... yep, another useless post.

OK, not quite:
How much fun has the game been so far for people who have already played it? Was it worth the wait? I mean, really, really worth the wait?
--> I will experience it as that either way - Ray's my hero and nuffin' can change that, not even wabbits.
Play it in co-op with a friend, that's my advice.
It's the best experience ever, for real. It's fun as f*ck. And don't think I'm saying this randomly, I've tried New Super Mario Bros Wii in co-op with 4 players, and it's kind of awkward and frustating. In Rayman Origins, the fun never stops. Oh, and by the way, the best way to get all of the lums is by competing with your friends for the biggest score. Also, time attack is not a problem with 4 players co-op, obviously you need some more team work, but it works great.

I hope my game arrives tomorrow...

I'm having classes in the morning but I wonder if it is already tomorrow that the box will arrive.

I actually think the Wii version has compression for most of the backgrounds and many sprites so it can run on the Wii smoothly, and because it's 2D art I don't think there is anyway to make it any sharper than whatever resolution they have been dropped to. According to the Dolphin emulator experts at NeoGAF, anyway. They had the shame problem with other 2D games like Wario Land Shake It.

There is, we'll be able to use custom textures from the HD version after I rip them from the PS3 version. :D

Blimey, I would of thought that'd be more complex than swapping textures in a 3D game mind so good luck with that.

Hoping my copy of the game will pop up tomorrow too!

If the prizes are being sent by Royal Mail, and they were shipped last Friday, then I believe that tomorrow it is certain that they'll arrive to the European destinies no? I hope!

Screenshots from the Wii version are definitely welcome on RayWiki, but I'm not sure which resolution to pick. What is the basic resolution used by Dolphin, and up to which resolution can it be upscaled? I'd also like to have a look at the quality of upscaled snapshots before I make up my mind.

Apparently those who pre-ordered from the US amazon website also received the art book. No idea if you would still receive it if you were to buy it now though.

So I was checking some IGN reviews on youtube... I hate those f*cking Ads... but then... OMG, RAYMAN ORIGINS AD, and instantly I smiled :mryellow: If you wanna check the Ad, just go and watch any IGN video, it will appear randomly so you have to check constantly.

That was just posted in the Rayman 3 thread, it doesn't also need to be here.

Yes, well neither does an entire page about face-palming. I was just trying to be helpful and I apologise, I did not know it had already been posted.

There's the native resolution, but the maximum resolution that Dolphin can render is superior to 1080p. What would you prefer?

Are you saying that Dolphin can run at 1440p?
