Skyrim? MW3? Ass Creed? BITCH FUCK THEM GAEMZ. RAYMAN IS GOTY, NAH FUCK IT, GOTF-GAME OF THE FOREVER.
Why would anyone complain about paying full price for a 2d platformer? I didn't realize certain genres couldn't be full price games. If the content is worth the price, that's all that should matter. Just ridiculous.
Well, when I can get shadow complex (one of the greatest 2D games ever) for $15 at launch, its hard to justify $60 for this. I bet this one will be highly discounted in a month. Tops.
The title of this article is downright insulting! You're implying that I don't have the game on pre-order! You cad!
I truly don't get why many believe they are entitled to platformers at a cheaper price. If the quality is good enough, then you will definitely meet your money's worth (looking at NSMBW, DKCR, and the Galaxy games as great examples).
Couple questions: One, I have never played a Rayman game before, so is this a good place to start? Or should I try another first? Also, what are the features of the 3DS and Wii versions?

@Karutomaru:
So one of the few quality, fun-looking and most importantly Non-DRM games Ubisoft puts out and you hate it just because of Ubi's other crap games? One of the few games that if sold well could encourage them to make more fun games and not crap?
Whatever. You seem no better than Sofik or JimmyX to me now. No wonder no one hardly pays attention to your blogs or comments. You'd be better served on GoNintendo.

always was a fan of the first two rayman games even liked the 3th one so I will most likely like this one. Yes I know this is back to the 2d of the first one but like I said I liked the first one.
@Wally - I'm not familiar with those versions, but the art direction is definitely one of the more impressive aspects here, so playing in HD would be what I'd recommend if you have a choice.
Origins is as good of a place as any to start. Otherwise, check out the first Rayman. There are some fun throwbacks to it.

I know I'll be buying this next week for sure. It just saddens me that not many others are likely to do the same.
I think it looks pretty jizz-worthy, myself.
@JQM78
So, I would imagine that you didn't get Donkey Kong Country Return, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, or either of the Kirby Wii games? Never mind the genre, type of gameplay, length, replayability or overall quality, if a 2D game isn't sold at no more than $15, screw it? Am I reading you right? Because that sounds like a pretty narrow way of thinking, if you ask me.
@Karutomaru
Dude, Karu, take a seat over here.
Look, I know you seem to have an issue with some of Ubisoft's practices. Personally, I've seen them as being a little more clueless rather than evil, but that's just me. But does Rayman Origins actually have anything that you would have a problem with? Or are you just doing this out of spite? Wouldn't it make more sense to support Origins if that's the case and encourage them eliminating those practices?
Just my two cents.

Im gonna grab this along with Sonic Generations in about a month when its dropped to £25-£30. But its solely for monetary reasons as never buy at full price. It isnt due to some retarded concept that all 2D/ 2.5D belong as cheap XBLA titles.
There is such a thing a paying extra for a quality game which the higher pricepoint helps fund this. It isnt as if niche boxed titles will stay at full price for long so they can pay the same as a 1200msp game.
Folk moaning about this crap is probably why MS is pulling the plug on region free JPN boxed titles like shmups (under defeat hd)

Haven't been paying much attention to this, but I love the art style. Very crisp and clear, just like I'm watching a cartoon.
With so many big games out lately, I hope people still buy this. I can't wait. Which sucks, because as an Australian, I have to.
Master Snake: Karu hates every 3rd party developer because they dont make games for the Wii
In short: he's a nintendo fanboy

I love Rayman! I can't wait to buy this! Ubisoft makes so many great games! Thanks for the article Jordan.
I'm a Nintendo fan-man and I have no beef with 3rd parties. The majority of wii games I own are 3rd party. No more heroes, klonoa, madworld, silent hill, ect. Ubisoft supported the wii big time during the past 5 years. Far Cry for the wii was the only real turd I bought from them. The wii version of rayman does look promising. My only concern is with the 3ds version, it hasn't been seen anywhere
Wait, does that mean ubisoft is releasing this on the same day they put out AssRev? Are they trying to send this out to die? Both are on my radar, but I'm poor.
Nintendo has proven time and again that full-priced 2D platformers of high quality can and will sell. If Rayman Origins is as good as everyone seems to be claiming, I'm sure it'll do alright. Ubisoft ought to give it a bit of a marketing push, though. I haven't seen a single ad.
Man, what can I do? I'm not rich, I'm already going over budget by buying 3 new games this month. November armageddon is making a lot of victims, simple as that.
Just try to picture Catherine getting released in november. No way it would worked like it did.

The only thing that worries me about this game is the fact that it will come out the same day as Assassin's Creed. And it would be a shame, for this game looks absolutely STUNNING!! :D
I just played the demo. It's definitely fun platforming. It's nice to play a game where you die in one hit again.
The game is really impressive graphically, but I'm just not all that into the art style. It's different, I respect it, but I'm not that into it. I'm going to pass on this, but I could see parents buying up some of this for the holidays, and rightfully so. Looks like a charming, well made game.

I think you're underestimating the brand power Nintendo has, they shouldn't really be used to judge how well a game may do. Saying a game will sell purely because it is good has been proven to be not necessarily true plenty of times. Despite how amazing this game will be, I'd be surprised if it sells a lot

When I was 12-13 this is what I imagined all games would look like in the future. If I'd known that it would all be muddy FPSs and people shouting bigoted obscenities at each other online I probably would've stopped gaming then and there.
I'll be ecstatic to be proven wrong, but I thought the general opinion from the previews across the web that the consensus was that this looks amazing, but the gameplay isn't anything to write home about. I'll be picking this up but not at $60, I just can't justify/afford paying that much for any game as a college student.

The problem isn't that it's a full-priced 2D platformer, the problem is that it blows. It's the worst visual clusterfuckery I've ever seen in a game. Multiplayer's essentially unplayable.
Been on my radar since the first footage, and I for one am happy that it's getting a disk release.
Still leaning towards grabbing the Wii version, partially just because it's the only console I've got 4 controllers for, but regardless, this looks like a quality platformer with some drop-dead gorgeous animation.

I really do want to play this but it comes out the same day Saints Row the Third, Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Halo Anniversary. Sadly, I will have to pass until a later date. :(
@SuperMonk4Ever
For me its really "I really would like to try Saints Row the Third and Assassins Creed Revelations, but it comes out the same day as Rayman Origins. Sadly, I will have to pass until a later date"
:P

I played the demo and it completely sold me on buying it at retail full price. The water level had a cartoony beauty (both musically and visually) that really got to me.
Does the PC-version release at the same time as the console versions?
...what's that, no Rayman for PC? Well, that's a shame, but hey, maybe I'll pick it up from the bargain bin in a few months.

Depends on what would you like to do. If you want to get to know the story behind it then better get dosbox or an emulator and go try the first Rayman (Incredibly hard though), then The Great Escape and Hoodlum Havoc. In origins there are many references for the first game. If you just want to have fun then just try out R2, it's easier to beat than R1, which is a pain in the ass some times by it's difficulty, never managed to beat it, and a bit more creative storywise than Hoodlum Havoc. Also completely forget the Rabbids. Any games of them.
