Something people don't talk about with the PS1 version of the game is how the developers on it chose to make characters animate at a lesser framerate, creating this very unique style to that version of the game that worked hugely in its favor for its presentation with other effects-work.

As hilariously crippled as the PS1 version is compared to N64/PC/Dreamcast/PS2, the art style of Rayman 2 is so charming it holds up marvelously on all platforms.

That's my favorite Rayman game,no matter wich version i'm playing. I just miss Rayman so much

I grew up with Revolution. It was amazing and I have replayed it (once I beat it at age 20) more than 8 times to completion. The original looks so amazing I am about to boot up the emulator and play the ROM. I especially cannot wait to see how different the play style is

The PS1 one has one of the best PS1 graphics I've seen tbh

That first shot is WAY more atmospheric originally.

I like the ps2 version for the graphic’s details, textures and levels But i love the psX version, was very scary with more darkness colors

I love how Razorbeard randomly obtained 40 slaves between the releases of these games

Don't know why, but for me PSX is the best one. It has a darker tone (no sky/horizon graphics) that make it look scarier... I go with it 🖤

The PC version's visuals are comparable to the Dreamcast version (though there were a few cuts to the effects such as lighting, particles etc). The PS2 version's visuals are significantly different and more advanced than any of the others. Polygon counts are much higher, and environments are far less blocky and have greater detail as a result. Lighting was also heavily enhanced, with new shadow effects.

I think the PS2 version was the definitive version

honestly the art direction for rayman 2: the great escape looks way better than for rayman 2: revolution. i prefer it

the ps1 version is surprisingly good looking. that said this was an early ps2 game

I think Polokus voice actor PS1 is more divine should used him in Rayman 2 Revolution

The artstyle and visuals are so great that U don't need CRT to estimate it

I love the PS2 type of Rayman 2 as it's all fixed and an improvement

I noticed that compared to the PS1 version, the PS2 port has much more of a graphical enhancement.

@@MyScorpion42 The PS1 version also has actual voice acting as well, so i'm assuming that's the point being made. The PS2's VA was rerecorded however and is better than the PS1 VA. PS2 also has the option to set the voices back too the old gibberish as well too. Despite the new hub world, bosses and enhanced visuals though, the PS2 version is still sort of closer to the "other" versions of Rayman 2 than the PS1 version. PS1 has a ton of missing levels, some levels heavily edited or abbreviated or even combined together. So a lot of the time, it's almost its own version of the game in that sense. The PS2 version does mostly adapt the same level design as N64/DC/PC on the other hand. Even though again there are a lot of visual enhancements and even a few minor changes here and there.

Obviously it looks better on PS2 but I'm surprised at how well the PS1 version holds up.

I mean, PS2 definitely looks better. But the PS1 version has way - and when I say way, I mean waaaaay - better voice acting. Don't know what happened in the PS2 version or why they did a retake at all. PS1 voice acting is so fitting to the whole Rayman style and atmosphere (more so imo than the Raymanian gibberish). Even with all the technical downsides, you could argue that the PS1 version is the best one because of the voice acting and music alone.

Hi, this is truly one of the best 3D platformers of all time. I have played PS1 and N64 versions so many times,. I tried to like Rayman 3, but I could not. It took another direction, with ugly camera controls, restricted view that induces headaches, adult inappropriate humor for kids, bad voice acting, very disappointing game at all.

Dreamcast or 3ds tbh

Playstation 1 or emulator? Ironic question...

even the PS1 version had voice acting?? i played it on PC as a kid and they all spoke gibberish or were subtitles only. couldnt get it to run earlier, so i tried emulating the PS2 version and the german voice acting was ATROCIOUS. and rayman revolution was too different from my childhood memories, so i ended up getting it on my 3DS, which is a port of the dreamcast version - and pretty much how i remember it. plus this game really benefits from the 3D screen. edit: it also didn't run smoothly on the 3DS until i found out that you can make all old 3DS games benefit from the new 3DS faster hardware if you have a custom firmware installed

Rayman 2 was on the PS2?

Una pregunta no vende disco de ps2 de rayman pero pirata ya que el 2 es uno de mis favoritos y mas por el diseño de rayman pero se rayo el disco que tenia y ahora tengo rayman 3 y no me gusta sobretodo su diseño

I still think PS1 is better than Revolution. Revolution just feels bloated, while PS1 may be missing some content. It's nice though that they let you switch between human and Raymanian languages in Revolution, even if its English dub is lacking the emotion of the PS1 dub.

It’s not surprising that the PS2 version leaves the PS1 version in the dust. I would say the N64 version is also better. I think the game was clearly made for 64/128 bit consoles in mind.

The PS1 version was actually the "original" one, it's the one that started development first at least and the unlockable 2D demo you can get is the earliest form of what would become Rayman 2. However, the original core Rayman 2 team moved onto the N64/PC version, while the PS1 version was handed off to a different team, Ubisoft Shanghai. They weren't kept entirely up to date with the latest code from the other versions however, so PS1 is based on an older variant of the code and a lot of quick and dirty adaptations had to be made to get it into a completed state. While it would obviously have been a visually lesser version of the game regardless, it's likely that it could have been made to be closer to the other versions with some extra time and effort. Instead, a lot of levels were cut, made shorter with areas missing or even some of them were combined together (like Whale Bay and the Water/Ice Sanctuary).
