The 360 demo is gold only??!?!?
CURSES

Always. It's sucks that you have to wait a fucking week without gold... I want to hear that damn 5.1 surround sound!

 

[Putty]

Fabulous! Amazing soundtrack! Not on my radar previously but by god it is now!

 

[wouwie]

I've been playing the demo over and over. There seems to be a good amount of replayability in collecting stuff, finding hidden areas and time trials.

Still 14 days for us euros. It's going to be a long wait.

 

[op_ivy]

just tried the demo and it is really really good. may have to figure out a way to get this and justify the purchase with fm4 and reach (and mayhaps MW3) occupying so much of my already limited gaming time.

 

[robertlebrone]

Can't decide between PS3 or Wii version... Ugh.

 

[dark10x]

Can't decide between PS3 or Wii version... Ugh.

What's the deciding factor? The game was drawn at 1080p, so it will look MUCH sharper on a PS3. The Wii version will be sacrificing a lot of the detail they've included. Also, the camera is prone to zooming way out, which might be troublesome for the low resolution version.

 

[Yanksfan]

Would've been nice if it was $49.99 like Sonic Generations.

Agreed. I am sure it will be on sale soon, but I would probably take a leap Day 1 for $50.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

Can't decide between PS3 or Wii version... Ugh.

Yeah man, if you have the option, the ps3 is the obvious choice here.

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Can't decide between PS3 or Wii version... Ugh.

The only difference between the two is that you can play Rayman Origins in 1080p on PS3. No big deal...

Well Wii version is cheaper, I can play it on Dolphin (1080p 4xAA) and I think the art style won't lose much on the Wii. I'd really like to see the Wii version in action though, would make things a lot easier.

But won't the source art be paired down? there is no need for ultra high quality art if the game was meant to run at 480p.

4XAA won't help you much since the game is 2D, and since the 2D assets are quite probably of much lower resolution on that version, neither will the increased resolution of Dolphin.

And the game is ALREADY natively running at 1080p on the PS3.

Due to memory limitations, the Wii version won't include the full 1080p art assets. The game is completely 2D so upscaling it to 1080p using Dolphin will not improve the visuals all that much. It will still appear much blurrier than the PS3 version.

Dolphin can work magic on 3D titles, but there's only so much that can be done with 2D artwork.

Even if the Wii version included high-res assets and you could use Dolphin, what would be the point? The PS3 version is already 1080p so you wouldn't see ANY improvements and would likely only introduce flaws into the mix.

But Rayman's UbiArt Framework is 3d, isn't it? All the 2d gets translated into nurbs.

 

[AbsoluteZero]

Going for the 360 version eventually.

Though my iMac can only display it at 720p. Ah well.

 

[dark10x]

But Rayman's UbiArt Framework is 3d, isn't it? All the 2d gets translated into nurbs.

Even if makes use of 3D rendering techniques, the artwork used in the Wii version isn't going to be of the same resolution as the PS3 and 360 versions. The Wii doesn't have the memory to cope with it.

Dolphin is never going to produce results as crisp as the 360 and PS3 versions.

 

[robertlebrone]

Hmmm... this is the type of stuff I was needing to know. Guess I will be getting the PS3 version then.

Do all the HD versions come with a code for BG&E HD or is that just Gamestop?

Grabbing my pitchforks. What is the Jeff Gerstmann grade bullshit. Those goddamn fucking dumbasses at Game Trailers wouldn't know what an A button was unless a tutorial explicitly told them these goddamn video game babies need to shut the fuck up and quit. Jesus christ, who even hires these people

 

[John Harker]

I have the X360 version, but what I REALLY want is the 3DS version. Looks like an awesome handheld game.

The BG&E thing is Gamestop exclusive. I don't like to give them business but I haven't played BG&E yet so I'll probably buy it from there tonight.

That was a great review. Wish all were written like that, no hyperbole, no bullshit, just a fair review.

I heard paper mario is godly on dolphin .... so there is hope

 

[Vicros]

I've been looking forward to this for a long time. The Giant Bomb quicklook sold me for sure, then the demo extra sold me. The control is spot-on perfect. I've been wanting a game like this for years.

I don't have high hopes for it's sales numbers, but I'll definitely be one of them.

 

[Snuggles]

More reviews have gone up, if anyone cares.

[Tizoc]

All these good reviews need to be mentioned in the thread title, maybe as '2D GotY 2011' or some such.

 

[e_i]

My 360 went RLOD, so I transferred my preorder over to the PS3 version.

 

[Ken]

Cancelled my Halo: Anniversary pre-order but keeping this so I can play through co-op with a friend.

Glad to see that Rayman is getting good reviews.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Amazing how many people suck up this kind of bullshit.

They said it to my face at gamescom you mean they lied

Doesn't Muramasa look good on Dolphin too?

 

[Yoshi]

I have the X360 version, but what I REALLY want is the 3DS version. Looks like an awesome handheld game.

Are there any videos of the 3DS version? Or reviews? Has maybe anyone here played the 3DS version and can tell me how good of a port it is? I definitely consider buying the 3DS version for now as Zelda will have me occupied for quite a few weeks when I'm at home. Also I love portable gaming. Later on I'd buy the 360 version when it's in the bomba bin (so... januaray 2012 ?) for multiplayer. But for this the 3DS version has to be a good port, I don't want the game to have framerate issues or even missing levels :/.

 

[dwu8991]

Didn't finish the demo. Game is just not for me.

 

[jonnybryce]

So just saw the Gametrailers review... I'm surprised it didn't get a higher score. They pretty much only gave the game compliments...

They did say the game feels simple minded with not enough stand out moments, so the score goes with their words imo.

Man that was an awesome cartoon, and I have to agree.

I thought the GT review was pretty great. I loved seeing more of the game too

Is there a way to disable the Loco Roco-sounding music?

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Is $40 for the U.S., too? That would definately make me buy the game.

Quoting as I'd like to know where to find 3DS impressions also. I guess they're rare as the game is slated for 2012.

Quoting for new page, cause that's a great deal. I'm sticking with my Amazon order for the art book, though. Hopefully it's nice.

 

[kobashi100]

loved the demo!

good to see Rayman back on track! Really hope the 3DS version still gets released.

 

[Aru]

The demo was great and harder than I expected. It's a good thing though.

 

[Zutroy]

Loved the demo. Game looks stunning. Don't know whether to get it though or wait for the Vita version.
