Rayman fourth adventure announced. What's wrong with it?

Post by rayIuk »

About a month ago I read several fairly reliable articles, all reporting the same news: "Ancel being in an old shop saw a promotional statue of Rayman 3. From that moment a feeling of nostalgia persuaded him and thought that it was time for Rayman to return to his glory".
Cit. of the same Ancel.

Now I wonder, our dear designer has learned the mistakes of the 3rd and to "bring Rayman back to its glory" intends to adopt again the exciting style of the first or gloomy of the second, Or is going to create another adventure based on the dull and debatable style of 3!?

My question arises because it has not been a promotional gadget of the first or the second to bring back to life this reasonable thought, but the third. The third! In my opinion, and not just mine, the worst episode of the series.

I sincerely hope that Ancel has learned from the mistakes committed mainly between 2002 and 2006 (and even after) and he intends to resume the series from where he had originally interrupted it, after 1999.

Personal opinions aside, what do you think? Is there anything to hope for on this hypothetic Rayman fourth adventure? It will be a turning point that many fans of the kind have been waiting for 18 years or it will be the usual plagiarized ideas from the first and second and adapted distorcely!?

The discover of this news gave me a mix of pleasure and perplexity, justified by all the negative choices of the last two decades (2001-2011 / 2011-2019). Decades in which the Parisian designer has put in place a series of choices and nonsensical behavior, as initially that to follow a project that in fact was a failure announced as Beyond Good Evil, entrusting his winning horse Rayman to another Parisian team (team that the same Ancel criticized, but not too much otherwise would have made enemies inside his workplace) that it turned Rayman out to be a demential and lacking product. And the subsequent creation of the Rabbids who, together with the Ubisoft's capitalist market choices and Ancel's indolence, have inflicted the coup de grace (after the first inflicted by the 3) to the fame of one of the best video game series ever created in terms of style, design and atmosphere.

Believe me, I do not know whether to rejoice or doubt. After all, it was the same Ancel with his behavior who undermined the doubt and deprived his fans of concrete expectations, since he reduced his creation to a purely commercial product.

Personally, the first thing among all I hope will Ancel decide to restore the old design of the protagonist with red scarf, shoes and haircut from the first and second.

The rest, we'll see...

Two accounts whose names differ by only one character? Negative opinion of Rayman 3 and beyond? This is all too familiar.
