It's insane how kid friendly this series started, but then went on to have big breasted fairies and the least subtle adult humor I've ever seen. EDIT: I think I didn't explain what I meant very well. A lot of the first few games were preschool and learning games, but the change in humor from Rayman 2 to Rayman 3 was noticable to say the least. There probably were innuendos in 1 and 2 I missed, but they were subtle enough that the character could still be used in preschool games.

I do not want to burst any bubble..... but, probably the only way to get a new entry would be another creative lead (david soliani maybe?) taking on the project with a smaller budget, while the rest of sub-studios work on live-services and the likes for the major releases (meaning probably not ubisoft montpellier). The scope of the game would be quite reduced akin to something like the new prince of persia. The more likely scenario is to have a spiritual sequel that is crowdfounded by small indie devs. I'm happy he's getting the love but I'm trying to realistic.

In Rayman 2, if you press and hold L (on the N64 version), you'll get to a screen where you can scroll through texts that tell you what the Lums do, the origin of the Glade of Dreams which tells you how Polokus dreamt up the world and it's creatures, how the creatures then helped form the world, and that everyone lived in relative peace until the pirates invaded. Of course, you need the requisite amount of Yellow Lums to get all the lore.

It doesn't help that Rayman's creator, Michel Ancel, retired from the gaming industry. The prospect of a brand new, modern 3D Rayman would be incredible, but it seems Ubisoft really doesn't care about the franchise. Though, I was actually surprised to see Rayman even get a part in Mario & Rabbids Sparks of Hope DLC!

Actually, the ending sequence in Rayman 3 was rather a flashback of how Andre was born. The night before, Rayman slept walked and his hands came to life for some mischief. They scared a red Lum with shadow puppets and thus Andre came to be. So basically, it was all Rayman’s fault indirectly.

There is no way original Rayman is a D. It's tough as nails but it was a masterpiece. The art, sound and design make it a classic.

The video was well informed, with a lot of Rayman stuff I did not know existed, even though Rayman Brain Games was the first ever video game I ever played and many things Rayman have been near and dear to my heart ever since. However, one genuine surprise I got was how you missed mentioning an entire whole Rayman video game, which is Rayman 3 for the GBA. That game is a weird case in the franchise because even though it has 3 in it's name, the story is almost nothing like Hoodlum Havoc. The game is like a weird fusion between Rayman 2 and Hoodlum Havoc, where the pirates from 2 hunt down Andre from Hoodlum Havoc, even keeping in the fact that Globox ate Andre, and its a whole weirdness in terms of story. Rayman 3 for the GBA is a 2D platformer, and a very fun game to play, and it always seemed to me like it was one of the more prominent entries in the series, considering it is so unique from 2 and Hoodlum Havoc, even though it weirdly fuses them both in one. So it's kinda surprising how it was not mentioned in this video. Besides that, though, as said, great and informative video. As a Rayman fan, you have my thanks for outlining the story of the limbless wonder! :D

To add to your comment: some time after the release of the 4 parts for RRR2, there was a single disc release in a hardcover booklet, containing the same 16 mini games. The booklet release claimed to be the 'full version' of the game. I have a copy of that one in PL. Also, Rabbids Go Home got the '4 disc in a magazine with collectible Rabbid figurines release' treatment in Poland (and I think Russia, too?) as well. I don't know if that also had a single disc release later on, though.

You forgot to mention he's also a character in Brawlhalla along with Globox and Barbara. Also I think you should've focus a little on the different versions of Rayman 2, Revolution in particular

My first experience with rayman was Rayman Arena when I was a kid, absolutely loved that game when I was a kid, then I got origins for my wii around 2012 and fell in love with the series again, it sucks how much Ubisoft shits on him.

Fun Fact: the "Gloo Gloo" track that plays from 38:22 onwards is actually a cover of the 5,6,7,8's hit song "Woo Hoo" which was made famous by Quentin Tarrantino, who in turn heard it while shopping for clothes and went on to put it in the movie that he was currently producing. So when Uma Thurman in Kill Bill walks into a club to confront and later kill the Crazy 99 this very track plays. If you want to look up the scene you will find out that they actually had the original bandmembers perform their song as the club was ment to host a live concert at the time of Uma showing up.

RAYMAN REDEMPTION IS A BANGER! AWESOME VIDEO DUDE! HOPE FOR RAYMAN 4!

My first rayman game was rayman 2 on the ps1 which is like the worst fuckin version but I loved it so much, and as far as the mainline games went after that they just never missed, not even once. This franchise is special to me in a very specific way, and I've always loved the underlying concept of the games existing in this sort of dream world, it pairs really really well with how out there a lot of the visuals are in these games. The video itself was pretty cool but your audio mixing was a bit all over the place, sometimes I had to fiddle with the volume to make you out over the music; other than that, we love to see a fellow rayman girl winning, I'll be anticipating your next video

For a time there people loved to dunk on the PS1 version because of the '''''terrible voice acting'''' the shorter length and level cutting. Yes it's a lot more downscaled compared to the other ports, but I wouldn't call it bad at all. I always loved the dopey voice acting, the core gameplay is still very much intact and in Retrospect, with it's shorter length it's the one I come back to the most. Playing the game either on my ps1 hooked up to my CRT or on Duckstation with all the extra settings cranked up to 11 behind my PC with my HD display give 2 hugely contrasting experiences which both are equally fun to go through.

Rayman Arena was a lot of fun with plenty of great music. The PlayStation version launched first and had the infinitely better battle mode, while GameCube and Xbox versions had better presentation and such but the battle mode changed so much, being scored based on number of hits and only having two modes in it.

Love the Killer7 soundtrack near the end. It is my favorite game as well (Rayman 2 is also in my top 10, heh). I'm looking forward to see your video about it.

DUDE YOU RE-WOKE A MEMORY I DIDNT EVEN KNOW I HAD. Rayman M is a game my grandma had for some reason and we didnt have games at home. So i always went to my grandma to play rayman M without knowing the franchise or anything about it. Thats aweaome

Trivia: The reason why everyone else got limbs in Origins is because Rayman was supposed to be the only one of his kind from now on. However, that got thrown out of the window quick when they introduced other Rays in Legends and Adventures. On a bright side, that could've been a good opportunity to bring back Tarayzan who was originaly going to be playable in Origins as Rayman's cousin, but they didn't. They lowkey replaced him with some knock off of him from Adventures. Either Rayman donated his sperms before the slumber or the mages liked him so much they decided to make their own.

Great summary video! I actually didn't know that there were so many spinoffs in the Rayman franchise. For me Rayman 2 and 3 were the pinnacle of Rayman games. It's unfortunate the developers never came around making a real 3D platformer Rayman 4. Rayman Origins and Legends both were good as well, but I always found them kinda exhausting to play. I think the artstyle was a little too much eyecandy for my taste. But then .... the franchise just ended back then - Legends came out 10 years ago and it's baffling how there was no mainline Rayman game since then. So much lost potential...

You should make a video on the forgotten isle of the PS2. The Legend of Kay. It’s too under appreciated with fun game design and amazing world building and story

Gamer: "How could a beloved video game icon like you quit before your anniversary?!" Rayman: "You think I quit?" * turns on light to reveal a news article * Gamer: "Right! Michel Ancel's retirement." Rayman: "THEY quit on me! After Origins and Legends were praised, I went back expecting a grand anniversary celebration. You know what Ubisoft said to me? 'You're history!'. Moved right on to the next Tom Clancy game in line."

Nice video dude

Fun fact Rayman 2 was originally going to be another 2d platformer 2.5d actually, but after the developers saw Crash Bandicoot they decided to scrap that game and start over and make it 3D instead. Also on the PS1 version of Rayman 2 you can play one level of that original 2d Rayman 2

As a fellow Rayman 2 fanatic, I can confidently say I 100% agree with every one of your takes even though I'm only 35 seconds in the video.

I'm glad Redemption got a shoutout. It's a super fun game that I thoroughly enjoyed playing. I never did 100% it because I couldn't be bothered with the boss rushes, but otherwise did and got everything. It is well worth looking into to relive that old nostalgia.

Pretty Interesting video on the series, i love it! Also, FINALLY someone who admits that Rayman Kart is the best game ever made.

You could've gotten your hands on Rayman Designer, it's included in Rayman Forever (along with the original game and Rayman by his Fans), which Ubisoft still sells on their storefront and is also on GOG. there is also a fanmade recreation of Rayman 1 and Rayman Designer called Rayman Redemption and Rayman ReDesigner respectively made by Ryemanni on GameJolt, which is so much better then the original (both fixing major issues with the games and even adding completely new content to the original)

It’s funny that I remember playing Rayman M on the PS2 with my brother when we were younger, and we loved it. Mostly for the multiplayer races though. We never finished the game, but recently, I watched speedruns of the game and jesus that game’s checkpoint system is broken. It’s beautiful.

When you're doing your narration for your scripting you should be recording audio through some form of noise suppression. I recommend to using OBS and either using their inbuilt version or downloading crisp noise suppressorl. this will make it so that the clicks that you are using to move to the next part of the scripts aren't Audible

That Atari 50 compilation has Atari Jaguar games. It would be awesome if Ubisoft would let Atari port the Jaguar version of Rayman, especially since it is the definitive version of the first game.

I was fully raised on Rayman Legends - played it and replayed it with cousins and my brother my whole life. Hell I revisited it this weekend.

As a kid I played the first Rayman game on PC with a joystick. I guess the game wasn’t hard enough as is… :D Also played Rayman Rush (PS1 title), which wasn’t mentioned in this video. It was a sort of on-foot racing game. Don’t remember it too well though. Great video!

I started since Rayman Legends 8-9 years ago and i had a blast...I've played some Rayman Redemption (rayman 1 fan remaster) and played origins this year and im planning to play 2 and 3 some year later
