Subtitles, really? Wow. If I took the time and effort to do a video in my second language, I'd be f*cking offended at the editors for feeling the need to add that in.

Completely unnecessary.

Yeah, the subtitle thing is kind of an asshole move.

Has it been said if this is coming at launch or is it one of the nebulous "launch window" games?

My wife needs subtitles when non-English speakers speak English. Or for British English. But her native language is French, so of course this is the one accent she doesn't need subtitles for...

That "It's good?" moment at the end is the new "Did you rike it?"

Michel Ancel - probably one of the most under-appreciated names in gaming.

Just make Beyond Good and Evil 2 Monsieur Ancel. I'll be waiting...

Can you play Rayman Legends as a Singleplayer game? I don't have friends who just want to be an invincible pixie thing, we'd rather all play together (or alone)

Of course you can play single player, just certain extra content won't be playable, or certain levels wont be as enhanced as they could be

Ah great, thanks. I know this was actually a pretty dumb question but I was just curios how certain things will work without pixie dude. That some stuff wont be playable is not so great, but whatever. Game just looks so damn awesome

Man I know this is a must-play for me, even though the Wii U has little to offer at launch...I gotta get it.

He could have just said it's good from the start and save himself 2 minutes.

Those subtitles are actively insulting.

His English is perfectly understandably.

Ok, I wasn't into this so much. But that last bit about the music syncing up to gameplay and vice versa, that was my favorite thing about Rez. It will be a good addition, especially for the more linear jumping sections.

@ChrisTaran: Haha yeah, wow, I couldn't believe it when they threw up the subtitles. I wonder if they'll bring out a translator should he ever speak at E3 again.

Michel Ancel is the most lovable guy ever. Except for MAYBE Miyamoto.

Didn't even have to read the subtitles once, c'mon Ubisoft don't be insulting him. That shield gameplay looks great, I might have to buy the Wii U just for this game.

Subtitles are really unnecessary, his accent is pretty good. But anyway, I'm still torn on whether or not I'm want to play this game on the Wii U or not.
