but here i have a quote from Emile Morel: lead game designer.
This question has finally been answered… sort of. In a developer demo with Nintendo World Report, the game’s lead game designer Emile Morel is asked: “Can you play this game alone with just the GamePad, having the computer control the extra features?” “Yes you can,” replied Morel. “You play controlling Murphy with the GamePad and on the screen of the TV (and also on the screen of the GamePad) you have an automatic Rayman controlled by an AI. Basically you have to open the paths for him, you have to kill enemies for him, to make sure he survives, so you’re basically the protector of Rayman.” Hang on a minute. Given the choice we’d rather play as Rayman than play as his poxy helper. It’s called Rayman Legends, not Murphy Saves The Day. Emile continued: “In these levels you can’t play as Rayman, you have to play as Murphy. But the whole game is not like this. You have specific levels for Murphy and the GamePad and also more classic levels when you are playing as Rayman from beginning to end. I would say half of the game… maybe not half of the game but a good portion of the game, you will have to play as Murphy.” |
F--K. The entire Murfy gimmick seems like a bad idea to me. You should be able to complete the entire level with just Rayman but it's easier if you have someone playing as Murfy (this way it can be a difficult platformer but adults could assist kids/spouses with murfy making it more accessible). Alternatively, murfy should have lives and challenges to avoid making it more challenging and fun to play as him. From what I've played being murfy all the time would get boring fast.
Not fun for more than one. Just fun for one when you have an assist.
