You should be able to just "Connect" to him on LinkedIn (click the 3 dots, then choose Connect). This will send an invitation to connect, to which you can add a custom message. If your message catches his eye, and he accepts the invitation, you can continue messaging him freely, once he is a contact.

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. :hap:

That render is bloody beautiful, it has to be said!

Good luck!
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.

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.

Nice find, Droolie! This appears to be a rendition of the following artwork:

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:

Thanks for posting the animations, the first two looks like traps set by Rabbids.

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.

Yes, I know, it's just that they reminded me of the cutscenes from Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party :mrgreen:.

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

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

I love how fluid the animation is. There is much life and expression put in its almost tv series/tv shorts worthy!

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.

I thought about the same thing! It’s a bit similar to the funny cutscenes from most Worms games.

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.

So, LinkedIn suggested a job offer from Ubisoft to me, which I checked out of pure curiosity, and the company description contains the following:
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.
Yeah, not even a mention of Rayman, I guess the poor dude has long lost his mascot status. :lol:
