I don't actually know if I want to read you reviews on Wednesday...I think I don't because I want every single moment to be surprising and I don't want to expect what's gonna happen next! I'm getting the game on 15 since im going to download it by now...I will get it NTSC just to wait,unless they speak...do characters talk in RO like in R2/3? If they do,then I'll better wait to get it PAL to hear normal Spanish instead of American Spanish.I don't like having American Spanish voice acting in my games because the pronunciation is just different and there are even words that differ...

From what we've seen, the characters talk in gibberish like in the original versions of Rayman 2.
If I do write my thoughts, I'll put them in transparent if it helps spoilerphobes.

The gibberish sounds a lot like English though ("eckpoint-chay!"). :)

I'll be specific about your question, TK, and sorry if this counts as a spoiler (I think it doesn't) but all of the characters (except for the playable ones) speak in pig latin, and what they say can be read in english with the help of Speech Balloons (yeah, like comic books!). Anyway, they only speak to give simple advices or instructions, and what they say doesn't have anything to do with the main plot, so yeah, the story tells itself graphically, without any dialogue.

P.D: Mr. Dark Thingamajig, I totally like your signature with those sexy fairies *¬*

What the hell is Rayman supposed to be doing at the end of the third video? Did they really have to reduce him to a gibbering, dancing idiot?

A gibbering, dancing idiot with excelent scores in every review to the date. I wouldn't say "reduce".

Yes, I wasn't talking about the game itself. I just think I preferred Rayman's character as a quiet, intelligent hero.

I agree with this very, very much. This is one of the reasons why I might not feel the same Rayman spirit in this game when compared to the others. However it does give room for a lot of character development - if there is any. If not, I'll try to insert some into my game.

Perhaps I should mention that it is normal that if anything is born... or created by a fairy, it isn't intelligent from the first second.

The change of personality is big, and reminds me how mario changed his personality in Brawl to look more badass for players.

Anyway, I don't think changing Rayman's personality was a mistake. Instead, it was a complete success, because kids love wacky characters, and a lot of people that are unfamiliar to the franchise will be attracted by those gorgeous graphics and the exquisite comedy. Anyway, I think Rayman will recover his badass personality for the next 3d platforming game (cofcofRayman4cofcof), because that personality obviously fits more with that kind of games.

I actually quite like how they mafde it look like he changes his personality throughout the games, it makes it look like Rayman really is "Manning-up". I LOVE THE LAUNCH TRAILER! It doesn't reveal spoilers, yet it shows you what to expect. Also, the scores I saw so far are 9 and above. OMG tomorrow is when the demo's coming out! Thank god I have school to make time fly. And damn school to hell for punishing me for no reasons whatsoever! I really think my teacher likes fucking picking on me. :pascontent: NOT HAPPY JAN!

Those Electoons are adorable, tell me thier gonna make plushies out of those!

On a side note I have a friend whos blaming me for all the Rayman Origins advertisments and videos poping up on youtube and such. Why? I have no idea. She proclaimed to love Rayman and tried to even prove herself to be a bigger fan then me A few weeks back(Shes hardly played Rayman 2). Now suddenly she hates the game and everything to do with it. After I showed her the collectors edition and told her I was gonna get it she told me that "The collectors edition was way too expensive" but sometime before that she bragged about how she spent Hundreds on Final Fantasy games and implied that vintage games needed to be expensive in order to be vintage. :boon:

What are these levels we are seeing in the latest daily bubble? I don’t recall reading about an electoon-themed environment…o.o
