Rayman legends no longer Wii U exclusive and Wii u version delayed

No offense but if you were worried about the game performing poorly, making multiplat was the only way it would've done better. As much as we hate to admit it, the Wii U isn't selling stellar, and more people would buy the PS3/360 versions most likely.
I would argue that less people would buy the PS3/360 versions because there isn't much of a market for 2D platformers unlike Nintendo systems.

What Ubisoft should have did was release the game as a timed exclusive to satisfy the Nintendo fans and casuals who would have got it while later releasing it on the 360/PS3/PC to maximize sales.

Didn't origins do just fine on the PS3 and 360 though?

Also, for everyone complaining about the delay - you guys have nothing on Valve fans. Half-Life 3's been delayed so hard it hasn't even been announced.

Delays suck, sure, but maybe some perspective would be nice.

Half-Life 3 hasn't been delayed in it's finished state because they're working on a port for a simultaneous release... And the first game, Half-Life... was released 1998 for Windows, but January 25th 2013 for Mac! They could've delayed the Windows version up until now :creep: <-- sarcastic smart-ass-troll face

Nah, but in all seriousness, Ubi made a douche bag move to the Wii U audience. That's what they've done.
Will it affect their sales? Maybe and probably not. Not in the short run. But this might render in fewer Wii U sales, and (which can be compensated by the PS360 sales for sure) -> Ubi is hesitant at releasing a few Wii U games -> poor sales -> Ubi makes no gaemz -> lost potential sales... something like that.

Shit, the demo proves the game is nearly finished, so now Ubisoft decides to go and fuck over all those people who had pre-ordered the game and those anticipating it. I am glad I didn't pre-order it, because now they are going to lose a game sale. Hopefully everyone else does the same and tells Ubisoft to go screw themselves.

I don't know why but Rayman Origins left a bad taste sorry, bad controls, music, art and the level design wasn't all that special. I just didn't like it much tbh.
Still hoping that Legends will fix all the problems the original had for me, at least they got rid of the horrible adobe flash style visuals.

Wii U is pretty much pulling a Vita right now, I probably won't get one until much later anyway so a delayed release isn't bothering me in the slightest. Gotta hate Ubisoft's attitude though.

    Family guy is worth 300mill south parks worth 1Bill according to the interwebs
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, probably cuz family guy is more disliked compared to south park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It just does the same formula south park can press buttons without going overboard
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And bc most of the family guy budget is spent on the voice actors rather than on the animation

    Southpark could spend 30k on a animated dick and people would laugh at it
