Rayman Legends

[Rulez]

Nice save.

[GNineify]

What the fuck did I do.

[Disionity]

Well... I can't really conjure any words to describe my reaction to the Magician returning, other than lukewarm. Just long he isn't the primary villain and he is taken care of "properly", I'm fine with it.

[TeensieKing]

Wait when did they reveal the Magician returning?

[Master]

Look who's back.

[Earth Gwee]

Honestly, now really can't wait for this. It's nice to know I can pre-order it now.

The only thing I wish is for Rayman's Assassin's Creed costume to be put on the Wii U instead of on the PS3. Kinda makes me want to get both those versions.

[sergiomonty]

You kidding? I'm a completionist, and it hurts my soul not to have all of the three costumes in one game. Who had this ridiculous idea of console-exclusive characters? oh right, Spiraldoor, lol. (Ubisoft spies our comments... I know it.... I've seen too many coincidences...)

[Earth Gwee]

True, having all three on one game would be even nicer. But I'm still very much loving Rayman's awesome AC costume.

You got the best costume... the Splinter Cell skin is also cool, and brings back good memories from 2005.... And the Barbara skin... well, it's okay, but...you know... not as badass as Rayman Assassin. A Zombi U Rayman would have been cool too.

[Master]

I'm compelled to agree with Segio, the PS3 AC skin certainly seems to be the best of the bunch.
I've often seen Pre-Order content eventually emerge as DLC, strange as it would be, I wonder if there is a possibility that Legends may be host to DLC.

Hopefully.

I want all of the skins... just saying.

If I only get Aveline and am never able to get Kenway Rayman and Tom Clancy Rayman... I'll go bananas. Aveline is not even on a Nintendo console... she's a PS Vita exclusive character.

[Haruka]

I really like the AC Rayman, but I also don't mind the AC Barbara. Sadly the SC Rayman is the least favourite for me.

[GNineify]

Will assassin Rayman slay enemies in a family inappropriate way?

Will assassin Rayman slay enemies in a family inappropriate way?

Probably not. It's more likely that he'll just have the exact same moveset, but with a different skin... as usual.

Now thinking about it, it would not be so bad if the Magician was the primary villain, just as long as he was integrated into the story in a compelling and meaningful way, akin to the pointless "fan-fiction" I wrote when the thread was having another lack of activity several months ago.

Perhaps, like a few other people noted, Barbara could have sisters. If so, all of the worlds could be connected then lead to this plot premise that I thought of:
Many years ago, in The Glade of Dreams, lived a brilliant artist that had a special gift, and a curse as well. What ever he painted came to life in existence without his control. He tried to quit painting all together, but something in him kept to telling him to keep on. One day he painted 5 portraits, each one showing a different world from a different era. when he had finished, he left his tent to get some food and his five young and curious daughters were playing in the woods that day and came across the tent. For their father had kept the tent as well as his gift a secret from them to protect them. Out of curiosity, they went inside the tent and were awed by the marvelous worlds they saw coming out of the paintings. Then something went wrong, all was not right in the worlds their father had created, the balance was shifting, things were going insane, they were scared and didn't know what to do. Their father had then came back into the tent seeing that his creations had gone horribly awry. Then his daughters were being forced into the worlds and the paintings started to close in. Soon the paintings had shut, leaving his children sucked into the canvases. He was going to destroy the paintings, but soon realized any hope of someday retrieving his children would be destroyed if he went on with it.
All happiness in his life was gone now, thanks to his doing, thus he went into hiding to make sure no one else suffered the same fate as his beloved daughters. Present Day, Rayman and his best of pals were journeying in the forests of the Glade and bumped into an old, weathered tent, and out of their own naiveness, they went inside. They came across a series of captivating paintings each one telling the story of a different world. For these were the paintings the artist had made many years ago, they have lain dormant for some time. They focus their attention on a mid-evil painting and are suddenly sucked in. They discover each painting has its own series of problems, and that the creator's daughters are trapped in every painting, thus they decide to set things right in the worlds, rescue Barbara and her sisters, and get back to the Glade. In the Glade of Dreams, The Magician rises up from the rubble that was once a powerful air fortress, and plots his revenge on Rayman and the Glade. He hikes to the mountains to find a place of work and finds the artist's humble abode were the troubled man has been secluded for over a century. He takes in the mischievous Magician, not knowing of his previous doings. The artist tells him of his past, The Magician then claims he knows a way to retrieve his daughters from the paintings, but it will require magic and the artist's gift. The now enthusiastic artist agrees with the Magician's terms and they carry out his plan. What The Magician really plots to do is to use the artist's ability to trap the Glade of Dreams in a canvas and let the worlds in the paintings run rampant so he can rule the land, and get rid of Bubble Dreamer once and for all. Finally after journeying through all the paintings, Rayman and his new band of heroes find out that something has gone wrong in the Glade. And thus, they must infiltrate and stop the Magician's plot. Afterwards foiling the Magician's plan, the Magician, in a last resort steals the artists brush and some magic. Without knowing the power of these two, the Magician accidentally destroys himself by playing with two forces that weren't supposed to be mixed. The artist is then reunited with his children, he deems that his skill could fall into the wrong hands again if he stays in the Glade any longer, thus he and his daughters jump into the painting he created for the Magician and then live in peace. All is right in the Glade of Dreams now, thanks to Rayman and his pals, now they go back to their regular activities and await the next adventure.

I HOPE YOU'RE READING THIS UBISOFT!!!

One of the best wastes of an hour in my life.

[Shrooblord]

Funnily enough, while I appreciate the AC Rayman's style more, I like the Splinter Cell one best. There's something about that cool green glow in the eyes, man...

[Adsolution]

Sadly the SC Rayman is the least favourite for me.

Really? Hyehua, I think it's my favourite.

[sergiomonty]

I remember enjoying your fanfic a lot, but I don't know, with all the footage shown, I would prefer a simple plot for Rayman Legends.

[Disionity]

I'd have to say Splinter Cell Rayman is my favorite as well. I hope you enjoy it Xbox 360 owners!

[Rayfist]

Hm... I'm possibly guessing the others may be released as DLC possibly? Who knows.
I'm thinking this game will be ported to the PC eventually similar to Origins, and possibly the pc version will have it's own pre-order bonus?
Just guessing.
