That is an achievement like "score X points in the first 2 weeks of release" or something like that. an Achievement you can only get if you buy the game at launch window.
It is another way for the publisher to give an incentive to buy the game when it launches rather than buy used, because buying used will be outside that window and the achievement will probably not be available.

That's awful.
yeah, I rember them saying something very similar about the Wii U version, because of the Wii Us 2GB of RAM
They're called Challenges I think and every game has them. They rotate every so often and some offer rewards.
Wii U and then double dip on the Vita version.
No, they really aren't like that. Microsoft made a lot of noise about how they could offer special non-traditional achievements, and this sounds exactly like that. From the story linked in the OP....

Missed Rayman last year in all the holiday madness. Still not sure if I want to go with Wii U or XB1, people seemed to actually like the murffy levels with the touch screen.
They're not actual achievements, they're timed challenges (no points) that developers can put content behind (Crimson Dragon had concept art for example).

No they are not. They are complete & utter shit, especially the Daily & Weekly challenges.Still with this? They're good with a touchscreen

A bit off-topic, but why does Amazon call the PS4 and One versions the "Standard Edition"? Are we getting some kind of collector's version?

I was about to say if it was just a little less at around £30 I would pick it up, but low and behold, it is only £30 on ShopTo! I'd link to it but it is a banned site.
There is a demo on Wii U eshop, give it a try. And if you have a friend to play this with, the co-op is great.

I had tried the demo and I found it to be pretty boring moving platforms for an AI. Are all of those levels pretty much the same? Or does it get more "interesting" than that?

Definitive edition?! Was going to pick it up on PC but now ill get the PS4 version....
Better visuals, no load times, more costumes, am I missing anything else?

Really looking forward to picking it up. Although I'm not sure which console I want to pick it up on.
They are good, but my chief complaint with the Wii U games centers on the fact that those levels basically require you to look at the game pad. With such beautiful visuals on display, it sucks having to look at the ugly gamepad screen rather than your own TV. That honestly put me off from playing those levels until I had no choice.Still with this? They're good with a touchscreen
They get more complex and inventive, but the core mechanic of moving stuff to clear a path for the player remains the same.
I personally didn't like the Murphy stages; I felt they were interruptions for the actual gameplay; but a ton of people loved them so I guess it depends on who you are.
The level in the demo is a very easy one, of course, but in the end that's the principle of it, to help the AI to find the right path. They get quite challenging sometimes and I like most the part where you juggle through the lasers/lights/enemies and the underwater part. The co-op is great because you need good coordination and the Murfy player must really time it well.
On Wii U and Vita you play as Murfy. If you play co-op, one plays as Murfy and one as Rayman (or another character)

On the xbox one can you use smartglass as a second screen for Murfy?

the Murphy Levels ruined the game for me. I wish they would of left them out of the Non Wii U versions. Also can we have a $10 upgrade program for this please?

What about my bonus heart during the load screens for levels??? But yeah, lose the Murfy shit already. Stank up the whole game.
I'll probably wait for this to show up on Plus actually... seems a likely contender for some time before the end of 2014.

Good question. I highly doubt they compressed the PC textures, it'd be pointless.
Whenever I see the term "the power of the..." I vomit a little inside my mouth. Anyway, You probably mean this quote:
[...]You can really have huge textures, and it’s crazy because sometimes the graphic artist – we built our textures in very high-dentition. They could be used in a movie. Then we compress them, but sometimes they forget to do the compression and it still works! [Laughs][...]
I'm curious what happens to the extra live though.
Uncompressed textures means there is no quality loss. Any texture that is compressed gets tiled and loses color.

I think it is $40 in US Amazon. In UK it is £30 or £35
Word. Murphy levels are the worst levels in the game.
Hmmm, Amazon Canada has it for $59.99, Best Buy Canada has it for $44.99... :|

I like the Camera Mode they are adding to the PS4 edition, that game has beautiful moments.

Thanks for the info you two. I think I'll probably go with the XB1 version then, didn't think about dark10x's point about having to look at the Wii U's screen while I'm sitting right infront of my nice TV.

I bought this on RD, and I will buy it again when it is cheap on next gen, I may even triple dip with the WiiU lol.

come on now
Sorry. Fixed.
So anyone who's played this, is it more enjoyable to play the Murfy levels with touch controls or am I better off with non-touch. I played them a bit in the demo on wii-u and didn't really like the levels and heard PS3 and 360 just map him to one button. What do you guys think?
If the consensus is that it's better with Murfy button mapped, I'm going to go with Xbox One.

It's not like the core platforming they introduced in Origins had gotten stale, or that the standard level design in Legends when it is present is bad or un-inventive. Absolutely needless.

Can someone please explain what the purpose of triple dipping on a game like this is? Don't mean to troll, I just genuinely can't understand this. Ok, if you want to have it portable and at home, that I can see. But to re-buy the exact same game because they cut out 10 seconds of loading, and the textures are slightly more HD than they already were? Some gamers have an "interesting" way of managing their budget.
BTW I found the touchscreen murphy stages really fun on Wii U, I really can't imagine any other way of playing those stages.

I sold my Xbox 360 version of the game for $45 as soon as the version on next gen consoles was announced.
So yeah, the better textures, faster loading times plus the convinence of starting the game simply by saying its name (Xbox One) is enough for me to want the next gen version even though I already had it/played it on the Xbox 360. I like the game that much.
Guess it's time for me to finally get this, though I hate this trend of rereleasing games on ps4/xbone at full price.
Or they don't have one.
