I highly doubt this was Matt's exclusive. If he thinks a new Rayman game is better than having any Blizzard game (except SC Ghost) then something is wrong.

I'm still trying to figure out how this plays.

By the description and shot, it seems to be Tempest but with Boogie Nights Rayman on the back of Shelob chasing after Rabid Rabbits.

Let me put in my preorder now!

I can confirm that the screenshot is taken directly from the trailer.

The reason they have 2 shots is that they run the gameplay footage on the right, then show it in time with the footage on the left of how you use the Wii controller with the game.

I think this indicates a slightly bad marketing position. Remember the virtual boy, they couldn't show any footage of the 3D effect because you had to be wearing the goggles. One of the main features of the Wii-mote is that the act of moving it about is half the fun, and you can't really show that on a trailer, you need a hands-on.

as said before.. i dont know if im gonna laugh at the wii, like yet another virtua boy, or love it :/

Right now, it seems like a advanced lightgun to me, and that dont impress me as much.. nor does it stop microsoft nor sony to make their own controllers, just like the dualshock etc.. that works just like nintendos.

if MS and Sony do.. then Wii will only have their old emulationgames.. but then, your pc will do that perfekt too.. :/

ROFL @ picture! The game doesn't look too bad but not too good either!

That kid on the right would be most people's expressions when playing the game i think :p

Agree. My suggestion would be to introduce a small 'standardized' animated stylized figure overlayed in the right corner of the trailers. This simple figure could illustrate the players usage of the FHC.

I dunno, that first video they showed when Rev was announced made it look pretty fun!

The "Izza Gud" part was later explained to have no meaning. It's just something they say around the office supposedly. Just that the game is cool and unexpected. "Better than a Blizzard game". I would hope that doesn't mean Rayman.

What the..?

Are you guys talking about Matt's "Izza Good" comment?
Click to expand...

Yeah. According to him this is something that we're not expecting. Rayman has been rumored for quite some time.

They Rayman game sounds so cool.

If you guys remember in the Wallace and Gromit movie, the rabbits kept saying "weeeeeeeeeeeeeee" whenever they were being sucked by that vacuum thing.

If the developers do that in this game I would certainly buy it :lol

And I supposed you can infer... since Rayman RR is confirmed for a "Holiday 2006" release, and it is announced as an official Wii launch title, that the Wii will be launching right where we all expected... November :)

Assuming October isn't considered "Holiday", which I doubt it is
