Raving Rabbids 4... Shit!

[Sabertooth]

There actully is a rayman 4 coming out in 2010 or 2011.

Sigh...do you have any real proof of this?

[Cairnie]

And no Wikipedia is not a good source. =/

[The New Raywiz 1996]

We have to do something tough.

[syntheticgerbil]

I would guess there isn't going to be an actual Rayman 4 unless Michel Ancel is working on it, as it seems the Rabbids have took off in his absence.

Ancel appears to be busy on Beyond Good and Evil 2 at the moment, but Ubisoft's statement on whether or not the game is actually coming out/is in production/is canceled keeps changing. If the guy's not working on that, I have no idea what he's doing.

[The New Raywiz 1996]

I hope that he has the chanse to finish it tough because Ray loses his fans.

[syntheticgerbil]

As much as I like Rayman, I like Beyond Good and Evil much more. But the original plan where another team made Rayman 3 while Ancel finished Beyond Good and Evil, only to have him return to create Rayman 4 all fell apart.

Now we are left with no new games or confirmed development from the biggest designer at Ubisoft. Just delays and rumors. I just don't understand what he's doing or why there is no news. He must be employed right, but why is Ubisoft so hush hush about him?

I guess now that Ubisoft's got all of their licensed games, Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia, and studio all over the world, they don't really need the guy who kind of helped their company get famous in the first place. That makes me kind of sad.

[The New Raywiz 1996]

So the rayman project fails and they just add bunnies ?

[Sabertooth]

I just realized that Rayman is Ubisoft's smallest series, not counting BG&E.

[The New Raywiz 1996]

That makes no sense at all.
Rayman has a lot of fans, if they want to keep us happy : Release rayman 4

It wasn't always like that.

If you count the Rabbid games though, it's not really the smallest series. It still has more games than Assassin's Creed at least for now.

Seriously I prefered the Zombie-like Rabbids of the first E3 trailer.

Seriously I prefered the Zombie-like Rabbids of the first E3 trailer.

So did I... the final ones just look stupid and don't fit into Rayman's world at all.

You can't imagine how happy I was when I saw the trailer. I said "OH BOY! This is going to rock, in a few months I'm going to fist up some Zombie-like Rabbids!".

Now guess how I got when I bought the game and I played it: "Whaaaaaaaat?"

[PluMGMK]

I expected there to be platforming once the mini-games were finished - that's what kept me playing.

And me I was with hopes of riding a hawk inside a "clock".

[PluMGMK]

I was hoping to see Murfy and ride spiders (I think it was spiders) - that's why I bought the game in the first place.

[spiraldoor]

Did Ubisoft actually announce the fact that it was a minigame compilation before they released it? Or did they continue to market it as a platformer until the day?

[PluMGMK]

People found out that it would be a party game some time before the release, but UbiSoft said there would be platforming elements in it. (I think)

[Haruka]

It's just, damn they changed almost everything on the content few time before the official release!

[rayda]

If anyone buys this, I'll kill you.
And, yeah, I remember all the build up to Raving Rabbids. There was so much media about how great it was going to be, then not long before the release they told us, 'oh, by the way, screw you.'
