Rayman 4 is currently in the planning stages at Ubisoft and will presumably use the same game engine as the sumptuous Rayman Legends Retold, which was fully unveiled yesterday during the State of Play broadcast. One of the leakers who revealed Rayman Legends Retold has said that Ubisoft is depending on strong sales of Rayman Legends Retold before it fully commits to the new Rayman game project.
Quick reminder, Ubisoft has already made preliminary plans to develop Rayman 4 but will depends on Rayman Legends Retold success. Let’s all support that franchises fellas. We all deserve it ❤️
The team on this remake seem to be extremely talented and incredibly passionate and proud to be making Rayman. This is definitely a test to see if they’re the right fit and from the trailer alone they’ve passed with flying colors. I hope this sells like crazy.
I always see people asking why we’re getting remakes instead of new games… and it’s like, duh a lot of bigger companies are sorting things out internally or with external teams to have a dedicated team for a particular series. Same thing with Star Fox lol, this is how we get new games in smaller dormant franchises
My opinion on this remake completely flipped when I saw it. It’s very unnessary, but it looks so good! I will buy this day one not only for hope for Rayman 4, not only to support the incredible team behind this, not only because it’s an incredible deal, but also because Rayman legends is one of the greatest games of all time. Go try out the original, it goes on sale for like 5$ often on multiple stores.
I’ve never understood this logic from developers.
“Want a new product?! Okay prove it by buying a product you’ve already bought again!”
Especially the quote in the article is tragic. Basically saying, “We gotta support this franchise by buying the remake or it’s our fault it dies!”
I suspect it is easier for developers to iterate on an already made game as opposed to creating a new title.
But I agree it is strange. I already own Rayman legends and am not really interested in purchasing it again. I personally would like to see Rayman 4.
I think it’s pointless for them to remake a great game, so I don’t play Ubisoft games other than Rayman 4 and 2D Prince of Persia.
I feel this is all BS to sell the game they always do this and the thing the promise will happen if the other thing does well never happens.
Seconded. Publishers say this every time they announce a remake or remaster.
Of course they’d put a new game hostage. It’s the scummiest move ever.
I would have gladly bought it since ive been a fan since the first game came out, but im not wasting money on a game key or a ps5 disc that requires an online connection to install. No reason for that lazy/cheap BS when they can get assassin creeds to fit on a bluray.
Actually PS5 Disc Games don’t require an internet connection. I tested this when I pre-ordered Lego Batman physical. When I got the game I turned my internet connection off and put in the disc and it still installed on the console.
There is game data on the discs & game-key cards. Depending on how much data they can store, you might need internet to download the rest of the game. Or maybe you won’t. A game that’s 100gb is gonna have 60gb on a 60gb game-key card with the remaining 40gb from the internet. If the game’s 40gb, a 60gb game-key card is gonna have the whole game on it. Not counting DLC and update data, that is. But those are obviously gonna need an internet connection.
I’m sick of developers saying this. Do NOT pity-farm sales for your game… 🙄
It’s a lie. They say this when they’ve calculated that a remake at half the cost will sell roughly to the same group of players that a brand new game will. Same with Star Fox except Nintendo hasn’t felt the need to add that disingenuous line as a pressure tactic. Sure, if a game explodes in sales they’ll make that new game, but just know that they’ve already made that assessment and decided to save on development costs
Wow, that trailer really looks phenomenal to me!!
What makes me curious is: I expected this to be a simple copy (with updated graphics) of the original Rayman Legends. But looking at the trailer it seems like they really added new content like extra levels, play modes (dragon riding!) and even a new villain (the little hooded guy) which weren’t there in the previous game??
