Re: Rayman Legends Retold
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... :|

Re: Rayman Legends Retold
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. 😬

The map is beautiful, even it doesn't make a lot of sense. :P

Hi everyone,

Just to notify all of you, there are some big updates coming soon-ish. ;)

1. The RayTunes site has now been updated.

2. Some soundtracks will be updated after this. That probably starts in a week. This includes:
  • the new, better and more complete Rayman 1 soundtrack
  • the Rayman 1 jaguar music (finally!), ripped by L.M. Murphy :)
  • the better, more complete Rayman 2 soundtrack by Infernus
  • some extra songs for the Rayman M/Arena soundtrack (mainly from the GC version of Rayman Arena) and perhaps a complete re-rip of this
  • the Tonic Trouble soundtrack, even though that's not Rayman
3. FLAC versions of some soundtracks are also coming after all the updates from 2 are done. You'll have the choice to download individual mp3 files or download the complete FLAC soundtrack in one zip file. This includes:
  • The FLAC version of the new Rayman 1 soundtrack
  • FLAC version of the Rayman 2 soundtrack by Infernus
  • FLAC version of the new Rayman M/Arena soundtrack
  • FLAC version of the new RRR soundtrack (already have some wav files ready)
  • FLAC version of the Revolution soundtrack (already have all the wav files ready, but maybe I'll just re-rip this since I've found a better and faster way to rip)
Why not Rayman 3? Because the Rayman 3 soundtrack is a pain to rip. And it's already in pretty good quality if you ask me.

This all means I'll have some work this summer vacation, but you'll see, it's all definitely worth it. :D

And that also means I'll get into ripping again, and who knows, I might just find a way to rip the RRR2, RRRTVP and RGH soundtracks. No promises though.

And as for the Rayman Origins soundtrack... I'm going to try to rip that before it's even out. :P Again, no promises, but I won't give up easily on that one, because, well... I really want that version of the Tetris theme. XD

Tonight, a gameplay video of Rayman Origins was presented by Michel Ancel at the Ubisoft conference at E3 in Los Angeles. The sequence notably presents Rayman and Globox going through ruins, fighting baby dragon chefs in the food world, being chased by sea monsters in an underwater segment, passing in a room with meditating Globoxes and pursuing a Livingstone warship while riding mosquitoes in a shoot'em-up sequence.
