Yeah, fascinating finds! Whenever people find out about new Rayman stuff, it reminds me of how much more there is to still know which is just amazing.

Ah, the olden days when WMV files were a somewhat normal way of sharing digital video. 
That render is bloody beautiful, it has to be said!

If you're interested it might be worth trying to get in touch with Pascal Cammisotto as well, he might be able to provide more info (/screenshots? :p) of Phoenix's Rayman 4 and the PSP version that he was lead game designer for.
Re: Rayman himself
Sure, I try to do my best 
And wish me luck guys, as I added him to my connects now and wait for his approval to message him.
EDIT: For some reason, whenever I try to connect with him, it always deletes my inquiry.

Re: Rayman himself
Hi there! In case any of you didn’t see it, some animations from the cancelled Rayman 4 by Phoenix Studio were recently revealed thanks to the kindness of a developer:

Re: Rayman himself
Thanks for posting the animations, the first two looks like traps set by Rabbids.

Re: Rayman himself
Even though it'd make sense in context of the series, keep in mind that those were animations from Phoenix's Rayman 4, not Ubisoft's Raving Rabbids.Elite Piranha wrote: Fri Apr 16, 2021 5:04 pm Thanks for posting the animations, the first two looks like traps set by Rabbids.

Yes, I know, it's just that they reminded me of the cutscenes from Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Partypaulnewman2001 wrote: Fri Apr 16, 2021 8:06 pmEven though it'd make sense in context of the series, keep in mind that those were animations from Phoenix's Rayman 4, not Ubisoft's Raving Rabbids.Elite Piranha wrote: Fri Apr 16, 2021 5:04 pm Thanks for posting the animations, the first two looks like traps set by Rabbids.

Re: Rayman himself
It does look like those animations could have inspired the final Rabbids game, which itself is interesting!

Re: Rayman himself
Some of these animations look like a mix of Rayman 2 and 3's.

Re: Rayman himself
I find the Teensie moai particularly well inspired!
Re: Rayman himself
I love how fluid the animation is. There is much life and expression put in its almost tv series/tv shorts worthy!

Re: Rayman himself
The animation with a present gives me Worms 3D vibes, could have been a cool game even if the whole idea of it being a reboot makes me sceptical of it.
Re: Rayman himself
Id rather this prototype than Rabbids any day ^^

Re: Rayman himself
I thought about the same thing! It’s a bit similar to the funny cutscenes from most Worms games.paulnewman2001 wrote: Sat Apr 17, 2021 5:19 pm The animation with a present gives me Worms 3D vibes, could have been a cool game even if the whole idea of it being a reboot makes me sceptical of it.
Re: Rayman himself
I'd love to have have Rayman 4 instead of Rabbids too. That's not to say I hate their existence, but I understand why people are mad considering what was supposed to be Rayman 4 became the Rabbids.

Re: Rayman himself
So, LinkedIn suggested a job offer from Ubisoft to me, which I checked out of pure curiosity, and the company description contains the following:

Yeah, not even a mention of Rayman, I guess the poor dude has long lost his mascot status.Their dedication and talent has brought to life many acclaimed franchises such as Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, Just Dance, Rainbow Six, and many more to come.
