The PS1 version is so different because it's based on earlier builds of the game rather than the final version of the game. It was most likely due to poor communication between the studios during the development as the PS1 version was handled by a different studio.
@RayCarrot thanks for saying that I was wondering that judging on the lums having eyes and also the Rayman 3 Gamecube port which was by the same Ubisoft company being from an earlier version I heard or read.
On the topic of Polokus and Jano, I forget how much of this is explained in the yellow lum lore, but basically, all of Polokus' dreams become reality; that's part of how Rayman's world and people were created. And that's all of his dreams, including his nightmares. Jano was the first nightmare Polokus ever had and I think it is meant to be basically he dreamt of an evil version of himself, hence the same hat
Agreed. Very important to understand the lore of Polokus early on, given that the Bubble Dreamer from Origins and Legends is actually meant to be Polokus!
@@PetroniousIt depends on which version your playing. The PS1/PS2 versions are missing the information. The game has a sort of "lore" that you can access by collecting the yellow lums. It is just a small bit of text unlocked every small milestone that tells you details about the land of dreams and it's inhabitants. It's really inconsequential, but it was cool to me when I was a kid. Hadn't played a game with lore before.
You know whats bizzare? For all the versions of Rayman 2 released, Ubisoft have not made an HD version for it, but INSTEAD made one for Rayman 3 on PS3 & X360. Crazy, I know.
Having the living embodiment of rayman cameo was just perfect 👌 another top tier video buddy, must have been an absolute mission to make this, its so in depth!!
Holy fucking shit Pete, and here I was hoping you were going to cover in some form the differences between versions which is a fascinating subject to me. This is such a treat to see! I'm giving this my full atention tomorrow morning no doubt.
Yes, except the PlayStation 1 version of Rayman 2 is missing half of the game Because of the voice acting. some levels like the Top of the World and The Sanctuary of Water and Ice were completely cut out as well.
The Rayman trilogy was a big part of my childhood. I played Rayman 1 on my ps1, Rayman 2 on my pc, and Rayman 3 on my ps2. I have come around to playing Rayman 2: Revolution too as a kid at my friend's house, and I even own a copy of it rn that I have finished years ago. I've seen my friend play the 3ds port which has the Dreamcast level menu but personally I like the n64 and pc level menus' mystical atmosphere the most.
Funnily enough, the PS2 version was actually my first version of Rayman 2 (aside from a demo level I had on PC and also a few bits of the N64 version I've played at my cousin's house) and at the time I thought it was just a new game since I bought it after Rayman 3. When I started playing it, I was like : "I'm liking this but why does it have worse graphics than Rayman 3?" Then after coming across the few levels I was familiar with, I realized I was actually playing Rayman 2 lol. Later down the line, I got to play a few other versions (N64, PC and 3ds) and realized how much extra stuff was crammed on the PS2 version, obviously it didn't feel bloated to me since it was my first exposure anyways but I definitely see where you're coming from, the hubs themselves aren't exactly easy to navigate and there's a lot more loading times to deal with as well. (Special mention to the abomination that is the 3ds version for having several bugs in the hidden "1000th" lum room including a guaranteed crash when you leave the area through that exit. Also, the flying missile likes to move on its own in that version, making that final level way harder that it needed to be.)
Great work on this whole video, Pete! And man, didn't know the PS2 was radically different than the PS1, let alone the Dreamcast version. And nice to get Nitro Rad as a cameo! I remember playing the DC version all those years ago, but didn't comprehend the concept of a memory bank, so I ended up playing the first few hours of the game repeatedly til' I returned it from my rental.
The PC port of Rayman 2 had one problem, you couldn't customize your controls without modding. Ironically, you could rebind your controls in the pc port of Tonic Trouble.
Oh boy...I could spend hours talking about Rayman 2/Revolution: long story short, it's my favourite game ever and the one I played the most on the PS2, without a doubt. I also got a copy of the Dreamcast version for collecting purposes. Great review, Pete! Just a question: where did you get that awesome Rayman t-shirt ?!
Brilliant video, Rayman 2 is one of my all time favourite games and whilst I'd looked up the port differences in the past it was much more enjoyable seeing that in more depth. Solid cameo from Nitro Rad too. Looking forward to the Rayman 3 video though, I absolutely loved that game but it seems to get mixed reviews
2 months? yeah, I can see it lmao I've never played a Rayman game but they're always looked super good to me. And if those rocket riding levels are anything like like the warthog/Polar/Pura riding levels in Crash, they're probably hella good
I completely forgot that extra boss and Space Invaders part of Revolution. Another excellent video and nice cameo from Nitro Rad! I'm surprised you didn't mention how great the music is, Razorbeard's theme is so kickass! Rayman 3 on GBA is a weird version of Rayman 2 and 3 combined.
The Dreamcast version is a must play for any fan of Rayman 2! I got it for the first time this summer and played through the game for the very first time (only reason I got a Dreamcast system believe it or not), and there's a lot of differences and tidbits that I feel the DC version is better to play through. There's even Globox Village in the DC version which isn't in any other version of the game (there is Globox's house in Revolution but it isnt the same). The N64 version is what I grew up with back in the day and yes, I didnt have a memory card on my first and probably 2nd, 3rd playthrough so I had the leave the console on to get through to the end at least once. 😆
the reason polokus and jeno have the same hat is actually explained in the manual of rayman origins I believe : so basically, while polokus was doing his God's shenanigans, he had his very first nightmare who was actually geno. I know it doesn't specifically states why they have the same hat, and god knows how much this series contradicts it's own lore but I just thought it was interesting to point out.
Fun fact about the random military guy that Razobeard buys the final boss from, that's actually a character called "The General" from the PC version of Ubisoft's actual first 3D platformer called Tonic Trouble, which was essentially made as a prototype for what Rayman 2 would become. To be more exact, Rayman 2 started out as another 2D platformer, but when the team saw the possibilities of the new consoles that were being made, they switched to 3D to take advantage of that. Unfortunately none of them had ever worked on a 3D game before, so they needed a new engine and some practice before they felt comfortable working on a sequel worthy of the Rayman name. At least that's the story I'm familiar with. EDIT: So I did a bit more digging and apparently that wasn't really the case. Tonic Trouble and the 2D Rayman 2 were developed by different teams at roughly the same time, but were conceptualized by the same person, hence the similar graphics.
Fuckin' love watching videos on Rayman 2, especially when it comes to the mass amounts of ports. I never knew the game was on anything other than the PS1 as a kid so when I saw the thing on DS at a friend's house I was blown away. :P
Had this on dreamcast 20 years ago and still think its on of the best jump and run games of all times. The music, the artstyle, gameplay, levels, enemies, the overall feeling, everything - perfect. Simply perfect.
Haven't even watched yet, but I want to say thanks for the video. Just started another playthrough of Rayman 2 and I'm always happy to see the game still get attention.
Great video! About Jano's and Polokus' hats: In the lore, Polokus (the god of the world) dreams, and his dreams become reality. When he has nightmares, it creates monsters, which are sent to the Cave of Bad Dreams, and Jano (the guardian of the Cave of Bad Dreams) is tasked with guarding the cave and its evil inhabitants. So there is a slight connection between Jano and Polokus, although it still doesn't explain why they have the exact same hat
How in the heck is it that so many Rayman 2 videos exist out there and yet this one didn't feel like the same old story with a differemt voice? The time put in here to cover the game in such detail is clear as day, loved this. 25 minutes to get to the combat? The build up was satisfying. And as for what those "electric ping pong balls" are: did you know that the DS port of Rabbids confirmed that Rayman's energy shots are actually lum energy? Yeah, he punches in some games and shoots in others, but does BOTH in that game with the power tied to collecting yellow lums. Man, it's gonna be so weird seeing what few characters are here return for R3 and Origins and hear your thoughts on them in those... ESPECIALLY Polokus in the latter.
Man, the Nitro Rad cameo appearances left me gleaming. :) Honestly makes me glad I didn't own the PS1 version growing up. It baffles me how Caddicarus only looked at the aforementioned inferior port a few years back and actually enjoyed it. I know it comes down to personal preference but still, coming from him, it's inexcusable in my books. Yours and Nitro Rad's reviews will always be superior in my eyes.
@@redlion5038 same tbh, I used to love his first three years on youtube because it felt like he was just acting himself in videos whilst having a fun now it feels like its purely a persona for his channel and covering games individually is something I prefer. New caddy is boring as hell.
Strangely enough I never played Rayman 2 or any of its sequels for the same reason I never played any of Gex's sequels. My brain just could not fathom them making the jump to 3D. Like my brain associated them so much with 2D platforming that the very notion of them in 3D made no sense to me at all, even though in both Rayman and Gex's case their 3D outings are considered the far superior titles. I guess what I'm saying is your video made me realize I really should get around to playing Rayman 2 at some point XD
Amazing video! And my oh my.. what an nostalgic trip that was! Growing up on the N64 version, it was cool to see all the different versions of the game
Thank you for this awesome video ! In my opinion this is one of the best and detailed videos on Rayman 2 on youtube! It was great listening to you talk about my favorite video game of all time ! I really need to play the dreamcast version of the game, I have heard so much good stuff about it. But still, the PC port is the one I grew up with and play to this day and still think that it's a great way to play this amazing game ! Again, great video, cheers !
I always liked the ps1 game more, the voice acting felt more fitting, i find the levels better paced and it has the better final boss. Sure as hell lobe the pc version as well. (On the voice acting, the fact bosses talk helped me love the game even more. It gives bosses actual reason to fight or help rayman)
Having played the PS2 version for last, I hate it. Literally everything new they added was boring or straight up offensive towards the pacing of the game. Moreover, the marginally higher graphics fidelity came with the exchange of having only half the framerate of the DC version, which still looks better if hooked with VGA so it could output 480p60fps.
Ive been a PS1 player of Rayman 2 since I was a kid and speedrunner for a while and I love that version of the game so, so much. It might be missing content, sure, but I had no context of that back in 2004 and when I play it next to the other versions I still prefer it, I think it controls better despite the framerate, especially if you play NTSC copies. I'm so happy it's still getting screentime on RUclips!
I like the PS1 version only because it’s different, so I can have a slightly altered version of Rayman 2 to play. But I really, really don’t think it controls better than the N64 or Dreamcast version at allz
@@davion4777 I’ve only ever played the PC version to compare the PS1 version to, I’ve gotta give the DC & N64 versions a go some day and see how they control
Well, Petronious. I know that the PlayStation 1 version Of Rayman 2 The Great Escape does have cut content and a good chunk of levels were trimmed down or completely removed and reducing the levels' sizes in that version, but it's still enjoyable to get through. And the Dreamcast version does look exquisite. I like the Dreamcast, PS1, Nintendo 3DS, and the PS2 versions the most as the best versions of Rayman 2 for me. The worst version is Rayman DS, due to the lack of the analog stick. and yes, the PS1 version is missing a lot of stuff because of sound files bloating up space on the disk
The PS1 version was my first exposure to R2 as well (aside from the GBC version but that's practically a different game with the same story) and to be honest, whilst I do accept that nostalgia probably plays a part in this, I can't bring myself to hate it as much as everyone else seems to do. Yes it sucks that a lot of the game has been cut, but I actually think the voice acting is pretty good all things considered (better than Revolution anyway!) and I loved the additional dialogue they added with the mask guardians. I also prefer the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire in this version - it seems that the optional segment was essentially merged with the compulsory bit, and it makes the dungeon feel larger and more eery. Heck, I think there's even a new segment in the middle that doesn't correspond with anything from the original. So yes, I really think the PS1 port deserves more love, even though you are right that the high amount of cut content probably wasn't necessary.
You bring up a great point, I genuinely think a platformer like Croc would've been more fondly remembered if it didn't have tank controls. Like why was that even a thing? The Dreamcast version looks so good and smooth in comparison to everything else. I also remember getting this game on many occasions for the DS and 3DS but never pulling the trigger. I think I'll pick up Revolution or better yet just get it on Dreamcast once I actually get one. Thank you for the awesome in-depth review, Petronious!
I remember being super disappointed the absence of a fourth Polokus temple. Already the 2nd and 3rd temples were a bit same-y (lava, lava, lava...), even though the 2nd one was supposed to be fire themed and the 3rd one was supposed to be earth themed. So I was looking forward to the "air temple." But nope, not in the game. I mean, yeah, okay - Revolution on PS2 added an air-themed mask guardian. But still no air temple! An air temple MUST'VE been planned at SOME point during development! But there's absolutely no info on it. Which I find weird. Really, nothing? Nada? Not a single mention anywhere? How curious. First the SwordQuest series on Atari 2600 got canned before AirWorld came out and then Rayman 2 had water, fire & earth temples but no air temple. Coincidence? :P
I also grew up with the PS1 version. After being berated & having rotten fruit thrown at me in the street (although that might not be to do with Rayman 2), I felt like playing the PC version of Rayman 2 this year... and I had to use a terrible joy2key program because the UPlay version doesn't have a modern fan patch like the GOG version. I got through the game just fine for the most part, then the ending section just destroyed me to the point that I gave up. May purchase the GOG version just for that patch or try to get the Dreamcast version up and running. Some jank aside, I did enjoy my time though. It's a very cosy game with such a great atmosphere. I appreciate what 3 tried to do but I feel like I vibe with 2 a lot more. It deserves to be ported this much because it's a lovely game everyone deserves to experience in some way. Yeah, I didn't stick with Revolution. I'm just not a fan of the hubworld either. Maybe next playthrough, I'll try again but not any time soon.
This was a great video. I loved playing Rayman growing up. I started with Rayman Revolution and then had the GBA version of Rayman 1. He needs to come to Smash
One smaller thing that's interesting to me about this game is the character animation. You'll notice the characters are a tiny bit jittery with their movements in the DC and PC version, not as smooth as the rest of the game, but this isn't an issue on PS1. So it seems like the animators animated everything at the lower framerate of the PS1, while the rest of the game was tailored specifically for the Dreamcast, which seems to be the target platform for the most complete version of the game. Very strange...
@@zetandpeligaming Well, I hope you like what you see! I've been around a while but the stuff from 2021 so far is in a newer, more review-focused format similar to this Rayman 2 video. Pretty happy with this style and it's a shame I've not been able to make more but... it is what it is! I appreciate you taking the time to have a look :)
@@Petronious I'm not too fond of using the term 'Smaller RUclipsr' as I feel it seems a bit patronising, especially as I'm on less than 300 subs myself, but as cliche as it sounds, this is the most impressed I've been with a 'smaller' channel in a long time. I watched the Rayman 1 video, and I'm very impressed with how you get so in depth and make the script sound so natural (This is something I'm building too myself, I'm more of an improv guy) I could probably talk to you about this stuff for ages 🤣😊. I'll keep watching
I'm playing the PSOne version right now, despite playing it on PC when I was young and finally completing the Dreamcast version last year. I'm playing this version for two reasons: I was getting curious about all the differences and most importantly, it's the easiest version to emulate. PSOne emulation really doesn't need a lot of power or even joysticks, making it a great game to play on my Anbernic RG35xx. Great video BTW! Rayman 2 has a special place in my heart (as do Rayman 1/Advance and Rayman 3), so this was very enjoyable!
Yeah that's the thing I stand by too. While not the best version by a long shot, I think the PS1 port is a nice curiosity to play thanks to the prototype at the end, if you're a big enough Rayman fan. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment too! 👍
Twas an entertaining video! Bit of advice for rayman 3. If you plan on playing the pc version, you’re going to want to limit your framerate (I forgot exactly to what). I say this because some of the falling platforms on the hoverboarding sections fall with a speed dependant on the framerate, and it made me fail a specific set of jumps quite a lot. Cheers
Great video, man. It’s weird, never been a fan of the original Rayman but I’ve always loved all the versions of Rayman 2, especially the PS1 and Dreamcast versions. Yep, for some reason, I love the PS1 version as I think it keeps the atmosphere while being more compact and to the point so to speak. I love playing it on the Duckstation emulator as it sharpens the image to HD and it looks hundreds of times better. Also, the save state / load state feature really helps the enjoyment of the game…😅 I’ve been looking for a good video comparing the PS1 version with the other ones for a long time, so thanks for this. You’ve got yourself a subscriber.
Thanks! Yeah when I was making this video it only made sense to make a bigger one covering as many ports as I have for that very reason! Seeing the differences is interesting. Thanks for subscribing 👍
@@Petronious No, I’m the one that should thank you for the great work. Also, having Nitro Rad in there was just great. I respect his work a lot too. Hey, if you allow me to give you an advice, try to play the PS1 version of Rayman 2 on Duckstation either on PC or maybe on Nvidia Shield TV like I do. It’s absolutely great to set the game up on HD with a higher frame rate. I love playing it like that, it is really a new experience in terms of visuals.👍
@@lehanderjau6269 Yeah Nitro Rad makes some excellent videos. Was great getting him in on this one of mine! I may give that a try some day but I'll be honest, I've played enough of Rayman 2 for now! 😅
While I've never played Rayman 2 for myself, I recall it was one of the first games I saw in action on a friends Nintendo 64. I'd love to give this game a shot someday, but the Dreamcast port seems the most enticing. I actually bought the PS1 version a long time ago, but I recall somebody saying it wasn't the best way to play it, so I'll just either have to wait until a DC port comes out, or maybe buckle down and get the PS2 version. Great review as always, dude!
To sum up some versions that I know: N64 - the original PC - the original but better (my personal favorite because it's so balanced) Dreamcast - almost like the original but added some content PS2 - added way too much content PS1 - removed way too much content
I love your videos. You’re a little like Caddicarus but I prefer you because you’re more straight to the point and less whacky. You also have amazing talent and great taste in games.
Also, I discovered this cool RUclips channel at 12:38PM Friday afternoon Auckland, New Zealand time, and I liked this video, and subscribed to this RUclips channel too.
Rayman Revolution is the definitive version of the game for me. I had both the PS1 version and Revolution as a kid, and I always preferred Revolution. The hub areas make the world feel more alive and connected.
The reason Rayman 2's PS1 port was so scaled back was because Ubisoft outsourced it to their inexperienced Chinese division to port it by any means necessary.
Personally I liked the additions of Rayman Revolution. Yeah they might have somewhat impeded the flow of the game at times, but the atmosphere of the game is what I'm playing it for and having more of the area and having it be more physically connected added to the journey.
I actually really enjoy the PS1 version of Rayman 2, i just don't consider it the "canon" events of what happened. I just like to enjoy it for what it is. My first version of Rayman 2 was the PC version, and that's my personal favourite version.
Played the PC version first, it was like my fav game ever for a long time (ever since i was 5). I'd say Dreamcast is equal, all others are downgrades and Revolution on the PS2 is the definitive one for me. But I agree they stuffed too much in it, and it's really more fun for someone that has seen the regular one and wants 'something more', like an expansion pack to it. Wouldn't recommend anyone playing to start with that one ;)
Rayman 3D on 3DS was the only way I was able to experience this game. 😔 Despite its bugs, rough frame rate on certain levels and broken skyboxes I saw in at least two of them I did really like it and got myself to look past the technical issues since I know they weren’t in the original game. With the remake news we got this week I really hope the remake that we’ve learned about is gonna be of this one as I’d love to play it without the problems I experienced on 3DS.
I enjoy your videos a lot and as an old fan I'm super excited when Rayman videos came out only recently, but you made me chuckle so hard at the ds part. Itt brought back so much memories! My parents got me Rayman 2 when I was little and due to its dark tone and my siblings being even younger they never let me play the game. Fast forward to christmas years later where each of us got a DS and a game. Due to the model of Rayman 3 being on the cover, my parents also thought it was a new Rayman that just used the 2 engine due to it being a DS game. Pretty quickly realized it was just two but in a bugged version - which is even bugged to this day. My brother and I recently tried to emulate it and there's a part with a net where the game is unplayable. Nevertheless, I feel like this was the first real life clickbait I had ever experienced and I was only 7 years old
I really loved this video, and Rayman 2: The Great Escape is Still my #1 Favourite Rayman Game of All Time, and this was interesting watching this awesome video. Also, I grew up with the PlayStation version of Rayman 2: the Great Escape, but 7 months ago I tried out the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2: The Great Escape game on the Dreamcast Emulator, and I like it better than the PlayStation version.
This was a very well crafted and thorough video about Rayman 2, so it’s kind of a shame it almost completely ignores the N64 version, which is the original. I think that version looks great for a N64 and it’s well worth a shot if someone has a N64 but not a Dreamcast for example. Still miles better than any PS versions.
@@davion4777 Thanks very much! I know there's more I could have covered but I mostly limited it to ones I have access to here, and it was none of those "pick your battles" kind of things, given how much time I'd already spent on this project. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment!
The PS1 version is the one I grew up playing, I know it’s the inferior port but it’s the most nostalgic for me, I still pretty the voice acting over the gibberish
I noticed you have the 10th Anniversary but on the PS2. I didnt know there was a 10th Anniversary version on the PS2. I have the GBA 10th Anniversary which is just Rayman Advance and Rayman 3 on one cartridge and I did a longplay of Advance on my channel but havent checked out Rayman 3 on GBA yet. I also got the 10th Anniversary on PC but...... not the North American release. I ordered the game on Amazon and because the particular order was "import", it was the EU release. lol. The 10th Anniversary on PC has Rayman M and Rayman 3 so they're the same as the PS2 10th Anniversary version but Rayman 2 is The Great Escape and the PC 10th Anniversary version has an extra title "Print Studio" which we can print Rayman things. As for Revolution which is one of my favorite ports, it's better to play it on the PS3 from the PS2 Classic section in the PS Store. Sadly though, it only had an NA release as EU and JPN was not released unfortunately.

And that's all of his dreams, including his nightmares. Jano was the first nightmare Polokus ever had and I think it is meant to be basically he dreamt of an evil version of himself, hence the same hat
it's a shame the game itself leaves that detail out, cause its a neat idea they could have shien in another cutscene somewhere.
Some unnecessary trivia; jano means "thirst" in Finnish.
Agreed. Very important to understand the lore of Polokus early on, given that the Bubble Dreamer from Origins and Legends is actually meant to be Polokus!
@@PetroniousIt depends on which version your playing. The PS1/PS2 versions are missing the information.

Holy fucking shit Pete, and here I was hoping you were going to cover in some form the differences between versions which is a fascinating subject to me.
This is such a treat to see! I'm giving this my full atention tomorrow morning no doubt.
This game is definitely one of my top 5 favorite video games of all time. I grew up on the PC and PS1 versions.
Yes, except the PlayStation 1 version of Rayman 2 is missing half of the game Because of the voice acting. some levels like the Top of the World and The Sanctuary of Water and Ice were completely cut out as well.
FYI, the N64 version of the game also has all the content that the PS1 version is missing.
So the N64 version is basically the same as the Dreamcast version?
@@rightyloosey8554 It has the PS1 spacey hub world.
@@rightyloosey8554 Kinda. It has all the content from the DC version, but selecting levels work like the PS1 version, with the dark lake and stars.
@@marcsm2008 I think I'll buy that version, then. Either that or the Dreamcast version, whichever is cheaper.
@@rightyloosey8554 Also, N64 version's music is different. Worth keeping in mind.
The Rayman trilogy was a big part of my childhood. I played Rayman 1 on my ps1, Rayman 2 on my pc, and Rayman 3 on my ps2. I have come around to playing Rayman 2: Revolution too as a kid at my friend's house, and I even own a copy of it rn that I have finished years ago. I've seen my friend play the 3ds port which has the Dreamcast level menu but personally I like the n64 and pc level menus' mystical atmosphere the most.

When I started playing it, I was like : "I'm liking this but why does it have worse graphics than Rayman 3?"
Then after coming across the few levels I was familiar with, I realized I was actually playing Rayman 2 lol.
Later down the line, I got to play a few other versions (N64, PC and 3ds) and realized how much extra stuff was crammed on the PS2 version, obviously it didn't feel bloated to me since it was my first exposure anyways but I definitely see where you're coming from, the hubs themselves aren't exactly easy to navigate and there's a lot more loading times to deal with as well.

Also, the flying missile likes to move on its own in that version, making that final level way harder that it needed to be.)
Rayman and 2 has got to have the most amount of ports out of the entire series.
Great work on this whole video, Pete! And man, didn't know the PS2 was radically different than the PS1, let alone the Dreamcast version. And nice to get Nitro Rad as a cameo!

The PC port of Rayman 2 had one problem, you couldn't customize your controls without modding.
Ironically, you could rebind your controls in the pc port of Tonic Trouble.
I've still never played the PS1 version. One day must go back and see what exactly was wrong with it for myself
What an excellent video - so comprehensive and well-done!
Thanks, Alex! :)
Oh boy...I could spend hours talking about Rayman 2/Revolution: long story short, it's my favourite game ever and the one I played the most on the PS2, without a doubt. I also got a copy of the Dreamcast version for collecting purposes. Great review, Pete! Just a question: where did you get that awesome Rayman t-shirt ?!
The t-shirt is a design by MarkProductions.
He's on RUclips, Twitter, and Instagram... but his store with the T-shirt Designs is over on TeeSpring! :)
Awesome! Can't wait for the Rayman 3 vid, that game is so nostalgic for me :D
I'm looking forward to playing it again. I've only really played through it the one time and I don't even remember when that was!
Brilliant video, Rayman 2 is one of my all time favourite games and whilst I'd looked up the port differences in the past it was much more enjoyable seeing that in more depth. Solid cameo from Nitro Rad too. Looking forward to the Rayman 3 video though, I absolutely loved that game but it seems to get mixed reviews
2 months? yeah, I can see it lmao
I've never played a Rayman game but they're always looked super good to me. And if those rocket riding levels are anything like like the warthog/Polar/Pura riding levels in Crash, they're probably hella good
They have a very different feel about them, but not in a bad way!
I completely forgot that extra boss and Space Invaders part of Revolution. Another excellent video and nice cameo from Nitro Rad! I'm surprised you didn't mention how great the music is, Razorbeard's theme is so kickass! Rayman 3 on GBA is a weird version of Rayman 2 and 3 combined.
The Dreamcast version is a must play for any fan of Rayman 2! I got it for the first time this summer and played through the game for the very first time (only reason I got a Dreamcast system believe it or not), and there's a lot of differences and tidbits that I feel the DC version is better to play through. There's even Globox Village in the DC version which isn't in any other version of the game (there is Globox's house in Revolution but it isnt the same). The N64 version is what I grew up with back in the day and yes, I didnt have a memory card on my first and probably 2nd, 3rd playthrough so I had the leave the console on to get through to the end at least once. 😆
the reason polokus and jeno have the same hat is actually explained in the manual of rayman origins I believe : so basically, while polokus was doing his God's shenanigans, he had his very first nightmare who was actually geno. I know it doesn't specifically states why they have the same hat, and god knows how much this series contradicts it's own lore but I just thought it was interesting to point out.
Fun fact about the random military guy that Razobeard buys the final boss from, that's actually a character called "The General" from the PC version of Ubisoft's actual first 3D platformer called Tonic Trouble, which was essentially made as a prototype for what Rayman 2 would become. To be more exact, Rayman 2 started out as another 2D platformer, but when the team saw the possibilities of the new consoles that were being made, they switched to 3D to take advantage of that. Unfortunately none of them had ever worked on a 3D game before, so they needed a new engine and some practice before they felt comfortable working on a sequel worthy of the Rayman name. At least that's the story I'm familiar with.
EDIT: So I did a bit more digging and apparently that wasn't really the case. Tonic Trouble and the 2D Rayman 2 were developed by different teams at roughly the same time, but were conceptualized by the same person, hence the similar graphics.
Fuckin' love watching videos on Rayman 2, especially when it comes to the mass amounts of ports. I never knew the game was on anything other than the PS1 as a kid so when I saw the thing on DS at a friend's house I was blown away. :P
Had this on dreamcast 20 years ago and still think its on of the best jump and run games of all times. The music, the artstyle, gameplay, levels, enemies, the overall feeling, everything - perfect. Simply perfect.
Now this is hype! Good job !!
5:50 Rayman 3D 5:51 OOF right in the face
Haven't even watched yet, but I want to say thanks for the video. Just started another playthrough of Rayman 2 and I'm always happy to see the game still get attention.
I've only played the 3DS version.
...It has its moments, I guess.
Great video!
About Jano's and Polokus' hats: In the lore, Polokus (the god of the world) dreams, and his dreams become reality. When he has nightmares, it creates monsters, which are sent to the Cave of Bad Dreams, and Jano (the guardian of the Cave of Bad Dreams) is tasked with guarding the cave and its evil inhabitants. So there is a slight connection between Jano and Polokus, although it still doesn't explain why they have the exact same hat
Oh my god over an hour of Petronious goodness🤩
How in the heck is it that so many Rayman 2 videos exist out there and yet this one didn't feel like the same old story with a differemt voice? The time put in here to cover the game in such detail is clear as day, loved this.
25 minutes to get to the combat? The build up was satisfying. And as for what those "electric ping pong balls" are: did you know that the DS port of Rabbids confirmed that Rayman's energy shots are actually lum energy? Yeah, he punches in some games and shoots in others, but does BOTH in that game with the power tied to collecting yellow lums.
Man, it's gonna be so weird seeing what few characters are here return for R3 and Origins and hear your thoughts on them in those... ESPECIALLY Polokus in the latter.
Man, the Nitro Rad cameo appearances left me gleaming. :) Honestly makes me glad I didn't own the PS1 version growing up. It baffles me how Caddicarus only looked at the aforementioned inferior port a few years back and actually enjoyed it. I know it comes down to personal preference but still, coming from him, it's inexcusable in my books.
Yours and Nitro Rad's reviews will always be superior in my eyes.
Though I was honestly surprised Nitro Rad didn't like the final boss in Rayman 3. IMHO it's one of the best final bosses in 3D platformers.
@@ThePreciseClimber He did have a good point about turret sections being a horrible idea in platformers though.
I never find anything or funny special about cadd
@@UltimateGamingDude Perhaps. But I thought the "turret sections" in Rayman 3 were pretty fun.
@@redlion5038 same tbh, I used to love his first three years on youtube because it felt like he was just acting himself in videos whilst having a fun now it feels like its purely a persona for his channel and covering games individually is something I prefer.
New caddy is boring as hell.
Strangely enough I never played Rayman 2 or any of its sequels for the same reason I never played any of Gex's sequels. My brain just could not fathom them making the jump to 3D. Like my brain associated them so much with 2D platforming that the very notion of them in 3D made no sense to me at all, even though in both Rayman and Gex's case their 3D outings are considered the far superior titles.
I guess what I'm saying is your video made me realize I really should get around to playing Rayman 2 at some point XD
Do it!
Amazing video! And my oh my.. what an nostalgic trip that was! Growing up on the N64 version, it was cool to see all the different versions of the game
I only ever played on 64 but man that dream cast version looked 👌
Thank you for this awesome video ! In my opinion this is one of the best and detailed videos on Rayman 2 on youtube! It was great listening to you talk about my favorite video game of all time ! I really need to play the dreamcast version of the game, I have heard so much good stuff about it. But still, the PC port is the one I grew up with and play to this day and still think that it's a great way to play this amazing game ! Again, great video, cheers !
3 years later RUclips brings me finally here. Good video, and nice to get Nitro Rad. 👍
Yeah it was nice of him to drop in!
I always liked the ps1 game more, the voice acting felt more fitting, i find the levels better paced and it has the better final boss. Sure as hell lobe the pc version as well. (On the voice acting, the fact bosses talk helped me love the game even more. It gives bosses actual reason to fight or help rayman)
Whoa! Gonna have to save this boi for later, I gotta work. I’ll run it in the background though!
Just gonna throw it out there that Revolution is my favorite out of the ports .
You don’t mind the slower frame rate in the hub worlds?
@@gamestation2690 yeah, that never really hindered my experience.
You're that guy who gave Caddy that George of the Jungle game?
@@gamestation2690 Nope it's didn't matter in 2000 when I was 7 I liked it still do
Having played the PS2 version for last, I hate it.
Literally everything new they added was boring or straight up offensive towards the pacing of the game.
Moreover, the marginally higher graphics fidelity came with the exchange of having only half the framerate of the DC version, which still looks better if hooked with VGA so it could output 480p60fps.
Was looking forward to this one!
Ive been a PS1 player of Rayman 2 since I was a kid and speedrunner for a while and I love that version of the game so, so much. It might be missing content, sure, but I had no context of that back in 2004 and when I play it next to the other versions I still prefer it, I think it controls better despite the framerate, especially if you play NTSC copies. I'm so happy it's still getting screentime on RUclips!
That voice acting is pretty amusing. Grew up with that version, my favorite as well.
I like the PS1 version only because it’s different, so I can have a slightly altered version of Rayman 2 to play.
But I really, really don’t think it controls better than the N64 or Dreamcast version at allz
@@davion4777 I’ve only ever played the PC version to compare the PS1 version to, I’ve gotta give the DC & N64 versions a go some day and see how they control
Hell yeah Nitro Rad makes a cameo! Was just watching you for the first time enjoying your content and really enjoyed this surprise how awesome lol.
Well, Petronious. I know that the PlayStation 1 version Of Rayman 2 The Great Escape does have cut content and a good chunk of levels were trimmed down or completely removed and reducing the levels' sizes in that version, but it's still enjoyable to get through. And the Dreamcast version does look exquisite. I like the Dreamcast, PS1, Nintendo 3DS, and the PS2 versions the most as the best versions of Rayman 2 for me. The worst version is Rayman DS, due to the lack of the analog stick. and yes, the PS1 version is missing a lot of stuff because of sound files bloating up space on the disk
Nice review as always. Can’t wait for the Rayman 3 review.
The PS1 version was my first exposure to R2 as well (aside from the GBC version but that's practically a different game with the same story) and to be honest, whilst I do accept that nostalgia probably plays a part in this, I can't bring myself to hate it as much as everyone else seems to do.
Yes it sucks that a lot of the game has been cut, but I actually think the voice acting is pretty good all things considered (better than Revolution anyway!) and I loved the additional dialogue they added with the mask guardians. I also prefer the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire in this version - it seems that the optional segment was essentially merged with the compulsory bit, and it makes the dungeon feel larger and more eery. Heck, I think there's even a new segment in the middle that doesn't correspond with anything from the original. So yes, I really think the PS1 port deserves more love, even though you are right that the high amount of cut content probably wasn't necessary.
You bring up a great point, I genuinely think a platformer like Croc would've been more fondly remembered if it didn't have tank controls. Like why was that even a thing? The Dreamcast version looks so good and smooth in comparison to everything else. I also remember getting this game on many occasions for the DS and 3DS but never pulling the trigger. I think I'll pick up Revolution or better yet just get it on Dreamcast once I actually get one.
Thank you for the awesome in-depth review, Petronious!
HOLY CRAP - OVER 1 HOUR!?
That's amazing! More Rayman = better!
I remember being super disappointed the absence of a fourth Polokus temple. Already the 2nd and 3rd temples were a bit same-y (lava, lava, lava...), even though the 2nd one was supposed to be fire themed and the 3rd one was supposed to be earth themed. So I was looking forward to the "air temple." But nope, not in the game.
I mean, yeah, okay - Revolution on PS2 added an air-themed mask guardian. But still no air temple! An air temple MUST'VE been planned at SOME point during development! But there's absolutely no info on it. Which I find weird. Really, nothing? Nada? Not a single mention anywhere? How curious.
First the SwordQuest series on Atari 2600 got canned before AirWorld came out and then Rayman 2 had water, fire & earth temples but no air temple. Coincidence? :P
Great job on the video!
I also grew up with the PS1 version. After being berated & having rotten fruit thrown at me in the street (although that might not be to do with Rayman 2), I felt like playing the PC version of Rayman 2 this year... and I had to use a terrible joy2key program because the UPlay version doesn't have a modern fan patch like the GOG version. I got through the game just fine for the most part, then the ending section just destroyed me to the point that I gave up. May purchase the GOG version just for that patch or try to get the Dreamcast version up and running.
Some jank aside, I did enjoy my time though. It's a very cosy game with such a great atmosphere. I appreciate what 3 tried to do but I feel like I vibe with 2 a lot more. It deserves to be ported this much because it's a lovely game everyone deserves to experience in some way.
Yeah, I didn't stick with Revolution. I'm just not a fan of the hubworld either. Maybe next playthrough, I'll try again but not any time soon.
Yeah gotta give props to GOG for having the older rayman games on there for dirt cheap. I might pick them up on there myself some time.
This was a great video. I loved playing Rayman growing up. I started with Rayman Revolution and then had the GBA version of Rayman 1. He needs to come to Smash
i did NOT expect nitro rad to appear, when he started talking i thought i was just tired and hearing things but anyway pretty cool video!
A nice surprise, then!
Thanks very much 👍
One smaller thing that's interesting to me about this game is the character animation. You'll notice the characters are a tiny bit jittery with their movements in the DC and PC version, not as smooth as the rest of the game, but this isn't an issue on PS1. So it seems like the animators animated everything at the lower framerate of the PS1, while the rest of the game was tailored specifically for the Dreamcast, which seems to be the target platform for the most complete version of the game. Very strange...
Well I discovered your channel completely by accident. You're very good at this. I subbed :)
Nice of you to say, thanks!
@@Petronious No problem :). Gives me a bunch of content to binge.
@@zetandpeligaming Well, I hope you like what you see! I've been around a while but the stuff from 2021 so far is in a newer, more review-focused format similar to this Rayman 2 video. Pretty happy with this style and it's a shame I've not been able to make more but... it is what it is!
I appreciate you taking the time to have a look :)
@@Petronious I'm not too fond of using the term 'Smaller RUclipsr' as I feel it seems a bit patronising, especially as I'm on less than 300 subs myself, but as cliche as it sounds, this is the most impressed I've been with a 'smaller' channel in a long time. I watched the Rayman 1 video, and I'm very impressed with how you get so in depth and make the script sound so natural (This is something I'm building too myself, I'm more of an improv guy) I could probably talk to you about this stuff for ages 🤣😊. I'll keep watching
People diss PS1 Rayman for cut content, I didn't know as a kid and now don't give a crap. I adored the game and still fond of it.
Yeah, I've fond memories of it too. I just found it interesting to dive into more than just the one port, as they're all so different!
I'm playing the PSOne version right now, despite playing it on PC when I was young and finally completing the Dreamcast version last year. I'm playing this version for two reasons: I was getting curious about all the differences and most importantly, it's the easiest version to emulate. PSOne emulation really doesn't need a lot of power or even joysticks, making it a great game to play on my Anbernic RG35xx.
Great video BTW! Rayman 2 has a special place in my heart (as do Rayman 1/Advance and Rayman 3), so this was very enjoyable!
Yeah that's the thing I stand by too. While not the best version by a long shot, I think the PS1 port is a nice curiosity to play thanks to the prototype at the end, if you're a big enough Rayman fan.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment too! 👍
@@Petronious Indeed! And being able to play the PSOne version is also way better than not being able the game at all :)
Twas an entertaining video!
Bit of advice for rayman 3. If you plan on playing the pc version, you’re going to want to limit your framerate (I forgot exactly to what). I say this because some of the falling platforms on the hoverboarding sections fall with a speed dependant on the framerate, and it made me fail a specific set of jumps quite a lot. Cheers
Good to know, but I'll probably just stick to the PS2 to be honest :)
love your videos and channel
Great video, man. It’s weird, never been a fan of the original Rayman but I’ve always loved all the versions of Rayman 2, especially the PS1 and Dreamcast versions. Yep, for some reason, I love the PS1 version as I think it keeps the atmosphere while being more compact and to the point so to speak. I love playing it on the Duckstation emulator as it sharpens the image to HD and it looks hundreds of times better. Also, the save state / load state feature really helps the enjoyment of the game…😅
I’ve been looking for a good video comparing the PS1 version with the other ones for a long time, so thanks for this. You’ve got yourself a subscriber.
Thanks! Yeah when I was making this video it only made sense to make a bigger one covering as many ports as I have for that very reason! Seeing the differences is interesting.
Thanks for subscribing 👍
@@Petronious
No, I’m the one that should thank you for the great work. Also, having Nitro Rad in there was just great. I respect his work a lot too.
Hey, if you allow me to give you an advice, try to play the PS1 version of Rayman 2 on Duckstation either on PC or maybe on Nvidia Shield TV like I do. It’s absolutely great to set the game up on HD with a higher frame rate. I love playing it like that, it is really a new experience in terms of visuals.👍
@@lehanderjau6269 Yeah Nitro Rad makes some excellent videos. Was great getting him in on this one of mine!
I may give that a try some day but I'll be honest, I've played enough of Rayman 2 for now! 😅
While I've never played Rayman 2 for myself, I recall it was one of the first games I saw in action on a friends Nintendo 64. I'd love to give this game a shot someday, but the Dreamcast port seems the most enticing. I actually bought the PS1 version a long time ago, but I recall somebody saying it wasn't the best way to play it, so I'll just either have to wait until a DC port comes out, or maybe buckle down and get the PS2 version.
Great review as always, dude!
Once, I used this nice video to help provide me a comfortable sleep. Second time won't hurt to do so again!
To sum up some versions that I know:
N64 - the original
PC - the original but better (my personal favorite because it's so balanced)
Dreamcast - almost like the original but added some content
PS2 - added way too much content
PS1 - removed way too much content
I love your videos. You’re a little like Caddicarus but I prefer you because you’re more straight to the point and less whacky. You also have amazing talent and great taste in games.
I think im probably the only person who finds the english voice acting in the PS1 version to be more endearing than the raymanian gibberish.
Also, I discovered this cool RUclips channel at 12:38PM Friday afternoon Auckland, New Zealand time, and I liked this video, and subscribed to this RUclips channel too.
phew ngl u had me worried when i saw u had the ps1 version bullet dodged
I got the 3DS version for $5 at Kmart when they were closing and as someone who never played Rayman 2, I though it was AMAZING!
@@ranchman693 yeah you got yourself a damn good game for $5 that day!
Rayman Revolution is the definitive version of the game for me. I had both the PS1 version and Revolution as a kid, and I always preferred Revolution. The hub areas make the world feel more alive and connected.
The reason Rayman 2's PS1 port was so scaled back was because Ubisoft outsourced it to their inexperienced Chinese division to port it by any means necessary.
Personally I liked the additions of Rayman Revolution. Yeah they might have somewhat impeded the flow of the game at times, but the atmosphere of the game is what I'm playing it for and having more of the area and having it be more physically connected added to the journey.
Great video! The 3ds version looks bad but it's possible to reach 60 faster with some modded New 2ds/3ds overclocking.
9:59 lets not forget that the magician has a similar hat
This game and resident evil 4 are the most ported games of all time
If you own a softmodded New 3DS, you can get Rayman 3D to work in 60fps. It's pretty neat.
I don't have one of those, but that's interesting to know!
I have the 3DS version of Rayman 2.
I actually really enjoy the PS1 version of Rayman 2, i just don't consider it the "canon" events of what happened. I just like to enjoy it for what it is.
My first version of Rayman 2 was the PC version, and that's my personal favourite version.
Re: Rayman 1, you should read about the fan-made Rayman Redemption project.
Yeah I played through the whole thing and gave it a mini review within my Rayman 1 video, towards the end.
@@Petronious apologies for my hasty comment!
Apparently they did try to implement classic fist throw as an attack option, but it was removed, guess it didn't quite work like they wanted it to
Played the PC version first, it was like my fav game ever for a long time (ever since i was 5). I'd say Dreamcast is equal, all others are downgrades and Revolution on the PS2 is the definitive one for me. But I agree they stuffed too much in it, and it's really more fun for someone that has seen the regular one and wants 'something more', like an expansion pack to it. Wouldn't recommend anyone playing to start with that one ;)
Rayman 3D on 3DS was the only way I was able to experience this game. 😔 Despite its bugs, rough frame rate on certain levels and broken skyboxes I saw in at least two of them I did really like it and got myself to look past the technical issues since I know they weren’t in the original game. With the remake news we got this week I really hope the remake that we’ve learned about is gonna be of this one as I’d love to play it without the problems I experienced on 3DS.
YES
I enjoy your videos a lot and as an old fan I'm super excited when Rayman videos came out only recently, but you made me chuckle so hard at the ds part. Itt brought back so much memories! My parents got me Rayman 2 when I was little and due to its dark tone and my siblings being even younger they never let me play the game. Fast forward to christmas years later where each of us got a DS and a game. Due to the model of Rayman 3 being on the cover, my parents also thought it was a new Rayman that just used the 2 engine due to it being a DS game. Pretty quickly realized it was just two but in a bugged version - which is even bugged to this day. My brother and I recently tried to emulate it and there's a part with a net where the game is unplayable. Nevertheless, I feel like this was the first real life clickbait I had ever experienced and I was only 7 years old
AND YET It's still not on the Switch!
I know right? I'd genuinely like all of the older rayman games on there!
SUPERB VIDEO!
I have played the ps1 version back then and it was a top 10 out of 10 platformer for me.
I really loved this video, and Rayman 2: The Great Escape is Still my #1 Favourite Rayman Game of All Time, and this was interesting watching this awesome video. Also, I grew up with the PlayStation version of Rayman 2: the Great Escape, but 7 months ago I tried out the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2: The Great Escape game on the Dreamcast Emulator, and I like it better than the PlayStation version.
This was a very well crafted and thorough video about Rayman 2, so it’s kind of a shame it almost completely ignores the N64 version, which is the original.
I think that version looks great for a N64 and it’s well worth a shot if someone has a N64 but not a Dreamcast for example.
Still miles better than any PS versions.
@@davion4777 Thanks very much! I know there's more I could have covered but I mostly limited it to ones I have access to here, and it was none of those "pick your battles" kind of things, given how much time I'd already spent on this project.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment!
Rayman 2 is fantastic. Game felt ahead of its time
The PS1 version is the one I grew up playing, I know it’s the inferior port but it’s the most nostalgic for me, I still pretty the voice acting over the gibberish
I noticed you have the 10th Anniversary but on the PS2. I didnt know there was a 10th Anniversary version on the PS2. I have the GBA 10th Anniversary which is just Rayman Advance and Rayman 3 on one cartridge and I did a longplay of Advance on my channel but havent checked out Rayman 3 on GBA yet. I also got the 10th Anniversary on PC but...... not the North American release. I ordered the game on Amazon and because the particular order was "import", it was the EU release. lol. The 10th Anniversary on PC has Rayman M and Rayman 3 so they're the same as the PS2 10th Anniversary version but Rayman 2 is The Great Escape and the PC 10th Anniversary version has an extra title "Print Studio" which we can print Rayman things. As for Revolution which is one of my favorite ports, it's better to play it on the PS3 from the PS2 Classic section in the PS Store. Sadly though, it only had an NA release as EU and JPN was not released unfortunately.
If you play the 3DS version on a hacked New 3DS, you can get a smooth frame rate by tweaking the New 3DS settings in the Rosalina menu
@@davidmorin2818 I've heard that, but that's not the way I'm able to play it unfortunately 😅
I grew up on the 64 version.
The only real difference I ever noticed was it didn't have full voice acting.
Everyone talked like Sims
I thought it was cute when you said I'm not allowed to have fun
James just coming in saying what we where all thinking
Does anyone ever noitce that in Rayman 1 2 and 3 Everytime rayman beats the main bad guy the bad guy leaves at the end
lovely!
Yooo nitrorad! I associate rayman with him
I have Rayman 2 for N64 and 3DS. We need an upgrade from the latter port for the Switch.
Oh yeah for sure. If Ubisoft slapped a Rayman collection on Switch, I'd probably buy it!
@@Petronious Its interesting how many versions of Rayman 2 exist. The PS1 version is unique because of the different final boss fight.
