Rayman 2: The Great Escape is one of my favorite games ever. I know Rayman Origins/Legends were good games in their own right, but I really loved the dark atmosphere of The Great Escape and how it took itself seriously. Now, I’ll just take anything Rayman at this point :(

@thorwilhelms9635 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, I feel like Rayman started losing its tone with Origins and completely lost it with Legends. You're fighting literal living nightmares, take it seriously! Even Rayman 1 took its antagonist seriously, while Legends makes the Magician, someone we thought was our friend for 16 years and then betrayed us, a joke, completely disregarding the emotional whiplash of it. Also, the Magician shouldn't have survived the exploding reactor, he was right in front of it!

@gregorsamsa2271 2 ай бұрын

@@thorwilhelms9635 I agree with you as a die hard Rayman fan, who grew up with this franchise since the original Rayman. Origins amd Legends as plattformers work perfectly. But the tone is a bit too silly. There's no plot, no real introduction. And the magician becomes a ordinary teensie, a joke character - a cheap ripoff of Mr Dark. I didn't like that at all. The og trilogy, although it had it's humor, cared about their world building. And the characters. Especially the second game, that introduced so much to the series!

Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc is my favorite of all time, because he's can shoot his hands to the the enemy like a bullet when he charges he's hand up and released it into the hoodlum faces!Also it's the only game that give Rayman powers from another way🥫 instead rely on the lady fairy 🧚‍♂️ ! To be honest, those games its proof that Rayman still have more spatial developing on, if Ubisoft can find Glitch production for a help, maybe Rayman still have hope to shine in popular and in the future maybe have hope for making his chronicle

It is sad that the franchise despite being great is discontinued, even though Rayman did appear on some other franchise’s games as a guest character or DLC. Hope that the franchise comes back in a big and successful way. I remember playing the first Rayman game back when I was young and boy it was awesome and a great nostalgia

@MaeDaGoof 2 ай бұрын

I don't think we should specifically blame the rabbids themselves for "killing" rayman, more so Ubisoft for preffering to only do stuff with them and put Rayman aside, there is also a good chance that we might be getting a new game soon, Rayman has been gettng quite a bit of merch and cameos in the last year or so, the franchse has had more activity last year than it did in the 2nd half of of the 2010s. It is just a slow process to make it the series bit more relevant again, i am confident that soon, even if it may be a few years down the line still, we will get a full new game, from Ubisoft Milan most likely!

Rayman was the first game I ever played on a PC other than stuff like Solitaire or Minesweeper. I'm not even sure why my Grandma had this game. Except for Sonic 2, most of my games were on N64 or Gameboy at the time, so it was some the most colorful and expressive pixel art I'd ever seen. I rarely made it past the first level, but I never got sick of looking at it. It felt like I was getting to play a Disney movie.

3D platformers went out of style during the 360/PS3 era in favor of more gritty and realistic games. The only notable ones I could think of from that time period were the Mario Galaxy games. Outside of that, his franchise got highjacked by Rabbids and he was sparsely seen since.

I have hated rabbids since their inception. I remember being like 10 and having just played hoodlum havoc then going to blockbuster every month waiting for a new Rayman. I saw the Raving Rabbids cover and I was so excited to play a new Rayman game! So I rented it and quickly realized that it was not a Rayman game at all. Their gross little eyes... that was around the time they would play that weird Quizno's commercial with the little mutated hamster things with human eyes and mouths.. "WE LOVE THE SUUUUBS!! COZ THEY ARE GOOOOD TO USSS!!" i get the same feeling when I look at the Rabbids and its Depression.

@zacharycardon2353 2 ай бұрын

Raised on N64 onwards, I have no shame missing out on the PlayStation era; so I didn't get Rayman till Raving Rabbids. Origens & Legends were solid, but seeing how casual they were was when I began to see the now 3 decade 3D platformer famine. And Ubisoft lying to us how games are a service instead of goods is past despicable!

That game was full of charm and personality, then played legends on ps4 and loved it, and i was waiting for its sequel, and waiting, and waiting and waiting. I hope he gots the love it deserves again. But fuck ubisoft for all the crap theyve been doing over the last years.
