Rayman 2 (early production): Difference between revisions

Many textures which were later used in the Playstation version can also be found in the files for the PC version suggestion they were originally meant to be included there as well. These include the textures for [[Antitoons]] and the stone with [[Ly|Ly's]] face. Textures from the Dreamcast version were found as well, such as the textures for [[Eig]]. Some leftovers, such as controller icons, where found from the Nintendo 64 version.

==Demo==

There were two different demos made for ''[[Rayman 2]]'', both of them including two parts from [[the Fairy Glade]].

[[File:R2 Demo.png|thumb|The pause menu in the demo]]

Although the demos are very similar and include the same levels, there are some minor differences.

=== Differences from ''Rayman 2'' ===

*[[Rayman]] falls into the level after the pirate animation in the first demo, instead of afterwards like in the final version.

*The total amount of cages show 0 in the first demo, instead of 7 like in the final version. [[Cage]]s can however still be broken and will result in it showing 1/0 etc.

*Rayman starts with the upgraded fist from [[the Canopy]].

The following text was found in the PC versions files. The text from the demo mostly includes minor differences, such as misspellings and incorrect grammar. Only the text that differs is shown here.

The following text was found in the demo. The main difference here is the mentioning of Robo-Rats.

Since they captured you, Nothing can stop them. They've taken everything And enslaved our people. Their Robo-Rats sniff out the hidden for capture. In the chaos, they exploded the Primordial Energy Core. The Energy broke into 1000 magical fragments called lums. We grow weaker. Soon, it will be too late... You must escape, Rayman You are our only hope!

The Buccaneer, prison ship of the pirates, commanded by the admiral RazorBeard. Slaves now on board 5000. Wake up Rayman, I have sent you help...  

The following text was meant to appear during the intro when the pirates dragged [[Globox]] into [[Rayman]]'s cell. Most of it was found in the demo, though the second line (No! Not the whip!) can be found in the final game as well. It was most likely not used to keep the game at a low age rating.

This following text was found in the demo.

A silver lums! Incredible! I can feel her energy coming into me... Now I can shoot with my fist again

This following text was found in the demo and was meant to be spoken by [[Murfy]] after [[Rayman]] escaped.  

Howdy, rayman! glad to see that you escaped!

plan saved Rayman! But... Where's Daddy?

Not there Daddy Globox? Boohooooo! We want our Daddy!  

I'll bring your dad back! But first I've got to find LY. She often comes here. Have you seen her around?

Some nasty pirates took LY over there!

The pirates have taken Ly to the Fairy's Glade. They've locked her in one of their castles.

Oh, Rayman, I was afraid Globox didn't make it.

But I did see Globox get arrested by 2 Pirates.

In the demo files, the same text appears, but with a different third option.

The demo version also includes a new line spoken by [[Jano]] after [[Rayman]] made the decision not to take the gold.

Meanwhile... :The pirate prison ship. Slaves now on 33 524

Your ferocity...he...he... already has 2 Masks  

Somewhere in the sky... The pirate prison ship. Slaves now on board 45 263

Nuh.. nothing serious.. he just found the Third Mask

Good luck, Rayman !  

See you soon Uglette!

Note how Polokus doesn't mention him not being able to use his powers above the ground.

At last the Final Mask... Bravo Rayman! You've succeed in awakening me ! Now I can send you to The Pirate prison ship. Now go and fight your Final battle...

This cutscene was later used in the Dreamcast, Playstation and [[Rayman Revolution|Playstation 2]] versions with the Playstation 2 one being slightly altered. This suggests that it was originally meant to be included in the PC version as well. The text can be found in the final version of the game.

Kudos for Rayman! Hurrah!

Get out of the prisonship, kids!

I still have to find Globox.

Come in, you useless worm! Ray... Rayman has found the final mask. He's just been spotted on board the ship.

The following text can be found in the final version of the game and was most likely mean to be spoken by [[Rayman]]'s friends during the boss fight against [[Razorbeard]].

one last effort, and the pirates will only be a bad memory!

go for it, rayman! you can do it!

The following text can be found in the final version of the game and was most likely mean to be spoken by [[Razorbeard]] during the boss fight against him.

i'll feed your remains to the piranhas!!

ha! globox was a better fighter than you!

did you remember to say goodbye to ly?

Here are some minor differences in what [[Razorbeard]] says. This was found in the demo files.

Lava bath is served, rayman! Have fun!

The slaves have broken their chains and escaped. On the planet, our people have eliminated the last pirates. Destroy Razorbeard, and our victory will be complete!

=== Pirate signs ===

piranha farm Property of admiral razorbeard!

public notice! witch Ly, presently languishing in the stronghold, will be made to walk the plank at dusk. reservations are advised.

This text can be seen on an unused [[spiral door]] which can be made to appear before the [[Woods of Light]] through hacking.

Le Monde des Pirates

These levels, which were not included in the final game, are mentioned in the demo files. Morbide is the file name for [[the Tomb of the Ancients]].

The following text, found in the demo, suggest that key mapping was originally going to be possible in the PC version. The demo also mentions a different button mapping where Q was the jump button.

The demo files include different names for several locations. Some of these can be seen in early [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape: Prima's Official Strategy Guide|strategy guides]].

The Sanctuary of Lava and FIRE ([[The Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]])

The Sanctuary of rock and Stone ([[The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]])

Beneath the sanctuary of rock and stone ([[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]])

Emission Control station ([[Technical Check-Up]])

 

This was most likely meant to take place in [[the Crow's Nest]]. It was found in the demo files.

In RazorBeard's personal cabin.

It is unknown where this was meant to be shown, though it was most likely in either [[the Woods of Light]] or [[the Fairy Glade]]. It was found in the demo files.

Quickly, Rayman! we want our papa!
