Change Rayman?

[Acarr]

How would you feel if Ubisoft proposed that they are going to completely re-vamp Rayman's look to increase publicity in a new game, like say, give him limbs and a more "human" look or change his name and ditch all things magical?

[Rsandee]

I would like a game with suits (just like in R3) that change Rayman's colors..... but a new name and stuff would be the worst action in the history of fail's!!

[MrBadGuy]

Well, if that happened it would no longer be Rayman, it would be a completely different franchise. Plus it would mean that we'd never get another Rayman game, so I don't think I'd be very happy with that

[Cairnie]

I'd go apeshit. Honestly.

[Acarr]

I don't know, but maybe instead of a "Rayman 4" it would be like "Ricardo" (ingnore the name please), and would seem to the un-trained eye like a completely new game.

I remember having a conversation in another topic about how it would be cool if Rayman no longer had a +3 rating and was more violent etc. would appeal to older gamers, because the rabbids are generally just for the kids and the thick casual gamer.

Maybe a change would be good, in a way.

[Xenon]

Depends how big the change is. Obviously, Rayman has changed enormously in the past decade but he's still recognisable as the same character. So I think small changes are fine. If he were to develop limbs though, that would totally ruin his profile.

[MrBadGuy]

^ agreed.

Ubi said that the Rabbids appeal to older players, not Rayman. If they did that, the franchise would lie in ruins!

[spiraldoor]

I would be relieved in a way if they completely rebooted the series and started from scratch. Not that I'd have any interest in the 'new Rayman'; it would just mean that they'd finally leave the 'real Rayman' in peace.

~I just realised something; it's already happened

[MrBadGuy]

That's not too far from the truth, although we have had some hopeful sounding announcements recently...

[dingodile555]

I think Rayman has been lucky, he hasn't had any major changes at all. Same can't be said for other 90s platformers I love like Crash and Spyro.

[MrBadGuy]

Have you heard of Rayman Raving Rabbids? To be fair, this can still be corrected though... fingers crossed!

Yes, yes I have. But Rayman still looks unmistakeable, his look hasnt been changed drastically at all.

[Acarr]

Not at all actually. Maybe on the front cover of RRR, but that's just a deformed version of the Rayman 3 model..

[Xenon]

His appearance has changed significantly since the release of the first game though...

[Acarr]

If they say they'll change it again though, his new look would be such a mystery...

[Tehrunescape455]

Who cares? They already killed Rayman , any horrid changes to him in the future fortunatelly cannot change his former glory (In ray1-3 and everything inbetween) .

If he grew limbs, he should see a doctor.

I like to ignore the non-Naughty Dog Crash games and the non-Insomniac Spyro games. The Wrath of Cortex makes no sense in the context of Crash 3's ending, anyway, so that one's not much of a stretch. And The Legend of Spyro certainly isn't part of the same continuity as the original games.

Well you're missing out... cause in my opinion the best Crash and Spyro games are Twinsanity and A Hero's Tail respectively, both from 2004. And I have been a fan for over 10 years.
