The General: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

In the PC version of ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'', the General appears in the intro cutscene. He instructs the protagonist Ed regarding his objectives in the game before a court at which he is being reprimanded for spilling the titular tonic.

An image of the General was shown in a promotional video for [[Rayman 2 (2D prototype)|the now-cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']], along with other characters such as the ~~‘pre-Henchman 800’~~ and [[Betilla the Fairy]]. Another image of him was printed in a magazine containing a brief article on the then-upcoming game, showing him in a prominent position. Another piece of artwork shows [[Rayman]] sneaking up on him as he stands atop a wrecking ball like [[Count Razoff]], while smoking his cigar and apparently shouting orders to his servants~~. All of this suggests that the General may have had a much larger role early on in the game's development, possibly as the main villain~~.

An image of a character with a very similar appearance to the General, named the Chief, was shown in a promotional video for [[Rayman 2 (2D prototype)|the now-cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']], along with other characters such as the Guard and [[Betilla the Fairy]]. Another image of him was printed in a magazine containing a brief article on the then-upcoming game, showing him in a prominent position. Another piece of artwork shows [[Rayman]] sneaking up on him as he stands atop a wrecking ball like [[Count Razoff]], while smoking his cigar and apparently shouting orders to his servants.
