Not sure if this was already posted anywhere here but...

Who does the imprisoned lady remind you of? ;P

[Holy Crap]

Oh, i must have missed that. It looks like they were originally going to have a few robotic dinosaurs in there.

[Kelvin12]

And aliens.

Some of the enemies don't even look like they belong in a Rayman game.

One thing's for sure though, we can make even more wildcapped theories about the Rayman 1 bridge to Rayman 2.

[Holy Crap]

I like the guy with the cigar, whom i assume was going to be the boss.

[Kelvin12]

I'm pretty sure this influenced Ubi to make Tonic Trouble.

He could be either Mr. Dark or he created Razorbeard for your crazy Rayman 1 bridge to 2 theories. Certainly is part of mine now.

I'll call him General Ed.

The infamous Chainsaw villain that Razorbeard replaced theory is proven wrong, he was nothing more of a boss.

What the heck is that bomb thing?

Beta shots make me drool :}~ This shouldn't have been canceled, nuff said.

[Holy Crap]

I wouldn't say that, what we now have is arguably the best rayman game.

[Kelvin12]

That could've also been the arguably best Rayman game.

I swear, the Chainsaw Bot reminds me so much of Klungo from the Banjo-Kazooie series.

Yeaj, you should probably make sure they've made a mistake before you accuse them of making a mistake.

I thought she spelled it wrong. And i was just telling her, i wasn't trying to be mean or anything. Why do people allways think that!?

[FAB]

I wish Ubisofy acually fully made this version and that i had it.

I didn't think you were being mean.

That beta version of R2 really looked like a true and direct sequel to R1.

If they hadn't scrapped it, and they had made R3 the first 3D Rayman game, then it would have been a 2D series making the jump to 3D, rather than a 2D game making the jump to 3D.

The whole series would have had a proper continuity and everything.

Who knows? Maybe scrapping the beta of R2 was the worst game-developing decision ever? Sadly, we'll never know.

[Cairnie]

Unfortunately that sort of thing happens a lot to games, and it's mostly because the teams end up deciding that so and so isn't gonna work in the end.

[Holy Crap]

I actually find it strange that they didn't just change from 2D to 3D but they completely scrapped all the ideas they already had.

[spiraldoor]

How much info do we have on the beta version of R2? Do we know the story and what all the levels and characters were going to be? Was the beta R2 about robo-pirates invading too?

I wonder if any of the stuff from it will be in future games?

[Holy Crap]

Was the beta R2 about robo-pirates invading too?

Obviously.

[spiraldoor]

Does anybody have a picture of Razorbeard in his beta form, then?

[Holy Crap]

Well, it appears that this guy:

was the original antagonist.

[spiraldoor]

That guy looks kinda cool...is that the only picture of him that we have? Any good-quality ones?

[Holy Crap]

I don't think so. It looks much better if you shrink it though.
