Re: Rayman Legends Retold
Ubisoft posted an article for Kung Foot Evo on their blog! Not much to write home about on the forum, but I figure it's worth a read nonetheless.

Wow, and it even uses the same font as the Rayman Raving Rabbids logo 5 YEARS EARLIER

Re: Please introduce yourself here
Doing this during the weekend may not have been the greatest idea but oh well - Hello everyone! I'm AnonymousToad and I've been a Rayman fan ever since I was little, even though things in life had me drifting away for a while but the hype for Legends Retold brought me back once more.
I'm a wanna be artist and illustrator, I like to draw, write and sing but somehow manage to do nothing...
I've been lurking in the shadow for quite some time due to my shyness but decided that the this Community was a very cool place to be a Rayman fan and you guys did incredible things in keeping the flame alive so I'm quite honored to join ^^
Sooooo... Yeah, very happy to meet you!

Re: MakaryGlobsky's art
I think I like your design for Globox better than the one from Retold! :D

Re: Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E.
Also gonna share the link to the archive I have made recently of both Closed Beta and Early Access of the game, since it got abandoned by Ubisoft themselves anyway and nobody else seemed to care enough to preserve stuff from this game, so I did it by myself.
https://archive.org/details/laserhawk-cbt-ea

I did it separately, so the OG post wouldn't be wayyy too long, so that's why.

Closed Beta without Ubi link is launchable, but because its servers have been dead long time ago, it just reverts to black screen. Wuth Ubi link the game just crashes, but on my older laptop, where it was installed already - it just reuses the Early Access's link, since I think it just takes the place of Closed Beta version of it.
Alsl Closed Beta's Ubi link was removed by Ubisoft themselves, not me, when they removed the game from the launcher, thus making it kinda playable again, because before that - you had to get a key that you no longer have access to after they ended Closed Beta at September.

Early Access is playable, but it's still connected to Ubisoft Connect for now, so unfortunately I don't know how to crack it. It also got Easy Anti-Cheat on it as well, so it can also complicate things of cracking it too.

The only thing I changed in Closed Beta's files was the config file with only one line changed from 0 to 1, since I tried to get to Debug mode of it, but couldn't get to it since I didn't have much knowledge to pull it off unfortunately, so yeah, everything else is not modified in any way and preserved as it is.

Re: Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E.
Bringing some updates to this topic and also gonna need to update the article for this game on RayWiki, but the game's servers recently died in 30th June, so... Rest in piss, NFT game!
And also a huge amount of text, sorry for any mistakes here, English isn't my first language! :(

The game had like 6 seasons in comparison to the show's 1 season only in a span of two years of its life. I know it's not really comparable since the seasons are very different for games and shows, but considering how much Ubisoft were invested in this NFT crypto stuff along for Champions Tactics (which they also killed off any crypto-related stuff for this game too in span of 1-2 months before killing Laserhawk game), you can tell they really wanted it badly to be this new crypto transmedia franchise. :hinhinhin:

Not only they failed it pretty badly, but like even the crypto bros didn't care much for this game and they were here for images and just for any crypto stuff, despite the PR for them and being at these crypto conventions. Like the online for this game was empty most of time from my experience, since you were fighting with bots most of time instead of people, I only saw real people in very few matches and that's where I actually kinda enjoyed it aside from the game's very crappy shooting. Same situation that was in Closed Beta - same thing for Early Access. I remember fighting with some crypto bros from Eden Online Discord server in the game, but only like 1-2 people, that's all.

I would also mention the fans' reaction to this game was extremely negative at the beginning to the point of getting that infamous tweet about replacing Rayman from official Eden Online Twitter account. But then Laserhawk fandom' is just kinda... Forgot about it? Or at least they ignore as hard as possible about the game, which is not really great, since these kind of things should be called out a lot constantly imo. And not only that, Eden Online was baiting lots of fans (and also targeting Rayfrog shippers, aka Ramon/Rayman x Bullfrog) constantly and successfully too, each time they were putting tweets with these two together and getting lots of interactions in comparison to their tweets about the game itself and crypto stuff in it.
Like, I know how people mostly just care only for Ramon and Bullfrog in the show, with some not even knowing about Dolph Laserhawk despite being literally the main protagonist and the show being called after him, so, gonna be honest, but come on, dude??? Why people were eating up that crap from the company who turned their beloved show into failed crypto slop, as soon as they saw their favourite characters' posts from tha account? And not many people were calling this out unfortunately. :pfff:

But going back to this game, did it work as a game? Not really, very few people were genuinely playing and most of time it's just fighting with bots in the game instead of real people. Did work as this transmedia thing? Also not at all, the only transmedia experience was with doing voting for in-game features, but even that could be done by your own NFT, if you don't bother to vote.... Yes, Ubisoft wrote a huge thing to make it, so your own NFTs you wasted your money on it would vofe for you, if you're either too lazy or didn't get to vote by yourself in time. And it's all AI powered too as well. :pascontent:
SPEAKING OF AI, they relied on it a lot, I know that company named LibertAI was helping them out with it and they made an article about it on Twitter too. They used AI for NFTs, so that's why they looked worse than crappy pixel art, they also used it to make this DedSec (Watch Dogs' thing) event with modified ChatGPT-like thing on it, as the theme of it was hacking into Eden's systems, and they also used AI to turn those NFTs into glorified Character.AI chatbots, but instead it's worse and it's locked behind crypto. And they got plans to have this feature being a thing even after the game is dead. :?
And they also allowed AI art for art contests for their Eden Online Discord server, so while second art contest caused a huge backlash about it on Twitter, later contests were chill... Most because almost no people were drawing for it anymore, so crypto bros were either using AI to generate some random art for the game (and some were actually winning with that!!), or they just were stealing artworks and very poorly edited it. Why there was no more backlash against it by the fans of the show, considering that Ubisoft went back to allowinf AI art for art contests despite the backlash they got with second art contest? Why people just gave up about it? That's concerning thing I noticed here.

I won't even mention the Discord server, that was full of crypto bros and underage Laserhawk fans, along with weirdos from the fandom all in one place - it was an terrible mix of possible combination of people in it.
And speaking of kids, they were allowed to be in the server and also for their Web3 Ubisoft server too, despite that you can only legally deal with any crypto stuff in the age of 18. So why the kids were allowed to be here along with crypto bros in their 30s and 40s? Who though it was a great idea to let kids to be here? :pfff:

So yeah, the existence of this game was weird and controversial from the start and I have a hunch that crypto stuff for this show was planned for a while, at least closer to the show's release or end of its production, since they already had channels for it in their Web3 server, they were also promoting citizenship thing y(that would later turn out to be NFTs, that would be renamed as Niji Warriors) on early version of official website, that mentioned minting the citizenship you got for yourself, and crypto news were also sharing early information about the game as well, long before we had any proper information from Eden Online itself, since in the news, it used to be known as Captain Laserhawk: the Eden Online experience. Not mentioning the leaked ratings for it, where it was called Niji Warrior, and considering that Closed Beta's executable is called "Captain Laserhawk Niji Warrior" and its content folder being also called "Niji Content", it's quite obvious it was supposed to be this game.

Also sorry for this enormous wall of text lmao, I did lot of research into this.

Re: Rayman Legends Retold
I really think they overdid it with the eye sockets.

Re: Rayman merchandise
Hi everyone I came across this on Leboncoin, fortunately the seller cross listed it onto French Rakuten. I didn't have a French phone number to register an account with, for Leboncoin. I made an BIN/CUE disc image of it, data analyzers can look through it more thoroughly.

The physical version of Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition was released today.

Alongside the game for modern platforms such as the Nintendo Switch 2, this physical release includes a set of three postcards, a few stickers, a double-sided poster, and a reversible cover.

For players who held out on the digital launch due to early save-related glitches, these issues have now been resolved following the recent v1.1 update.

It's official: the rumors are now reality! Although many details leaked over the last few days, Ubisoft has formally announced both Rayman Legends Retold and Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition during tonight's State of Play presentation.

Both games are coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC on October 1, 2026! The bundle will retail at the price of $39.99, with Origins Enhanced Edition included free!

Rayman Legends Retold represents a significant modernization of the original title. It features a visual overhaul that replaces the classic watercolor look with a modern 2.5D aesthetic, alongside an entirely new storyline and a fresh villain. Other key additions include brand-new music levels, a realistic redesign for Betilla, and a minor cosmetic tweak for Rayman himself (who now has two separate eyes), along with new costumes referencing older games and other series. Most notably, the game is set to introduce fully 3D segments featuring rail-shooter gameplay, where players take to the skies on the back of a dragon to shoot down enemies.

As for Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition, running in 4K resolution at 60 FPS, this remaster updates the game for modern platforms with quality-of-life and accessibility features. It also appears to integrate the previously exclusive PlayStation Vita content, alongside updated photoboard designs and Murfy.

Following up on the teaser from a couple of days ago, Youtooz has now officially revealed the full design of the upcoming Ly the Fairy plush!

But that's not all: the manufacturer also unveiled a brand new Rayman "stickie". For those unfamiliar with the term, Youtooz "stickies" are mini plushies equipped with magnets inside, allowing them to stick to metal surfaces (like fridges or PC cases) or to each other.

You can check out the full reveal images of both the Ly plush and the Rayman stickie below:

Developed in partnership with Digital Eclipse, the compilation brings together five versions of the original game: the PlayStation, MS-DOS, and Atari Jaguar releases, as well as the Game Boy Color and Advance versions. The collection also marks the first official commercial release of the 1992 SNES prototype.

In terms of extra content, the package notably features the Bible of Game Design, developer interviews, and unreleased concept art. The collection also adds modern quality-of-life features, including rewind capability, save states, and toggleable cheats (infinite lives, unlock all levels).
