Re: Rayman Legends Retold
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftPgdqfcd9I&t=35s How do you think they will fit the new music levels? There are meant to be 4 new ones in the original game; there is one per world, so do you think this implies more new worlds? Because this music level doesn't fit any world but Teensies In Trouble, but Castle Rock is confirmed to be returning, so we're gonna have multiple per world, or does this imply more worlds

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. 😬

Hello all,

Today, we celebrate the sixth birthday of Pirate-Community. Not only has our community survived during the last six years, it has also grown up and improved uninterruptedly, despite the absence of a new Rayman game since its creation. Most of you may not have been here since the beginning, but you all belong to the history of PC, for you are the ones without whom it would never have existed.

Even though record day was postponed, 98,065 messages have been posted this year, which is 9,544 more posts than last year, resulting in a total of 398,644 messages. But it's not the number of messages that makes the greatness of a forum, it's the members themselves, and from this point of view, I can without a doubt assert that we are a great community.

Due to an unavoidable technical incident, record day is cancelled and postponed to August. Unfortunately, our current server proved unable to put up with the amount of requests caused by the high activity of record day, and froze after ten minutes of slow performance, despite our efforts to avoid such a situation, which led to reducing CPU usage by 60%. The significant size of our database is responsible for this saturation and a server change will be discussed in the following days to solve this problem.

We apologise for the inconvenience and promise you the next record day will go smoothly.

Hello all,

Today, Pirate-Community is proud to announce the release of the new Rayman 3 Hall of Fame. It's been several years since the original ranking was discontinued, and it was impossible to tell cheaters and high-level players apart. But now, thanks to our collaboration with UbiSoft, we have an authentic Hall of Fame, protected from cheaters by a group of moderators.

In case you don't know how to use it, it's very simple: upon finishing the game, you are provided with a unique key code which you should enter on this page.

Have fun!
