What other videogames genres do you see Rayman getting into?

Post by Retrofuge »

It's a pretty unusual question since Rayman always been a 2D/3D platformer. But, lately, I have been looking at the spinoffs which Rayman has been in over the years. He's been in party games, edutainment, isometric platformer, Endless runners and even a kart racer. So I'm pretty interested on what other genres of games which people would like to see Rayman in? Either if it's a mainline game or spinoff. I love to hear your opinions. Some can be pretty out there, just to have fun with it. :P

Great topic, Retro! For my part, with the recent trend of Rayman-themed horror fangames such as The Spooky Raymansion 1 and 2 or Globox Terror: Escape of the Lumar Eclipse, and the promising yet cancelled Attack of the Killer Rabbids From Outer Space (that somehow managed to become ZombiU), I think there might just be an actual potential for Rayman horror games, as surprising as it may sound.

There's actually a few dark themes in both Rayman 2 and 3 that could be built on, but of course everything light and cheerful would have to be put aside, and there's a lot of that in the Rayman series. :P

Yeah, interesting question! I voted for sandbox, but if I could select multiple genres, I would also vote for the racing genre.

I like beat-em-ups, but in a sense, I guess the UbiArt games are kind of that. I guess something like that with a health bar and points system would be cool (where the enemies take a few hits instead of just one).

It's interesting though how there has never been a racing game on consoles, while even the likes of Crash has a couple. I guess M/Arena is a racing one, but I mean a kart one which isn't just an obscure mobile game.

I think I'll go with sandbox though since if they ever did make a new game, I think this would be a nice way for it to work. I'm most certainly not voting for Battle Royale! :P

I voted "Racing games". I would love to see more of Rayman and the rest of the characters in a kart or some sort of race vehicle. Stats would be interesting to see also in terms of deciding the top tiers and so on.

I would vote "fighting games" as well but it would be a bit weirdly convenient considering that Rayman is actually an existing creation for MUGEN with the use of animations and sprites from Rayman Advance.

I guess one of the reasons I don't really want to see Rayman in a spin-off right now is because of how many of those there already are, as opposed to main series games. Give us Rayman 4 first, and then I'll be to open to any racing or fighting games they'll want to come up with. :lol:

Hmm, this is an interesting topic. I'd go for either RPG or Sandbox (i can't decide on which).
