AYYYYYYY

And just like how there are no stakes, that's because those were at the start. The enemies already completely invaded the world, as to where the enemies in Rayman 1 were either out of place or wildlife that thought Rayman was a threat. Actually pretty similar to Rayman 2 where there are no stakes. The Heart of the world had already been destroyed. Rayman 3 had all the stakes, because the world was threatened to be taken over, unlike in 2 where it had already happened.

It went from "This is Rayman's Origins" to "This is a return to Rayman's Gameplay Origins"

Wasn't Mr Dark supposed to be in the gamw?

OOOOOOH now I get it welp*starts playing impressive music with a kazoo*

I'm impressed by the music you played with the kazoo.

it's almost like he never bothered to research the reasons before he filmed the video

So? It's still good

EwanTheGreat almost like this video didn’t even have to be made or something

Reyman Legends is awesome.

@@alanze18 no U

Some are sequeled together tbh but true

Digicraftmon the Crystal Gem nah Steven universe is childish, more like regular show where it’s wacky and serious. I would love a game that has a serious and slightly wacky story like the last season of regular show.

Steven universe isn’t childish... TTG is childish

Yep, and then they made *one* more.

@@umyum3858 you talking about Legends?

Umyum your point?

Is the new series supposed to be made of thousands of mobile games?

Umyum did u play origins and legends, because they are two different games, coming from a guy who played both games

@Isabella Cribb You can do it, too? The almighty Kazoo has granted us its favor.

Nah, the jaw harp's are THE best

UltraLuigiGamer it’s the tiny hat isn’t it.

Ha

The sense of smell is weaker when you're on a plane, a great part of what many think is flavour is actually due to the smell, that's the deal, i don't care if it was a joke, it's easy to explain.

It tastes bad and it cost £3 for a pizza slice and a bit of fries not joking

Thank you for making my day better

Agreed

That’s the new plot for what was going to be rayman one in a half but ended up being rayman four

I lost my Rayman 2 case long time ago but I like that story man. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, but those are really old games... So these new are canon while the old ones aren't.

well technically, its possible that only the nymphs knew about him. maybe they kept it on the down low because it's not totally allowed to just, you know, *fabricate a being?*

Really? I never knew that.

@@tnecniw isnt it usually the opposite in video games?

The first RRR was tons better than origins and legends, IMO. It was the last true Rayman game, even though it was silly and a little pointless

(Vietnam flashbacks)

Some of those games are good. Mostly the first and rabbids go home

@@TabalugaDragon How are Origins and Legends not true Rayman games?

@@danielj8085 because they are terrible and have nothing to do with original games. Even RRR was more of a real Rayman game.

Don't waste your time by clicking on here Now you can play it on your phone.

Dispenser goin' up

It was, the game was going to have a lot of dialogue until it got scrapped.

Mostly from the magician guy

@Cube³ yeah +its the jaguar version of the game

Original Character But then the name Origins makes no sense

It doesn't make a great deal of sense anymore, that's true.

@@originalcharacter2470 Origins can refer to going back to the 2D gameplay though

@@TerrorOfTalos but the last main storyline Rayman game (don't count Rabbids) was Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge on GBA, which was a 2D sequel to Rayman 3... so they already returned to the 2D canonically... though it was more of a 2.5D...

@@nikomiller Ok then Origins refers to Rayman 1 since origins has a lot of references to that game.

Car ride manual reading was the bomb! Glad you enjoyed the vid!

I mean like who dosnt read the manuals when they look intresting

100th like

Manuals aren't needed to play a game

I never made the argument that storytelling is what makes a game though. Rayman Origins approaches story in a different way than previous Rayman games, and that's not a bad thing by any means, it's just not an approach that I'm a fan of myself. Origins is a great game, I just expected... more in regards to story. If a Mario game made itself out to be more of a storydriven experience pre-release and then released as anything less, I'd hold it to the same standard.

Allstarknight I see. What about games that do have a story but fails miserably. Like Sonic 06?

I mean, you said it yourself there: If it's a miserable failure, it's a miserable failure. The way I see it, a good story can be a supplement to an already good game, but it can't save a bad game. Story and atmosphere goes a long way in immersing you in what you're playing, but I don't think it can distract you from a flawed game. Gameplay always comes first. When replaying the games to record footage, I found myself having more fun with Origins, constantly thinking "just one more level". Rayman 1 is often frustrating in regards to gameplay, but I *love* the world it's set in, as well as the gorgeous music and graphics that go along with it. And I think there is some real value in that, but it can't mask the fact that it's an unfairly difficult game.

Allstarknight i finally get it now. Thank you. I'm just kinda worried that you think Origins is a bad game. But thank you for clarifying everything. A game like Origins whould never see any hatred

Hey, no problem. It's a fun topic to discuss!

Cube³ Did you miss the part where I used quotation marks? It was a joke but to get it you’re required to understand context.

If this was supposed to be a joke, then sorry but it's anything but funny.

sucks you didnt watch the vid

the joke was that he was speaking from the point of view of someone who really does hold that opinion

thats bullshit and you know it

I'm hard as RAYMAN it ain't hard to RAYMAN I break 'em down whether they're RAYMAN or RAYMAN Unlike RAYMAN I'm independent since my first RAYMAN First RAYMAN, feel the RAYMAN, than the RAYMAN

preach bro

You're right! it is! I think the only problem with it is that it's way too short. you can beat the whole game in like, 5 hours.

Really good game but it isnt rayman in most ways

@@StitchdTeeth also on pc, ps3, 360* (not counting handheld versions because they suck) and origins is one of the best 2D platformers right up there with DKCTF

But origins is the hardest rigth ?

I miss Ly and Clark though. o.o Was cool seeing a cat fairy on your journey and Clark would have fit right in with Origin's art style.

@katchungas sorry to say but its a sequel, quick google search shows that much, although it probably did retcon some stuff, its still a sequel

@@artincendi :(

i get you man, this guy is criticizing these platforming masterpieces insanely heavily, this entire video is pointless and triggering. i mean its a fucking platforming game, who gives a shit about the fucking story, the fucking gameplay is what matters. that said, the story isn't even bad, it fits the rayman loose and relaxy theme and combined with everything else it truly makes the game tons of fun.

10:18 I think his point is why it is called Rayman Origins when it is not a prequel. It's more focused on story rather than Gameplay.

Elias Plattner it was,i played it and it was exciting.

but sadly ubisoft ruined rayman with his rabbids

Happy you enjoyed the video (and seemingly the DX Ball 2 Narrative)! Stoked about Rayman 4! I believe that if there's anyone at Ubisoft who knows how to make games, it's Ancel and his team at Montpellier. I can't get too excited about it until we get details, but I have faith in those french boys.

Saw that You have very few subscribers comparing to your videos quality. I'm happy to become one of them. :) Looking forward for more of Your videos!

rayman origins is short?!

@@Allstarknight I think it's called Origins because it's Rayman's return to 2d gameplay. Which is a Miracle since 2d games usually niche at that time.

strubbery g me too

Now, if we can play that game in 3D but keeping the artstyle...

inkling boy 4 that is quite impossible. The art style is 2D cartoon. Now art direction, that is a more appropriate term. Maybe cell shading? Now it would be a sin to not mention Rayman Legends, that had quite great 3D models as some of the bosses...

strubbery g That's why I wish. I would love playing a game in 3D with this artstyle

Cube³ Rayman 1 had story, but not much of a story. It had as much story as Sonic 1, or your average Mario game... ...which isn't a criticism. Ever. If you don't want to tell a story, then don't. We don't care. Now if it tried to tell a story and failed (like Sonic 06) that would be a problem. Moreover Rayman 1 is a playable cartoon as well. Older cartoon, sure, but still a cartoon. I mean you have to rescue tiny cute ElecTOONS that were captured after the villain, MS. DARK stole the great ProTOON. Any more clues? How about the two recurring enemies are AntiTOONS and an Elmer Fudd-esqe hunter that shoots bullets with a hammer inside, and that every second item in the world had googly eyes like it's a 90's Rare game?!? Playable cartoon is a complement, not a criticism. In an industry that strives to boring realism it's nice to see games with imagination and art. Sure, it'd be cool if there was also a good story (Heck, I like NieR, a game which story is about the only complement you can give it. And music). Art is as much a valid reason to like (or hate) a game as story is. Sure Origin promised an origin story for Rayman and Globox, but it also promised to be episodic as well. Many games change during development, and if they still deliver a good game then it's OK. In the end I was promised a glorious return of my favorite character in gaming and I got just that. I completed it multiple times because I like it. Not because I'm a dumb baby or because I forgot the original, which I also completed several times. I actually like Origins because I like Rayman 1, and Origins is so much like it... I hope you and I'll get a Rayman game with a deep story. In the meantime let us have our fun with the Rayman game we actually have, OK?

MapleshadeDarkRay_YT luckily, they're all hot

In rayman you don't begone thots You carefully save them and take care of them. Wait did you expected a joke?

Tracy Mixon Theory: does Rayman have a BUTT!?

Does he need to poop? on another note, if he's perverted, does it mean that he has a dick?

Pepper Millers another mystery that needs to be solved.

I hate to break it to you, but Rayman may actually have an anus, and a large one at that. I saw it in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc in Razoff's Mansion located in the Bog of Murk. The place had some shattered glass on the floor in some areas, and I adjusted the camera towards the glass to see Rayman's body from the bottom up, and it turns out that he has a large gray slot on the lower end of his torso. Not really sure whether that was an anus or just how his shirt is sealed around him. Possibly the latter, but a....peculiar find nonetheless. It's been years since I've played it, but that's what I remember seeing, if I recall correctly.

@@peppermillers8361 he has a dick. Remember the rayman 3 advertisement

Sweet! Thank you so much!

👅👢👢

Thank you kindly!

Man, comments like this make my day. Thank you SO much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video as much as you did! As for future essays, I'm not sure about more Rayman-focused ones, but I'm definitely open to making more if I get any ideas. It's a great and interesting series.

Michael Borrego Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Land of the Livid Dead did my head in. Granted, I'm not a very good PS player as I don't play super often, but MAN. After 17 trillion attempts I'm like "SATAN MADE THIS LEVEL"

same, but i still love this game to death

Oh absolutely! Although I prefer Rayman 2 over this, this is still one of the best IMO.

Dude, try the original Rayman game if you're looking for a challenge. Origins is a cakewalk in comparison.

Rayman origins is obviously not that easy but yeah the first rayman game is pretty hard and like he said in the video you don't have infinite lives.

That would be the track "Jibberish Jungle Advancement" from Rayman Origins!

Thx and btw great video

Zap Coolman Thank you! :)

Mafon2 I LOVE U

nah

yeah

Cube³ It sounded like a joke to me though... Where are you from? You got some very dutch things in your way of expressing yourself in words...

You seem to be going around spreading needless negativity in the comments, are you having a bad day?

Legends took Origins and made it better on every aspect

I M P I’m inclined to agree. Rayman Legends is one of my favorite games of all time!!!

Legends soundtrack is better but not THAT much, both are fantastic games but I much prefer origins progression and challenge

stareatthesunman Origins is way harder

@WildGooseberry How so?

I liked Legends a whole lot more, not only because it pretty much contains most of Origins through the Return to Origins-levels, but also because I knew what kind of tone and gameplay to expect at that point. I never expected Legends to be any more lore-heavy or less wacky than Origins, therefore I wasn't at all disappointed when we got what we got: A sequel that improved on the groundwork that was laid out in Origins. It had fewer ties to older games than Origins, and I feel like that allowed it to have more of a distinct identity. I also really liked the different, slightly more grounded atmosphere that comes to life through Legends' music and graphical overhaul. Legends' story is still pretty unimpressive, but hey. Rad music levels.

Rayman Legends is my favourite rayman game and it was my first. Yes I've only been a Rayman fan for like 2-3 years.

Ehhh Rayman Legends just feels like it's trying so hard to not be Origins but fucks it up by being easier and having approximately 50% of the levels being levels from Origins which feels lot better to play with the refined Legends engine than the Legends levels.

Diego Medina How is that the case? Rayman controls practically the same in both games, and the game was advertised as a follow up to Origins. I honestly think Rayman Legends is the best game in the series so far, it improves on what Rayman Origins did in almost every way, plus I find that Rayman Legends has a greater sense of flow and mechanics.

Glad you enjoyed it, regardless of baityness!

Hi! Thanks for the nice comment :) I do use Premiere Pro to edit videos, but if that's not for you I can recommend DaVinci Resolve and Sony Vegas Pro as good alternatives.

@@Allstarknight where tf did you go

good to know

because they wouldn't have time for GAME MACHANICS

That's negotiable.

@@Allstarknight no it's not

Fuck yes

MrKnight i just hope they dont have voice acting, it got annoying REALLY quickly in Rayman 3. I personaly hope they do what they did in Rayman 2.

The voice acting might be good.

BR&GWRTrainiac Productions its just,some of the voices felt very out of place for some of the characters in raymn 3, and murphy got EXTREMLY annoying in only 5 minutes, but hopefully they fix that in rayman 4.

But you have to admit, David Gasman was spot on as Rayman himself.

Who cares? Well people like me who wished they kept the plot, numbnut.

PipeGuy64Bit Some of the best games don’t have the best plots

@@PipeGuy64Bit Gameplay > plot

@@danielj8085 I at least prefer to understand what's going on. If you're not going to have a plot than why show me a seemingly random set of events that would require me to look up online a explanation to understand the context for any of it?

@@PipeGuy64Bit The answer is simple: The game isn't supposed to be taken seriously. The story doesn't change anything.
