Rayman Origins

[Haruka]

To highlight what I said two posts ago:

[ikke471]

The nimph looks sexy XD
The exit sign looks good too!
But why are there 2 grand minimus teensie's?
Edit: is it be or does the last pic looks like the longest shortcut?

Apparently I wasn't as wrong as I was being pointed back in May when I said the "hat" could be the Magician hat. The ending of both videos will confuse plenty of you because you see the "suppoused Mr. Dark" smiling while holding a test tube, and it happens that in his hat there is a star just like the Magician's hat. Here it comes the doubt: is this the redesigned Magician, or is this Mr. Dark when he was a good person?

This is all so ridiculously funny to me, because it fits perfectly with my cancelled game's story! Since it's cancelled now, it doesn't hurt to reveal the most surprising plot twist I was going to have: Mr Dark is the magician. The magician was going to send the main character Electrix on a journey to get the Great Protoon back from Mr Dark, as a way to "test" Electrix. If he'd die, that'd be okay for him because Electrix would be useless to him then anyway. In the end, after defeating the professor robo-pirate who had imprisoned/killed (that was the first version, but it was a bit... dark) Electrix's companion, Electrix would enter a room with nothing but Mr Dark's cloak on the floor, and the magician standing there beside it as if he had just defeated him. After an epic conversation, it is revealed that they're one and the same person, and it's boss battle time. Later, he gives you an "ultimate test", which is basically like all the magician challenges, but deadly and far more difficult than you're used to. It was all going to be perfectly executed, of course, so it wouldn't sound silly at all. It's cancelled though. *sigh*

Anyway it was based off the fact that the magician never shows his eyes (they might just be yellow!), he always plays with Rayman as if he didn't have anything better to do, he seems to be everywhere in the world (so why is Rayman going on that journey for him then?) and both Mr Dark and the Magician like the same colours (pink and purple shoes, like the main colours used in Mr Dark's boss room). Mr Dark also just flees at the end of the game so it's possible. Very, very far-fetched though.

But it looks like they might just use that plot twist! The Origins teensie looks like a mix between the Magician and Mr Dark. Also that test tube with all the lums stuffed into it... that's evil. I like it.

/SPECULATION

Also, more speculation: since Mr Dark is larger than a normal teensie, maybe the magician teensie is his son? Or something like that.

when I saw two kings I was like "whaaaaat xD" that was a glitch, we can clearly see that the game is not complete yet xD

I'm totally impressed, now the teensy that was rumored to be mr dark is...the magician?! O.O

Well, I can perfectly understand why, because rayman was supposed (since rayman 2) to be unique in his species. That's why livingstones and the hunters started to have limbs.

But if that's the magician... why did he make a epic and dark appeareance in the second trailer? that's weird, it looks like michel ancel is playing with our minds. Anyway, it doesn't look like there's a main evil antagonist in this game, all of the villians happen to work independently.

We don't know anything about the giant pink monster with a lot of eye, but the giant ship is supposed to steal the walking chess, the carnivorous plant wants to eat them, the giant sea worms too, the granny wants to kill them because they're making a lot of noise. There's no connection between bosses. They're just nightmares dreamed by polokus that rayman must destroy :/

About the videos... they're just pure awesomeness, but I didn't see the photographer on the first video, so I hope that he's not scrapped X__x

It would be confusing being the same guy, in Rayman Junior both Magician and Mr. Dark are seen in the intro cinematic.

[TeensieKing]

I really liked the zombie couple, specially the lazyass husband xD the granny's voice is really creepy xD

Oh, and about the grimace...

TA-DAH!!!




Don't be happy, guys, obviously this isn't official, this is just a fanart that I just made because I was bored XD

It's very very VERY good.Your drawing skills are AMAZING! I thought it was official!

And,I like the fact that there are different fairies with different hats.That means the fairy we thought was Ly may be another of those fairies/nymphs,because he has a sexy design and a hat too.I would bet my tings that wasn't Ly.Well,about the Magician-Mr. Dark issue,I think it's Mr. Dark,or maybe a new character or simply a Mr. Dark costume for a character? But I think a redesigned Magician,still would have to share his general features should be still there,like his long blond hair and the fact that he's the same species as Rayman...

[Mr. Dark Thingamajig]

maybe Mr. Dark and the magician are Brothers
they have almost the same hat, same hair,almost the same clothes, both wizards

[Shrooblord]

Ah, yes, but if Mr. Dark can so easily create an evil ghostly alter ego of Rayman, then he could also easily duplicate his own being! At least for a small period of time.

Wow, Droolie, that sounds like it would have been an awesome game!
But you're right - think of the implications it would have if Mr. Dark and the Magician were the same person! Betilla trusts the Magician, so no doubtedly he knows all kinds of things that would easily have led him to the Great Protoon - where was the Magician when Mr. Dark stole it? Would he not help out his dear friend? And it would be logical for Mr. Dark to keep an eye on Rayman - as the Magician said in the intro cinematic to Rayman, he actually did! But maybe, maybe it wasn't with his binoculars, but by appearing as his alter-ego the Magician... Hahaha, I like this new thought - it's a keeper!

Seriously though, I wonder what would possibly turn a friendly magician Teensie bad, and into Mr. Dark... don't answer that - I'm learning far too much about Origins as it is already; unlike some, I do definately not want to know what everything in the game is, not before I have it anyway - that would spoil things and I don't like spoilers.

EDIT:

And,I like the fact that there are different fairies with different hats.That means the fairy we thought was Ly may be another of those fairies/nymphs,because he has a sexy design and a hat too.I would bet my tings that wasn't Ly.Well,about the Magician-Mr. Dark issue,I think it's Mr. Dark,or maybe a new character or simply a Mr. Dark costume for a character?

I might need to inform you that the English word 'he' refers to males?
But yes, agreed, if it was the Magician from Rayman 1, he should look more like the Magician. Sure, the Teensie has the same clothes, but people can wear the same clothes as others - fashion followers do it all the time!

Yeah,I sometimes write he instead of she...it happens to me when I speak too :S I will have to fix that

Yes,wel..Reayman,Magician,Musician and Tarayzan.I wish Ancel put all those textures for Rayman...well,dreams are just dreams

[Shrooblord]

Yes,wel..Reayman,Magician,Musician and Tarayzan.I wish Ancel put all those textures for Rayman...well,dreams are just dreams

Hang on... I was thinking, maybe when it's released and fans get their hands on how the system works, maybe they can make...

CUSTOM SKINS!

I'm almost sure they will be able when the Wii version comes out,because if the hackers find .szs/.brres/.pcs/.pac files,then we will be able to explore the archives and see and freely edit the textures.And this game is a very wanted game,so if it has a new file format (I hope it won't) someone will get to open them

Edit: I would be able to make custom skins for you if I had some way to edit the textures

[Mr. Dark Thingamajig]

that is the magician, look at Mr. Dark RO and the magician(RO and R1), you see the differences, mostly in the hat
EDIT: i don't like the new fairy/nymph much, i hope there will come more - maybe one in blue

[Shrooblord]

But yes, agreed, if it was the Magician from Rayman 1, he should look more like the Magician. Sure, the Teensie has the same clothes, but people can wear the same clothes as others - fashion followers do it all the time!

He could also be a new character wearing the same clothes, as someone wisely stated above - that wise statement has been quotationated.

that's to an argument

[sergiomonty]

LOL maybe after unlocking all of the characters, when you get a 100%, the bubble dreamer says to you "I see that you're a player with good skills, so now I grant you the power to be a god" and you can customize your own characters XD that would work perfectly on wii, like Rabbids go Home o.o

P.D: thanks for your opinions about my grimace face rayman! I have here some sketches about characters like razorbeard, clark, murfy and razoff, but I feel tired to color them -.- if you want, I can show you the sketches, but won't be finished.

P.D2: seriously, I'm worried, where's the photographer?! was he scrapped?! sweet polokus, no!!! maybe he only appears in some levels...right?...but he shouldn't disappear!! he's awesome!
