Rayman Origins Collector's Edition is exclusive to Europe

by Ludwig Kietzmann on Oct 20th 2011 2:30AM

Ubisoft's limbless helicopter-head hero is appearing with a little more physical fanfare in Europe. The publisher is wrapping his gorgeous return to 2D, Rayman Origins, in a Collector's Edition for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this November. Even the packaging itself is special.

The quality of the 50-page art book will likely match the visuals we've seen coming from the UbiArt framework (which integrates high-resolution illustrations and pairs them with a skeletal animation system), and the soundtrack will probably be described as "whimsical," but forget all that. The box itself folds into a cute diorama depicting mischief makers Rayman and Globox.

Ubisoft has confirmed to Joystiq that this edition of Rayman Origins, currently listed at GBP 54.99 on Amazon UK, is only coming to Europe -- soon to be the origin of quite a few imports, we imagine.

$60 is too much for this game. I'm even less interested in spending more money on top of that for a collector's edition. I'm sure it will be a good game, and I'll definately pick it up at some point.

@Hoops
Yes I do quite enjoy spending my $60 on games filled to the brim with unnecessary DLC and glitches. To hell with games that, god forbid, are actually cheap, fun, stable, and are aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

@pluupy

$60 for about 15 hours of Replay Value

or

$60 for more than 200 Hours of Replay Value.

don't know how you call $60 cheap in your last sentence but then say $60 etc.

@ComedyInK

You guys want so much for $60. I feel lucky to have a new 2-D platformer with real thought behind it and new and fun technology.

They have my money.

Lucky Europeans get an exclusive Sonic bundle now this! I'm jealous.

God damn that box is colorful. It...kinda looks delicious.

@pluupy I would pay extra for edible CE packaging.

This is going to be one of those games that I'll get for Xmas. This fall's catalogue of A titles is too much to wait for the holidays. This, however, will be a pleasant Xmas break play.

i want it, but i don't £55 want it. I'll leave it a month or two and wait til it's £30 - £35...maybe longer...

@flalex05 i agree £55 for a soundtrack and a art book? that is taking the mick and i don't touch ubisoft games anymore because of their DRM practices so i will forget this game even existed.

@(Unverified) batman arkham city CE is around the same price and you get a statue with it!

@(Unverified)

but they give you blank online codes to unlock parts of the single player game

Joystiq, add Wii and 3DS tags to this article.

@tendoboy1984
The tags are at the top. Those platforms aren't mentioned in the article, because they aren't getting the CE.

It's also coming to Australia and New Zealand and probably the rest of the PAL region that every games journalist seems to ignore.

"mischief makers"

Now theres a game that deserves a sequel/remake

Feel cheated ,but then again my fellow gamer across the pond always get cheated ,so to them i say enjoy .

@kmcroc...How are they cheated? they get far more collector editions, exclusive content, and free dlc then we do in North America.

U also get to jump through Warner Bros. hoops to play it. Guess it's a win/win!

Meh not too fussed that wont be released here. Sure I'd buy a cheaper one which just had an art book and sound track. Seems to cost almost double the price of the regular edition.

So what do I need to do to get this in the U.S.? Is it as easy as import and play?

@vidjagamer
I believe the answer is yes if you have a PS3. I think the 360 is region-locked.

I hope a lot of people pick this up for the holiday it looks like a great plat former.
