just like the Kinect and the PS Move. Gamers just can't play hardcore on the Wii. I also believe that the Wii-U's gonna be a failure, but that's just a matter of opinion.

Can you provide proof that spiral supported the preposterous theory of the Teensies? It seems really strange to me that he would say such a thing. In fact, I seem to remember you as the one suggesting it! (that may be wrong, though... )

I think Spiral already got clear before saying it isn't his intention to self-proclamate as the "Mr. Right". I know his way of writing does make it sound like that, but if he previously manifestated peacefully that it isn't to provoke anyone, then I believe no one should complain a lot. Just try to control yourself, it is what I'm asking. Please.

Everyone at the forum has the right to write their opinions regardless the size of the texts. I believe!

[sergiomonty]

Well iambored, call me childish, because I enjoy my wii XD. Yeah, maybe wii is a console for kids, but hey, you're talking to a guy who watches My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and draws cartoons during classes... as a 19 years old.

Wii is a failure, at least in your point of view. There's no official way to know if it is or not a failure right now, it might take years after the discontinuation of the console to know that, so now, the only way to know if wii is a success right now is checking how it is working economically, and that's what I did.

To haruka, ok, I didn't know that about spiraldoor, but if he wants to show that he's not "Mr. Right", he has to learn how to communicate that by himself, not with your help.

[Cairnie]

Most of the people that bought it in this country were old people that were in it just for wii sports, what are you guys talking about?
