That's to be expected, I'm not quite sure of the situation either.
Why did you even bring "porpoise" up though? My purposeful grammatical error at least fit the situation. :?

Ok, those last few post edits were confusing. Anyway,

I was just being a dick, don't worry about it, I'm like that sometimes. (I never mean any harm.)

Ok, now that that's cleared up where were we?

Hey RayFan, got anything to add to my thoughts on the original trailer for RO?

Also, if you look closely at the end of the trailer when Rayman & Globox are fighting Big Mama, when they punch the flies they burst into little circle with faces similar to the Electoon faces in the final product. Do you think this was supposed to be an Electoon re-design, or something new? It seems to...different to be a re-design. Also just before it cuts to the RO title, Globox seems to receive some sort of Gold Medallion. A skull Coin maybe?

Not really, but I'll share my thoughts: Not really. In my opinion the environments they have now are much more well put together, and even though I've complained quite a bit about the retail Origins not having a very Raymany feel, I think this trailer, aside from the beginning scene and the scene where Rayman and Globox are running through a silhouette, had even less of it. On top of that, the animations looked like crap compared to the smooth and flowing ones we have now.

On the up-wishing-side, it would have been nice to see some of the gameplay elements they had like the helicopter fan.

Ah yes, but is there really just one section we can define as being "Raymany"? I mean, if something new is introduced, it can't automatically be "Raymany" can it? It first has to be accepted as a permanent addition. Like bubblization. So even if some of the features you don't agree with were implemented, they may have fallen into the "Raymany" criteria sooner or later.

I was moreso referring to the environment; it just didn't look appealing. I'm not sure I understand how your post totally relates to mine though.

Does anyone here think these two birds might be the same character?

If they are, then why do they have completely different feathers, are of different sizes, and one clearly dies while the other turned back into one of the kings?

Spiral is not satisfied with the opinions in the wiki, I guess.

Sorry but I keep mine.

I am too tired to recapitulate the arguments I posted on the talk page. Never mind.

No, not really. Cuz' the first one was bubblized early in the game. Also, normal bird king is not yellow.

Edit: Anyway I beat The land of the Livid Dead just a little while ago. I really enjoyed it.

I beat the Land of the Livid Dead a while ago, and yesterday my friend came over. (He wanted to play CoD but I bribed him into playing RO) We played tLotLD and it took us 50 minutes to beat it. Best fun I've ever had, and when we won we went crazy and were like,

Quite the contrary actually, it was the grannies that did most of the slapping the shit out of things. It was quite difficult, because he was Regular Globox and I was GlobRay, so during tight moments we couldn't tell who was who at times.

The Land of the Livid Dead is great fun. I don't normally die until the part with all the fire...there it all goes wrong :(

Lol, for me it's usually the opposite. I die quite a bit on the first part, but the fire part is quite fun for me.

You can sometimes take the first part for granted and die really easily. How do you do the fire level without dying? I find it easy to go through it then die at the checkpoint, so I respawn when the fire's still about to start.
