’s Rayman series came back with a vengeance with the November, 2011 console release of , the first proper Rayman game since 2005′s Hoodlum’s Revenge for Game Boy Advance. Luckily, Ubisoft hasn’t forgotten about the that also enjoy a good platformer.

 

Rayman Origins will be available for PC on March 29, 2012, a little more than two months from now, and will have no pesky DRM.

 

If you don’t have any idea what Rayman games are like, I highly suggest you check out some gameplay videos on YouTube. Here’s Ubisoft’s blurb from the press release:

Invoked by the Fairy Council, Rayman sets out on an action-packed adventure to save the Glade of Dreams from “nefurrious” Darktoons. To help him, he teams up with his best friend, Globox, and two crafty wizards, the Teensies.Players can control Rayman in the solo campaign, or have up to three friends join the game at any time as Globox or as one of the two Teensies in the offline multiplayer mode. Rayman Origins has over 60 vast levels of 2D platforming gameplay to explore suited for all ages and playing styles.  Players can unlock unique abilities as they progress though the adventure and return to previous levels to discover new paths and secrets.

 

If you pre-order through participating online retailers, you’ll get a free downloadable copy of Rayman 2! No word yet on which retailers will be participating.

    I Am not sure if it really is yet another video game in the tale line, or if it can be just a remaster/remake of the original Rayman sport for the PS1.

    Which game is better? Rayman is back again following a long, horrible, rabbit crammed hiatus, but is his most current outing plenty of to defeat marios newest sidescroller?

    If I turn the Wii off, does my game automatically save? I don’t want to lose what I’ve already done…

  4. Console gamers always says PC gamers aren’t real gamers despite the fact that the community for PC gaming is bigger and has less little kids. Is it just because they can’t afford to buy a gaming PC that they are jealous or something?
    PC games cost the same if not more than console games…?

    Don’t the majority of games cost $60 regardless of what they’re for? And sorry for double post glitch.

  5. I have Windows 7, and although i’m not too sure what else to put into this question… i also have a dell laptop. my problem is high ping in team fortress 2, and in my From Dust game, the game moves slow and laggy. What can i change on my settings and will these changes effect my computer negatively elsewhere?

  6. I know its a little late to ask, but I still haven’t figured it out.
    This is strange, considering that their franchise got famous and originated from PC.

    Lack of dedicated server, no anti hacks, crappy spawn system, $10 more for what PC games cost, bad text system near end of match, no cheats, etc

  7. I never gamed on PC but seems PC gamers always moan when a game comes to console why is this aint it time we let PC gamers just do one and buy a console and aint it PC GAMING more expensive all the upgrading crap
