Rayman Origins > LBP2

LBP2 obviously have a few better features like Online playing with friends, costumes, Create and Share user generated content, but the the Art style and Controls of Rayman Origins shatter the competition. LBP2 was flawed by the aweful Jumping, swinging mechanic and unresponsive 30fps controls. This made it very hard to play it with the PS Move and just timing jumps in general and shooting, which timing is all that matters in platformers. Rayman Origins nailed the responsiveness dead on with it's 60fps and the Jump mechanics blow away LBP2.

LBP2 is a very beautiful game with probably the most advanced cloth, lighting and particle effects on any platformer but Rayman's 60fps take it to another level. Rayman is like a Disney Cartoon 2D movie come to life and very well proves that Art Style > Graphics. The Hand drawn art is Wow, no words to explain it. Go download the Demo for a glimpse but even the Demo doesnt show the game's fullartistic potential. LBP3 can learn a thing or two from Rayman Origins in terms of control responsiveness and jumping, swining mechanics.

This has to be a Joke.... Little Big Planet 2 compares to RPG maker but not Rayman origins.... is this even serious ? :| does SW kills brain cells? :roll:

rayman without the rabbids is no rayman these days.bring the adorible critters back i say

Doesn't take much of a platformer to top the pathetic LBP series. :lol:

And Rayman Origins has platforming in spades.

Basically this. LBP isn't a good platformer so something as excellent looking as Rayman would be a better choice for a platfomring fan atleast in general terms.

LBP2 is the better game, but Rayman is the better platformer.

Most platformers are better than LBP.

Why do people keep doing this? Everybody knows that LBP's platforming mechanics are mediocre at best. Why compare it to games that are focused on that aspect? Besides, you just picked what is easily the best 2D platformer this gen to compare it to. The mechanics in Rayman are perfect... Absolutely perfect. There isn't a move missing or a level that doesn't utilize all of Rayman's amazing platforming moves to their fullest potential.

Rayman Origins is amazing gameplay wise. Although, I still find LBP2 to be the funner, and overall, better game.

Probably, either way platformers aren't very good imo. An action game with platforming is cool, but a platforming focused game is pretty boring.

I'm guessing you never played the original Rayman games.

as far as the platforming goes it's no contest, rayman origins wins in spades. but littlebigplanet is so unique and different than anything else out there and has soooo much user content out there it's really hard for me to choose, i love them both.

Rayman Origins should have been a downloadable title for $20. No way am I paying sixty bucks for that game no matter how good it looks. Bread_or_Decide

it's over 60 levels, it has way more content than most $60 games this gen.

has more levels and playtime than most full price games this gen which is strange.

Yeah. this is the mindset of most consumers. It didn't even crack the top 20 in the UK.:(

It's unfortunate because I liked the demo, even though I'm not really fond of platformers.

I wouldn't get it for full price however. I can see this dropping in prie all too soon, which is sad because it's fresh, beautiful and a complete break from the norm.

if we're comparing the platforming aspect only, than I must say Rayman is better.. However if i have to say which is the best game than its LBP due to its content..

for a PS3 owner if you're into platformers best option would be getting both :)

LBP2 is much more featured game and give you a lot more stuff.

Indeed, Rayman is a game, LBP is a level editor mainly, there is nothing to compare

If focusing on the Platforming aspect, yes, Rayman Origins reigns supreme. Even from the demo, you can tell that the platforming of Rayman Origins is superior.

But, LBP2 is another thing. It's more than just a platformer (which some times could use a little more help) but most of all--it is exactly it's two taglines. "Play. Create. Share." the other being "A platform for games". Sure some games like Mario are really pretty, and Rayman may have better platforming, but LBP is an experience of it's own. How many 2.5 d games do you know?

Yeah, DKCR is a fantastic platformer, but Rayman Origins Simply is much better. If you have any ounce of love for the genre you will play this gem. The level designs are even tighter and the gameplay mechanics in a league of their own... Seriously. There is a greater sense of speed and fuiidity. It plays like an absolute dream!

LBP is barely a platformer anyway.

Stringerboy

Lies. LBP2 was an awesome platformer, it was more than a platformer but it's mechanics were just flawed

"LBP2 obviously have a few better features"

lol. i dont think I need to read anymore of this

The TC mayu have a point, as far as platforming goes (in which he/she should've clearly stated in their topic title), but as far as overal content, LBP2>>>>Rayman Orgins.

In terms of actual platforming, Rayman is way better. But it makes sense, because in LBP the main focus is creating levels, and so the physics of sackboy have to be flexible enough to work around crazy levels. Rayman is built for Ubi's game, LBP2 is built for the owners game

as a platformer, absolutely. Rayman Origins is better. but thats kinda not the point of LBP. not really the best comparison.

Try Rayman Origins VS Donkey Kong Country Returns. then we'll talk

LBP's physics are certainly different than those of Mario and his clones, but that is part of the reason why its so successful at a time when the conventional wisdom was that 2D platformers not named Mario couldn't do well at retail.

If someone is the sort of person who insists that games rehash the same formula ad infinitum and never do anything different then they should run out and buy Rayman, and honestly I hope it fares better at retail than non-Mario 2D games usually do, because I admire its hand drawn art and want to see more such games in the future.

However, I strongly suspect that when the next platformer is released, the inevitable point of comparison will be LBP2 (as opposed to Rayman or Donkey Kong Country or New Super Mario Brothers or Super Meat Boy) because its the only one that does anything different (in terms of physics, world design and of course user generated content).

I think LittleBigPlanet 2 is the best game this generation so I don't think anything could possibly top it. I am really excited to play Rayman Origins, though. I don't think the latest Rayman looks anywhere near as good as LBP2, but it does look very good.

Wow, over generalization. Not being a good platformer =/= broken. Bring broken means it doesn't work, in this case it just sucks. LBP sucks, it works but it sucks, true story.

Ok then guys, wake me up when i can do something like this in Rayman Origins ^^ :

That level is fantastic. I might just have to go and like your level at the next time I start up LBP2.

Its your opinion but you're completely wrong. Just like its my opinion that Childish Gambino is a terrible rapper

LBP1 sold 5 million copies so I'm guessing it doesn't suck as bad as you think it does...

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"] In your humblest and flawed of opinions. LBP is a platformer if it's not a good platformer than it's BROKEN and no body would be enjoying a broken platformer. KevinPlanet

I normally wouldn't say 5 million people have bad taste but . . . Anyway, definitely not wrong, an opinion can't be wrong. Its also fine that you feel Childish Gambino is a terrible rapper, I enjoy his music which is really the only thing that matters. Btw, LBP is trash.

[QUOTE="Pikminmaniac"]

[QUOTE="incuensuocha"]Now I haven't played Rayman Origins yet so I can't say which is the better 2D platformer, but Donkey Kong Country Returns is one of the best 2D platformers I've ever played and definitely the best I've played this gen. For you to say Rayman Origins is EASILY the best 2D platformer this gen is a tall statement. Forgive my skepticism.lordlors

I have no idea myself since I bought the game for my PS3, but I hear it's exactly the same just not in HD

Apples and Oranges. That's like saying Gears of War is a better shooter than Mass Effect.
