Let’s take a break from Nintendo’s level design - and look at how Ubisoft explored a single mechanic through an entire world’s worth of levels in Rayman Legends.

I thought it was a fun Easter egg, but I can see how that would have been annoying to a first time player.

Rayman Origins and Legends are two of my favorite platformers, hands down. But also, two of my favorite games. No other game has kept me so consistently entertained, and never frustrated. Playing with my Brother and Sister, every time we died we only found ourselves laughing and being more entertained than if we rushed through the levels. In fact, more often than not we were sabotaging one another just for the heck of it.

Rayman Legends is great. I never noticed that the same mechanics are mixed in throughout entire worlds, that's a really cool concept! Personally, I'll always remember the last part of Infiltration Station with the lasers. The way the fluid movement gels with the stunning animation makes weaving in and out of the lasers incredibly satisfying. I would always try and pull off sweet flips and dives just to make it that much cooler.

Super Meat Boy is probably the most obvious example of this design philosophy. Glad to see a game that's not talked about as much get some attention.
@321cheeseman
@321cheeseman 6 жыл бұрын
I don't think Super Meat Boy is all that analogous. In Mario or Rayman or Donkey Kong Country, the levels are long enough to deeply explore one or multiple mechanics, while Super Meat Boy levels are a single screen and usually test player competence on only one or two twists on world mechanics. With the huge difference in level length, an entire Super Meat Boy world is comparable to a single level in a more typical platformer, albeit with much more precision demanded and much more dying as a result. Compare to Celeste, which is basically the same as Super Meat Boy in structure except that the individual single screen challenges are linked together into one cohesive level.
@Eszik3
@Eszik3 6 жыл бұрын
The level design in Celeste and Super Meat Boy are pretty different as well. Celeste screens are always about going from one corner of the screen to another, which means most of the screens are very "linear". On the other hand, Meat Boy levels can end anywhere, which means they often loop around themselves, ask you to backtrack or explore different sections. I think The End is Nigh's design is a lot closer to Celeste's.

In defense of new mechanics being thrown in on the music levels, the point of them is to make you focus and act based on the rhythm, so while you may not know specifically what to do, your actions are constrained. Think Warioware, which similarly throws nonsense at you that you can figure out quickly because your controls are so limited. I think the point is to force some of that discovery at a rapid pace, which requires new mechanics to be introduced. That's not to say that it's handled perfectly here, but I don't think the idea, itself, is bad.

Nah, there's no defense of them suddenly throwing purple enemies you don't want to touch that look awfully close to purple collectibles you do want to touch in the middle/end of a very fast moving level that sends you back to the very beginning when you inevitably screw up and die to the purple enemy you'd never seen before because it looked like a collectible. I can't stress it enough: anyone trying to defend that bullshit can go suck a fat one.

4:41 - Really appreciate you taking the time to call out a huge blunder like that one. That level was moving so fast that my first time through I just thought they were the purple collectibles. I was pretty pissed off when I touched one and died. That is some bad level/game design mixed in with an otherwise really well done game. I mean, this game is otherwise so good that you could tell me that it's not a Ubisoft game and I would immediately believe you. This game is too good, too pure, too varied to be a game by Ubisoft, a company that otherwise only craps out one game with different skins. Even The Crew, which was supposed to be a driving game, still managed to be the bog-standard Ubisoft open world game that they make for every franchise. Every franchise except Rayman, apparently. Although that's also probably the reason we haven't seen a Rayman game since Rayman Legends - Ubisoft doesn't know what to do if they can't make it a generic open world game.
@blondbraid7986
@blondbraid7986 6 жыл бұрын
Yes, I can't understand this obsession with making open world games, instead of an experience with good pacing and difficulty curve, you just spend most of the time aimlessly wandering around or chasing a marker on a mini-map instead of having fun. I'd much prefer being automatically taken to the next mission rather than having to spend 15 minutes driving through a city or running through a forest whenever I want to reach a fun place in the game. Not everyone has the time to spend 20 hours a day on video games and some of us'd rather just cut to the chase and get to the good stuff instead of having to collect 10 twigs and spend 10 minutes flipping through menus for crafting arrows before we can shoot things.

Another thing I love about Rayman Origins and Legends is the clever world building that also comes with sticking a game mechanic for the longer parts of a world. It makes every place you visit feel all the more alive. Like there are actually creatures that inhabit these excotic landscapes, rather than just being a bunch of moving platforms with conveniently placed enemies on them.

Has anyone ever told you how -good- *great* you are at what you do? You are certainly one of the most undeservedly underrated creators on KZbin. Keep up your work!

I should probably note that several of the mechanics in the music levels are more fleshed out in Origins, like the swordfish in Gloo Gloo is in Angsty Abyss and the snake in Mariachi Madness is in Desert of Didgeridoos

So happy that you decided to talk about Rayman Legends. It's tied for best 2d platformer of the last decade with Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze imho. Both are criminally underappreaciated.

Can I just say: the music picks are wonderful. Especially when you used Mariachi Madness's remake of Eye of the Tiger- also used in Rocky, during the training sequence. While you talk about how the game has been training you. Beautiful!

I feel like I've been a backer forever, and I gotta say, I missed this. There was so much Nintendo that it feels nice to be back to games in general. And just something about this video feels reminiscent of some of the older videos. Good stuff, Mark.

Thanks for doing a video for one of my favorite 2D platformers! It’s worth mentioning that part of the reason 20,000 Lums is so enjoyable are the swimming controls. Rayman moves like a fish as he swims, making it a joy. If you would have told me beforehand “the next world is underwater...and it’s stealth based” I would have rolled my eyes but the great design and controls make it a highlight.

Absolutely one of the most (pleasantly) surprising games to come out at the start of a new console generation. It's unbelievable how big Rayman Legends is, and how good it tends to be throughout. Nice change of pace to talk about this style of design. Look forward to whatever random tidbit you decide to cover next (as always ;P )~

a bit off topic but i would kill for a new UbiArt Framework powered game. When Ubisoft Montpelier and Montreal made Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, Child of Light, and Valiant Hearts: The Great War back to back, it was the highest Ubisoft moment for me. All 4 games are masterpiece in visual, art direction, gameplay, and in case of Valiant Hearts, heart breaking story. I really hope Ubisoft won't waste this amazing engine just on average Rayman mobile game, Rayman Adventures.

Exactly! To me, those beautiful hand-drawn visuals that looked like paintings brought to life was more awe inspiring than all those "realistic" brown landscapes in all their open world games put together. I think it's a damn shame that 90% of all 2D games coming out today are generic pixel-art, i'd love to see more games like Rayman Legends or Valiant hearts.
