If they felt like it, they could have definitely made a port of Revolution by now that actually runs decently. I recall Revolution being on PS3 if you used the store, and same with Rayman 1 (which also works from the disc). The problem is there's a lot of input lag, and you can only play the PAL version unless you have a modded PS3.

Come to think of it, I wonder what the US version of it would run like on my modded one... 🤔

I suppose they didn't see the point in re-releasing multiple versions of Rayman 2 each they decided to port it to a new platform, and chose the original version instead of Revolution.

Apparently, Raycarrot has discovered that Mr. Dark will be returning in a new game mode named Mr. Dark's Garden where he will give the player challenges to compete.

WHAT?! :shock:

First there was Michel Ancel departure, and now... the return of Mr. Dark?! :shock:
It's the season of unexpected Rayman news... :shock:

Well, it's a shame he will only appear in Rayman Mini... :?
But...
I LOVE this new design! :D

So ominous... Look at this head! Look at these clawed hands!

The cloak is awesome! Patched-up, full of holes, decorated with strange patterns...

Nice hat! I see there is a coherence with his scrapped Teensie redesign for Rayman Origins and the photos in the Magician's lair! :wink:

Speaking of Teensie, thank Polokus he's still a limbless being! :oops2:

Even the little bells are here! They don't forget the little bells! :D

So there will be a "Mr. Dark's Garden"?
Is it supposed to be a reference to Betilla's Garden from Rayman Junior?
Plus, I see Mr. Dark with a quill and a scroll on an image... It's magic stuff and everything but... Reference to the Magic Book of Knowledge? Or to Andrew's "magic formula"?
Maybe I extrapolate too much... :confus:

I can't believe they brought him back! His new design is so great! They even stayed consistent with the fact that he is limbless! I wish all the Ubi Art games did that with all the characters from Rayman 1...
But why... why did it have to be for a game like Rayman Mini? Really, I would have liked Origins and Legends a lot more if they featured a great antagonist like him. That's such a waste. :'(

Yeah, it is surprising hearing all these new updates for Rayman after not getting them for so long, and especially them bringing back Mr. Dark from Rayman 1 was amazing. I'm glad we got at least this, that design is awesome! :D

It was also an excellent choice for them to do this for a UbiArt game especially, and also with that design and everything about him in general just really makes me feel like he's very much suitable for a UbiArt game. :)

This is amazing! :D I have a feeling that boombo is probably right on everything, including the Rayman Junior/Quiz references! The team who worked on this must have heard what we've been saying. :hap: :nostalgic:

I would like to see a game which uses this exact art style. I like how the characters have personalities in it, Globox is even scared just like he would have been originally. I do wish it was a main series game that Mr. Dark returned in though, or at least a game I can play...

Nice find! I really like the new Mr Dark design, it's modern but still faithful to the original game.

So it appears he will give the player challenges to compete? I wonder what this will look like!

What the absolute shit. He looks amazing--this is a dream come true twenty-five years in the making. Of course this had to be in the fourth mobile game nobody cares about, of course it did.

Can you imagine if he had appeared in Rayman Origins instead of that goofy, pig latin-speaking, Teensie-turned magician? :P

I'm reading that Ubi finally released the much anticipated Mr Dark update for Rayman Mini! It looks like he'll be tasking the player with additional objectives, as expected.

Oh wow, it took about four months from when we first got wind of it. I'd assumed it was out long ago! :oops2: Well, this again makes the case for using his brand-new appearance in the new ranklist! :mrgreen:

Yeah, I had completely forgotten about it by now. So, has anyone given it a try yet? What are the challenges like?

The question is which content has ubisoft forgotten to remove this time :mrgreen:

I think the comeback of Mr.Dark is teasing a new rayman game, even if ubisoft "officially" says no.
I don't think they bring him back just for this update...
