I love Let's Play's made by CDDZeo. You don't know him because he's Polish. He did LP's of games like Street Fighter, Asterix & Obelix XXL, and... Rayman 2 and Rayman 3! So why do I like him so much?

See, 1. he's got a French accent ( :mrgreen: ), 2. he can't say the letter ''R'' properly, 3. he actually knows a decent lot of stuff about Rayman and NEVER said ONE word of shite, except when he called the Tribelles ''butterflies''.

If the second thing happens, then I would like to know which ideas do they have to surpass the sucess of RO.

Also, I'm worried about the continuity, Rayman Origins was possibly made for two reasons: to give the fans some explanations about this weird but wonderful world... and to evade a sequel. Yes, I mean, if you notice, rayman never defeated the rabbids, and making a sequel that starts with everything ok would be weird. Even when the rabbids got so much hate from the original rayman fans, the games are sadly part of the rayman continuity, They may be retarded, but somehow they caught rayman, conquered the glade of dreams and then the earth...the tv...the moon... time...then 3d...then reality...etc. The last time we saw rayman in "present times"...was when he was running away from the rabbids, at the ending of RRR:TVP

When rabbids and rayman where confirmed to be "separated franchises", that doesn't mean that they are now part of a different universe. That just gives the opportunity to give the rabbids their own games (because motion gaming fans LOVE the rabbids). Rabbids are for rayman what Wario is for Mario, they have their own games (wario land, mario galaxy), but they share the same universe (we can see both of them in mario party, for example). Also... rabbids where confirmed to face rayman again, I saw it in an interview when "rabbids go home" was announced.
I think that from now on Ubisfot will care more about the continuity.A think too that the next game will be 3D ike R2 and R3,
and in my opinion they should do domething like Rayman Kart or some sports games like Mario does,but once we get the next 3D game.I have to admit that the Rabbid era wouldn't have been so terrible if the other three players were Globox,Ly and Bzzit for example...Imagine Mario Party with Rayman,Ly,Betilla,Moskito,Bzzit,Mr. Sax,Mr. Stone,Mr. Skops,Mr. Dark,Razorbeard,Henchman 800,Hoodlums,Andry,Reflux...That would be great.Or all those characters in a Rayman Kart for consoles with online mode!
Would be amazing!

NO! Just no, remember what happened LAST time Rayman was a party game? Those FUCKING rabbids destroyed his reputation and reduced him to a mere title-tag! NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, should they make another party/racing game for Rayman. You can't compare Rayman to Mario.

I hope they start making lots of great Rayman games, and that then everyone would play them and Mario and Sonic would die. Then we'll be left with the great Mario and Sonic games and Nintendo and Sega won't ruin them!

Mario will never die by the way. Now for Sonic, the problem is his fanbase.

I think that would be great because Ubisoft didn't make it right.The playable characters should be Ly,Betilla,Rayman,Murfy,Teensie King,Razorbeard,Andry,Hoodlum,Henchman800,Globox,etc. and as much as I don't like it,a Rabbid because wether I like it or not it's still an important character of the series and can't lack in a party/racing game...but I repeat I don't like it...that way Rayman wouldn't loose any protagonism! :D but as I said I want a new 3D game before

Yes, the situation is similar to that of the Metal Gear Solid series. MGS2 had such a bizarre ending that the developers chose to make MGS3 a prequel simply so they didn’t have to deal with it.

What makes you so sure the Rabbids games are still an official part of the Rayman series? It’s clear enough that the developers of the first game did not know what they were getting into, and the sequels become progressively more ridiculous and disconnected from the Rayman games. Now we’ve been told that the series have ‘separate destinies’. I wouldn’t be taken aback in the slightest by a Rayman 4 which takes place a few years after Rayman 3 and completely ignores the Rabbids games.

That was two years ago. Rayman Origins didn’t exist back then. Plans have changed. As I mentioned already, Ancel stated at E3 2011 that the two series now have ‘separate destines’. I don’t think there’s anyone out there who actually wants another crossover.

Well, the first Rayman Raving Rabbids was good if you ask me. The only think that sucked was THE MOTHA FUCKIN ENDING!!! It sucked so much!!! so much effort in vain! I don't have any problems with the new characters, the pig had a bizarre appareance and made funny noises, the cow happens to fit with the rayman characters, those enormous fat elephant-demon creatures were awesome, they reminded me how dark was rayman 3, the bat was awesome, even if the minigame was hard. I don't have any problem with the characters, because characters seem to change in EVERY rayman game.

The second one sucked, it doesn't even have an ending. The third one is funny, for real! but it only as a party game (literally works as a PARTY GAME, 8 people can play it), but story mode makes rayman just look ridiculous :/

Anyway... I think that the original rayman 4 was going to suck, I mean, is the same concept from RRR GBA/DS, you are forced to stop and change clothes to use an ability that is handy only for some seconds , unlike rayman 3 where the idea is to solve puzzles and beat to find the powers and get to the next stage. also, you had to SHAKE to run, and shake both of remote and nunchuk at the same time to jump, and also you have to bitchslap your enemies like 20 times! and there are like 1000 of those rabbids and you have to beat them one per one, unless you use that weird cowboy-like movement where you take one big rabbid and then spin the shit out of yourself to hit a lot of them at the same time. The part where rayman rides the bird looks interesting, but I can't get how you would control the tarantula.

That's ridiculous, we barely have any information on the R4 prototype. The trailer was nothing, the remotes in it weren't even real Wiimotes!

Despite of the lack of information about the prototype of Rayman 4, I am sure that it would be inferior to what Rayman Origins is becoming. I do prefer the story of Rayman Origins than the prototype Rayman 4.

Of course, but it wouldn't have sucked.

I wouldn't want either to die, but I do want both to share more of the attention with other franchises, including Rayman.
