Rayman Origins E3 Gameplay Demo (Ubi Conference)

Sweet. ...but are we to expect it to be sold at a lower price, like say 40 dollars?

Why would they sell this for $40? This looks so much better than many other $60 titles and should easily be worth full price.

That said, they might achieve better sales at $40, but it's definitely going to be worth full price to me.

Looks good. It is like they combined NSMBW and DKCR.

Yes, NSMBW style multiplayer with crazy DKCR design. I really hope they announce a new DKCR, the first one was my favourite Wii game next to Mario Galaxy 1/2 & Kirbys Epic Yarn.

Why exactly are people expecting this game to be sold below regular price? I don't get it.

Because it's in 2D, somehow that means it's less important.
Personally I would buy them at a higher price, considering they're so rare.
 
Loved the gameplay demonstration, loved everything about the game from what iv'e been shown. This is seriously the game that impressed me the most so far from E3. Little Big Planet for Vita coming in a close second.

SEE THIS KONAMI? THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE ROCKET KNIGHT.
 
Magnificient Ancel.

The 2D platformer revival continues. Even 2 generations in a slump could not kill off the genre.

Two gameplay videos from the showfloor:

OMG. Jesus, the nostalgia just hit me like a train after watching that first video. The sounds, the pacing, the platforming, the visuals, everything just feels like a true evolution of the original Rayman (I love how many of the original enemies and objects are being brought back and updated. I loved the blue spike balls in the first video from Hard Rocks in the first Rayman). It is completely surreal to finally see a sequel to one of my all time favorite games actually coming out. This just surpassed Uncharted 3 and Battlefield 3 as my most anticipated game of the year.

Considering how many different levels they brought to E3, I would definitely say this is game of show (at least for me).
 
The character animation details are just awesome, the game's gonna look so crazy wacky with four players on-screen. A 60fps version pleeeeease Blimblim?? :D
 
i met michel ancel yesterday, briefly. enough to shake his hand and tell him how much i enjoyed his games. then he had me play the demo.

so scratch that one off the list.

also, game was great. had a huge smile on my face the whole time. it's the only game i played at e3 i can say that about.
 
That's awesome, I'm a huge fan but I probably wouldn't be able to hold myself back from pestering him with questions about Beyond Good and Evil 2 lol. How was the demo?

edit: never mind, good to hear.

demo was great. it was definitely less frustrating than nsmbw from a co-op standpoint, but i think it was an appropriate level of difficulty overall. there are special hard-to-reach coins to collect in every level, but i'm not sure what they do. we played the jungle level (which i assume is the game's first level) and the desert one, which was apparently revealed for the first time at the show.

and yeah, i kinda wanted to go back and ask him about bge2, but by the time i finished the demo, he had left.

Game Informer interview already said they're dumbing down the difficulty for teh kiddie babbiez who complained about the first game.
Click to expand...
No, they said that few people were able to finish Rayman 1 because it was very hard, so they were going to make this one easier than that so more people could play it. That's a completely reasonable thing to say, because Rayman 1 is indeed a very, VERY difficult and frustrating game. I never finished it for sure... between the hard level designs and continue limit it's such a hard game.
 
...so i talked to him again today, at the very end of the show, this time because i'd been to all the other games at the show i'd wanted to see and that rayman was still my favorite. also, i didn't get a rayman shirt so i wanted to play it some more.

well i managed to work in a request for a photo. then he asked if i'd like a photo with him. then he asked if he'd like a photo of us in the fake body/real head thing like you see when you finish a level in rayman. so that happened. he was extremely nice about it.

afterward, i thanked him wished him luck with beyond good & evil 2. he kinda winced and glanced off to the side and said something like 'it's going to be a while.'

Because it was supposed to be downloadable originally?
Click to expand...
It was also supposed to be episodic afaik. Getting the whole package for 60$ vs several episodes for 15$. There isn't a huge difference, is their?


Definitely one of the best-looking games of E3 btw. Can't wait.

I envy you so much, Anihawk. Ancel is my mancrush
Click to expand...
Oh, yeah, and this. He's one of the few truly talented people in the industry.
 
Definitely hyped for this.

All the gameplay I've seen has been co-op though. I assume single player is in there??

Plus any word at all on the 3DS version?
 
The pacing in general is more frenetic than your average "hop and bop past the dancing flowers" Mario level, but it mostly works towards Rayman's favor. Just don't think you can stop and smell the roses, at least on your first few playthroughs. The roses, as it happens, are actually out to kill you.

The variety of level design in Rayman Origins stood out the most in our demo. Most games throw a fire stage at you and call it a day. Rayman Origins wants to do the same, but does so by filling the screen with things associated with fire instead. You'll swing on red peppers over bubbling cauldrons while cartoon chefs squirt hot sauce at you, and you will die a lot. Everything burns the same as your traditional platforming ensemble, but in a way that rethinks the way we're trained to identify those things, and constantly.

That art style is gorgeous.

It just hit me why, too. Sure it looks Flash-ey, but it also really really looks like classic cartoons. The characters in particular look like they were pulled straight from the comics page.

Wow they're dumping on it in the post-show on GameTrailers. "Maybe if it was a 3D platformer I would care more but leading with a 2D for so long doesn't really work for me" (a bit of paraphrasing near the end there cause I can't remember it precisely)
Click to expand...

Yeah, that was pretty stupid. I've been waiting for some really good next gen 2D games. It's not as if 2D graphics look dated, they have continued to evolve just as much as 3D graphics in a way.

I was one of the people that wished the new Street Fighter games were done in 2D. They would've looked absolutely incredible in HD 2D.

Release appears to be around November 24th/25th, directly competing with Zelda then.
Click to expand...
I know it's a different market, but that's a week after Revelations. Seems kind of weird.
 
It was original set for the same date as the new Assassin's Creed. Not sure if this is better or worse....probably worse.

Really wish they would just push it back to 2012. Looks great, but with so many other games that I personally prioritize over it, I'll probably be skipping Origins this holiday. I imagine it's the same for many others.

It won't have a chance at 60 EUR or 50 EUR on Wii when it's released on the same day as Zelda.
 
Did we ever find out if online co-op is implemented? Or is it only local?

Really looking forward to it, but the holiday line-up is already filled to the brim as always.

Why do you wish that? It will still be on shelves next year. Others will buy it if you don't.

I don't know about that. It's four player and looks similar to NSMB. I think Ubi is banking on it selling because of that for both systems.
