Project: UnLockRay ( ULR / REL )

[GOT4N]

I remember always noticing the green hands in the trailer, but I just thought it was my TV for some reasons
Also yes, there are some IGN videos in Count Razoff mansion in which you can see a lot of crowns around the mansion, there are also videos with beta music, early piggybanks, black lums and other stuff.

I remember that green hands were also present in the prototype!
I saw the IGN videos yeah, but I didn't knew there were beta black lums there
Thanks!
I'm wondering why the leptys was shooting thunders tho

[GOT4N]

Time for more updates!
There's a new method that allows to decrypt PSVita cartridges, fortunately, the only game I have on this console is Origins, so I could decrypt the game files (as they're encrypted) thanks to Major Tom!
Here's a video of the relic cutscene about Rayman it's used in vita version, altho there, it's directly from the game files itself, and not with a camera, so this is pretty much the best quality we'll ever get for this cutscene! I can give an mp4 link if it can help for the wiki!
Also, I've found this trailer on YouTube: It's a bit interesting, because we can see lock is different from final version, so it's between september and december 2002.
0:55 Rayman is blue, I think it looks like Globox textures
0:58, Globox part is vertical, it was supposed to be like that before
but most interesting is at 0:48, where we can see again the Leptys himself (not shown) but shooting some thunder, like saw in the trailer!

[Eren]

Oh God the fact that the goddamn Leptys himself was going to shoot thunders at you is darn awesome, also I didn't know they used that Rayman 2 like logo in official trailers, I only saw it sometimes on the old Rayman 3 site
Also thanks for the Origins cutscene, I wonder why these cutscenes were only in the PSVITA version, they should've been in all versions in my opinion.

I know right, leptys thing is so intriguing!
Also, I guess this is a thing?

this project unlock ray is like alternate game reality from different rayman games it will sounds in future like G-Mod or Sonic World(maybe Rayman World) to me.

Wow, nice find! Seems like Raving Rabbids was meant to have some more focus on the multiplayer, and not just "who scores the most" like it ended up being. I hope you'll be able to get the other levels to load some day, would be interesting to see them as well!

You know what, I long time ago found a screenshot of this. I think I once showed it years ago. I'll try finding it after returning from vacation.

Whats TCRF?

And you can extract and import textures now? Thats cool!
Changing fonts sounds funny too, someone should make a joke version of Rayman 2.

Too bad those old games runs ill on newer systems. I think Rayman 2 is 16 bit architecture or something, hope we on day have enough to recreate the engine.

The Cutting Room Floor, it's a Wiki which catalogues hidden and unreleased content found in games.

[PluMGMK]

R2's DRM is 16-bit, so it can't be installed on 64-bit Windows without a noCD. But the GOG version solves all that.

Been long time lol, lots of progress has been made since, I'm happy of where we are now!
By the way, Sadly nothing interesting, gets into a bootloop, present in both Wii and PC version, idk about rest of it though, notice the 2005 caption at the bottom left though, that means this title screen was likely from RRR beat'em all prototype!

[PluMGMK]

I have to say, it looks exactly like the Rayman 3 title screen, except the background map it's supposed to load is missing.

[Eren]

That's very neat, I'm guessing maybe the level in the 2006 trailer was supposed to be the background map

By the way GOT4N, I was seeing your channel and saw that you uploaded a unused animation where Rayman was basically surfing like he did with sssssam, does this mean he maybe was going to appear in the prototype?

Yeah that's my theory too, I wished it was appearing
Eren: Yes he was supposed to return back I think! There are references to a snake in game code along with eagles and sharks, also there are other animations, like the one when in the first trailer we see Rayman running and jumping over water, oh and also there is a swimming animation, I don't know if they're worth uploading

PLEASE! Show us all of your findings! There's no such thing as irrelevant content in the universe of "beta stuff archeology"!

Lol you don't have to ask that nicely xD There are more iirc, but as I said at end it's super hard to find them back

[Eeeebray]

Another great job as always! I love how TCRF is growing with unused Rayman stuff.

It is great to see all those unused animations of Rayman. Such a pity such amazing stuff got scrapped.

[SpyroGuy]

I keep wondering that what results some extensive datamining could bring to the table...if only more people would care to take a look at the game's files instead of..2-3?

[PluMGMK]

Probably worth noting that this guy is still working on his tools. I've noticed he's switched languages, from C# to D. As far as I can tell he's been able to extract a lot of Rayman 2 data, but doesn't know how to interpret it.

[Eren]

Awesome GOT4N! Thanks for sharing them! I'm surprised all these animations are still in the game.
