Rayman 4 (early Rayman Raving Rabbids)

[Tribelle2026]

How do I control the menu? I tried using my keyboard and third party wired ps4 Play brand controller and that did nothing.

Woah, now this is a Christmas present. The only thing more exciting would be an announcement of a new Rayman 4!

[Mortamon Saturn]

That moment when Rayman 4 is revealed out of nowhere for Christmas
The wait is finally over, folks!

That sure is extremely cool!
Well, despite having no new official game, this year wasn't so bad for us Rayman fans after all! And besides the DLC announcement, we mostly have to thank the community for that!

A level called... "Sphincter Cell"

So that finally explains what were these four gross ambient files in the prototype's soundtrack on RayTunes! Seems extremely similar to the Organic Caves in concept!... Except it sounded far less disgusting.

Yeah, thinking about it some more, I think Rayomz must be a joke only enabled in developer / debug builds. At least I hope so… Please don't tell me they were actually thinking of doing that in the final game

Still getting BG&E vibes… I guess those green/red things that fly into him from defeated enemies are Lums of some kind, but they act exactly like Materia Crystals. Obviously it's because they use the same engine and reused the code, but still, it's interesting to notice such things! Not to mention that "Rayomz" feels like a portmanteau of Rayman and DomZ

K-Bups do appear in this build as part of a puzzle in the waterfall Rabbid base. You have to flood the area with them to get up to a ledge.

[PluMGMK]

Aye, I thought so. But they're recoloured too, to brown, so they're probably something… a little less appetizing…

Other demo videos of the cancelled prototype of Rayman 4 have been released on YouTube, this is huge!

I have just merged your topic with this one since the subject is already being discussed here.

Speaking of which, this is pretty cool news indeed! I encourage you all to add all the information you can to the Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype) article on RayWiki, in the "Leaked prototype" section I just created.

I guess you're right. It was actually good for Rayman. Who knew?

Also, Hunch should have put the portal news like this:

Well, that's surprising. A very pleasant present. This open world idea could have been very fun to play. But the leak also shows in what a raw state the game was. The E3 presentation is probably the most polished content of all. There's a lot of stuff to explore, under the leftovers from King Kong, BG&E, R2 and even R3. It is also worth mentioning that there is almost no content related to mini-games at this point (well, proto race maps and a warthog model are present nonetheless).

EDIT: I also believe that the documentation of the project would have given us a better insight into what the game could have been.

"Lums" model:

A warthog? as in from halo? do you have a screenshot/ directions to find it? thanks.

[Raycoder123]

Hey does anyone know how to use the editor tools to add new levels because I want rayman 4 maker to be a thing

[ChronicTraitor]

Aww, what cute Lums!
The one on the left definitely reminds me of the winged exit sign Electoons from Rayman GBC. The one on the right looks to be wearing briefs as a hat.

Been digging around the prototype myself and found a couple of notable things.

Neat little water canyon thing. Excuse the filler stuff like playing with the gun or exploring OOB with the shark since this was a video I took to show stuff to my friends.

This big robot which I've seen more and more people posting about, so I'm definitely not the first. However, I do believe that this was the robot intended to go along with the "TheRabbitRobot" level considering it has a hatch on the top of its head definitely designed for the player to go into.
(I've started calling it a Titan due to it functionally being similar to the Titans from Sonic Frontiers, which is funny)

I have a glitch, when I take damage the game crashes and the Rabbids walk strangely fast. How to fix it?

This is cool, where did you find it?

This is RIV_ride_requin, right? The shark animation is very smooth!

Where did you find that robot? It's not in another level, is it?

I don't remember seeing the first part of the level with the giant gears and all in any of the trailers, is this new?

Also, someone got Sphincter Cell to work:

Is it inspired by the Organic Cave from Phoenix Studio's cancelled Rayman 4?

Very interesting stuff! Some of those levels look complete enough to deserve their own articles on the wiki. Has anyone started making a list of the content found in the prototype, notably of the levels material enough not to be considered test stages? If not, I could start a metapage on the wiki for all to add information to and once complete enough, this could be used as a basis to create new articles and expand on the existing ones.

Sadly I don't think anybody knows how to do this just yet.

I don't think we have such a list yet. We could start with:

• Main map (filename?)
• Gear cave (RIV_Brk_Ride_Pieton)
• Underground eagle ride (Ride_A)
• Forest eagle ride (RIV_Test_Brk_Foret_FPP)
• Shark ride (filename?)
• Sphincter Cell (filename?)

I don't know how to fix it.
