Rayman Advance CD Press Kit May 2001 Release

Post by MOV_Games »

Hey everyone, i'm hoping that this release is notable enough to have it's own thread (apologies if it isn't, i've only used this forum once before several years back). As far as I could tell this Rayman Advance press disc I obtained quite a while back has never been preserved online before, and I figured this forum would probably appreciate this release more than anywhere else!

Disc creation date seems to be 24th April 2001, and the press disc contains:
*7 High res .PSD artwork files with multiple layers, 4 Antitoon renders and 3 Rayman renders (unsure if 2 of the Rayman ones are Advance related or generic Rayman renders of the time, or if they're additionally dupes from another existing Press Kit).
*Near finalized PAL Boxart .PSD file with full separated layers (down to every last detail!) + a .JPG 3D render of the PAL boxart.
*Game Logo .PSD file (not absolutely huge res but it's solid quality and has a transparant background).
*13 screenshots.
*2 Developer photos.
*A Project Manager Q&A document (which comes in both English and French) and a Preview Guide document (featuring listed cheat codes for the journalists lol).

Download Link (Disc Image in BIN/CUE format so you'll need to mount it): https://archive.org/details/rayman-advance-press-kit

Hopefully at least some of the material contained here is new / an upgrade on what you previously had for Advance, and can help fill out the wiki or other related Rayman sites with new material! (or at the very least make dumb edits with the PSD files, like this poor Antitoon who has lost his limbs :( )

Nice, thanks a lot of uploading this! :D I've been curious for a while what was on this and it's great to see things like a .psd file for the box and high quality artwork! It also has a folder full of screenshots, some of which were used on the back of the box. There's also the original screenshot used in the Rayman 3 Teensy Highway easter egg!

Thanks for sharing! That Antitoon would probably make a good smiley, by the way. :mrgreen:

Maybe it could fill that "worry / fear" gap I've been talking about :hap:

With a little more intensity, perhaps!
