Rayman 3 (early production): Difference between revisions

''Main article: [[Rayman 2000]]''

Its development began shortly after the release of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', but was canceled. Several of its concepts were reused for ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

According to scrapped dialogues found in the beta demo's game files,<ref>[[Rayman Pirate-Community]] discussion forums, ''Rayman 3 - Scrapped Story'', https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6766&p=542889</ref> the early plot differed significantly from that of the final game. Notable differences are, among others:

*[[Murfy]] stayed with [[Rayman]] for a longer period.

*[[Clark]] appeared in the game.

*[[Hoodlum]]s could talk.

The [[Lav-O-Matic]] was intended to appear in the ''[[Aquatic world]]'' along with the [[Zaq]]s, but all were scrapped due to the levels 'lacked rhythm' compared to other levels.

An unused object that appeared to contain a [[plum]] was discovered by hacking the game.

On March 18, 2021, thanks to Project Deluge, many PlayStation 2 prototypes were found and leaked, including the 2002 E3 prototype of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' dated May 17, 2002.

==2002 [[List of Rayman demos|demo]]==

In 2002, some platinum copies of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' were bundled with a [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] disc of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and these were identified with a sticker in the front cover. There were other [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]] games for PC that bundled the same [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] too, along with a few other [[List of Rayman demos|demos]] featuring different levels than the ones seen in the PlayStation 2 version. This [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] featured some differences:

* The points given by some actions are different, like for example, a [[Jewel|green gem]] rewards the player with 100 points instead of 1500.

===Dangerous Game===

Before the first secret entrance of this sequence, it was initially expected that a flag representing the [[Hoodlum]] camp appeared, but it was instead replaced by a flag representing a [[Hoodmonger]]. In the PC version of the [[List of Rayman demos|demo]], the [[pigpot]]s' previous design is used.

===[[Special Invaders]]===

This game mode is also available in the ''[[Rayman 3]]'' [[List of Rayman demos|demo]]. It contains the third section of [[the Tower of the Leptys]]. Between the beta and final version of this section, the most striking differences are the sounds and musics. Some dialogs had not yet been added to the game, such as those of [[Globox]] and [[Rayman]] during the cinematic of the section. [[Globox]] does not call [[Rayman]] to get aboard his [[Armaguiddon]] but honk to get him. Also, he doesn't say anything about the enemies and do not compliment the buildings. But he is frightened at the sight of the stone gaps, when he's with [[Rayman]] in the room where they are located, [[Globox]] yells : "Ah! A mixer!". The name given to this game mode was finally used for a mini-game in the final version of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. The name of this game mode refers to a classic, '' Space Invaders'.
