Rayman Raving Rabbids - early screenshots

[StelzenBomber]

I was just looking for no-IGN logo graphics for this topic but I found this.

So Pink was also intended to be in the racing minigames. Interesting.

It's probably not Pink. Bunny like this is used as a normal enemy in GBA version.

I never seen this image before, look like that Pink was also intended to have fur like the old Rabbids. Where did you find this image ?

A early version of the hud in the X360 version

This image is the screenshot from Xbox version of RRR played with an Xbox camera. This pink thing at the right appears when you don't have ammo.

I don’t remember Rayman being chased by a ufo in the mobile version

I didn't play the mobile version but (after watching gameplay) I think that is unused. You can see the cut pig section in a trailer.

I just wonder about origins of this image (I know this is from wiki).

Rayman doing a unused idle ?

Usually, devs are changing the arrangement of characters for promotional images. Like in these cases.

Unused sections in Bunnies think they are stuck in a movie.

A good find. This room with a furnace is not in a game.

Here is pink

Maybe the developer of the GBA version use the old design of Pink for enemy in this version.

I don’t remember this happening in the level

Initialy, there were more pigs in this minigames.

[The Jonster]

Is that a train? In those two pictures?

[StelzenBomber]

im pretty sure it is

[Birds858]

Yes, it’s from the minigame Bunnies think they’re in a movie.

[Nve]

I know these images.

I don’t remember this happening in the level

This is not happening in the game. It's the second image of a different type of this level. Clark is also there. A lot of screenshots and promotional images have disparate positions of Rabbids and their types, so I don't like to search for them because it's hard to recognize every enemy. More valuable are unused Rabbids.

Imo promo with added pigs.

The rabbids right in the picture is unused.

Also i found something in this image.


We can clearly see that the Rabbids above are untextured except the eyes and T-posing. Maybe this pic was take when the texture of the final rabbids was not finished ?

Edit : I noticed that the locker in Rayman’s cell was different in the prototype, it’s looked more like a shelf than a locker.

i think it was either unintentional or rushed

This not a screenshot but this is a beta version of "Bunnies Helped Tame the Wild West" We can see in this video that the Rabbids are using tree branch as a weapon (like the RRR prototype), the old hud and we can see a unused design of a Rabbids in 0:18.
Edit : I found more videos : (This one show a untextured platform at the end)

Great find. It's from IGN but I didn't see this before. I'm curious where FrameRater got this. Btw the HUD is a little different.

Edit: It's actually on the IGN website but I didn't spot it.

In the RRR Wii trailer Rabbids are also using branches but there are current cowboy Rabbids already. I have found HD RRR Wii trailer on a German website so images have a better resolution.

(This one show a untextured platform at the end)

They are the only videos where I see significant differences.
1.
Omitting the counter look, the way of getting points was different. You could lose the points and get them again if the counter would get to the end.
2.
Beside the untextured platform, the "1,2,3" sequence is saying by understandable voice (not Rabbids language) and font colour is white instead of yellow (like in the bunny hunt above). There are also no Rabbids. In the other videos, the font is still white but the voice is different.

On October 11, 2006, press event took a place and RRR was presented. Some photos.

Debug mode




From what can I read:

FIGHT OFF (No Event) [on top of the screen]

KAM INFO [left upper corner]

ActiveKam [and probably something like "MediPler(a):"]

[probably] WARNING NO KAM - [*unreadable*]

Kam Collision: Disable

Ray_FPS [left lower corner]

Move Speed= 1.00/1.00
Kam Speed= 3.00
Kam Target=
Next Wp=

Z 0.85 [or 0.65] [bottom]

Cam OFF [on the enemies]

I think this video is good knew.

But I have just found the images of Rabbids' old models (from the press event)





Final:

At the RRR Wii trailer Rabbids are using branch too but there are cowboys Rabbids already. I have found HD RRR Wii trailer on a German website so images have better resolution.

Is the first time that i see a HD version of the trailer, can i use this image for the RayWiki ?

The dance minigames in the press version still use the old counter suggesting that this was changed shortly before the release. The debug mode has nothing really special from what i see. (But, that probably mean that there a way to activate it in the final game ?)

I think this video is good knew.

But I have found images of Rabbids old models (which were presented at the press event)





Final

I already see the video but not the picture in high quality.

Also, i found the blogpost of a designer of RRR and his prototype.
https://www.francois.games/rayman-raving-rabbids/

Nothing really special except the fact that the FPS level were made after the cancellation of the prototype and the old name of two FPS level.

I think everything on this topic can be used.

Also, i found the blogpost of a designer of RRR and his prototype.

Nice.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the Russian website is not the only source of the furry Pink. I also found it (i.a.) on the German website.

[Birds858]

I was looking into the three artworks videos from RRR and i found interesting stuff.

A city destroyed by a robot ? Probably a cancelled level from the prototype.

This one show three Rabbids on skateboards (with one with the old RRR logo) in what look like a forest. We can see a city in the backgrounds.

Ruins ? In the files of RRR, we can see a level called ruins.

Rayman pursued by Rabbids ? Similar to the prototype trailer when Rayman run in a forest.

We can see the same artwork on the Wii menu.

That "ruins" one gives me Toad Story vibes!

[Nve]

There is not much evidence to say that this could be the sketch of the prototype level. In my opinion, it could be a moment of inspiration. Although of course, you can learn something from them.

Shadow of the Colossus very much.

[Birds858]

I just come with a theory that the old desing of the Rabbids was in fact a cancelled type of Rabbids and not a older design. Because, we can see that the "Bunny Scientific Facts" videos were released before the cancellation of the prototype. (and theses videos show the "new design" of the Rabbids) Also, we can see some picture of the prototype with the "final" Rabbids.

[PluMGMK]

Kinda like the strong grey rabbids that appear in the final game? Makes sense…

[Birds858]

I found a blogpost of someone who made three early version of the box art of RRR 2.

You can see the normal Rabbid on the cover of the magazine (that with cancelled prototype images).

It was released in September 2006.

The "Bunny Scientific Facts" was shown at E3 2006 with the cancelled prototype trailer.

Also, the cinematic trailer of the prototype has new Rabbids.

So your theory can be true.

"each cover’s background was comped together using a combination of both supplied and found objects"

It looks like from the "My first week in Photoshop" guide but I understand the limitations.
