Rayman has been going under the radar for quite some time, allowing for the Rabbids to get center stage in most of the recent franchise releases. With Rayman Origins, however, we see an amazingly colourful game very much akin to the releases of old, showing lovingly made 2D artwork and animations in a superbly rendered world.
Something that caught my eye is just how detailed the animations look like; Rayman Origins has done something that most recent games haven’t: show me that the characters in the world are having fun being played with. Connected to that is the fact that the game is capable of 4-player Co-op.
You can watch some Gamescom footage of TotalBiscuit playing the game here.
The game will be released on November 15, 2011 in North America, November 24, 2011 in Australia and November 25, 2011 in Europe for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii. It will also be released for Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita on a later date.
