No problem, it cheered me up too




With all of these innnovations with GBA hardware, it would be funny/interesting to see the 3D version of Rayman 2 on the GBA.

I didn't realize this. I grew up with the PS version. I really like the modifications, they feel very purposeful, unlike the clumsy efforts to expand the world in RR. I suppose when you are challenged with making the game smaller, you have constraints that force careful design, but I still feel a real artistic flair. And then there is the most dramatic and popular modification, the Razorbeard fight.

Recently, I've seen alternate versions of games like ports and reboots, where no effort has been made to enhance the experience in terms of design, nor do they address existing bugs, and the only changes made are the addition of gimmicky bonus features to attract attention. I'm grateful to Ubi Soft Shanghai for demonstrating what is possible by trying to understand the intention behind the design and enhance it.

I certainly feel the same about this version. Ubisoft Shanghai did a great job of reinventing the game, and while some interesting content had to be cut, at least the additions are good and the final result feels polished and cohesive.

I would expect the result to be much better than Rayman DS.

Is it weird I genuinely find the Mario 64 on GBA to be aesthetically pleasing? Like it looks better than the DS and even N64 version imo

I definitely like the Tomb Raider one and I like Mario 64 too, but that Tik Tok Clock level looks horrendous.

Sam the snake was hunted and killed by Razoff. What do you think happened to Ly and Clark after Rayman 2?

[Hunchman801]

Sam the snake was hunted and killed by Razoff.

That's heavily conjectural.

Agh, I really want to write stories about that kind of stuff. Not enough time...

If you have time, maybe you could!

[Greengoop]

That's heavily conjectural.

Well, the game says he did, so just because the rayman fanbase “doesn’t like it”, there’s no reason not to believe it.

Where does the game say so? As far as I'm aware, the wiki correctly summarizes the situation:

Razoff has several statues of Ssssam the snake in his mansion, showing that he has encountered, or at least knows of, the character. Michael Janod, one of the game's developers, revealed in a RaymanZone interview that Razoff's mansion contains "statues of his finest catches", hinting that the hunter may have captured Ssssam at some point. The watersnake's fate is however unknown.

I think even saying that "he has encountered, or at least knows of, the character" is conjectural, given that there may be more than one water snake in the Glade who looks like that.

Well if we can believe that, then can we believe in 100 years from Origins all the nymphs are killed off by the Dark Teensys and the Nightmares which is why you don't see them. All the mobile games happen in between the two.

[Greengoop]

You know what, that’s actually a valid theory!

[HazBlackSlick]

Not sure if this something people know, But in The Walk of Power if you manage to get ahead of of Ly She'll get on all fours a brief moment to overtake you, similar to the 1998 Beta footage

[Master]

I think she does the same in all versions if you get ahead, I've had it happen to me in The Walk of Life in both Revolution and other versions as well. In addition, if you managed to not get too close when she waits for you and get ahead, she'll stay where she is. She'll then remain where she is until you finish the level and will then teleport to the end to finish the level as normal.

She'll then remain where she is until you finish the level and will then teleport to the end to finish the level as normal.

Impromptu mini-fan fic:

Ly and Rayman are dining at a restaurant

Ly: Who is THAT?
Rayman: Isn't that the runner guy from Hyrule? Wonder what he's doing sitting all by him—

Both Ly and Running Man have teleported to a shared table

Running Man: Huff... Puff...
Ly: (googly-eyed) Hi...

Rayman: ...Self.

I just realized i know NOTHING about this game. I need to play it really badly dont i?

[The Jonster]

Wait what you have not played this game before? Well once again this could be a fresh play!
