Hasta La Gadget!

I clearly remember one of the early debates that concerned the PSOne and the Nintendo 64 – the latter had virtually no load times thanks to the use of a cartridge, while you could grow a beard while waiting for Gran Turismo to load a particular track. Having said that, all consoles in the years after that used some sort of optical media format like DVDs or Blu-ray discs as it was a whole lot more affordable than cartridges, not to mention the huge amount of information that they can carry. Rayman Legends, it seems, will not feature any load times whatsoever on the Sony PS4 and Xbox One, which is an extremely interesting proposition.

Rayman Legends Kisses Goodbye To Load Times On PS4 And Xbox One original content from Ubergizmo.

Rayman Legends is set to be released on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, PC and PS Vita on September 3, which is officially one week from today. It’s been an exceptionally long wait for Wii U owners considering the game was originally expected to be released in February, but as a result, 30 new levels and additional boss battles were added. Since we’re so close to the launch of Rayman Legends, Ubisoft put together a launch trailer which highlights a number of the game’s environments as well as accolades the game has already received from notable publications.

If you have yet to go out and pre-order Rayman Legends, hopefully its launch trailer will help entice you to pick up the game on your platform of choice. I’ve been playing it for the past couple of days and I can tell you it’s a game I know you won’t regret playing if you’re a fan of side-scrolling platformers. There are tons of levels to play through, high scores to achieve, and content to unlock. The challenges will also keep you busy for quite some time as there are daily, weekly and monthly challenges where you can compete against your friends or others around the world to achieve the very best score possible.

Rayman Legends’ delay may have brought the game to additional platforms, but ultimately, fans of Rayman Origins looking for more Rayman goodness are left without their fix, that is, until Ubisoft releases its second demo of the game on the Wii U later this month. But its seven-month delay is being used in the best way possible: by adding more content.

Rayman Legeds’ senior game manager Michael Micholic revealed to Official Nintendo Magazine UK the delay could certainly be seen as a blessing. “Trust me, the things we are adding aren’t minor,” he says. “We’re not talking about adding some polish here and there, but 30 new levels and several new bosses.” (more…)

When you consider how much of a double-edged sword Ubisoft’s recent Rayman Legends announcement was, ultimately fans of the side-scrolling action title are left to suffer as there won’t be any version of the game released until September.

The delay not only affected fans, which we’re sure many of you took to your social network of choice to vent your frustrations, but it also affected the developers behind Rayman Legends. Because of the outpouring of support from its fans, Ubisoft has decided to provide some more Rayman goodness this coming April in the form of an online challenge mode. (more…)
