Oh, they've tweaked the covers a bit - now the PS3 cover shows almost exactly the same amount of artwork as the other two. As a PS3 owner, I'm glad to see this :)

:shock: I just can't explain how awesome those screenshots are and of course the game is going to be. I love that they combined the Rayman 2(M,3) look with the Rayman 1 "weird levels" (like Band Land) and that they connected the story and bring back Rayman 1 enemies!

Good to see that the Teensies are back in their normal form (at least the playable ones), I thought that their design was changed for a minute :oops2: (because of that weird photographer Teensie with its long arms and fingers and giant eyes :shock:).

I still don't like the fact that the Hunter enemy looks like a human now (I never like it when ordinary humans enter a magical world full of unique creatures). Actually, I think it would be cool if he was the same specie as Count Razoff.

And it would be a shame if they didn't released it for PC :tssk:.

They also seem to have removed the Teensie characters from the cover. I suppose it’s better than having them half-covered up by the PEGI logo.

You don’t know that.

The blog’s been updated again to remind everyone about the conference on the 6th of June; I expect many more updates in the near future.

I might get it on the Xbox 360 plus I see nothing wrong with a Wii version cause we need a TRUE Rayman game on Wii that we been waiting 5 years to playImage No offense Rabbids but your game is the reason why a true Rayman game took 5 years to appear :pascontent:

Wii isn't a strong platform, average PC can emulate it. I think there isn't any reason to fear, even if PC version wil be canceled.

Because they...want it to be a surprise for E3, i don't know? :fou2:
Rayman3DS is right. The Wii version was initially planned to be a E3 2011 surprise, but as almost everyone here knows, a clumsy Amazon collaborator revealed that surprise one month before the E3 event in the United States of America's website. At least it releaved me knowing that they would really do it for Wii.

Calm down, no one confirmed this yet.

I am hoping they will, otherwise it would be a lost bet. But what concerns me is the piracy being a reason to stop Ubisoft from making a PC version, even with the current anti-piracy technology available.

I expect they'll bring the updated artwork (closer zoom on the top section, no teensies) across from the PAL covers to the NTSC covers. At a guess.

Hi, newbie here.

Thanks to everyone who has posted screenshots. As someone who was only six years old when the original Rayman game was released, I've found some of those screenshots to be very nostalgic. I knew 'Origins' was a return-to-roots game, and to me it seems like they've really captured the 'classic' 2D world perfectly.

My only complaint is that I think the game looks a bit too silly and I'm also not keen on the way they've redesigned Rayman. Would have been nicer if Ancel had retained the same appearence for Rayman that he had in the first game. He almost looks too cartoony now, but then again the game isn't designed with us hardcore fans in mind, it's designed to appeal to kids.

I'm (secretly) looking forward to this. Electoons? Darktoons? Mr Dark? Hunters? Moskito? 60 Levels, just like the first game? I'm sold!

And? That's not a valid reason to stop a PC version to be made.
rayguy wrote:Rayman M had multiplayer with no online possibility and it got a PC release as everyone knows...
Here's one example.

Since Rayman will become now a quadrilogy, I also remind that the trilogy was released for the PC: Rayman, Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc.

Welcome to the forum paradigm, why don't you introduce yourself in the presentation topic viewtopic.php?t=1616&start=8640 ? :)

I actually don't like when people start complaining about Rayman's design and about him (or the rest) looking "silly" (Especially fans that got shocked about this and start to do too much quick conclusions, YouTube comments are a great example). Several months back I've debated about this issue, and I think it was a smart choice making Rayman with R3 design. Who said the game would just be for kids only? Most of the veteran Rayman fans here in the forum are in average, pre- young adults.

Honestly I don't think they would create online exclusivity to the PC version. If the other consoles won't have (and these are capable to do online tasks), then I don't see why PC would get exclusive.

I also find better the co-op be in the same living room. But my problem is that my closest friend that is also a fan of Rayman lives about 1500 KMs far from me :oops2:. I can only play Rayman Origins alone.
