![]() ![]() Many of the platformers I play today feel as if they focus on the challenge aspect of the genre can you time your jump right to make it to the next platform or get the fastest time. Each level is carefully crafted and executed. It’s all very straightforward, yet there’s something more there. The more Teensies you grab, the more levels you unlock. The goal in each level is to make it through by running, jumping, floating, and even swimming, all the while collecting the imprisoned Teensies along the way. The main campaign takes Rayman and friends across five different worlds spanning 48 levels. It is simply (beautifully), purely (wonderfully), a platformer that is a platformer. It doesn't try to tell a serious story, or do something clever with the meta-game or ludonarrative dissonance. Rayman Legends feels like the video game world equivalent. One of the most common phrases I heard for the most recent Muppets movie was that it was "not cynical " in other words, that it just had fun and didn't look at the world with a large grain of salt in its mouth and a chip on its shoulder. We decided it was about time for us to finally put the little guy through his paces. While Rayman Legends was released last fall for all current gen systems, it's seen a recent release on the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4.

A scratching sound will even emit from the DualShock 4.įinally, the PS4 version of Rayman Legends includes Remote Play support, allowing users to play the full game on their PS Vita. The game also employs the touchpad as a means to allow you to virtually scratch in-game tickets. Meanwhile, the PS4 version of Rayman Legends uses the DualShock 4's touchpad to enable an all-new camera mode that players can use to snap screenshots and share them with friends. These are in addition to the existing standard achievements carried forward from the Xbox 360 version. On the Xbox One, you'll be able to earn 10 time-limited achievements by completing a set of challenges in a limited amount of time, in this case one week. "Navigating in the game now feels smoother and your gaming experience is never stopped by loading transitions." "Jumping in and out of a level has never been faster and it's a great feeling to have such a seamless experience," Morel said. The enhanced power of the new machines has also allowed Ubisoft to do away with loading times when players enter or exit a level, lead designer Emile Morel said. In addition, both new versions of the game feature "even sharper" visuals thanks to the power of the Xbox One and PS4. Rayman Legends for the Xbox One and PS4 will include numerous features and content not found in the other versions, including new Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, and Splinter Cell-inspired playable characters available to players in the Heroes Gallery. It is a sequel to 2011's Rayman Origins, which was widely praised by critics. Rayman Legends was originally announced as a Wii U exclusive, but has since seen release on a multitude of platforms, including the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and PlayStation Vita. The game now launches in Europe on February 20. ![]() The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Ubisoft's colorful platformer Rayman Legends will launch on February 18 in North America, one week ahead of their previously scheduled February 25 release dates, Ubisoft announced today on its blog.
