Rayman Legends

[Master]

Out of curiosity, do we have more than one leaked screenshot to support that The Magician is in the game? Seeing how things can be lost during development (such as Tar-Ray-Zan in Origins), is there more concrete proof that he will be in the final product?

We can see him in a demo video from Gamescom :

I noticed that his hat has changed a bit, when we compares it in this video with the one on this old leaked screenshot :

Ah, I see, I haven't seen that tidbit before, thank you for clearing that up.

I was actually thinking the same thing as Sergio, my first impression was that it was an incredibly rushed, fast-paced and nonsensical show, which probably isn't the case for most of them(?). Where is a good place to start? It must be a decent show at the very least because I feel like one of the only people who knows virtually nothing about it.

There's an episode called "Blink" which is one of the series's best, and which is also very clever in that the main characters hardly appear – it's told entirely from the perspective of a normal person. "Dalek" and "The Girl in the Fireplace" are very good, well-realised stories that don't require any prior knowledge of the series. I really liked the stand-alone television film with Paul McGann, but I don't know if that's the common view. My favourite episode of all is a two-parter called "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead". Most of the Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant episodes are self-contained, but the Matt Smith ones have an ongoing mystery arc that only works if you watch them in chronological order.

Please give me my brain and my heart back.

Please guys, could we discuss about Rayman Legends only ? Because tell me if i do a mistake, but this topic is called "Rayman Legends", no ?


If you want to talk about movies or series, you can go here :

[Master]

I've said this many-a-times, but here I go again.
Topics like these, when there is nothing to discuss, will go off-topic, if you were to trawl back through all the pages of the RO topic, there were times were the subject matter was extremely off-topic, unfortunately that is the way it is, when someone does have an interesting relevant subject to discuss, discussion will be relevant once more, 'till then, there isn't much to do but discuss something else really.

I have a doubt, is the release date at 28th February or 1st March afterall? I see even more places confirming to be day 28 while games are released in Fridays in Europe.

[sergiomonty]

Nintendo Direct tomorrow. It will talk a lot about many Wii U first party games (hopefully, new announcements) and new software for the console. I'm pretty excited. I know Rayman Legends is not first party, but who knows.

Dragon as the final boss? This is not the Hobbit! An appearance in the medieval level for sure but I'm expecting an epic boss battle.... magician NOT included.

And why you say magician is not included ? He's in the game.

What i meant was i don't WANT the magician to be in the game or as any boss! Tbh.... i don't like him as a reoccurring character, he's not that good!..... i said it don't kill me.

I agree, the Magician is just a simple character now that they changed him into a Teensie, but on the other hand he does add a lot more to the story instead of just some random villain that wants to take over the Glade.

Nigga that's racist.

[Squiz]

But in Rayman Origins, the magician was an usurper.

I think in Rayman Legends, it will be the real magician.

[spiraldoor]

The usurper thing was in relation to Mr Dark. There's no indication that anyone was impersonating the Magician – that would make things even more ridiculously convoluted and confusing than they already are.

[Squiz]

So, maybe the Magician will be back in Rayman Legends, with his idol Mr. Dark ? But I don't think it's possible.

It will probably be an other magician, the real one from Rayman 1.

[Haruka]

We cannot be sure right now if the Magician is going to return or not, regardless if its idolizing Mr. Dark or not. So far we only saw his hat in the leaked development videos that weren't planned to be released to public view, and the first public trailer. Since then, we almost know nothing about the definitive things of the final version, a big contrast with what happened with Rayman Origins that a lot of stuff were shown (And yet many things got scrapped). I guess we only have to wait for the release of the game: 28th February, it seems, for Europe.

You forgot that we can see his hat in a video from gamescom 2012.

[Haruka]

I don't think I watched the video of Gamescom 2012. Can you show me?

[Squiz]

I posted it above.

I paste you my message from yesterday :

[Haruka]

My bad, I didn't see the video before.

Interesting to see that Shadow Rayman. Does anybody in here knows German?

[Adsolution]

I know German, but they're speaking English in the video. That is, unless you're not talking about the video?

EDIT: Whoops, that link sent me to the beginning of the video at first, but worked the second time. Here are the translated dialogues:


Fangen von Michel Ancel! Keiner kriegt mich! (This one translates strangely, but it basically means that the ghost was played by Michel); Can't catch me!

Die jagd ist eroffnet The hunt is on

Zeit abgelaufen! TIme's up!

Er Kliene war wohl zu schnelle He was a little too fast

I suppose I'll take a look at the Matt Smith series then, despite me being quite a fan of Tennant.
