Zero hype. I'm not touching it with a ten-foot pole.

I see where you're coming from. The thing is, most of those character descriptions were random jokes that added no value to the lore in my opinion, and often, they even added to the confusion. I mean, seriously, Shadow Ray? :confus:

Shadow Ray was them trolling us for sure :hap: My hopes for this kinda align with RayGamer's… I drew the princesses as separate characters enough times back in the day that it would still hurt if they were retconned into mere skins :fou:

Yep, they were either getting disgustingly lazy (which isn't out of the ordinary for Ubisoft, need I remind y'all :mefiant:) or intentionally messing with us with Shadow Ray. If they wanted to make a black-and-white Rayperson who loved silent films, I would have preferred if they went with a grayscale design for him and gave him a noir detective outfit or something. If/when I get better at making art from my head, I might be able to make a redesign concept for the guy, but that's not quite in my repertoire at the moment. :oops2:

I wonder if Raybox will be added in RLR since I've been imagining him being there in either his classic looks, the red sweater or his gothic looks for some reason. And now that I've checked the recommended requirements for the device, I now wonder if I'll ever get to play the game without lags (probably not), I really wanna know how it's gonna feel like. Not much hope, but I still have it. And yea, regarding the descriptions of the skins, Raybox's one is that kind of descriptions you get on April 1st, though it's one of the important parts for my AUs and headcanons, but I digress.

Indeed, but that wasn't even their intention. The only reason they came up with that story is because they needed to write something after shamelessly reusing the Dark Rayman sprites from Rayman Legends. :P

Indeed. :oops2: I guess Rayomz will have nails on his toes too.

In the meantime, I have pre-ordered the Steam version as well. It will make recordings a much easier task. :)

I want to, but I'm still worried about the system requirements :mefiant: I mean, Half-Life Alyx also lists a 7th-gen Core processor in its minimum requirements, but I was still able to run it (albeit with the NoVR mod, and with some instability), so I suppose it should be fine… right? :mefiant:

Ahh.. no worries, If you want to break a sweat on the game the only thing you would need is an RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX-5600 XT 6GB with at least 16GB of R AM, and a Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X is also the recommended processor

Picked up mines on PlayStation 5!! I didn't really want to pre-order on PC because I prefer playing Ubiart Rayman games on consoles and because I didn't want to face the challenge with both Denuvo and Uplay in general

Is there going to be version-exclusive content, or it's just down to our personal preferences?

So far no one has confirmed about the existence of exclusive content.

I like it better this way. Why not offer the same experience to all players?

Agreed; however, realistically speaking, if the leaks are true and there will be an Astro Bot skin in Retold, it will almost certainly be exclusive to the PS5 version. Additionally, if they bring back the Ray and Glob Plumber skins (which I hope they do), they'll obviously be exclusive to the Switch 2 version. So I imagine there will be some console-exclusive content if the leaks are true, but I think it'll just be limited to cosmetics like in the OG Legends.
