I don't mean to be a dick. But why does everyone hate when something goes multiplatform? I am happy that more people get to play it!

It's not the fact that the game is going multiplatform, it's the fact that even the timed exclusive has been eliminated and the game has been delayed because of the other consoles. I don't care that other platforms are going to get it (I figured it was going to happen eventually), but as a Wii U/PC gamer and knowing that it isn't coming to the PC ever, not even getting the game on the promised release day two months after it was delayed the first time, is insulting.

I am the only one hoping it gets released on PC? :unsure:
I doubt it will see a PC release, Origins didn't do so well on the PC sales wise compared to the other platforms it was on.

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 understand the anger, but purposely making the game possibly fail even more when you would have normally bought the game is pretty mess up.



Wii U is pretty much pulling a vita 3ds 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.
It isn't doing that bad. :P

I am wondering why people are comparing the Wii-U and the Vita.... The Vita has been out for over a year and the Wii-U has been out for like 4 months, they are pretty much tied for sales right now. So the Wii-U is selling at 3X the rate of the Vita so far. (Not that 3X the Vita is that great...)

I feel like something like this happened before.
Bayonneta 2 being exclusive to WiiU
PS3 and XBOX games RAGING THE HELL OUT OF NINTENDO LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW!
And now:
Rayman Legends no longer being exclusive and massively delayed
Ninty fans raging at ubisoft... like the world is ending tmr.
More to the point though, This is is seriously a stab in the back for lots of Nintendo fans. After all, they were about to play it this month... and now they are not. Feels like they could have made a timed exclusive. I also find it a bit risky 'cause of the fact that other big games are coming out and it probably won't sell as well as they thought.
And then there's Nintendo's predicament, they just lost a good exclusive, which isn't exactly good for the console itself.

I would say "Inb4Bayonetta2exclusivityisalsolost" but then Nintendo itself is publishing it, which is a smart move.

Confirmation.
There are no issues with the game development. All of the information was in the press release, the only reason for the delay is to release on multiple platforms. We usually release all of our platforms simultaneously (aside from PC). We’ve made special exception sometimes in the past but it’s definitely just on a case by case basis and not our standard practice. In this case, Ubisoft recently decided they wanted to release the game on multiple platforms so the decision was made to launch them all at the same time rather than separately. I know it’s not an elaborate, ‘convincing’ answer, but it’s the simple truth.

Here are dev responses for the team.
I completely understand you but you have to understand one thing. This is not a decision taken by the development team, this comes from really really high up, so please don’t pick on the game.

If you’re pissed, imagine how we feel. Think on the situation, we’ve been making overtime with this game practically since May preparing E3, and then almost a demo per month (gamescon, Wii U presentation, shops, eShop, etc…) and at the same time trying to actually finish the game. We had a first delay because it was obvious we couldn’t finish on time but we gave it all to be there on February. What face do you think we had when the week we had to close the game we’re being told it’s not going to be released? I couldn’t believe it.

For practical matters, you’ll have to wait for some months for the game to be released and will most likely serve for more content to be added and do it better. For us, this means we’ve spent 6 months barely seeing our wifes, kids, and friends for nothing because, after all, such a haste wasn’t needed. Believe it, it was a hell to swallow these news.

Even then I’m firm in what I said back in the day, Rayman Legends is an excellent game and will still be, and the team that’s making it doesn’t deserve to have your back turned on them just because some men in ties one day took a wrong choice. This industry is really that shitty

I just went to the Ubisoft website to find an email link or something, to the corporate like Nintendo has on their site, I can't find anything. Their main HQ is Montpellier, but I can't find an email at all. Can someone help me out?

Someone just pointed this out, and that it could actually be Microsoft's fault for the delay:

http://www.edge-online.com/news/microsoft-demands-simultaneous-multiplatform-releases/

If that's the reason why, publishers have no guts.
If all the publishers just went, "Pff, fine, I'll release on PS3/Wii U hassle-free then, and tell all the fans why they've been disappointed", 360 would be utterly and totally screwed not getting anything, they'd change that rule in a flash, but no, publishers have no guts, and don't want to risk getting less sales. Not sure if they'd make an exception or whatever for rayman anyway, seeing, well, its a hit against Nintendo if they accept it, fans of the game on the console are happy. It just seems kinda, desperate and attention seeking of Microsoft to do this, ha ha. "DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT THE XBOX!!! XBOX IS NO.1! RELEASE FOR IT FIRST OR NOTHING!"
