8-bit and 16-bit refer to the number of bits per pixel, not the number of pixels per sprite. The PC version of Rayman 1 and its spinoffs used 8-bit colour, and the non-PC versions used more colours (though I can't remember whether it was 16-bit or just using different palettes per sprite – I reckon the latter). Then the games using Rayman 2's engine used 15-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit colour for different textures (at least judging by the Raymap code). I'd say by Rayman 3, everything was using 32-bit colour, as it still does today!Greengoop wrote: Sat Dec 14, 2024 7:08 pmPresumably, considering people refer to “8bit” and “16bit” eras, but maybe I just used the wrong terminology![]()

I personally think Fiesta Run is the best, but they truly all suck... except adventures
Mainly because of the fact you can only run in one direction. I feel like rayman should be explorative, not... whatever this crappy run in a straight line forever formula is.
Uh... also, I love Gourmand Land. Best world in Origins, wish they had more levels that weren't just... cooking hell. They did the level for El Stomacho beautifully though.
Mini has beautiful backgrounds but overall crappy and boring

Re: Unpopular opinions on Rayman
If you have an android, you can download them for FREE here! (this excludes Adventures and Mini)
https://www.reddit.com/r/Rayman/comment ... an_fiesta/
But if you wanna play on your PC, you can buy them straight from the ubisoft store. It's a waste of money imo but I still bought them

You could get a free 30 day trial for apple arcade as I did to play Mini, but it's also not worth it LOL
Again, beautiful backgrounds but there's really nothing to it.

Re: Unpopular opinions on Rayman
Having a jailbroken phone sounds fun as hell but I personally wouldn't try it because I always mess something up

Re: Unpopular opinions on Rayman
I think I’d rather jailbreak a used iPhone I picked up at CeX than the one that costs £250 I use on a daily basis

I would never do it on my personal phone tbh, I would rather do it on my crappy android that I installed the previously mentioned APKS on

Android is a good operating system as long as you have a good device, I’ve found from experience. Anything under £100 can barely function
