E3 2012: Rayman Legends Trailer Looks Glorious in HD

Doubt this will be any better than Origins, sadly.

Verry pleased to see Ubisoft finally give Rayman the great games he deserves and not let him became the shadow of this stupid rabbits

This looks way, way better than New Super Mario Bros. U.

I'm so excited for this game but I'm hoping that you aren't forced to use the touch-screen controls in single player. I'm afraid that if you constantly have to look down at a 2nd screen to manipulate the environment that it will really slow things down. One of the joys of Origins was being able to fly through the levels at full speed.

This looks like the best currently announced Wii U game.

"Wii U's best looking title?"

It's almost as if you've forgotten that Pikmin 3 was shown off yesterday.

@47drift- It's almost if you've forgotten that people have opinions.

Oh my god, the guitar hero/platform bit blew me away. The rest was pretty awesome at that. I need this.

Apparently I'm the only one who hates this animation and art style. It's just cheap vector graphics that are being rotated and transformed in various ways to produce movement out of very few unique frames. The backgrounds and layers then saturate you with hazy glows and gradients until it looks impressive enough to trick the untrained eye. But to me, it's just another iOS-style game with Flash style animation and vectors... only, a whole lot more of them.

Rayman's release is still "to be announced"

Maybe it'll be ready at launch but they can't announce that b/c Nintendo won't tell us when the launch date is?

Oh well, they've announced 8 games, they can't all come out at once (and until I hear otherwise holiday = launch window). What is the official time frame for a "launch window" to close anyway? A week, a month, a season?

Oh yeah, great looking game, really looking forward to it.

One of the GOOD things about WiiU is the backwards compatibility w/ all the Wiimotes laying around peoples homes. They look almost exactly the same but PS2 DS2s don't work w/ PS3. I honestly don't know if the same is true for Xbox controllers on Xbox360 but I'm thinking no.

Rayman has always been one of my favorite video game characters. "Origins" was one of the best games yet, and now that "Legends" is a Wii U exclusive, i can't wait for what Ubisoft has next for Rayman. I LOVE RAYMAN! CAN''T WAIT FOR THIS GAME!

Wow this looks pretty awesome. Almost reminds me of a mix of Donkey Kong Country what with the mini-games interspersed between levels and Shantae with the ability to switch between layers. Still need to pick up Origins when I have more money saved up, though...

Oh, and the remind me a LOT like Bit.Trip Runner at the end. SWWEEEEEEEEET.

@d-lister I agree with your concerns. Murray looks like a creative use for the GamePad, but I'm afraid that the fluidity of single player will suffer a lot as a result.
Additionally, the environments look less inspired in Legends than in Origins. But of course I think Origins is one of the 3 greatest games ever made, so it's gonna be pretty hard to top it.

Such an ugly art style, Rayman has.

This game looks great. Looking forward to it.

Is it confirmed the game is fully exclusive to Wii U? I thought it was multi-plat.

Yeah. Rayman looks good in HD. That's a first...

Oh no, it's not. It's HD on PS3

Wow innovation.

Look people! THIS IS THE STUFF!!!

that looks awesome ...

Folks, Rayman Origins was truly an incredible game. I think it will be very difficult to follow the masterpiece that it was. I consider Origins to be one of the best platformers of all time, possibly better than anything Mario, and if Legends can come close to that, it will be an achievement. It looks good so far and I hope the single player option doesn't get left in the dust, but time will tell. I can't wait to get my hands on it!
