- Re: Rayman Legends Retold

That's a very good point. I don't think anyone at Ubisoft ever put much thought into where these places existed during the development of the original Legends. If they had, they would most likely have come up with something similar to Retold. But since they hadn't and simply made all these places just paintings come to life due to some mysterious force, technically none of those places ever actually existed. They were most likely just dreamt up by whoever painted them.Hunchman801 wrote: Fri Jun 05, 2026 1:03 pmThe fact that Rayman was literally jumping into paintings in the original Legends made it easy to assume that none of those places actually existed in the real lore.
But by trying to fix that weak narrative, Retold achieves the exact opposite of what I wanted. It cements these locations as canon reality.
And now, they're "real" - or as real as any of the other Rayman places ever were. To be honest, these worlds aren't all that different from Band Land/Picture City/Candy Chateau to me, it's just a big step further with the addition of real humans. But I completely agree that it's pretty jarring to see these next to the fantastical locations from Rayman 2 and 3, and that makes it disappointing that these worlds are now "real" locations.
Have people talked about all the animation bugs in these bits of footage? Of course this is a "pre-beta" build, but even the earliest Origins/Legends footage we'd seen never showed such glaring errors everywhere. I've seen T-posing jacquouilles, Dark Rayman getting stuck in his running animation more often than not, a lack of animation transitions, Rayman standing (not floating) in mid-air... not to mention all the graphics pop-in on faster camera movements. And they have only 4 months to fix all this. Sure explains the internal delay (it was supposed to be released August 27th it seems). I hope that delay will help fix all those issues though, because that's not a lot of time.Xtof60 wrote: Fri Jun 05, 2026 3:41 pmBy the way, here is some gameplay for a couple more invaded levels

There are meant to be 4 new ones in the original game; there is one per world, so do you think this implies more new worlds? Because this music level doesn't fit any world but Teensies In Trouble, but Castle Rock is confirmed to be returning, so we're gonna have multiple per world, or does this imply more worlds

Is that Eat at Joe's beside Kung Foot Island?

Crimson the Hedgehog's 3 Phases, each inspired by Mickey's in Vs Mouse Ultimate.
Whilst the 3rd phase takes inspiration from Fleetway Super Sonic, as well.

Je suis sûr que Retold sera un remake solide et un bon jeu en soi malgré quelques petits défauts, mais le problème, c'est que je n'ai jamais demandé de remake de Legends, et franchement, l'idée ne m'intéresse pas plus que ça.
Le problème, c'est que cette décision me laisse assez inquiet pour l'avenir de la franchise. C'est évident que s'ils ont choisi de faire un remake de Legends, c'est parce qu'ils veulent s'en servir comme nouvelle base pour l'identité de la série à l'avenir. Si on a un jour droit à un vrai Rayman 4 en 3D, il ressemblera bien plus à une version 3D de Legends qu'à l'univers mystérieux qu'on a exploré dans le 2 et 3.
Pas que je déteste pas les jeux UbiArt... Ce sont de super jeux de plateforme, très beaux et avec et des musiques adaptées, mais structurellement et sur le ton, ils ne collent tout simplement pas avec les jeux précédents. Je pourrais encore imaginer que les environnements d'Origins existent quelque part dans le monde de Rayman, mais ceux de Legends ? Les mondes sont tous directement tirés de concepts du monde réel, que ce soit les clichés médiévaux, Jack et le Haricot Magique ou James Bond. Rayman 2, en comparaison, n'avait pas de vrai lien avec notre monde, même s'il s'inspirait vaguement des contes de fées. Je trouve qu'il y avait une beauté particulière dans cet univers uniquement peuplé de créatures étranges et fantastiques, et l'introduction de vrais humains et de parodies du monde réel dans Legends change complètement la nature de l'univers de Rayman pour moi.
Et ce changement d'identité s'étend aussi aux personnages et au lore. Polokus a toujours eu un design bizarre, mais j'aimais beaucoup plus ce concept de dieu créateur mystique et lointain que ce hippie loufoque de Bulleur de Rêves qui vit dans une cabane dans les arbres. Entre Origins qui a une histoire tellement naze et mal racontée que personne ne la comprend vraiment encore aujourd'hui, et Legends qui n'en a pratiquement aucune, ça m'allait très bien de considérer l'époque UbiArt comme une simple séquence de rêve. Le fait que Rayman sautait littéralement dans des tableaux dans le Legends original laissait de toute façon penser qu'aucun de ces endroits n'existait vraiment dans le lore officiel.
Mais en essayant de corriger cette absence de narration, Retold accomplit exactement l'inverse, en faisant de ces lieux des endroits à part entière dans le monde de Rayman. La Croisée des Rêves est maintenant un monde de châteaux forts, de dragons et d'êtres humains, qui ressemble plus à un univers de fantasy générique qu'au monde unique et étrange des premiers jeux.
J'aurais vraiment préféré qu'ils repartent de Rayman 3. Ils auraient pu tourner la page de l'ère UbiArt, ou simplement la laisser exister en parallèle en expliquant que c'était un rêve ou une dimension alternative. Avec Retold, cette option n'est plus envisageable. J'imagine que je dois juste me faire à l'idée que l'univers de Rayman avec lequel j'ai découvert la série a disparu, et que même si on finit par avoir un Rayman 4 en 3D, il ne reviendra pas...

Now that I think about it, it's true that treating the original Legends as just a goofy dream sequence was the perfect excuse for all the medieval tropes and real world parodies. By giving Retold a serious narrative and grounding it with a new map, it completely canonizes the generic fantasy stuff over the weird, alien mystery of the older games.
I already hated the Generilla design, but permanently shifting the tone of the whole universe is an even bigger pill to swallow.
