It probably wasn't even abandoned so much as it was a failed request. Given that all we have is concept art, Phoenix Interactive probably just drew up some stuff and pitched it to Ubisoft, and they turned it down.Asher said:In my opinion, an ambitious and expansive game as Rayman IV (cancelled prototype) may not have been simply abandoned and it ended there in 2006.

According to me in a few years, perhaps on the celebration of 20° years anniversary of Rayman in 2015 you should start to learn something, unfortunately the Platform genre is dead and there is little selling invests over, this is what worries me!
Ancel has made it clear in more than one occasion that if it were up to him Rayman would still be that of a time! That's why I blame for Ubisoft!
Origins and Legends are actually set after Rayman 3.The Ruptineer said:and was set after rayman 3 instead of before
only Rayman 2 was no nonsense Lexis. R1 was incredibly whimsical and R3, well, R3 has a thread here for pointing out all the adult jokes and utter nonsense that happens within the game.Lexis said:Guys forgive the outburst of the title, but I'm very very annoyed by the latest Rayman's releases! Ubisoft had transformed my/our myth in a non-sense game where everything has to be demential and laughty in a totally absence of style, when Rayman has always been a serious game, deep and also greatly suffered as we will remember with the Rayman 2 TGE masterpiece!
rant as we might, we common folk can't just walk up to The Villa and demand a serious hardcore 3D rayman. how it usually happens is somebody with connections stops by RPC and just observes/asks us. also Ancel may not be involved as much in the next rayman anyway, there was an interview about letting his established team handle any future titles while he works on Beyond Good & Evil 2.Lexis said:Many will disagree with me, but I have posted this question only to those who want back Rayman to its former glory! How I/we can contact and ask it to Michel Ancel in person and Ubisoft to publish finally Rayman 4 or publish a new game of that caliber and in 3D?!
Answering in many and we see to stop this decay, also with a serious petition!
