An ad for Assassin's Creed III ran up just before the vid and helpful PEGI told me that what I was about was rated 18. Not knowing it was a trailer for AC, I immediately jumped to the front of my seat going "what the hell did they alter to make a Rayman game 18?!"
Good video though I guess. They could have shown better recordings where they more clearly show off the abilities. Also, I found it quite funny how they promote the Throttle Copter as some kind of super power-up that allows you to fly anywhere you want by appropriately trimming the clips. The reality is the experience only lasts four seconds or so...

If that's what they made you thought, then they have marketed well, my friend.

Yeah, the whole 'fly anywhere' (or was it just 'fly'?) thing and the way they make him seemingly go long distances is a neat trick.

Actually, just ''Now you can fly!''.

A new Rayman 3 HD trailer has been released.


I don't know what to think anymore, the game looks like its been zoomed into at points.

That's because that's exactly what they did... for the trailer, not the actual game.

Figures.
Why weren't they capable of showing ACTUAL footage?
Then again, this is Ubi...

It’s probably just a mistake.

Hang on, Rayman activated the footswitch for Master Kaag. I thought only Master Kaag could stomp those things and that's what you had to trick him into doing, though maybe my memory's just failing on me.
I must say the smoke from the Hoodboom more completes the picture of the baddy. It looks good.

It's the same as the original I think.
It's a pity though, the quality of the videos is really bad.

Really? I thought it looked quite alright. They didn't stand out a lot, as if there had been a massive revamp, but I could notice some improvements in quality. Also, the music sounded better somehow. Maybe that's just because it was the only thing you could hear as opposed to sound effects being run through.

The sound quality of the song on RayTunes is much better than the one in the trailer (listen with headphones to hear it).
There are indeed some improvements in quality in the actual game but I was talking about the quality in the trailers so far. They compressed them quite badly, which makes the whole thing not as smooth as it should be.

What do you mean? Most of the footage was directly in the form of gameplay.

Some footage is zoomed into and doesn't even seem to be from the HD version.
When I say Actual Footage, I mean footage of the actual HD version.

It was all from the HD version, the way they encoded the video just made it seem of lesser quality than the original. :/
