Rayman Pirate-Community

Exactly! That "papier-mache" look is exactly what gives Rayman 2 its otherworldly, almost dreamlike charm. The technical limitations actually forced the art team to be incredibly creative with their textures and lighting, resulting in a world that feels genuinely mystical and handcrafted. 😌

This is ...

I don't mind it too much because this level of detail won't really be visible in the game, but I feel that a lot of his identity gets lost when they try to over-render his face like that. Making everything hyper-detailed and glossy isn't always better.

C'est tellement frustrant quand on y pense... 😩

Le coup du quatrième gardien manquant dans Rayman 2, c'est vraiment l'exemple parfait. Le jeu reste un chef-d'oeuvre absolu, mais on sent bien que la dernière ligne droite a été expédiée. Apprendre qu'ils avaient prévu une structure beaucoup plus ...

100% d'accord avec vous deux.

Le fait d'ancrer Legends dans la réalité avec cette nouvelle carte et ces cinématiques détruit complètement la seule excuse qui rendait le jeu original tolérable niveau lore : l'idée que c'était juste un rêve ou des mondes peints dans des tableaux. En essayant de lui ...

That's a good point about the Jano theory. As much as I love the idea of tying the story back to the Cave of Bad Dreams, Jano is pretty big. It is really hard to imagine them taking a giant cyclopean monster with skeletal arms and shrinking him down into a tiny cloaked figure. The physical ...

This was my way to summarize Retold's style.

Origins is already a very ambitious reinvention of Rayman 1, sort of... Legends has bigger issues we think we could solve. For example, the navigation with the gallery of paintings was a bit on the weaker side.
Wait, what? Are they seriously arguing that Origins didn't need to be the priority ...

Well, the State of Play happened, and it is definitely not a 4chan hoax lol.

Seeing the game in motion just confirms all the fears I had about the art direction. The sterilizing effect of this remake is real. Rayman's separated eyes, Globox's weird textured skin, and that hyper-realistic mobile ...

Am I the only one who doesn’t think it looks that bad? Especially when you compare it to the CGI trailer. I really love the green eyes as well!!

(Glad they toned down certain *aspects* ahem of her body, I thought it was a bit odd for a literal barbarian with the face of 9 year old to be showing ...

Okay, wow. Those screenshots look absolutely incredible.

But does this mean that hyper-realistic Betilla is for real? I have no words for this.

Yeah, that's a bit disappointing. I want to remain fairly optimistic because either way it may end up being a fairly different experience from the original game with the new story and the 3D segments. Maybe they improved the way the different worlds were structured because I always felt like ...

Ubisoft's official account on Xiaohongshu released a news about a prize winning trial activity earlier this year, which specifically mentioned platformer and multiplayer cooperation.

That Chinese playtest listing is interesting and adds up with the Retold thing.



Any clue as to who will be ...

To be honest, if RayGamer's theory ends up being right and this entire 'Retold' thing is just a massive 4chan hoax, I don't think I'd even be mad. Given how polarizing and 'off' these leaked 3D designs have looked, a hoax might actually be a blessing in disguise lol.

Either way, June 2nd is going ...

Rayman redesign leaked (here with a familiar skin)

I know it always takes some time to get used to a new design, and there's the fact that it's a costume, not the main design, but this weirds me out a little.

This looks less like Rayman and more like a generic ...

-This fails, and Ubisoft keeps disregarding Rayman for more decades except to bring in more mobiley games or whatever cheap techbro slop will be trendy by then.
-This succeeds, and Ubisoft sees it as Legends being yet again the only thing Rayman fans want, and thus we're doomed to further decades ...

I can't believe they chose Legends over Rayman 2 or 3. We seriously need another 3D entry in the series.

Agreed. Even if they didn't do full remakes, they could have just done simple remasters like they did with Beyond Good & Evil or the Prince of Persia trilogy. Rayman 2 and 3 would be amazing ...
