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

I think Rayman actually looks pretty decent here, He has a bit more of an extracted expression, And idw if its just me but he kinda looks like the SOH design here

Uhh... okay...

How come this depiction of Rayman always looks better in-game (during gameplay and in pre-rendered cutscenes) compared to his promo art? I don't know why, but something about his expression here just looks unnatural to me. Maybe I'll warm up to it as I look at it more, but right now this is probably my least favorite official render of Retold Rayman. :oops2:

I'm not a huge fan of it, but I've got to admit that it allows for more expressiveness.

I really think they overdid it with the eye sockets.

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.

Honestly, I think Rayman looks fine here! His eyes might look a little deep with the now clear bridge between them, but he really doesn't look bad to me. I really like that they're letting him keep his exaggerated expressions.

He looks fine to me; his skin might be a bit more reddish-pink than I remember, but as far as I'm concerned he's still the same Luchador. :)

Also, what video you find that model from? If there's any other character models they show off there, I'd love to see them!

He looks pretty much the same as the original to me.

He... definitley looks very detailed AND realistic with them oiled muscles and hair on his chest. Maybe a bit too much even :oops2:

I think it fits the game's art style pretty well!

Well, they already did a really good job with that on Rayman's evil clones, so why not! :hap:

Anyhoo, I see the minimum system requirements on Steam include a 7th-gen Intel Core processor, so I'm not sure where that leaves me with my i7-4790K… I wonder if it actually uses newer instructions or if they're just talking about general performance…

Also, Shrek in Teensies in Trouble might need to go in my collection!

Rayman's official X/Twitter account just posted something! Hopefully it's the bio I've been waiting o-
Retold has been boarded.jpg
Oh. It's always Assassin's Creed, isn't it? :sad:

(Yeah, I know this is just meant to promote the Black Flag remake, but I'm under the impression that this means we're not getting the character bio today. Also this would have been the perfect opportunity to at least tease Assassin Ray and/or Avelina coming back in Retold, but hey, what do I know? :|)
