Rayman Origins

So you're saying that, in the beginning, they will be those crazy and stupid people, but they will quickly grow up and become serious? Is that confirmed? Because that would make this game potentionally great (if they really act normal and such).

[MLII]

^ Yep, that's exactly what happens. It will be awesome, as long as the curve is realistic.

@DKwarrior: Are you sure it's wise to put your hotmail address on the web where like EVERYONE can see it? -requests for a mod to edit the post and remove it-

[Xenon]

A lot of people publicise their contact details under the location box so I don't think it matters too much

[Haruka]

Is that confirmed?

Why I would insist in telling fake information if it wasn't anything confirmed? I thought you already knew me. If you doubt my word, read the official blog posts of Rayman Origins.

He was fully working on Rayman Raving Rabbids for most of its production too. Didn't stop it from becoming a minigame collection.

Are you aware of the game’s history? Ancel designed it as a platformer. It was retooled when he left. He had nothing to do with the design of the game that was released. To say that we should lower our expectations for Rayman Origins due to this exceptional precedent makes absolutely no sense. I think you’re just looking for things to complain about, perhaps in an attempt to justify your outrageously negative reaction to the game’s announcement. Come on – Ancel’s involvement in the development of this game is a fantastic thing and you know it.

So you're saying that, in the beginning, they will be those crazy and stupid people, but they will quickly grow up and become serious? Is that confirmed? Because that would make this game potentionally great (if they really act normal and such).

Have you even read the blog? It’s pretty straightfoward about it:

Rayman Origins is the story of two friends, or rather two outrageous scoundrels that spend their time pestering the little magical folk.
Yes, in the beginning Rayman was more into handing out free slaps than into world saving.
Strangely enough it is this very eventful story we are interested in: how did this uncontrollable individual and his grotesque companion become the heroes that we know ?
Patience, the answers will come…

Oh, you're a highly respectable member in my opinion (yes, I already knew you, although I don't have access to my old account), but I found it strange that I didn't know that. Well, I'm now looking very forward to this game, instead of nearly not caring. Thank you!

EDIT: A blog? Jeez, I guess I should read it right now... And I thought Ubisoft published completely no news about this game... Thank you too.

Has anyone seen the official Rayman Facebook page? They have a new profile picture, it's Rayman holding up Globox.

[Cairnie]

OOOH nice, shame it's only a profile picture and not very high res. I have that page on my likes so...

DING! For those who don't use facebook

[Wiiola]

Thank you very much for posting that!
It looks nicer than I expected.
I don't have an account there and I'm not planning on joining that site...

[Haruka]

Cool picture! Thanks for posting here!

[IllarKallas]

Anything?

[IllarKallas]

Just say what you think.
Mine:

The whole game will have a different style and will give a fresher look to the Rayman games.
Scenarios are really different that of the past games.

Modes:

Singleplayer - Probably you'll switch characters, Rayman and Globox only.
Multiplayer - We all know them. Internet gameplay probably won't come.
An extra section with info about characters and stuff would be nice.

I won't make this list too long, DVD space isn't so big

[Gamerking]

How about a release date?

[Cairnie]

Can you keep Rayman Origins discussion in the sticky please? Posts will be merged.

And done.

[Julia_Patti]

Haha, Globox looks so small...

[Matyuv]

Interesting how merging works. This topic now has 1400+ replies and only 23 views.
Anyways I'll make it a sticky again...

[spiraldoor]

The views got reset? That’s kind of lame. It would be so much better if the threads’ views were automatically added together instead.

[Cairnie]

Yeah I know my merging skills are mad, didn't help that it was nearly time for me to head out of the door to work.

Don't do this again people.

[Lijik]

Hey guys, thought you'd all be interested to hear that the June issue of Game Informer will have a six page article about this game!
They bring it up in the last paragraph

[Rayman fan2000]

Now lets not make a line graph.
Wait, this ain't the rhyming game! Anyway, I don't know if this game will be that good, starting as some high idiots and then turning serious? And the hoodie from Rayman 3 and Rayman's wearing it? Ugh I really have a headache, I should calm down and have a rest from here before I go insane.
