I love Child of Light and Rayman Legends, and really want smaller Ubi Art titles to continue to be a thing. The upcoming one about WWI looks great.

Has anything been said about the sales or success of the game? It seemed to take off a bit among YT streamers and the like.

 

[PlumCantaloupe]

I hope so. It was a breath of fresh air.

 

[zeopower6]

I think we'll probably hear about its performance at their E3 conference tbh.

 

[BronsonLee]

In my eyes it was!

 

[marrec]

I'm guessing with the announcement of a Physical and Digital Vita release in multiple territories that it was a success for Ubi.

If it wasn't then they'd just let it die a quiet and slow death.

 

[aaaaa0]

I want more, so it was a success for me.

 

[jwk94]

I hope so. It was a breath of fresh air.

I think you mean light at the end of the tunnel.

I have yet to finish the game, does the story leave room for a sequel? No spoiler please, yes or no will suffice. Thanks.

 

[nib95]

I hope so too. Beautiful, captivating title.

 

[Padinn]

I'm enjoying it. Its....engrossing.

Not a spoiler really... but kind of? :x

Not really, no. At least it doesn't build to one.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Ubisoft deserves a lot of credit here, I love the idea of taking the engine for bigger games, and spreading the cost it took to make them over smaller DD games.

UbiArt being used for Child of Light and Valiant Hearts, and the Far Cry 3 engine being used for Blood Dragon. I want them to do this more, and I want more publishers to start.

Ehhhhh not really. You could tell a new story in the same world, though.

 

[sethcheek]

I'm having more fun than I expected with it.

I don't even mind it not being cross-buy (I'd buy it again), but it's too bad it doesn't support cross-save.

 

[codhand]

Game is great in Coop, 3D, about two hours in. Will definitely see it through.

 

[John Harker]

it's doing well from what I hear. if it keeps selling at a nice pace, everyone should be relatively happy. ps4 doing better than expected, the rest okay to meh

 

[StuBurns]

I was disappointed, it didn't seem to connect to Child of Eden at all.. BOOM

Although I also didn't like it very much. Literally didn't die once, or have to think. If they do another one, I hope they don't tune the difficulty to the skill-set of protozoa.

Wonder if the U's version qualifies as "okay"? Considering Rayman Legends sold well there (...relative to the other platforms and their install bases, at least).

 

[TrueGrime]

It's an amazing game IMO.

 

[Kill_la_Chill]

I decided to go with Transistor instead (limited budget so I had to choose one). I am not regretting my purchase at all. Transistor is amazing. However, I envy those playing Child Of Light. I think in terms of success. We will find out in those top PSN lists. Digital game sales are released by the company itself. I just think it is safe to bet Ubisoft will say something post E3 or during E3.

 

[Exentryk]

I'd love a Child of Light 2. I did my bit by getting the deluxe edition of CoL1.

 

[ohlawd]

if only they added pointer controls. doesn't make sense why they didn't.

 

[Cmerrill]

Should I buy this for PS4? The battles system seemed boring and repetitive in the reviews I watched.

 

[bryehn]

Good game, great music, liked the battle system. Oh, plus it was purdy.

 

[Septimus Prime]

It looks absolutely stunning, but I don't find it very fun, to be honest.

It's still worth the purchase, if only to support UbiArt Engine games, though.

 

[Exentryk]

There have been quite a few save corrupting reports for the PS4 version. I played on the PS3 and had no issues.

Yup. Now take AC or Watch Dogs' assets and engine, and give me a completely original game based on neither IP. I'll give them up to 60 bucks depending on quality, but without any regard for its budget, graphics, setpieces, or anything of the sort.

 

[Gen X]

I love how the retail version is both PS3 & PS4 on the same disc, very cool feature for the consumer.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

It was high up on the Steam best sellers chart for a while and was the 3rd best selling PS4 game on the PSN for the month of April so I'm guessing they're considering it a success.

 

[VaultBoy101]

I really hope so, it's a fabulous game.

 

[Andodalf]

For what it's worth, it didn't well that it's coming to vita. No clue what that means.

 

[Platy]

I hope Ubi Art games flops SO HARD that ubisoft consider make it open source like Ancel wanted =P




...but i looks it is selling pretty good

 

[CriterionDog]

I want a sequel! This game is FANTASTIC. And I don't even play RPG's.

 

[Log4Girlz]

*looks at Steam library*

The fuck...I own this? LOL

 

[Toth]

I hope so. My favorite non-FF RPG released this year. More mainstream RPGs of this ilk would be so welcome.

It helps that the difficulty settings actually allow the game to be easy for a family to enjoy and hard enough for a hard-core player to enjoy as well.

 

[foxuzamaki]

hope the U version is the okay one, I thought this was a title that would favor nintendo's audience, but the PS4 got a bunch of stuff that would put more eyeson it.

 

[Begaria]

I hope it does well! I wouldn't want a sequel, or rather a continuation of Aurora's story. I wouldn't mind more adventures in Lemnuria though. Perhaps a Child of Dark/Fire/Ice/Wind/Water/etc of similar natures. Actually, I really wouldn't mind a "Child of Dark" playing as

Spoiler

Umbra

and her rise to power. That'd be pretty killer. So I guess a prequel could work.

 

[OneUh8]

So far I have loved it. I am near the very end of the game, and have thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I'm sure it would sell better on PC without uPlay, but I guess that applies to any Ubisoft title.

I need to pick it up still.

 

[Kodiak]

It's better if you play on hard.

 

[scytherage]

I wish they released a disc-based copy of this game for PS4. I know they have a PSN code based copy out there, but having it on disc would be more convenient and would save on HDD space.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

I see lots of potential with this game. They should really go all out with a sequel. I love turn based combat.

 

[Shengar]

It's entered Media Create Sales top 20 chart on its release week, so I think it's safe to say as success at least sales-wise.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I love how the retail version is both PS3 & PS4 on the same disc, very cool feature for the consumer.

I thought this game didn't have a retail version???

 

[charlequin]

Although I also didn't like it very much. Literally didn't die once, or have to think.

I guess it's not too much of a surprise given that this is an Ubi game, but Easy on this game is labeled "Normal," and Normal is labeled "Hard."

 

[MisterGrey3000]

hope the U version is the okay one, I thought this was a title that would favor nintendo's audience, but the PS4 got a bunch of stuff that would put more eyeson it.

Same here.
I did my part, I really like the game.
I just need to continue it before MK8 gets here.

 

[Jonnax]

I hope it did. It may send the message out that these kinds of games may be profitable if made on a small scale.

 

[Damigos]

Define "success"

 

[krypt0nian]

Ubi should definitely be proud!

 

[SkeptiMism]

I'm guessing with the announcement of a Physical and Digital Vita release in multiple territories that it was a success for Ubi.

If it wasn't then they'd just let it die a quiet and slow death.

Nah that's not a sign really. Even if it wasn't that big of a success, they'd still likely want to get all out of the potential sales, since porting generally isn't that expensive.

Define "success"

Success in sales obviously. Meaning, if Ubi considers it a success.
