How did they handle murphy on PC?

[Sonic63587]

Is he just the mouse clicker?

[Leonard]

it is like on the xbox/ps3 with a button(the Y button with an xbox controller).It works well but you can't do as many things like the wii u version

No. W controls Murphy. It works well I feel. Adds a new dimension to the gameplay as well.

This is kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ honestly. The mouse should be Murphy.

No, if you play the game, you will understand. Some of the Murphy sequences are very fast-paced and needing to switch one hand from keyboard to mouse at that point simply won't work.

I'd honestly say that Murphy adds something to the game and the way it is done is very well indeed.

I played the WiiU demo at no point do you need to be both Murphy and a regular character. 1-4 people are Rayman/Girl/Globox/whatever and 1 player is Murphy. When playing solo I was given control of Murphy on the gamepad and the computer took out Rayman and added in a CPU Globox.

Replace GamePad with mouse. Done.

On the WiiU, the gamepad pans the view out so the player can see all those parts they can interact with as well as the player to make that work. You riding ♥♥♥♥♥ on the side with a mouse wouldnt work and would suck to try play like that, thats why the developer didnt do that. And in the single player game you play both your charater and control Murphy when prompted and it works perfectly, If your talking about just playing the role of Murphy during multiplayer, thats a WiiU exclusive feature and not even in this game and since there is no online multiplayer, there would be no way to play the aid to other players, that wouldnt work with a single screen.

I'm glad he's not mouse-driven in this version. Certain Olympus levels would be semi-impossible.

not to mention the challenges...

I'm glad they took this to all the platforms, but it's simply INCREDIBLE on the Wii U, nothing else comes close, especially when it comes to good ole Murphy control.

[Sonic63587]

Zooming in on what you need to do is not entirely necessary.

I can very well imagine a scenario where a friend would take the mouse or I'd take the mouse, for a single player doing both it might not work out nicely but I wish they used what was available on PC instead of just porting over the 360 version.

The Vita/WiiU people complain they can't control Murphy like 360/PS3/PC people. The PC people complain they can't control Murphy like Vita/WiiU. Can't win ^__^

They THINK they want Murphy to be manually controlled. I sure they'll think otherwise after actually trying it.

Waitasec, wiiu gamers can't control Murphy ps3/xb360/pc style? How do they play singlepayer?

[Petman]

Yeah, I've played the WiiU's challenge app quite often during the waiting time to release. When I picked up the demo for Legends on PC and played it with a controller, it felt really weird just pressing a button to have everything done for me instead of actually doing it yourself as quick as you can.

During Murphy levels on WiiU you don’t control Rayman at all. The AI takes over for that character and you guide them around the level as Murphy. Personally, I find it a lot more enjoyable, especially in some of the levels where you can tunnel through the terrain. With game pad controls you have to stick to a preset path but on the WiiU you can use Murphy to dig tunnels around obstacles anyway you want.

I’m rather disappointed they didn’t at least give this as an option in the PC version with the mouse.
