I want a new 2D Rayman with the same game design as Rayman 1

Remove the emphasis on racking up points and rushing to the end of a level and instead focus on exploring the levels and getting immersed into the worlds. Also, bring back the Metrovania aspects and a memorable villain, whos omnipresence can be felt throughout the world.

Yay or Nay???

Yay, of course. But 3D is even better.

It would be a shock, but surely a welcome one.

May. Mr. Dark was omnipresent? What a load of bull. And in addition, he was generic as all hell.

Those binoculars didn't add anything. If anything, it was annoying I didn't get to see the entire world map.

Yep. Though most people probably don't consider it that deeply on their first playthrough…

Mr. Dark is also kind of a racist name.

Mr. Dark is the bad guy, is that saying all dark people are bad?
This is clearly racist.

We just need Barbara in the next game. I don't really care about anyone else.

Well if you look at it that way... I guess it's probably the main reason he doesn't show up on newer games

I'm serious. I only care about Barbara, she's the best thing to come out of this franchise and nothing can beat her.

Rayman himself?

also who agrees that Barbara needs her own spin off?

I never really liked any of the Rayman villains to be honest. They always kept their distance until the end (apart from André who was comic relief during the time he was forced to spend with Globox and Rayman). The magician in RO would have been pretty nice if they had kept the original script though.

The only good villain scene was from Rayman 2, where Razorbeard dreams of what he'll do with Rayman using the Grolgoth. We need more villains that show how evil they are and communicate with the player.

Oh yeah, that part were he imagined killing Rayman was cool.

Also, all of the villains were cowards who ran away when they were confronted by Rayman.
