Video: Ubisoft Unveils Illuminating New Child of Light Walkthrough Footage

The sooner Ubisoft follow in the footsteps of THQ the better. Maybe some life gets injected into their IP when that happens until then they make nothing interesting and actively poison the market for other 3rd parties on Wii U.

(The price reducing strategy they have is an if we cannot have it no one can type thing that will kill it for almost everybody else other than Nintendo).

Omg that looks awesome. I really hope it's not over in 12 hours....or ubisoft ubicraps it.

Beautiful music and Grandia II inspired combat... if this gets good reviews, I'll be buying it when I can find the time for it.

looks absolutely beautiful, definitely interested in this one

Reminds me somewhat of Legends of Mana, art-style-wise. That's a huge plus in my book. I think I'll pick this up day one, well, download anyway. From what I've heard this is just a eShop title. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The battle system looks pretty interesting. Looking forward to more footage/information

Looks fun! I'll definitely get it when it releases.

@unrandomsam
Seriously? So you would prefer to NOT have Rayman Legends to play? Or Splinter Cell Blacklist? Or Assassin's Creed? Or Watch Dogs? Or this Child of Light? I actually like playing games, and Ubisoft not only makes fun games, they bring them to the Wii U, unlike most 3rd party companies. Don't like their games, don't buy them. But why would you wish everyone else to do without?

I really like the look of this! Cant wait!

@JaxonH Tellem

Ubisoft is developing some nice Wii U games lately. I think I'll get this one.

Looks beautiful and I love the animations of the main character when it's full body. The close up animations are pretty disappointing to be honest. And the monster animations, too. Hopefully, there's a lot more time in the oven for this one.

I bought Assassin's Creed 3 and Rayman, and I'm sad to say I felt... unconnected to both games. I didn't feel I was controlling either character and their actions seemed light and 'floaty'. I felt whatever I did had no consequence as the games reset themselves to a point until I got it right. They both look pretty but didn't feel any sense of achievement, or desire to continue with either of them I doubt I'll purchase another of their games.

@JaxonH You know what game Ubisoft needs to bring to the Wii U? A sequel to "Lost Magic". I mean, it would be perfect for the Wii U. I know the original for the DS got a lot of flack for being hard and somewhat flimsy controls, but I loved that game.

The first two notes made me think of Other M.

@MrGawain

SO just like Nintendo games than.

@Sony_70 It depends if he feels the same in regards to Nintendo games. Quit stirring the pot, man, different opinions...yo.

@JaxonH What they are doing with their pricing will make it even harder for other 3rd parties to succeed. (Ones actually making exclusives that deserve to be cared about). They are destroying it for everybody else.

Tempted to buy this, but only if it doesn't get delayed after it's completed.

@LUIGITORNADO

Was a joke about how nearly all games pretty much reset themselves.

I wish this was be released on the 3DS too though I'd definitely double dip.

@CountWavula

Dude its a RPG, what were you expecting.

I think this is there take on a Visual Novel/JRPG style game. And it's pretty good.

I don't like turn-based combat, otherwise I would have definitely gotten this title.

@CountWavula Same with Mario you play one you play them all........

@JaxonH I totally agree with your comment this community has some kinda vendetta on poor Ubisoft and like you stated they are the only 3rd Party developer that are putting time for the Wii U full stop but they always complain how they develop titles they "Don't" like but what if Ubi drops support for Nintendo Consoles all together would this community give a damn or would they complain as usual stating the obvious BS. Regardless of this Child of Light looks great and has amazing RPG styled gameplay also good for the Wii U like it or not but for this immature bunch probably not.

The game looks great. I can't wait to give it a whirl

Yeah, these modern RPG's are nothing compared to the awesome 8/16-Bit Phantasy stars and Final Fantasy classics... They just rely on graphics alone to sell them while becoming stale like PSBOX36041 FPSers

I was looking forward to this until I read 'turn-based combat'. Oh well.

@CountWavula Your whole comment is "Dead Wrong".

@D3athBr1ng3r187 new super mario bros, mario 64, mario galaxy and super mario 3d land really aren't similar at all

@unrandomsam: still not over the Rayman Legends delay? I was a little miffed at first, but... seriously, it's gone, it's in the past. Buy the game and you will not be disappointed.

To say that Ubisoft are poisoning the 3rd-party market for the Wii U makes you reek of bitterness and you're clearly blind to the fact that Ubisoft are one of the few companies still driving 3rd-party on the Wii U. If they went the way of THQ and sold their IP to other companies, the Wii U would see even less games (god forbid any of this stuff would be bought by EA). Of course, that's not going to happen.

On a side note, did you actually watch the trailer? This game looks amazing and quite original. The battle mechanics remind me of Grandia's, particularly the timeline and being able to cancel an enemy's action.

@CountWavula Now we getting on MegaMan LOL dude reality check SMB2 USA wasn't suppose to be the game it was in the first place for starters the game was based off a japanese only Famicom game called Doki Doki Panic the "REAL" Japanese SMB2 WAS the same game but way harder and challenging and Nintendo Japan didn't see us US children or whatever country you live as compentant to beat the game. So Nintendo Japan shipped NOA Doki Doki Panic to develop Mario over the main layer of the game so we can have a Mario 2 title which was watered down version of an terrible game. I grew up playing these games and for SMB3 you know why thats the best Mario because it was amazing different in every department. Now back to basics why hate on MegaMan is you that terrible at the series or you too Pro Nintendo and Anti everything else.

@ljb88 Read my comment fool I know they different the 3D ones anyways I was stating that when you play the best mario you play them all. The 2D NSMB series isn't my cup of tea too damn easy to beat also Nintendo needs to go back to the roots of classic SMB core.

@CountWavula Sadly I agree with you and i'm sorry ok also i'm off topic but I wish Nintendo would go back to they core roots thats all.

I don't really like this style for gameplay. If it were in "cutscenes", it would be wonderful, but playing like this, it's just not mine. It also looks pretty boring to me.

@Sony_70

No, no exactly. What I meant was with a platformer like Mario, if you're powered up and you fall down a hole at the end of a level, You have to replay the whole level, plus you lose a life, plus you lose your power up. In Rayman if you die in a level, it pops you back at a way point not far away, and if you had an extra heart, you get it back. It's only a slight difference, but it takes a little bit of achievement away.

Also in Assassin's Creed, I could help but feel that in fights, there wasn't that satisfaction of landing a blow in a game like say, Arkham or Darksiders. I could say the same thing about climbing or running, the actions just felt unnatural.

It may just be a personal opinion, but it makes me feel like UBIsoft games aren't for me.

Really looking forward to this, but I still don't get why that other UbiArt title won't come to Wii U. Valiant Hearts I believe it's called, and it looks as if it could easily become one of my favourite games ever. Unless they decide to skip my favourite home console indeed.

So glad to be part of the Nintendo Wii U Family. Is there a release date yet?

Lovely. Enchanting website, as well.

BTW, how's this run on PS or Xbox? Oh, wait... ;p

most beautiful game ever. period.
