Rayman 3D |OT| Come on, who's the king?

You refuse to buy Rayman 3D because it's technically flawed, but you want to buy Ridge Racer 3D even though it looks sub-par as well(the stable framerate is literally the only good thing about RR)?Amir0x said:
Oh well, anyway, at this point I'm glad that I decided against the 3DS for now. Rayman is quite honestly the only game that I would like to play. The rest? Eh.

I don't really see any reason for Amirox to buy it since you can buy other versions for much cheaper that are non 3D, and seeing as one of the main points about this version is that it's 3D (which everyone knows he doesn't like), its understandable that he won't buy it if the games not a perfect port of the DC version. I believe that other people though, who want to play it in 3D and experience something new with the game should give it a shot if the reviews aren't bad. SSF4 has its faults, like running only 30 fps in 3D and static backgrounds, but it's still fun from what everyone says, so I don't see why Rayman should be disliked solely because of a few drops in frame rate. As long as the game is fun is all that matters really, and it seems like it is from the people who played it.

Yeah I mean, I can look over a few drops here and there if that's all it is. If it's game changing, then I can understand not warranting a purchase. I've never played it, and I want a GOOD adventure game, and like you said its supposed to be great, so I figured I'll go ahead and pick it up if the fps drops aren't a killer.

I'll still consider buying if the framerate drops are only minor. But all the more reason to wait for reviews.

Awesome. Rayman 2 is still one of the best 3D platforming games ever made.
Amir0x said:
my last resort is probably super monkey ball. i think i'll still wait on impressions from rayman 2 3d just because bge hd put me on kind of an ancel kick and i've only played rayman 2 once.
i'm totally prepared just to get the system and nothing at launch though. my backlog consists of three rpgs and two platformers, so they're things that are either stupidly time-consuming or things i really wanna play.
Looking forward to this. I can live with an imperfect port, if it plays and controls well enough. Portable Rayman 2 is very compelling. Pity the original DS and iPhone versions were such shite. Hopefully this one turns out OK.
Amazon shipped my copy of this. It should be here tomorrow or the next day.
This will only make the wait for the 3DS all the more painful.

I was thinking of buying this tomorrow if Gamestop has it out.

Someone told me the 25th but I honestly don't know for sure.

It honestly seems like it'll turn out to be a decent port. As to if 'decent' is good enough, I guess that depends on the person. My previous playthroughs have all been on the PS2, and that version has pretty severe framerate issues, so i'm okay with this incarnation not holding a steady clip.
Rayman 2 is one of the finest examples of its type, and absolutely needs to be experienced by anyone who even has a passing interest in the genre.

Seriously.
They should have replaced this is Origins.
Would have made a great launch title.
I don't give a fuck if it has "some" framedrops.
The framerate in the gameplay vid in the OP is more than enough for me.
Not it wouldn't. Because it wouldn't have been ready for launch.
Rayman 2 is a great launch title, because there's no competition to go against it in the 3DS launch title, so it can be priced at 45 euros and still sell even though it's a port.
This is why I'm buying it day one instead of waiting for a drop. It's like, the only action/adventure game on day one. I don't like fighters or racers, and don't want to pay 45 euros for a 3h game, so I'm buying Rayman.
If it were to come out in a month I wouldn't even care about it.

There's also Lego Star Wars but I can understand not including it if you're not a fan.Ramenman said:
Such a requirement doesn't apply to all games, you know. There is no excuse for this game in particular to run at anything less. The 12 year old Dreamcast ran this game at a perfect 60 fps, so why shouldn't a brand new 2011 piece of hardware do the same? Anything less means a lazy ass port.Aru said:

I played Rayman 2 on the ps2, a very solid game. However the fun didn't kick in for me until I got the special abilities later. So new players should be able to enjoy it. Get it if you are into platformers.

Went and bought this game today from Gamestop. I'll be keeping it wrapped though until Friday when the reviews come out. If the scores are decent, off goes the wrapper, but if the scores are bad due to being buggy (not the fps drop that has been mentioned before) then I'll probably take it back. Pretty sure it's not that bad of a port, however, so most likely will be keeping this.
Why would you do that?
Member
Wait, so if the game is out... Doesn't that mean the embargo would technically be over?

That's what I thought, but doesn't seem like the embargo is over until Friday. That's when ONM is releasing their review for the game, so I'll be looking forward to it.
I don't usually use that kind of logic, simply because it's usually unrealistic. This, however, is different, simply because it's a port of a 12 year old game on to a console that is well more than capable to do such a thing, given the Dreamcast version, that this is based on, ran at a perfect 60fps. Anything less is unacceptable. That being said, it seems people are saying that it's 60 the vast majority of the time, and I think that's good enough for me. So my launch titles are now Pilotwings, Super Monkey Ball and Rayman. Excellent.Aru said:

If you don't remember much of the game, it seems to be a decent port, which instantly makes it one of the top launch titles. I'm a bit concerned about these difficulty curve changes, though, given how "hard" Ubi games are usually like nowadays, but we'll find out how severe they are in a couple of days regardless.
