rayman origins was awesome so thumbs up for a sequel as long as they don't do it like nintendo and half ass it
the weeooo extra looks super gimmicky
-
? Touch screen stuff looks like it could be fun shenanigans and is a free fifth player. You don't have to bitch about everything on the internet.

Touch controls worked fine in the Vita version of Rayman Origins. It doesn't add much to the experience, but for once it didn't feel needlessly tacked on.
-
Touch gimmick aside,the biggest fail is just one tablet.
-
Umm... this looks hella cool.
Weeeoooooooooo redeemed?
It's gonna be on pretty much every platform. This isn't a Weeeooooooooo exclusive.
-
Touch gimmick aside,the biggest fail is just one tablet.
I'm pretty sure the Wii U won't be powerful enough to output four additional 854*480 screens besides the main 720p/1080p one.
-
Wired tablet :rofl :rofl
Were there even wired tablets in the history of tablets?
This is some pre 1994 era of tech.
Think it's just a dev kit controller - the final is wireless, of course. Though I hope there is a cord so you can play if the battery is low.
-
Oh wow, that touch crap looks ... crap. Color me surprised.
-
Dem graphics. :drool
Umm, graphics don't matter!
Really pleasantly surprised it has online. Hopefully NSMB Mii or whatever follows suit.

I don't think power matters much here,4 player split screen is nothing new.I guess it comes to delivering 4 independent low latency streams.
There was some rumor about experimenting with two controllers,so who knows.

These comments are all over my tweet feed - again, these are established -this gen- standards and Nintendo are getting props for it.
We knew these reactions were coming but seeing them just feels almost... surreal. Why are people surprised by what should be stable abilities of a machine in this day and age?
The NFC applications for this thing though is going to be huge with younger gamers and OCD collectofiends like myself. Just need to find the right application which, lets face it, is likely to be things like Pokemon, Pokemon and Pokemon.
I hope that WiiU gets tons of third party ports.Can't wait to see "Nintendo console only" people praising things like Red Dead Redemption,Skyrim,Bioshock,Batman,GTA,Fallout,etc
-
Basically Rayman Origins will be ported to every platform that can run it.

Huh? I'm praising Ubi for it. They were stupid to leave online out of Origins and I don't remember anyone on any other system complaining about Origins' visual either.

Come on, Ubisoft has nothing to do with this. Clealry it's Nintendo pulling the strings here and getting them to do what those layabouts at Sony and MS didn't do for Origins.

So why are you praising the graphics? Did you expect them to look worse on Wii U or something, or do you praise everything?
-

I think they look nice? Jeeze. And yeah, on someone level I am impressed the Wii U can pull it off considering the "leaks" that Wii U is less powerful than PS3 and 360.
-
The graphics look good, that's enough. Calm down.
EDIT: blah
-
there is a wii version of rayman origin,why would the wii u be incapable of running the sequels? ???
-
Still looks nice and there seems to be a lot happening on-screen at any one time, more than I saw in most trailers for Origins.
-

Wouldnt mind a debian package, I want to be rid of windows.
-
Don't forget a .rpm too.
With Steam on Linux it might be possible. :drool

Didn't you hear? Graphics matter now.
Well, until they don't matter again and "good enough" is the new talking point.
And yes, it is a surreal paradgim shift.

For me, the most baffling thing was back in the Café rumors era when details were leaking about what would later be named the Wii U. Details like "HDMI-out" and "1080p capable" would be leaked, and you'd see a string of posts that were just ecstatic about this hot news. It made no sense to me. I think there were a few other details in there somewhere that were clearly in the "you obviously don't follow tech if you thought there was any chance that new hardware wouldn't have this in 2012" class of news that people were virtual high-fiving over.
-
Oh, I derped. For some reason I thought this was Origins. I take it this is the sequel?
-
I still haven't bought a copy of Origins. I feel kind of bad too since the game looks, and supposedly is great. I just never got around to buying it. I guess I might just wait for Ubisoft launch bomba prices for the Vita SKU due to the screen.
-
Yeah, looks that way. Must have been pretty cheap to make, the game sold like incredible shit on every platform.
But that's the thing... it was on every platform. Combine all the sales together and they must look... umm... passable, no?
In any case the engine's already in place, I guess it was easier for Ancel to convince Ubi to do another Rayman than BG&E2.
-

Ubi said Origins' sales exceeded their expectations. So yeah, dirt cheap.
-
I bought Origins for 12 pounds off Zavvi, got it yesterday, played it less than 5 hours but judging by the trophies I'm almost done. That being said it was worth it, the game is fun and offers a lot of re-playability in the shape of secrets and speed runs and such.
-
origins will be $15 on psn for ps+ members starting may 1st
-
Even though i have it on the Vita - i just bought the PS3 version so me and the boy can play it on the big TV... speaking of which :
for me and the boy to play through.
I am sure i am being slow - did i miss some news ? :O
Oscar had a kid, but it's really just a clone.
-

Sweet deal, but I'd like a physical copy.

Stepson.

oh wow, so derp on my part

Rayman Retread :hyper
-
The one tablet + three Wiimotes is going to be a fucking disaster
-

Four Wiimotes apparently.
-
It was awkwardly advertised too, tablet + 4 remotes that is: Guy w/wiimote peeking over his friend, "Oh Cindy, you so crazy."
Other than that, I think it looks pretty sweet. I loved the first, and I hope this one sells better. I might bite on the Wii U version if they sell me on it this E3.
-
that toy scanning thing is some dubious shit. the worst parts of this generation made worse.
-
Amen.
But Kudos for wanting to cash in on the craze, but I can already visualize the horrors Wii U will go through if this thing takes off.
(That's how the kiddie stigma is perpetuated, nintards)
-
Rayman Origins is fantastic, buying it was good for my relationship.
-

I can see that totally crashing unless the toys serve a purpose outside of DLC crap. Ubisoft, Scamco, Activision and Nintendo will probably bring up a whole load of junk early in the platform's life, but at the end of the generation I'd expect only Nintendo to still be doing it.
-
If you want an example of how bad this all gets, look at the e-reader nonsense with Mario 3 GBA. All that new content (something like 30 or 40 levels) for Mario 3 that's basically inaccessible.
-
However, this has a wiff of a Nintendo philosophy of "how do we make a machine that helps us sell <nameofgame>?" and the Wii U is basically geared around selling Pokemon and Pokemon toys. After all the Ninthing moaning about how dev costs are going up, do 3rd party games devs really want to be getting into the Plastic NFC figurine thing?
I'm pretty sure the NFC thing doesn't have anything to do with Pokemon. Anything Nintendo does with a new home console likely has nothing to do with Pokemon.
What likely happened is they saw Skylander's Wii success and did the same thing they did when they saw the uDraw tablet's success: copied it and made it standard on the console for all devs to use without clutting retail shelves with their own peripherals.
-
uDraw was a success?
-
uDraw was a success?
The Wii version was...
-
No way was the tablet inspired by uDraw, I'm sure they had this cooking for a while (as half-baked as it looks).
I don't doubt the NFC thingy was an effort to horn in on the success of Skylanders tho.
I am massively unenthused about all this doll crap. I would have bought Skylanders if not for that - the game was made by the Star Con 2 guys and you can really tell by checking out the way the characters play - but I don't want a pile of plastic shit in my house on top of all the stuff I already have. If it's actually required for gameplay like that Cars thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y3eEtbxprM&feature=related I'll refuse to even think about a purchase.
-
uDraw was a success?
It sold pretty amazingly on Wii. I might be misremembering but THQ was not doing so hot and then after uDraw (and others) they were much better. Then they released uDraw on PS360 and it tanked like an atom bomb and now THQ is pretty much dead.

It probably was but I believe the decision to make it the standard controller was because of their collab/partnership/whatever with THQ on it. I remember Iwata saying they wanted to make some first party games for it and it was awesome. Of course, those first party games probably became Wii U games.
-
I just remember the last bit - it tanking pretty horribly on the HD twins to the point where you couldnt give it away.
-
The NFC applications for this thing though is going to be huge with younger gamers and OCD collectofiends like myself. Just need to find the right application which, lets face it, is likely to be things like Pokemon, Pokemon and Pokemon.
I was thinking how long it would take for Nintendo to catch on once Skylanders exploded.
-
It's just another way the industry thinks they've solved their problems, bleeding the consumers you have left dry.
All I see is a new plastic instrument craze, but this one will last longer since the average price is so low.
-
oh god I just had a vision of a mr potatohead-style plastic mii
-
it's incredibly cheap to mass produce plastic figures nowadays, so get ready for a ton of this kind of shit
-
this toy shit is giving me visions of shelves of dusty figures forever on clearance at toys r us, right between the extreme ghostbusters toys and the beatles figures
Except, sadly they will most likely be popular
-
I do know that if I were a kid (HA HA HA) then I would have fricking flipped over the Skylanders stuff and tried to get them all. I think kids are pretty OCD about that stuff, or at least I was.
Well, still pretty much am. GOTTACATCHEMALL

Bobby Kotick must be grinning from ear to ear right now
-
Some of them will be.
But you can't tell me people are going to clamor to own every stupid little video game accessory and character of every stupid company. I mean, let's look at this game, for example. Are people going to buy the heart thing? Maybe some people will buy Altair/Ezio, I guess. Rabbids? Maybe? Just seems like a recipe for disaster. Marvel and DC have trouble moving toys of anyone other than their top ten guys, but EA's gonna roll in the bank on James Pond?
Yeah I get what you are saying. The Marios will probably fetch some butt high price and you'd have rows of Gex : The Gecko returns shit stinking up shops.
-
Scamco would be distinguished mentally-challenged to not jump on NFC. They're a toy company, lol. But yeah, I see basically every third party who thinks they're cool, and maybe even a bunch of toy companies jumping in creating a glut of crap no one wants.
-
Companies need to be careful and pick their spots though. First one that cracks the girls market wins, everyone else is doomed.
-
They should do MLP to crack the girl and weirdo market
-
I don't think anyone bought MLP last year. Well the toys at least.
-
As someone who looked over Hasbro's financial results last year I can tell you people did indeed buy MLP toys. IIRC it was one of Hasbro's brands that were up year over year.
-
For North America, yes.
-
Playing through this with my nephew on the PC version. I don't know if this game (or Origins before it) are what I would call good technical platformers. And I have the worst time in this game losing my character on screen. But god damn if the game isn't charming as hell and often has you playing and enjoying the experience with a goofy grin on your face.
The Wii U levels though are kind of a pain.
-
Oh hey Takao. Why did that dork run off again?

I guess I'll eat my crow for this. Seems like Pokemon Rumble is the only thing using the Wii U's NFC.
-
Wow I totally forgot about the NFC toy stuff... have they been asked about that?
If its just a plushie heart I ain't interested, difficulty is just right, but if they brought out Rayman and Globox figurines I might just be stupid enough to buy

Turns out that the Vita version is going to be getting the missing Invaded levels via a patch.
