At least there won't be a downgrade at launch with these graphics! :P
Right?...

Is this what Elon Musk has done? :ouin:

This reminds me of the thing where people say each Gabe Newell fat joke delays Half-Life 3 a little more...

Ah yeah, that's Nocna Fifi's art of it. https://twitter.com/NocnaFifi/status/15 ... 0188886016

Ubisoft had to make some cuts to afford the new paid checkmark and more NFTs/NoFuckingThanks. :hap:

I remember I used to make these kinds of jokes years ago based on the Half-Life 3 memes, like in the comments of Rayman Revenge of the Dark. Beg for the game or the release date on an unrelated video and the author delays the game by one year! :noel:

Nice fanwork here!

Also, I can see that OCG now has over 143k subscribers. That's impressive, well done man. :up:

Ah yes, Nocna Fifi did a very nice job on that!

I have to say I agree with several of OCG's points, and I like his insight into the trademark issue at the end. But I wouldn't trust them with HD remakes of any of the classic games, given their track record. Also, the idea of using Revolution as a basis instead of the original – yeah, nope, that's not my cup of tea… And of course he had to cite Murfy as the reason why Rayman 4 should exist, to which:

I don't like the idea of HD remakes either, especially for Rayman 1 whose aesthetic I think would be very hard to recreate without the blocky sprites. There's also a big chance that those remakes would end up being to the original games what Revolution is to Rayman 2.

And yeah, Rayman fans have this tendency to see meaning where there is none, and Murfy's quote is a good example of that. :winkgrin:

Good point. I guess Ryemanni knew that, cause the only real deblockification (IIRC) in Redemption is that shrunken Rayman is a scaled-down version of normal Rayman, rather than a blocky mini-sprite. Which was an interesting choice I think.

I guess it could only be worse really... Whatever hope there was of getting it right a year after the original, a remake twenty years later will surely fall victim to so many forgotten details... :ouin:

Indeed, but I don't think it's just Rayman fans though. After all, "HL3 confirmed" hasn't become such a big meme for nothing! :winkgrin: (Although now we have "Rayman 4 confirmed" on our side :confus:)

That's one bit I didn't like, as it felt a bit out of place, but it's a small detail that doesn't matter much.

Good point. I'm not even sure if the original development team was involved with Revolution, but it certainly wouldn't be the case now.

My thoughts exactly! We have Murfy to thank for that. :mrgreen:

I just opened up the relevant page (57) in my L'histoire de Rayman and it seems the "port" was indeed given to a small team at Ubisoft Annecy. Then Florent Sacré was sent to help them, and he realized that the level and game designers had basically started making an entirely new game! He says flat-out that it was too ambitious for the team (which had a lot of inexperienced people), and for the time given. So yeah, I think basically he thought about it the same way we do, without saying as much :hap:

Hey creeps.

it's been A WHILE. Holy shit I revived.
Cool to know that Rayman is not dead after Michel Ancel was exposed as a deadbeat boss and left Ubisoft.

Now Rayman's kinda like... Earthworm Jim or something. Y'know, because of the fucked up creator and stuff.

I hope you guys are over the fact that Rayman will probably never be his Rayman 2 self ever again, and the franchise is destined to remain goofy and cartoonish forever.

Cool to see the limbless dude around again, tho. Cool to also see that he rocks the Smash Bros eyebrows now. He even has pockets in his belly for his dumb hands.

's cool, 's cool.

SO.

I just wanted to poke my head for a bit. I haven't seen you guys in... maybe a decade? I remember a lot of you weirdos using the n word with the hard R in the most casual of ways, holy shit. Hope y'all grew up. I sure did. I'm now married, isn't that cool? K see ya peeps.

In fairness, the revelations (IIRC) have shown other people involved to be a lot more effed up than Michel himself…

That was also my understanding reading the various testimonies in the topic about Ancel's departure.

From an interview with Xavier Manzanares that came out yesterday:
https://gamingbolt.com/mario-rabbids-sp ... c-and-more
Following on from the previous question, one of Sparks of Hope’s post-launch expansions is bringing Rayman into the mix as well, which has yet another iconic property crossing over into the story. How did the idea for that come about and what can you tell us about how he’s going to be implemented in terms of both story and gameplay?

In Kingdom Battle we did the Donkey Kong expansion. It was a lot of fun, a lot of work that we put as well on making sure that, we wanted to respect Donkey Kong’s universe and lore and the interaction with Rabbids. It was a lot of fun and I think players loved the experience as well.

For Sparks of Hope, when we start to think this year about the DLCs, like the extensions of the adventure that we could do in the future, we thought about having an adventure feeling, different type of gameplay, etc. We believe that the three DLCs that we announced is a mix, a good mix of all the good ideas that we had during the production of Sparks of Hope. When it comes down to Rayman- first of all, we are reading forums, communities, and players’ feedback and we knew that Rayman was one of the characters that would be making a lot of splash and people would be happy to hear back from.

But even though it was a good idea maybe to bring back Rayman with the Rabbids and everything that we know from their past, we didn’t want to just bring him and that’s it. We wanted to think first about what would be the impact of Rayman in this gameplay, in this genre, in our game, first. And if there are some good ideas and we believe it could be interesting, then okay, let’s do it. It was really important to first think about this impact rather than just announcing a new hero, and that’s it. So that was the strategy. And of course, when we announced in September the details and gave a bit more reveal of this new hero, we saw the reaction from the fans. I’d say we’re very happy that it resonated with so many. And now we’re actually working with it right now in terms of the scope, the frame of what Rayman will be able to do, his interaction, like I said, with the Rabbid heroes. We’re spending a lot of time there, and focus.

What's interesting to me is that the Rabbids in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope are depicted much closer to how they are in the GBA Rayman Raving Rabbids than other Rabbids media. They are also able to talk in that, aren't as stupid, and have varying body shapes and fur color.

Rayman is back in Rabbid hell. Give him a new game Ubisoft! It's been nearly 10 years :sad:
