  • Rayman's Part 3 brings back the silliness of the first game, and expands on the formula of the second. But without Ancel at the wheel, did it hold up well?

    There's but one thing you forgot with Murphy: the game responds to his quips.
    I think one of his last interactions has the game prompt a message saying "that's it, we're not putting you in the next game"
    Considering the next game with Rayman in it was Raving Rabbids... the game made true on their promise.

      Yeah, I think it's a shame that the English dub was so bad, because I really enjoyed the French voice acting. And that's saying a lot coming from me, because I generally hate French voice acting. I think my favorite voice actor in the game is Martial le Minoux, who voices Murphy and Razoff, and is clearly having a lot fun with both, especially Razoff. Of course the French voices for André and Globox pretty much make the game as well.

      In Ratchet and Clank Size Matters, if you look for the hidden treehouse, which you need to find a teleporter to get there, you'll discover that not only an unused enemy was cut from the game, but aswell as a tank enemy that you would need to avoid in a Crash Bandicoot style segment of sorts. It's actually fun to look at unused content rather than letting the developers explain it in person.

    • @guardian8184
      @guardian8184 5 лет назад +11

      In the original Ratchet & Clank 2 & 3 you can find a teleporter pad that will take you to the “insomniac museum”. The museum has unused enemies, puzzles, level designs, weapons, vehicles and various other unused bits of material. The teleporter in the second game can be found on the planet Boldan and the one in 3 can be found in the trophy room on the Starship Phoenix.

    • @guardian8184
      @guardian8184 5 лет назад +5

      In the second game, each part of the museum also has voice pads which play commentary from the developers about why each thing was taken out or replaced, it’s really cool to see. They also included a version in the R&C 2016 reboot but it’s not the same unfortunately.

    • @Burn_Angel
      @Burn_Angel 5 лет назад +5

      God of War 1 also has that. Once you beat the game once, you'll unlock an option that takes you to a room with unused enemies, and even some designs they had to discard for some reason they explain there.
      They even considered to have a rastafari Kratos.

  • @Faapu

    I like to think that the space between each Rayman game is a really long-ass time, and Rayman just sleeps all the time. And that explains why a lot of characters come and go. I don't know why but I guess Globox is some kind of immortal according to my theory.

    I always thought that was weird how the Rabbids became more of a priority than Rayman himself. I was skipping channels on TV and saw they made a cartoon of it. I watched the cartoon hoping that maybe Rayman would be in it, but instead it was about the Rabbids shoving plungers on each others butts.

      vcrbetamax The Rabbids aren’t canon to the Rayman franchise anymore. The developers of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle stated this as one of the reasons why Rayman isn’t in it. Also, why would you expect to see Rayman in the show when, aside from an Easter event in Rayman Adventures, they’ve never crossed over again? Both franchises went their separate ways and had their own games. It’s not like Skylanders where (until the Reignited Trilogy of course), Spyro was still a character in Skylanders the whole way through. This would be like if in one of the Skylanders sequels, Spyro disappeared completely and got the Reignited Trilogy while Skylanders was still going on at the same time, but people still have a grudge on Skylanders as if nothing’s changed at all.

    Actually, Rayman Origins give us a possible explanation as to why the continuity is so borked, Polokus (Yes, the Bubble Dreamer actually is Polokus) actually conceives the universe out of bubbles he places his thoughts into, and considering his powers can corrupt very easily (nightmares, separation from electoons, etc) it's likely each story in the Rayman Universe is him trying to recollect how the world works

    • @Dracomut
      @Dracomut 8 лет назад +73

      Slimey Jenkins That is a good theory. I've always felt that Rayman's world is just so big and chaotic things always seem different when they have in fact been the same. Here is my take on the order the continuity and my own theories:
      Before the series - An unknown being creates the Gold lums, who then create Polokus and the electoons. Polokus creates the Glade of Dreams and all beings in it, other than Rayman. The Leptys is another god made by the Gold Lums, the world of the Knaaren is destroyed by Razorbeard and his pirates, who were also made by the Gold lums. The Knaaren migrate to the Glade of Dreams while the Leptys, too weak to leave what remains of his world, gives the Knaaren royal family a magic scepter to contact him if they ever need his help.
      Right before Rayman 1 - Rayman is created by Betilla and confronts Jano and his army of nightmares, Rayman brings peace to the Glade, the remaining nightmares are thrown into the Cave of Bad Dreams which is guarded by the now repentant Jano
      Rayman 1 - Mr. Dark steals the Great Protoon, the resulting cascade of disharmony shatters much of the world's stabilization making everyone look a lot like Rayman who himself is a magically unstable being. After the Great Protoon is returned everyone turns back to normal, Mr. Dark's current whereabouts are unknown
      Rayman 2 - Razorbeard invades the Glade and shatters the Heart of the World. Rayman wakes Polokus from his slumber with the 4 masks, after the defeat of the pirates Polokus chooses to stay awake to look after his creations, taking on the moniker Bubble Dreamer
      Rayman Arena - Rayman and friends participate in a tournament being held by the Bubble Dreamer. Razorbeard's army is too weak to invade again so signs up for the tournament (along with two servants and his wife) to win the prize money and rebuild his empire, he is able to sign in due to the Bubble Dreamer's easygoing personality (though also because the Bubble Dreamer knows Rayman will win). Tily is Ly's little sister and sneaks with Rayman to participate in the tournament, Dark Globox is in fact Globox's counterpart from another dimension recruited by Razorbeard
      Rayman Origins - Ales Mansay (taking up the moniker of the missing Mr. Dark) curses Voodoo Momma turning her into a monster and making the Land of the Livid Dead a terrible and chaotic place and makes the denizens into angry monsters, things get so bad the Land of the Livid Dead declares war on the rest of the Glade after Rayman and friends' napping bothers them. Ales takes advantage of the confusion to make his fortress and compete his plans
      Rayman Raving Rabbids (Wii Version) - the resulting battle in the Land of the Livid Dead releases the rabbids who attempt to take over the glade, they capture Rayman and Globox's kids. Rayman competes in the rabbid arena and escapes, but then realizes he forgot globox's kids and then sets off to save them... Only to get stuck in a rabbid hole
      Rayman Raving Rabbids (GBA version) - Rayman gets captured by the rabbids again, but this time escapes through sheer brute force and help from Ly, Rayman then proceeds to stop the rabbid's attempt at world domination. Defeated, the rabbids flee the Glade and take up residence in a very familiar world...
      Rayman 3 - Voodoo Momma has been able to make the Land of the Livid Dead peaceful again, which is why it is much more tranquil in this game. The first black lum, Andre, is born after Rayman's hands cause mischief. Andre is killed by Rayman's grimace power given to him by the Leptys
      Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge - the remaining Hoodlums try to revive their master but ultimately fail and the hoodlum race is destroyed for good (hopefully)
      Rayman Legends - a cult of evil teensies who worship Mr. Dark like Ales did invade worlds that neighbor the Glade of Dreams, Bubble Dreamer makes paintings with his dreams so that Rayman and company can go to these worlds to save them. The demonic being at the end of Olympus Maximus is actually the dark soul of Andre coming out of Hell in an attempt to kill Rayman and his friends

    • @ES21007
      @ES21007 8 лет назад +22

      *****
      My timeline is that Rayman 1 comes first actually. After that, Rayman meets Globox and spends several years being lazy before he accidentally causes the apocalypse in Origins. Because of this he's punished and sentenced to eternal slumber, but then is woken up 100 years later during Legends.
      Some time after that, Rayman meets Tily. He's still lazy, but Tily takes advantage of this by turning his training into fun competitions with his friends (Rayman Arena). Obviously, this fairy eventually grows up into Ly, and I like to think that Rayman her close friends call her Ly as a nickname as she grows up (MY HEADCANON!).
      Afterwards, Rayman 3 takes place (Ly isn't there... Because things, she was busy or something). Finally, during Rayman 2, Rayman gets a kick in the face because that's the closest he's ever come to failing, and that's when he mans up and starts taking his duties completely seriously.

This is mainly because I thought that Rayman 2 was too dark, which really started to faze me once I accidentally clicked the ‘I want the treasure’ option in the cave of bad dreams which for some reason really freaked me out. Also I’m an easy laugher, and most of the dialogue scenes made me laugh relatively hard. So yeah.

    Ok, now to actually say something about Rayman 3... I love it. It had a nearly perfect balance of what made the previous two games great; it was light-hearted but had a memorable story, had a great mix of platforming and combat, gorgeous graphics, and it lacked the clunkiness of Rayman 2 and the unforgiving difficulty of Rayman 1. I find it strange how many of the flaws you commented on for this game could daily be attributed to Rayman 2
    Easily my second favorite Rayman game. You just can't top Rayman Legends (at least not at this point in time)

    This game was my favorite game from my childhood, I remember I had a friend who had Rayman 2 for the N64 and we played the hell out of it, I got a Playstation 2 just to get a rayman game (I got rayman arena, which I still love, even though it might not be a great game, the fight and race mechanics were fun and versatile) then I got so hyped when I found out rayman 3 was coming out, I begged my parents so much and they gave it to me for my birthday, played it for years, no joke. I seriously couldnt wait for a new rayman, then raving rabbids came out, I didn't know it was just a minigame galore at the time, so I still got hyped and wanted a wii, didnt get it until like 7 years later, but raving rabbids didn't interest me anymore.
    Then origins came out... I mean, it's a good game don't get me wrong, and it's basically like Rayman 1, but it's painfully childish, sometimes the jokes are really funny and all but man, that's just not the rayman I grew up with, I still hope ubisoft reconsiders it and gives us Rayman 4 someday.

    You could make the argument that the first segment introduce you into the world like the title screen. If you look at it then it's beautiful with so many colors and lights shining into the night. Just look at the lake with the light shining onto the tree. The use of blue and red plus the small clouds, it all looks fantastic. Like you said in your recent Kya: Dark Lineage review you can see the land and places you have visited or will visit. This happens also in Rayman 3, you can see your destination in the far horizon or just out of sight and it really gives life to the world. My favorite is the under water robot boss when you can see him climbing from the cliff down into the water and walk off screen and later you face him. That is aweosme
