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. (????)?? ???

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
