Forums - Nintendo - Michel Ancel and Fellow Devs Protest Rayman Legends Delay

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/12/michel-ancel-and-fellow-devs-protest-rayman-legends-delay

Rayman creator and respected game designer Michel Ancel has joined forced with other members of the Rayman Legends development team to protest the game's delay.

Photos were sent to Eurogamer by an anonymous reader showing Ancel and other members of the Rayman dev team holding a banner reading "Sortez nous Rayman. Soutient a Ubi Montpellier," which translates as "Release Rayman. Show support for Ubisoft Montpelier."

In the background of the image crowds can be seen holding banners, one of which holds the game's original release date of February 26th while another is emblazoned with "Wii U"; the console that the game was being exclusively developed for before the delay. In the centre of the image, Rayman can be seen with tears rolling down his face while he says, "SVP" - "Please".

Last week Ubisoft announced that the game was being pushed back to early Septemberin order for the game to release simultaneously on the Wii U, PS3 and Xbox 360. By way of apology, the company announced it would be offering Wii U gamers an exclusive demo of the title, though it seems this didn't do much to placate the game's creators.

We have to admit, it's quite the ballsy career move. IGN Has reached out to Ubisoft for comment and will update the story as soon as we hear anything back.

Good thing the devs aren't have lost contact to the gamers. It must be a really shitty situation for them: putting effort and love into the project, only to see it delay half a year. Nothing is wrong with the game going multiplat, but don't delay such a horrible time a finished product.

LOL @ the exclusive demo. Hadn't seen that before. Ubisoft couldn't change that, as the demo was already out as they delayed the game. I played the demo some time ago and decided, that Rayman may probably worth a buy, although I generally don't like platformers.

Everyone knows that its a business decision but when you have your fans and now developer protesting that decision... something is really wrong!!

This is a much bigger issue than just being a Wii U exclusive.
