Rayman origins is the start of a new rayman game. I wonder if it's going to have certant episodes.

Why episodes?
To release one this year, and because big games take a long time to make, which in turns makes their price high.
With episodes, the price must be proportional to the size of the game, there is no way we are taking gamers for fools!
Episodes also let us imagine a longer and more developed saga than with a more “classical” format.
Oh yes, and there is a golden rule: the size of each episode and its replayability must be important enough to make the players feel … fulfilled.

Readin' official blog doesn't hurt, really.

Sorry I'm focusing a little too much on sonic 4, yeah episodes would be gay.

[Tulio]

Nope, they wouldn't. As you've read thanks to the episodes RO will be released sooner, but in a huge parts. Personaly I wouldn't like to wait for the whole game in July 2011...

Also anything against 'gays'? -_-

i liked the idea of ubisoft of making a game explain the origins of rayman,finaly, after so many years,the mystery will be dicovered.
also if i need to put a note on this game it would be 10/10

Mas lembra-te que ainda sabemos muito poucos detalhes acerca do jogo. Teremos de esperar até, mais ou menos lá para inícios de Dezembro e o Natal deste mesmo ano para começarmos a ter uma opinião mais concreta do Rayman Origins. Contudo só o trailer em si, a conferência da E3 2010 e a entrevista que está no início deste tópico, já nos dá uma ligeira ideia de que este jogo promete.

I, for one, am totally psyched about Origins. It's Rayman, it's made with beautiful artwork, and most importantly it's a proper platformer and isn't made up of mini games!

Now I just have to get my hands on a PS3 before the game comes out...

verdade,porque voce lembra no trailer aquela tal fada,sempre quando vejo o trailer,fico confuso se o rayman foi teletransportado,renacido ou sei la o que.
ps=eu acho melhor voce falar comigo em ingles porque o portugues do portugal é um pouco diferente do portugues do brazil

Eu não tenho qualquer problema em falar no meu português e tu falares no teu.

Acontece que muitos (incluindo eu) acreditam que a fada possa ser a Betilla, a fada do Rayman 1 visto que existem muitas características muito parecidas entre si, até porque ela parece muito mais nova no Origins. Isto conclui que o Origins é antes do Rayman 1.

[Skaarj]

é verdade,mas outra coisa que notei é que existem personagens do primeiro e segundo e por alguma razao o jogo me lembra castle crashers (um jogo que só tem na xbox live pelo preço de 1200 (por ai) pontos,parece uma versao mitologica de final fight)

[Haruka]

Primeiro que tudo temos a suposta Betilla e os Livingstones com membros superiores e inferiores (e pescoço), que fazem parte do primeiro jogo (As plantas de folha púrpura e aquele fruto seco vermelho com espinhos também já vinham do Rayman 1) só que também temos a presença dos Lums Amarelos e do Globox, que apareceram pela primeira vez no Rayman 2. O Globox foi uma personagem que intrigou áqueles que jogaram primeiro o R1 e quando vão para o 2, ficam a pensar "Mas como raio eles se conheceram? Não vi nada disto no primeiro jogo!". O Origins vai poder explicar como o Rayman e o Globox se conheceram, e também sabemos finalmente como "nasceu" o Rayman e se tornou no herói que nós conhecemos hoje.

One thing that irks me is that in Rayman 1, Betilla introduces herself to Rayman, stating "I am Betilla the fairy". She could have just been reaffirming that it was her, or maybe Rayman didn't remember her from Origins.

There's also always the argument that RO could be ignoring the past installments in the series to 'start over' with a clean slate while still using some of the same characters. There are tons and tons of continuity errors from earlier games that would make it rather difficult to work with as far as something like Rayman's origin would go...

I hate that concept. I don't anything to argue against it with, but I just hate it. Any continuity errors could easily be explained with a little open-mindedness anyway.

Yeah, I can understand why someone would hate the idea. But even if it isn't the case canonically, I'm sure the fandom(AKA you guys) will find a way to connect all of the games anyways. Things like that happen all the time!

The new rayman origins game getting released sorta reminds me of warioland shake it

That's why I believe that Rayman on the final episode (I wonder which date of release will be) of Origins, he will someway lose his abilities and forget almost everything. Unless it exists a continuing error.

Whoa. That actually reminds me of a speculative one-shot fic I wrote a few days after I first learned of Rayman Origins. It's not exactly the same, but it sure rung a bell in my head!

I ought to see if there's a way to post it on this site or not... it's got some theorizing on the game(hence, you know, 'speculative') and how it could possibly connect to the first Rayman game, and I'd like to share that viewpoint on it. But I'm kinda new here, and so I'm a bit unsure of whether it's okay to just put links to things like that in posts(like this thread). I mean, I just want to share it to show the viewpoint, not advertise it, but all the same... Maybe I'll look around the site more and see if there's anywhere suitable to put it. Eegh, this is starting to go off-topic from the thread and starting to sound self-centric, so moving on...

Overall, the concept behind the writing-thingy is a little similar to what you just said there. The 'losing the powers' bit, anyways... it was at least my way of explaining why Rayman wouldn't have any powers at the beginning of the first Rayman game(he couldn't even throw a punch!), and was a 'what-if' thing more than anything else; I'm almost completely positive the theory and idea behind the piece will be proven wrong or inaccurate as more info on the game is released. It's still fun to guess though... =P

I don't think we're going to get an explanation. Ever played an RPG? Ever played the sequel of the same RPG? Notice how you lose all that cool stuff you collected in Unnamed RPG 1? This seems to be the same thing, in reverse (he has all his powers in the prequel as opposed to losing them in the sequel).
