Rayman himself

It would be interesting to see a Rayman-game as a turn-based role-playing game, either officially or as a fan-game, like Angry Birds Epic.

Did you try Rayman in the Phantom Show?

[Rock_TBT]

No, I missed that one.

Give it a try! It's the closest you'll get to a turn-based Rayman RPG. Rayman feels a bit out of place there but at least they added nice references there and there.

Unfortunately, it is not on PC.

What I was thinking of would be Rayman & co vs robot-pirates as an RPG or Rayman & co vs Hoodlums as an RPG.

You're not the only one to think that. I know Phantom Show sort of touches on the RPG aspect, but I think it's more of a strategy game than a classic RPG. Rayman as a classic RPG would be absolutely fire and fitting for his world.

I wholeheartedly agree with that! I've fantasized about such a concept a few times before, and I believe Phantom Show did give us a taste of that, but I would love for a whole team to take the plunge and create a full Rayman RPG game.

This is kinda random, but… I recently ventured onto a video where one of the comments talked about how Rayman never actually meets Mario in that Mario + Rabbids DLC, and it got me thinking about that one image where Rayman kills Mario while speaking in French.
I think some people here has atleast seen that image before? So, where does it originate from? I’m pretty sure i heard that it was made by some workers at Ubisoft, but i honestly don’t even know if that’s true or not.

This is the picture you mean, right?



As far as I know, it was indeed created by some of the Rayman 2 developers. It was shared here by Michaël Guarné, the author of L'Histoire de Rayman.

As for Rayman's inclusion in the DLC... it's pretty obvious he was a second (or third) choice, given the complete disconnect between Rayman's universe and the DLC's story and setting (the Phantom and his Space Opera Network).

The devs liked the Phantom so much they designed the DLC around him, making the guest star feel like an afterthought.

I never expected to love a Rabbids game at some point. I played Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle back in 2019 and I really had fun with this out of the box colaboration. I remember I only needed help with online videos to figure out how to clear 2 maximum difficulty battles from the DLC. These two aside I managed to 100% the game all on my own.

I only started to play Mario+Rabbids: Sparks of Hope this month despite of having bought the Gold Edition four months ago. I'm looking forward to try out the Phantom Show DLC as I heard there's plenty of winks to the Rayman franchise as a whole! There's the possibility that I'll document that in my YouTube channel once I'm ready to play it. However, it will take a while considering the HowLongToBeat table ...

A full-blown Rayman RPG would be absolutely incredible! Imagine exploring the Glade of Dreams in a turn-based style, with all the different characters as party members and a deeper dive into the lore.

Yeah, that's the one. Honestly, it's quite unbelievable that the image was made by actual Rayman 2 developers. But after seeing that Otto Psi is a Nazi according to the files and one of the levels in Rayman Origins is straight up called Pearl Harbour, i'm not surprised... Man, what was going through the developers' heads, i wonder?

[...] and one of the levels in Rayman Origins is straight up called Pearl Harbour, i'm not surprised... Man, what was going through the developers' heads, i wonder?

What!? Which one is it?

[RayGamer99]

one of the levels in Rayman Origins is straight up called Pearl Harbour

Uhh, no they're not? I can't speak for internal names, but at least in the final game there aren't any levels in any Rayman game called Pearl Harbor.

[Magelin]

I was mistaken. I thought one of the levels was called that in the files, but i was actually thinking about these files.

I'm assuming these files probably have something to do with Hunter's rockets or Moskito's bullets, but i actually don't really know, so... Can't say much here.
So yeah, it's real, just not what i was thinking about.

I'm not too surprised myself. They're just humans making jokes, after all, and schoolboy humor was commonplace in the video game industry of the early 2000s.

What's with Otto being a Nazi though? I don't remember that one.
