Rayman Pirate-Community

A lot of the Boss's in Rayman Origins do hurt themselves, revealing their weak spots - which is sort of like killing themselves I guess...

Guh I'm all for a new 3D Rayman but I really don't understand the agenda against more 2D Rayman games, if anything Origins did the franchise a favour.

2D is alright,but 3D is better imo.I've been waiting for a 3D game and,although 2D is ok to help waiting,I think it's time to get what I've been waiting for since 2003.

the teleporting pirate from rayman revolution was not a boss?

Are you talking about the pirates that drill through the ground?

Talking about big bosses....Jano is totally going to appear in Rayman Origins 2. I mean, like, it's obligatory. He just assumed the role of a "teaser element" in the manual and the website of the first game; he deserves more that than! He MUST be in Rayman Origins 2, because I know Michel Ancel hasn't forgot him. The appearance of Jano is even more probable than the return of the Magician (Uh... is the magician dead already?).

Maybe he means the generator guards? Well, those wouldn't be bosses I'd say; you can't kill them. You just have to destroy the generator and then they'll disappear, if I remember correctly.

Plus, they also didn't get that short movie that zooms in upon the boss and states the boss' name and title.

Fail.

Come to think about it, Origins being a slightly separate franchise sounds like the best way to content both 2D and 3D fans. I happen to like both anyway...

That would be a perfect move from ubisoft.

I’d be more interested in a Rayman 1 sequel than a Rayman Origins sequel.

I think Rayman 1's sequel is Rayman 2,don't you?

But no one forbides Ubisoft to do a direct sequel to Rayman 1 and being a Rayman 2 prequel at the same time.

What I meant was that I’d like to see a game which replicates the gameplay, tone and artistic style of the original, in the same way that Rayman Origins 2 will presumably replicate Rayman Origins. In other words, something like this:

I'd like to see that too! Something like the R2 prototype.

I suppose, but pretty much the entire cast of Rayman 1 was wiped off in Rayman 2 and, I know I've said this too many times before, Rayman 2 confused the canon of Rayman 1 by stating that Rayman is the only one of his kind.

Rayman 2 only avoided the subject of Rayman’s species; it never stated that they were dead or that they didn’t exist.

The R2 Prototype would be one of the games I would like to see it recycled and finished.

Something I'd love to know is whether the bonus levels playable in the PlayStation version of Rayman 2 are all that came out of the 2D project, or if there's a lot more we haven't had a chance to see yet. Hopefully, the upcoming interview will bring its load of answers!

This is true, but the line "And then there's you... nobody knows where you came from or who your parents were." from the Knowledge of the World is very suggestive, though not conclusive, you're right.

You know I would LOVE to have found that really early advert that I am convinced it said Rayman was "the last of his race" but I don't even think I have the magazine it was in anymore. It was from a Nintendo one from late 1999 when the N64 one was coming out.

People on each side of the fence can both suck it up and get used to it. I say let Origins keep its status as another installment in the series, no need for it to be a sub-series.
