Interview of Michel Ancel: the fans ask the questions!

About Michel Ancel, you should really watch this if you know French: http://www.ankama.com/fr/video-j-irai-loler-vos-tombes/281885-jlsvt-michel-ancel
This has so much information. And in the small part that I've watched, he confirms Rayman will be back in 3D, hinting at it including elements from the Rayman 4 prototype he was working on before he changed it to a party game because they forced him to put it on Wii instead of PS2. It should be translated.

He mentions that he actually came up with the rabbids when Nintendo Power wanted to know about the new Rayman. He had to come up with new villains really, really quickly and those were the rabbids. So I guess that means he'll want to think harder to come up with new villains in the future.

Wait – he came up with the Rabbids on the spot when a magazine asked him who the villains of the next Rayman game were going to be? That explains a lot.

Well, when Michel Ancel was still working on the platforming game, he was asked by Ubisoft to work with the Wii's new motion controls, so he had to adapt his game to that. He didn't completely know how yet when Nintendo Power wanted news about the new Rayman. He basically rushed to make something that fit the Wii's motion controls in the week before they were going to interview him. That was the party game we know now.
I was probably just confused, but I thought he said he came up with them on a train the same week. I can't listen again right now (I'm in class), but I think I was wrong, as Nintendo Power interviewed him long after the trailers we saw. Besides, the rabbids were in the platforming game as well.
EDIT -> Huh? I heard it right. He really did say he came up with the rabbids when Nintendo Power wanted to know about it. That's odd... maybe he was confused?
 
NP: So, what are the villains going to be in the next Rayman?

Michel Ancel: Hngh.. eh... bunnies!?
 
Mad, screaming bunnies :confus:

But, wow, this is big news! I can't understand french, so I would really like to be able to read it in english.
However, I hope the whole costume gig from the prototype will be discontinued.

I believe it did, and hopefully it'll give us more answers than we've bargained for. ;)

Not really, he’s just trolling. They’ve just succeeded in separating the series; they’re not about to stick them back together.

He isn't trolling at all (if you're talking about Michel Ancel), but he also never said anything about the rabbids coming back. He said: "We lost tons of things (objects, characters, levels) when moving to a party game... well, not lost of course, they may come back." He said that last part in such a way that it sounded a bit like he was hinting at the future of Rayman.

I'll translate more from the interview tonight.

Are you sure you know what I'm talking about, or do you mean the whole new 3D game is a joke?
