Not the Great Reveal/Revival I was hoping for...Rayman's back, ya'll...

 

[Alan Wake]

I love Rayman but this was maybe not what I was hoping for.

 

[Sticks]

Ancel in the cut that's a scary sight

 

[Robb]

Eh.. I've played this one so many times already. Not really interested in going through it again.

 

[xrnzaaas]

So how much for the collection? I haven't played classic Rayman games and my experienced with the earliest entries is limited, so I wouldn't mind changing that now.

 

[GymWolf]

120 new levels? I'm sorry?

 

[Faltherion]

Man... this was my childhood. I was never able to beat the game cause it was very difficult and i was just a little kid. I can't believe this is real. Gonna play tomorrow after literal decades.

 

[Banjo64]

Would have loved a remake in the style of Legends.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Physical release??

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

This game was hard as balls. As a platformers fan, when I bought my PS1, I paused in front of the store shelf for long minutes, choosing between Rayman and Resident Evil.
In the end, I chose RE. One of the best decisions of my life. I tried Rayman later and boy, what were they thinking?

It's cool that they included several versions, but seriously, who is going to play the GBA version? Jaguar at least has some historical merits, and I understand that it has some differences worth going through it.

The rewind feature and the cheats are surely a welcome bonus. I rarely give up on this kind of game, but Rayman really broke me back in the day.

120 new levels? I'm sorry?

It's extra levels that were included in various PC releases back in the day. (Rayman Gold, Rayman Forever, Rayman Collector).

But like, new levels with new assets, enemies, bosses etc.?

 

[Mownoc]

Was hoping for them to at least remaster the graphics a bit, but for $20 this seems like a good package.

Shut your ass, rayman was goated

Harder than the average dick after entering the sidney sweiner topic but still goated.

 

[Mownoc]

Don't think so. Afaik they were all created with the level editor on PC and use the same worlds and enemies as the originals.

 

[Baemono]

It went private ?

Eh, it was also stiff like that average dick. A far cry from the smooth controls of the best Japanese platformers. The thing I hated the most was how terribly slow the game was. And the FOV was ridiculously narrow. Leap of faith, the video game.
Now Rayman Origins, that one was a GOAT that got criminally overlooked because the 2010s weren't the time for that kind of game.

 

[Physiognomonics]

At least they are listening to fans who wants some Rayman game to play. No some new game in the same vein as Legends would be great.

Maybe i have nostalgia glasses but i only have good memories of that game, the music was otherwordly good.

 

[Generic]

Infinite lives should be good.

 

[TRL88]

I wanted an easy mode, infinite lives and continues don't really help much with the games difficulty. Meh, fans have put more effort into making the original more playable... I might grab it still, because it's Rayman and I kinda want to see a similar collection for 2 and all its ports and versions.

 

[RAIDEN1]

Never played it, but I am guessing I am not missing much..

 

[diemza]

It went private ?

Even on the official rayman channel on youtube .. weird..

 

[Dzab]

Not the biggest fan of the first game's actual gameplay, music is good, but I'm still gonna buy it to support Rayman and a chance of getting something similar for 2.

But... it's releasing today and there's still no store page? Lol. I'm so confused, where the hell is it, nothing on Steam

 

[Mr Hyde]

If it comes as a physical game on Switch I'll buy it. Certainly not the best Rayman, compared to the later ones it's pretty mediocre but it has a lot of charm and a lot of nostalgia tied to it, making it more of a collector's item than a must play game.

 

[RedC]

I can see myself getting this on a deep sale.
