Couldn't be. This trailer was when the game was already shifted into being a sequel, so having it couldn't have been Mr. Dark.

No, I actually think that Mr. Dark itself was supposed to be the Teensie in the first place. Like the player is actually fighting Mr. Dark during the Final Showdown who is later revealed to be the Teensie we see in the finished product in a later cutscene. It could have been quite a surprising reveal if it was handled well, but the awkward truth is that you can already clearly see in the E3 2011 trailer that the figure is a Teensie.
Just like how Michel shown everyone the game's ending during the conference part with gameplay. xD

Man...if only they made DLC character packs containing all the figures featured on that logo at the end of that gameplay...playing as the Prince in Origins...man...xD

Any proof that game was shifted into being a sequel at the time trailer was released? To my knowledge, it was only discovered after game was released that it was not a prequel. We can't know for sure when did they make such decission.

So do you think that the helpful Teensie taking your lums throughout the game was actually supposed to be a new character, who turns out to be Mister Dark and was changed to be the Magician during development, or that it was the Magician all along, who also turns out to be Mister Dark?

The Magician being the one who takes the Lums was a thing for quite some time, I'll have to look into it a bit more, but I think that might have already been established by E3. This image is from an earlier build of RO, but the scenario is the same:

You just shot yourself in the foot, mate. We know Ales Mansay is teensy. We now know he was a huge fan of Mr. Dark. But we don't know who or what is Mr. Dark. The dark figure in the trailer is without a doubt the Magician cosplaying as his idol.

As a side note: I got UbiRay working and he doesn't crash the game either. Playing as him doesn't require anything too major to do, just editing two lines in the save file's coding does the job entirely. 8)

Here's some proof.

You just yourself in the foot too! Of course we didn't know the status of Origins in the Rayman timeline, but the developers knew. Sometime in May was when we got the first bit of news of Origins in months at that time. And by June it had to be a sequel, because time later than that would be too late into development just to flip-flop the game prequel to sequel.

During that time, there were a few interviews that confirmed that it is called "Origins" because it returns to the roots of the franchise, which is 2d. That's the time when they stopped refering to it as a prequel. It was a little vague, but it became a little more clear when the opening of the game was shown as a trailer a few months later.

It is very likely that Mr Dark was intended to be a Teensy, given the few mistakes seen in the official website and the early artwork... but in the end, they preferred to keep it as a mystery, and gave the Magicia the role of a Teensy instead. In my opinion, that was a great decision.

It is "to fill up chourizos", as a popular expression around here says :P. In other words it means it is to entertain people for a while.

I am positive that this is a tactic for building up hype for something huge and hopefully time will prove it.

Yes, OCG, I'm sure Ubisoft is waiting for the right moment to announce Nintendo and Rayman Crossover.

Now with super casualizing!

Well... let's just say Rayman Origins story isn't that great. But it's a great game and I don't care about the story :mrgreen:

I love Retro Rayman. It's a great method of interacting with the fans in a way, and the guy who runs the page is awesome.
