UBISOFT?'S RAYMAN LEGENDS NOW COMING TO XBOX 360? AND PLAYSTATION 3?

London, UK - February 7th, 2013 - Today, Ubisoft announced that its forthcoming title Rayman Legends, already announced for the Wii UTM system from Nintendo, will also be released on the Xbox 360? video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation?3 computer entertainment system. All versions will now hit shelves in early September 2013.

The Microsoft Xbox 360? and Sony PlayStation? 3 versions of Rayman Legends are being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, the same team behind the Nintendo Wii UTM game. Rayman Legends has been praised for its stunning visuals and innovative gameplay by media around the world and labeled as one of the most anticipated platformers of 2013.

"We heard from many Xbox & Playstation owners and Rayman fans who told us they really wanted to play Rayman Legends on their current system", says Geoffroy Sardin, EMEA Chief Marketing & Sales Officer. "We decided to give the fans what they wanted while at the same time broadening the audience exposed to this innovative and memorable game."

Rayman Legends retains the fantasy appeal of its predecessor while adding a multitude of clever and entertaining gaming modes, new characters, new environments and a new soundtrack. The award-winning team of artists, designers and composers from Origins has also returned with an advanced UbiArt engine to include multi-dimension gameplay elements, an improved lighting system and updated game rendering that elevate Rayman's graphics to the next level.

It uses the Tablet controller on the Wii U (the little bug guy is controlled by tapping and dragging). They'd have to really alter the game to make it work on the 360 or PS3.

Have you played the game on the WiiU ? there's none of the tablet controller stuff that couldn't be done with a controller. in fact I'd say the game would be better without it.

sure it uses the tablet in a unique ish way and at least makes creative use of it. but it still seems unnecessary. and it's annoying the way it splits the focus between the screens, and first look at the TV, then, look at the screen, then look at both, then look at the TV... it's just annoying, especially in the tilt the world sequences... gah.

Ubisoft has announced that Rayman Legends has been delayed and will no longer be a Wii U exclusive. Legends will now hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U in early September, more than six months later than its original release date of February 26th.

Crap :(

Was getting ready to buy/play this game, Origins was good and the demo from Legends is awesome!

I think it's the second time it's delayed, it was supposed to be a Wii U launch title... not 100% sure about that, but I think I saw that somewhere.

Yeah it was supposed to be a launch game, they delyaed it about 1-2 month before launch. Now this, I don't get why they want to launch all version at the same time. Unless they get more money out of selling on xbox and ps3 then on wiiU. But even then, i wanted to play that game this month.

it really is just a dick move, they didn't even give a good reason for the delay (actually they didn't give a reason at all, which is even worse IMO)

I was going to get the Wii U version when it was going to release in February, but since they are delaying it to the same month as GTA V, I will probably just skip it now.

Kind of dumb to delay a finished game because you want to make it multiplatform at the last minute. :s

So Nintendo really can't hold onto exclusives.

I hope it's released on PC as well, as I enjoyed Rayman Origins.

Yeah. I got it on my vita, looks beautiful.

It's all about money dude. I bet even bayonetta 2 will goes multiplatform eventually.

Yeah. I think it will also go multiplat.

Why even make bayonetta 2 a exclusive in the first place when the original wasn't? That in itself makes no sense for them to do.

because they thought the WiiU would sell millions and that they could save money by developing for one platform and possible pocket money from Nintendo.

basically economics. dismal Wii U sales ruined their plan. of course the fact that only die hard nintendo fanboys showed interest in it before hand should have clued them in.

Apparently the WiiU version is finished, and the devs were pushed to complete it as soon as possible. Then they found out Ubi went "**** it, well go multiplat and put it out in Sep. or something".

Well, WiiU users got a demo. (????)?? ???

    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products. Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games. Following this, AMD is planning to bring out RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) support for FSR 4.1 sometime in early 2027. As for the games, this Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver is a recommended install for anyone jumping into Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake or id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages' Revelations expansion. The two fixed issues in this release are these: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing RoadCraft on Radeon™ RX 7000 series products. Purple screen may be displayed when using an HP Reverb G2 headset with SteamVR on Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics products. The known issues AMD is still working on are the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon RX 7000 and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. The newly released AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver is now available for download from the AMD Software app. Find the official changelog here.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
