Rayman Raving Rabbids

[Droolie]

I can't wait until tomorrow, because then E3 will start! Maybe they WILL show something !

*please ubi! release a video or a pic or a screenshot or the title or ...*

The game looks rushed, but it still took them four years. Not three. Most game companies can make insane games in two years, and it takes Ubisoft four years to make an average-good game. The Rayman team is either too small or too lazy. They don't have to take their time on a game, they just have to use their time efficiently. That's what's wrong with them, they're not rushing anything at all.

I'm wondering if not even being made by the same team would have anything to do with it too... It seemed that all Ancel did for R3 was help out with the new character design.

E3 STARTS TODAY!!!!!!!

Yeah, I know. I'm sure it should go better if he's part of the team again.

Happy Birthday Ryan, lol!

[Xenon]

Happy birthday and happy E3 day!

[Phoenixan]

Yeah, I know. I'm sure it should go better if he's part of the team again.

If I remember right, he didn't work on R3 so he could work on BG&E, and I thought that game was awesome. lol I'm wondering what the second game to that's going to be like. There's supposed to be a trilogy...

[Jona]

Yeah, but at some point I also heard they were not going to make a sequel because of poor sales. Right now I don't know what they're going to do. I hope they will make a second one though, I'm longing for more good platform games on PC. And I hope they'll make it bigger this time. In the beginning it looks like a damn long game, but there are only four missions actually, which are possible to complete in around 3 hours. Yes, getting all the pearls and animals. Don't ask how long it took me to achieve it though...

It isn't all that hard to get all the pearls and animals. I did it the 2nd time playing through. It's very quick and easy if you just snap and collect as you go along.

And yes, the game is surprisingly short... _ _ When I first beat it, I was like, "WAS THAT ALL?!! ><"

[Jona]

Of course it's pretty easy to find them (especially once you get the detectors) but then you still have to do everything as quickly as possible, leaving some treasures for what they are, and stuff... it's quite hard if you do it that way.

Happy b-day Ryan, lol! I'm off to check E3 articles on the polish gaming center.

It's funny though... if you go fast enough, you can sometimes mess up the dialog.

[Jona]

Yeah, it's lovely how going fast messes up the game in some aspects. Some glitches are just pure frustration though, because you can get stuck in some places at times. And a perfect run almost doesn't exist. Of course you could try to restart each checkpoint if you didn't do perfect... or you can take a chance and only save when you're close to one of those computers. But in the factory and slaughterhouse, you have to find specific ways to beat the Alpha Sections quickly. It's possible to rush into a room and use the special attack (you absolutely need that powerup from Ming Tzu's shop) on them. It will get them killed pretty quickly most of the time, and then you can move on. Oh yeah, I remember a bit somewhere that allows you to beat all the Alpha sections before you get into that room. It's the room where three Alpha Sections walk around (one near the bit where you enter the room, you can usually beat him in his back before he notices) and two others, of which one comes to you when you beat up the first one. And it has one of those instant kill turrets as well. Just before you enter that room, you can use the special attack to beat all those Alpha sections in one go. It's pretty hard to get them in the right position though. ^^

[Ogre]

Talking about deadly turrents I simply hate that level with mist and 4 Alpha Section guys at Slaughterhouse. I got Geforce 2 and the game was soooo slow. It took 5 min to make Jade turn around, crouching. Races PWN anyway.

[Jona]

Yeah, I know. On my new computer that bit where you first encounter turrets totally lagged out as well. It wouldn't have been so bad without the mist...

[Droolie]

No news of Rayman 4?

[Ogre]

Nope. You can check polish reports about it, if you know the language, lol.

Ah well.

At least it's GUARANTEED for next year, guys!

[somenobody]

E3 STARTS TODAY!!!!!!!

Although it's May 20th now, you're wrong.

E3 is from May 18-20.

Wait a second, what's guaranteed for next year? I've kinda not been here for a long time...

[Xeiqu]

Ugh... We were told about half a year ago by Darkam that the game would be out before 2007.

By the way, for those of you who don't know yet: I discovered what Michel is working on!

Look in the forums...
