Longplay - Rayman (Atari Jaguar | HD 720p60)

[@rage7805]

Interesting fact: Rayman was specifically made for the Jaguar. As in the original. Every other console that had it during this time was a port of the Atari version. Hence why it is so smooth running.

[@ZAGGI777]

But the sound and music are waaaaay better on pc/psx version (never saw saturn/other versions)

[@Beansman-gp3ws]

@@ZAGGI777 The Saturn uses the same soundtrack as the PSX version

[@tskraj3190]

Fact: The Jaguar had two Motorola MC68000s but only one was used for graphics processing while the other was used for sound processing because developers at the time didn't have the knowledge to code games to properly utilize two CPUs simultaneously.

[@arandomworm8713]

Also, there are two consoles that will release this game is 3DO and another machine but since they have been cancelled, Ubisoft don't developing them anymore

[@lionocyborg6030]

@Seven Saturn, PC (with Rayman Plus installed so you can use the Saturn/PS1 soundtrack, extra languages & QoL settings) and GBA are all the best versions. The Saturn for its unique backgrounds in places (like a rainbow in Picture City) and weather effects like on PC, the PC version for the level design and limited voice acting in gameplay, and the GBA version for the nice MIDI remixes of the original tracks (different sound font to the _original_ original ones on Jaguar), easier gameplay and the two exclusive tracks in Blue Mountains.

I find it funny that most of the characters and enemies have been modernized in the newer titles and not making them look like they don't have limbs, but Rayman will always stay the same without limbs, and this game is a legend even though it gotten ports over to the DSi, ios, android and many other platforms

If Rayman himself had limbs, he wouldn't be as recognizable as he is to this day. It's like removing Mario's moustache, it doesn't make sense.

This is the only version of the game I've seen where the Mosquito's gloves do not get discolored into pink for a few frames. AND there's no glitched animation at the end of the shmup stage! Always wondered what that was supposed to look like and surprised that that level simply ends entirely differently.

[@awesome117unsc]

I always thought the P.S 1 version was the original after all these years, and the sounds are way different on this version. Great video.

It's striking just how different the music and sound design are in this first version of Rayman. Went from underwhelming to iconic in its subsequent releases!

Jesus Christ, there's so many differences in this compared to the PS1 version, it feels like a prototype version. But then again, there's some features that are REMOVED of all things.

Pure speculation, not very likely. The Jaguar could handle these physics easily. And i think this is the original design, because the sliding physics feel tacked on.

[@M1XART]

As a platform character with world full of magical imagination, Rayman is head and shoulders above anything else than Mario, Sonic or Donkey Kong. First Rayman -game is criminally underrated, largely due it's simpy too difficult on later levels. Requiring sharp timing and fast responses. Rayman should have remained on first Atari Jaguar only, for exclusive mascot to tighten competition. Sequels, Rayman 2 and Rayman 3 are the best examples for incredible flawless 3D -platforming.

[@M1XART]

Yes, there is Game Boy Color version that is quite playable, also. But Jaguar has the best version of first Rayman.

[@darkdoescosplays]

Although the midi-style music sounds a bit lifeless compared to the PS1 version... I actually prefer some of the music choices, as well as the fact there isn't an obvious pause because the console is loading a new track; the music actually does loop in this. I prefer the punchier bass and use of drums in the final boss music too, along with a brief classical moment at the loop.

[@theobserver4214]

Glitch Walker You might be interesting in the PC OST. It doesn’t have to stop and play a new track

Today I just beat the game off an authentic cartridge and system of this game. With nearly ten years of experience in playing the Playstation and Gameboy Advance version (and not beating them) I bought a Jaguar in one auction and bought a Rayman cartridge in another on eBay. The day I got it (which was one month ago) I began working on completing every level, but deliberately get no cages. Once I finished Mr. Skops, I began looking for a guide on the internet on how to get all the cages. Barely anyone on the universe cares about this port of the game, so this video was the only source on how to get to the last level and eventually defeat Mr. Dark. Thanks for being that one person to technically make a guide on how to beat specifically the Jaguar version as other versions have cages in different places.

I find it weird how the mini Rayman in the Jaguar version is properly lined-up, while in every other version mini Rayman's hair, body, and head are slightly misaligned. I don't understand why they didn't see that? Another thing I found weird is the disappearing clouds don't open their eyes in every other version of this game. On another note the sound effects in the Jag version are really good, you can really feel the impact when Rayman punches something, and I prefer the Jag's version of the helicopter sound effect over the loud and obnoxious one they used in every other version.

[@martinefrensoquigomez7835]

thepuzzlemaster64 Well, THIS is the original version.

[@thepuzzlemaster64]

+Anon Overseer I know that, and I won't lose sleep over the PS1 version not having the Jag sound effects and maybe the cloud sprites. I'm just a bit OCD when it comes to the mini Rayman sprites. I can understand for the PS1 version it could of been a programming mistake, but HOW did they not noticed this after the third time they ported this game! They ported this game like a dozen times, and they STILL didn't fix it! AND IT BUGS THE HELL OUT OF ME!!!

[@theobserver4214]

thepuzzlemaster64 PC version is better than the PS1 version

[@thepuzzlemaster64]

+Blank Blank I agree (it's also the only one I own), as it's the one that has the most content (by one level or so), and fixed a lot of somewhat frame perfect jumps, but due to PCs of the time being 16-bit (as opposed to 32-bit). It's the second least detailed (I still don't understand why it doesn't have the full soundtrack though, because unless if I'm mistaken PC CDs are the same as PS1 CDs). Although graphically the Saturn version is my favorite. I also wonder why no one has tried remaking the Rayman Trilogy (official or fan made)? I'd love to see Rayman 1 with hand-drawn sprites and backgrounds, or Rayman 2 with updated models and with more user friendly controller support for PC (or Ubisoft could port Rayman Revolution to modern consoles), and Rayman 3 with... Well the game's already good enough as is except for the lip syncing during cut-scenes. Anyway back on topic. The reason why I used the PS1 version was because it was the second version of the game (even though it came out first), and it's the one Ubisoft used the most when porting the game to multiple consoles... Well until they ported it to PC Then they just used that one (or Rayman Forever) for every other port (except for the PlayStation Classics version, but that's just emulation). (ó~ò) I hope you're not using your iPod/iPhone to read this.

I just noticed an interesting difference between the Jaguar version and the other versions that doesn't seem to have been brought up before, I may be crazy but it seems like Betilla doesn't appear to get kidnapped in this version, why do I say this? Because I noticed that in the Jaguar version you go straight back to the map like normal after beating Space mama and Skops, whereas in the other versions of the game, there are messages with still images telling the player that Mr. Dark has kidnapped Betilla (after beating Space Mama) and Betilla asking you to help her (after beating Skops), is it possible that Ubisoft decided to add that into the other versions as a sub-plot to give the player a sense of urgency since they're so close to the end?

[@EvelynChodura]

to be honest, I never noticed that! O_O...maybe they added it to make the final-showdown thrilling for the player :O

[@superrayman3]

When I first saw Rayman gameplay and completely knowing nothing about the franchise, It honestly looks like a Sega Genesis or SNES game, Oh my I was so wrong to thinking about that because it's pretty similiar with Ristar on Sega Genesis....

[@EvelynChodura]

Rayman was originally planned for the SNES :) and there is a Sega Saturn version of rayman 1 as well :)

[@Pokaroquai]

@@EvelynChodura Sorry for the late reply, But that's cool to know! Did the SNES version got cancelled? Because I do a research of it

[@IvanFranco120]

@@Pokaroquai It was canceled in favor of better hardware. There's an playable prototype ROM for the unreleased SNES version.

13:21 you can see the ‘Tings’ making up the code 1364 for the hidden minigame... why does every report online say you get this code after beating Mr Dark but nowhere makes any mention of the code being on this level made up of the ‘Tings’?

[@EvelynChodura]

ikr? well my theory is that you "officially" get handed the code by the game in the credits at the end.. hence why all online articles about this version of the game tell you you get it at the end of the game... the Tings were supposed to be an easteregg, which at the time the internet wasnt really a thing, and platforms on the internet were people could share their experience with games they played through... back then in the 90s it was rather common to buy actual books with game solutions or you had to talk with real people at school or somewhere else where you could share your experience and/or game solutions... so.. people had to figure it out themselves what these Ting numbers mean. Sure, if you look at the atari jaguar controller you see a number pad... maybe people thought if they pressed these numbers in-game that they would get a power up or more life (back then when the game was still new, this would have been a plausible thought, in my opinion anyways).. i myself wondered what it was about until i finished the game :) i wondered if it was some kind of cheat code, and i played lots of rayman games at that point haha the numbers 1364 could have also been referring to the year 1364 when for example the battle of cocherel in france took place (no i made that reason up.. but sometimes its interesting to look up random past years and see what was going on in the world... but a reference to a battle would have been almost fitting to the game, as you just beat the mosquito and you are on the way to beat the next one)... 1364 could be a postcode too... or maybe the PIN to ubisofts bank account... i hope you get the point, that this number could have been anything before you beaten the game... so you basically really just get the knowledge needed to crack the code at the end of the game.. when mr dark is beaten.

This is where Rayman all began.

[@BenM64]

The Jaguar version of Rayman would've been the definitive one…were it not for the game-breaking input lag. The MS-DOS version I grew up with had much snappier controls. (But at least the Jaguar version had better, more upbeat music!)

[@EvelynChodura]

I read a lot of comments about the music of the Jaguar version :D... well I do like the Jaguar's music for this game :) ...the controlls and physics for the version are weird compared to other versions, in my opinion... I grew up with the MS-DOS version also :)

[@TheAgradeneu]

REeally? There is ZERO Input lag when played on real Jag hardware.

[@rayfan9876]

Yeah, like +technology4617 said, the colours are completely fucked up here and you should definitely get a better upscaler. But otherwise, it's nice to see a 60FPS, otherwise pretty good quality recording of the Jaguar version! They're pretty much nonexistent.

[@EvelynChodura]

+Adsolution If you're going to pay for a better upscaler for us, go ahead. Until then, it's pointless for us to throw any more money at the problem than we did (20eur for a HDCVT HDV-8S), since the Jaguar is the only of our old consoles not supporting component output, and we'd like to avoid S-Video if possible. As for the colors being "fucked up", they're simply oversaturated because I (Bambooz) didn't have the needed resistors on hand for modifying the Atari RGB SCART cable in time. The image is much better (less oversaturation, contrast not set to "crush all the blacks!!!11") with a RGB Signal from a PS1. PS: KZbins re-encoding of uploaded material doesn't help either. There's a very noticeable quality loss compared to the 14GB file I uploaded. Trying to redownload this video from YT in 720p60, I end up with just a 5.4GB file.. what the hell..

[@rayfan9876]

+Evelyn Chickentalk This particular upscaler creates a distinct blueshift, which might also cause blues/violets to look oversaturated). I've had experience with it, Technology has experience with it, and all other KZbin videos using this upscaler have the issue. If there are oversaturation issues occurring with the Jaguar specifically, they can't be too prominent since the video, when I slotted it into a colour correction profile I made for this upscaler previously, looks more-or-less correct. And alright, fair enough. Just in case you're ever interested in getting a pretty cheap but good upscaler, check out the iScan VP30 (they're only around $100).

[@rockamuse617]

So... Not all Atari Jaguar games are bad eh?

[@justPLEASE_579]

How long did it take you to generally memorize where every cage is? Often when I do a playthru I admittedly use the cheat upon defeating Mr. Skops.

[@EvelynChodura]

i used to play the game a lot back then :).. in the beginning i needed to use some internet guides to help me playing this game through.. but after 5 times of playing the game i had all spots memorized... the only tricky part about this is that every rayman 1 version only has similar spots but not really the same spots where they hide the cages..then i stopped playing the game for a long time ..and i noticed in my most recent playthrough that i was not able to find them all.. i was considering to cheat my way to the final level... but then decided against it.. but well.. that's another story :)
