Rayman Legends |OT| "It's a bit like a porno" (Michel Ancel) WiiU/360/PS3/Vita/PC

Does anyone else in the UK have their Steam copy still say that it is preloading?

Yeah, It sounds like all UK is getting that. Some chap on the steam forums mentioned in one of the trailers they highlight the release date as the 30th so I'm gonna guess that it won't be accessible till at least past midnight.

For anyone who has the Wii U version of Rayman Legends, does anyone know what the use is for "Redeem Code" on Rayman Legends main menu, under "Uplay and Bonus"

Wondering if that aveline pre order costume for Wii U is a universal code and works there...

If not, anyone know what it is used for?

Thanks
 
Can anyone connect to the Uplay servers on PC? I just get a message that says they're not available at this time. Was the same thing with the demo.

Yep, I used my costume code there.

Mine's been fine since I activated it 14 hours ago. Sounds like your firewall, perhaps?


This game also seems really short. A few hours in, I've completed 3 (of 6, excluding Origins) worlds, with most of the Teensies. Unless I'm missing a large part, I'm glad this didn't come out last year.

Anyone have the issue with rayman legends where its not the filling the whole screen? My res is 1980x1080 and there is a black border around the video, even though the res in options is set to max. Any ideas? Im running win7 with an AMD 7790 gfx card.
 
I'm wondering how noticeable the graphics downgrade is on the Vita version.

With Rayman Origins the Vita version was nearly identical to the PS3 version.

I had issues with it hitching at 66fps. Then at normal 1080 it fills the screen, but the uplay overlay had overscan.

Try a custom resolution, like I am - 1919x1080, for example (in the catalyst control panel). Worked for my nvidia 770 and GeForce control centre

Got the game yesterday ( yay broken street date!) and am almost through world 2 now. I have really enjoyed the game so far. After the demo I was a bit worried about the murfy levels (playing on PS3) being too simple for normal platforming but they have really picked up the pace after the first few and I think I actually prefer to have traditional platforming in these as there are quite a lot of them, at least in the first two worlds.

The daily challenges turned out to be surprisingly addicting, just unlocked the extreme daily challenge earlier this evening and had to play that long enough to get my score up to golden trophy level :p

Btw, do the invasion levels unlock randomly or is there a method to unlocking them, got my first one in the second world but I have no idea how it unlocked.

Ok, you can always try, I highly doubt it'll work though.
Here it is : RKJ-17VP-GDVP-4VLW-VT5M

Ah nevermind, I thought the code screen seemed like an ingame code input, but it seems it does actually connect online, so they're all unique.
Ah well worth a try.

Thanks anyway

You get them by obtaining Teensies in the levels, but I'm not sure they follow any logical order.

With Rayman Origins the Vita version was nearly identical to the PS3 version.

From what I've seen so far, there's more 3D objects and animations going on in the background, so that could see some reductions in shaders and geometry (and tax the framerate - I hope they focus on keeping the framerate over the details)

Having the exact same issue. Ive been playing in Windowed mode, and making it as large as possible - but still obviously have a window bar across the top.
Any idea how to get rid of the black border? Im on an AMD card too if that helps.

But, aside from that. The game is incredible. Its astonishingly beautiful. And fairly challenging in parts.

Man this really sucks the game isn't out till the 3rd in the USA....So tempted to use a VPN service I use to unlock it but don't want to risk losing my Steam account.
 
Hmm, two Murfy stages per world is a bit much, I went on a mission to get them all out of the way now and leave myself superior standard stages, i've not played the other versions but I think button Murfy is likely to trump touch Murfy when it comes down to it for single player.
Otherwise things are going down well, the chase stage in the food/day of the dead themed world put the biggest grin on my face. Seems like it's lacking a bit on the overall level amount though, having back to Origins sitting in the same game only helps highlight this further.

As for more comparisons to Origins, bosses have more checkpoints making them less of an annoyance, they're alright but you know platformers, bosses are very rarely their strong suit.
Back to Origins splits itself into five worlds but these include some stages from the later world variations from the back half of Origins, I spy some Mosquito and Treasure chest stages, can't say I want those flight stages but the chases are welcomed, unfortunately they dragged in some bosses which I could've done without.
I'm unable to take a look at the last world to see if Mecha No Mistake is in but at least i've got Dragon Soup in here.

I'm so sick of you fancy-pants Europeans getting games before us, first Dream Team, then W101, now Rayman. I secretly hope DKCTF comes out at least a week after the US release, I hope you feel the pain in my heart while I write big impressions about the fun I'm having.

Without me to adjust your expectations for Dream Team who knows how you'd have reacted? see, i'm totally helping!
If TF arrives even a week later i'll freely admit that i'd be a hypocrite and lament about how unjust the situation is, hell i'm still irked it was pushed into December.

Ok so lay it on me GAF. How dangerous is it to unlock a game via Steam on a VPN? Considering how much I have spent on my Steam account I can't afford to lose it via ban.
 
Glad I have this on Wii U. So much murphy action that it would be a snorefest on other consoles. My opinion of course, I just cant imagine playing this on another console.

Very addicting, with stuff opening up constantly, giving you that dopamine rush comparable to leveling up in CoD or expanding your farm in Hay Day.

It's funny as I'm really enjoying the Murfy levels on PC where you directly control Rayman and get Murfy to do things by pressing a button. It's obviously different in how it works but so far it's been fun as hell.
 
Tried Wii U and PS3 demos to get a feel for the Murfy stuff.

Working the touchscreen while the CPU moves Rayman is a serious snooze-fest. At least when you have to do both parts (even though one is now just a button), it provides a little challenge.

But Murfy seems pretty stupid - he doesn't seem to want to move where he's supposed to, especially to get me into the "hidden" spots. I worry that later levels could be hectic, and his stupidity could get really problematic, with no option for a human to take over.

Still torn.

Why, oh why, can't the Wii U (and Vita) version let you play either way?

:(

Isn't that like every Nintendo release now? I know this technically isn't, but that's what it started as.
 
So what is the general consensus on the best version of this game GAF? I know it's been developed for Wii U but the PC version on Steam is roughly $20 AUD cheaper here in Australia. Not sure if I can justify the extra cash, even though my Wii U really needs a game to play.

I'm also considering not buying this until I've finished Origins, which has been a victim of my Steam backlog. Considering that Legends has roughly half of the Origins levels included, I'm scared I'll never finish Origins because of this. Good idea/bad idea to hold off on this in my situation?

I was very interested in this for my WiiU & the demo was really good, in fact it made me pre-order it, until it was put on ice & held back until the X360/PS3 versions were ready, the game was good to go gold but it was pulled, as soon as i found out i cancelled my order & will never pay money for it.

I hope the game bombs worse than W101 has.

Ubi crossed the line with what they did to us WiiU owners & have not been forgiven, it's all about the principles !

It's UbiArt engine. It doesn't really matter. They all look great. PC's cheaper, but the Wii U feels more natural with the Murfy stuff

Cool. I finally learned gaming purchasing habits are all about principles. Can't believe I didn't realize that.
