Topic: Rayman Legends delayed

The past 2 years were Ubisoft games, I just realized (ZombiU, Rayman Origins). Fitting.

2008 and 2009 had nothing to make up for 2010 having Sonic Colors, Epic Mickey and Goldeneye btw. Well, other way around but you know what I mean.

I think this game is more for a casual audience so it might be better to just forget about the WiiU version and let it not sell its best on the PS360... Ubi's decision will ultimately backfire no doubt

This boycott stuff has to stop.

Every time this happens I disappear from forums until things calm down.

Then there are those that say they never liked said company's games anyway. Really, there are absolutely NO Ubi published games that you like? You must not play many games then, or at the very least look at the corner of a box.

Let's boycott Capcom because we don't get Resident Evil 5. Forget all the other great games they created.

Let's boycott EA despite having some good titles back in 2008.

Let's boycott Renegade Kid because I like piracy.

Really, I guess I'll be the 1st to boycott Wayfoward and Shin'en. They haven't done anything negative yet but if you could please sign this petition...

Seriously, I'm starting to see why games sell more on other platforms

End Rant

you're implying either that these boycotts ever happen or that every fandom doesn't have terrible, horrible children.

lolno

I know I will be getting the game no matter what. I do wish the game came out sooner but boycotting it isn't going to solve anything. By boycotting the game you won't get the game any faster and worst is you will be telling Ubisoft that you don't want the game. Why would you do that? Buy the game for WiiU, show them they should make more games for WiiU by showing them sales are good on the system. You are working against yourself by boycotting

Boycotting a company because they don't announce a game for your platform does seem a bit silly; this seems less so.

I'm still not getting how you can send Ubisoft a message without refusing to buy the game. If you just roll over the only message being sent is that you can tell platform supporters to their face "we've made the game for your machine but we don't feel like releasing it because, well, we just don't" and they'll make some noise on Facebook and still give you a profit when you do decide to publish. How is that a good thing?

I'm not saying people have a "right" to get the game right now, but they do have a right to be a bit ticked off about this and tell Ubisoft to take their game elsewhere. There's a lot of games I'll never play just because I'm not going to buy whatever platform they exist on, so another one won't make a difference to me.

But they are releasing the game they are just waiting for a time they feel will maximize their profits which means most likely another game will come from it

You're professing a lot of faith in Ubisoft on the back of an action which would appear to suggest that faith is misplaced. I've yet to hear anyone from that company make any promises on the back of projected sales of Rayman Legends. For all we know that could be the last Ubisoft game on the Wii U...

Rayman origins sales were not as good as they hoped they would be. Ubisoft is placing faith in us, the consumers, to be interested in a sequel. I don't see where my faith is misplaced until Ubisoft announces the game won't be coming out for WiiU but that is such a long shot. It would be crazy for them to not release it on WiiU. I want the game and I want the WiiU features. Why should I punish them for waiting to make more money while I still get my game?

The problem is they're gonna release it at a time when more games will be out and RL will be a background sleeper amongst better software

@DefHalan: Because by shifting this date they appear to be taking your support for granted such that they feel they can disregard a pledged first-quarter release in favour of a delay to work on porting to other platforms.

Slapshot said something interesting in the news comments. It could well be that Ubisoft is getting cold feet regarding the Wii U and tried to get Nintendo to pay them for a timed exclusive to make them feel better and this situation is the result of that tack failing and Nintendo saying "no." If so that's even more cynical...

So Ubisoft is getting cold feet about their WiiU support and your idea of "fixing" the situation is not buying the game? I am confused do you want Ubisoft to stop supporting the WiiU? If you want Ubisoft to take the WiiU more seriously, i know I do, then you need to support their games on the system

This delay would appear to indicate that Ubisoft doesn't take Wii U owners seriously and frankly I don't think this system needs more publishers like that - I mean EA is enough, surely?

You do what you feel is right, but I don't tend to support companies that take the piss out of me regardless of how much I may like something they make.

@P-roy my analyst crystalloid tells me most PS360 users won't really care about Rayman that's why origins had terrible sales.

This is no big deal, really. I guess the true fans of Rayman will buy the game now. I have a Wii U and PS3, and if I get it, I'm getting it for Wii U(duh).

I think the bigger problem is that the gamers that are blowing their lids off are those who own a Wii U and not a PS3 or Xbox 360. The reason I said that is because if you have one of those other consoles and saw the massive amount of games already out and coming out for those consoles, then you wouldn't be complaining about the delay of ONE game (regardless of the reason).

See? This is why I rarely buy a console in it's early months. It's because there's likely going to be a drought of games during those first few months. Oh well, you reap what you sow.

That, and at least a good majority of these complainers were likely only planning on buying Rayman Legends because it was in their eyes a Wii U exclusive. Whatever happened to buying a game because it looks awesome?

I can't even afford as little games as there are on Wii U as it is. I want Ninja Gaiden, AC3, and Tekken the most right now, since I already have the other games, and I can't even afford those as it is now.

I was never going to get RL anyway due to the demo being a easy casual difficulty... I already wasted my cash on a similar game when I downloaded NSMBU.

@Knux: From what I've seen in the comments, most are angry at the delay itself (though many are fuming over the multiplatforming)
