The platformer king returns in his 2D glory!

Rayman Origins, a whimsical, colorful, and phenomenally playable reboot bringing the series back to its 2D roots and allowing to visit its fantastic world with up to three friends in co-op mode, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $9.99 for the next 48 hours!

[url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/rayman_origins][/url]Rayman is an iconic character and his platformer games entertained generations of gamers. As many other platformer series, his adventures also took a turn into the realm of 3D. They were quite successful at that, mind you, but there's something about the run-and-jump genre, that simply makes it work best in two dimensions. Rayman Origins takes us back to the 2D roots of platformer gaming, and reminds us why this kind of graphics and this kind of gameplay is a perfect match. Plus, it introduces a lot of fresh ideas while doing so.

Rayman Origins is an explosion of action, color, fun, and joy. The cartoony 2D graphics pictures a beautiful world full of magic, wonder, and strangeness that will instantly charm its explorers. The fast-paced platforming gameplay paired with perfect controls and masterful level design make this title an instant classic of the platformer genre. The tone of the game is whimsical and lighthearted, but that does not mean it comes without challenge. Luckily, you can bring up to three friends along for the mad chase through the Glade of Dreams in the well-executec co-op mode. Whether you are a Rayman fan looking to be reunited with some of the iconic characters from the series, or a newcomer in the Raymanverse, this game is guaranteed to bring you much fun and joy.

If you've ever enjoyed a platformer game--any platformer game!--there's a great chance you'll instantly fall in love with Rayman Origins. Get it now, DRM-free, for only $9.99 on GOG.com. The half-price offer lasts until Thursday, June 6, at 9:59AM GMT.

kodeen: Legends isn't getting a PC port.

DCT: Origins wasn't either if I recall, yet here it is.As Barry said never say never
I hope that turns out to be the case. I'm just a little wary, since when they opened it up to Xbox & PS3, that would have been the perfect opportunity to announce the PC version as well.

Roman5: People who think this will not come to PC are ... bad
Love you too!

I too would see it's rather certain that Legends will get a PC port sooner or later.

Ubi almost always makes PC ports (even if they're not always good), the predecessor already got one and sold quite well, which also means they already got the engine ported for the PC, and there's going to be a version for the Xbox 360, which has a very similar architecture to the PC.

YES! Two fantastic releases this week! I'm glad I have three job interviews today. GOG is going to bankrupt me lol

Cool, I had lost hope to see it on gog (due to the absence of U-Play DRM) since it was released but now, you made my day. Insta-bought of course :)

With a little chance, maybe we'll get next year "Call Of Juarez : Gunslinger" as it has no uplay drm too...

So Ubisoft released a 2012 game DRM-free. Does that mean they'll release Might & Magic X here too. I ain't downloadan no UPlay on my computer

The catch in this case was that the game was DRM-free anyway. Ubisoft haven't released anything here that wasn't already DRM-free in the past.

Really? I'm sure Ass Creed, Heroes V or those Prince of Persia games probably had at least serial keys/CD checks.

I won't argue the point, but I think most folks do not consider CD keys or CD checks as DRM. By definition, your "RIGHTS" are managed with DRM. CD checks only confirm you have the disk (which means you can install anywhere/anytime and play as long as you have the LOCAL media. Your rights aren't being managed, only your access... and you control the access media).

Of course, I don't care for CD checks since I'm a spendy customer and have lots of CDs to check (therefore making it more cumbersome for me to enjoy all the content I have purchased)... but it still doesn't manage my rights digitally.

CD checks yes, not DRM. And if I recall correctly, Heroes V still needs a serial even here on GOG.

Lol, who is "most folks", do you have any evidence that the majority of people do not consider CD keys/checks to be DRM? Obviously GOG.com themselves consider them to be DRM, or they wouldn't have removed them.

CD checks are DRM.

The only time people start pissing about with semantics is when they're trying to play down the line between digital and physical or claim that Steam's DRM isn't any different than CD checks.

If you want evidence, try and find any reference to "DRM" pre-2004 when DRM started coming about in PC games. Every single reference pre-2004 was to "copy protection".

They have? When did that happen? And why do I have 3 Heroes V cd-keys on my account?
GOG doesn't consider cd-keys as DRM, and most of GOG's clients (aka those who haven't complained about it) don't consider it either.

Oh, and just to say it again, Assassin's Creed: Revelations is DRM free. You need to install UPlay and nothing else. Play offline, no need for serials, no need for accounts, no need for anything. Same with Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

Update: Jamyskis tells me that AC:B does require a one time online activation, post here
MichaelPalin on the other hand was able to install and play the game while his network connection was disabled.

Ass Creed 1 and Far Cry 2 were already available DRM free at Amazon. HoMM V used keys but had no online activations, and was given away for free by some mcgame store for weeks.

Interesting to know. Maybe one for the DRM-free retail list.
