Hi. Thanks for this amazing video. Is it possible to use some of its parts? Me and my brother make videos about games stories and Rayman is my personally favorite game series and I would like to make video about him. Thank you in advance.

[@KatieAliceGamer]

Rayman was my first ever video game. My parents got me a PS2 for Christmas and my dad browsed around for video games that were suitable for a 6 year old- Rayman was one of them. I’ve been in love with the entire series ever since ☺️

[@zygoat2369]

Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends have an incredible art style that ensures they will remain timeless. Games like them, Wind Waker, Okami, Castle Crashers, Hollow Knight, and Cuphead prove how valuable good art direction can be in ensuring a game's longevity. Games that focus on realism might be more impressive looking in the short term, but they lose their luster quickly and become outdated as technology improves

Would have been nice to see you include spinoffs & mobile games even as a footnote to complete the documentary timeline

The wriggling roots are actually in the footage, but you actually have to look for them ;) Also in the original upload, i like how you put text at the bottom stating, “ I’m not going to show them here because of… KZbin. But you can look them up if you’re that curious”.

[@ReliableRhubarb]

Fun fact: The reason why I removed that line in this re-edit was because I kept getting comments asking if I could provide a link to a video that would more clearly show it. It drove me up the sodding wall! Thankfully (so far) that hasn't happened with this new upload.

[@septicduzzle]

Me and my mum played Rayman 2, though I never finished it, I had watched my mum finish the game, it truly was an amazing game. (I was still very young when I played)

[@CC.M]

I was never mad by the fact Ubisoft made more games or marketing for the Rabbids rather than for Rayman. Furthermore, I consider sometimes those characters should get better ideas to have great games like: go home or kingdom battle instead of being used as comedy relief. However, they shouldn't leave him behind because he deserves as much acknowledgement as the Rabbids do. Hopefully, we can see him again in future projects, such as: Sparks of hope.

It's been 10 years now since the Legends. We never saw a proper sequel outside mobile games, Michel Ancel retired from game developemnt amidst some weird controversy... But hey, at least Rayman is back! As a guest character in a Mario+Rabbids game, of all things. Oh well, that's something I guess.

The only word I can find to describe Rayman Legends is "Generous" it as so much high quality content and for having worked in the game industry I was always puzzled as to how they got to convince executives to put that much content in the game.

[@AbrahamLincoln_]

@@ReliableRhubarb I understand, thank you

[@artyie1172]

Sad how they carried 3d Rayman games, rayman 2 was well welcomed and loved for its innovative 3d style, Rayman 3 perfected it and took it to a new level wich was also well received by fans. So WHY did they abandonned that concept?? I take it that they took a "break" with mini games fun new concept rayman vs rabbids, but after that they went back to 2d wich was per your say , not THAT well received by fans. Good critics but bad selling, it shows that 2d rayman 1 style was niche and less tendance. They wanted to please Rayman 1 fans but "deceived" so many others. (I know I was lol, I love 3d and less 2d) and INSTEAD of bringing a new 3d raymans with new techonology they clung on that old 2d rayman style that was already not well received. You'd think they learned and went back on 3d rayman finally after that break? NO they abandonned it literally!! And now they are suprised they're not that much liked anymore. (tbh assassin's creed aside and yet even that they manage to mess it up over the years, I don't know them for much more)

@@phoenixdblack Exactly. I am a huge Rayman fan, but the Rabbit games and the recent ones just didn't catch me as much as Rayman 2 and 3. I want a modern version and badass of Rayman 3 with its powerups and such, with the elements of Rayman 2 mixed in. Please

Raving Rabbits is just a joke. Rayman 3 was cool, had awesome graphics, cool ideas, and great fights, parkours, and puzzles, and don't get me started on the awesome moments and cool cutscenes in Rayman 2. Raving Rabbits is just a big joke.

[@777superlightwater]

Yup

[@quillsftw]

Rayman 2 was a masterpiece. Easily one of my favorite games ever. I wish other versions kept the weird language the N64 version had instead, though. If Ubisoft made another 3D Rayman like the 2nd game, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

[@phoenixdblack]

I preferred Rayman 3, but I agree that we need a new 3D Rayman

[@quillsftw]

You’re probably the first person I’ve seen who prefers 3 over 2. But all the power to ya. Yeah we need a new 3D Rayman.

[@doko3000]

I never actually played 3, so 2 (The Great Escape) was my only contact with 3D Rayman games. It's lovely, I still have the soundtrack in my playlists and listen to it from time to time (great instrumental soundtrack to do art things to). The universe of Rayman 2 is awesome, full of magic and cool tech (the robot pirates), and in the game itself the sense of adventure is so fun.

[@viktorthevictor6240]

@@quillsftw It's been a _while_ since I played either of them, but I strongly remember being of the opinion that Rayman 3 expanded and improved on pretty much everything we got in Rayman 2. Now, I'm definitely biased, because 3 is one of the first games I've ever played, but I think it had better and more diverse worlds, better music, better visuals (obviously) but also it just felt like a natural evolution of the art style. The most important thing in the list is definitely the combat. The enemies are a lot more interesting and life-like, and fighting them is more fun. The way they spread out and all attack you at the same time, and that they all have different attacks and ways to defeat them. The bosses are also more creative.

[@quillsftw]

@@viktorthevictor6240 i think my issue with 3 was the power ups all being on a timer which made most of the game a mini time trial. And some of the power ups were permanent abilities in 2 like the swing. It made 2 feel more fluid where 3 felt more like it was divided into sections. The main villain (Andre) was more annoying as a character as well. With R2 I liked the darker story and style as well as the combat. Backtracking back to the cave of bad dreams sticks in my head and i loved it. 2 was significantly more difficult halfway through the game but I’m not using that as an argument for or against it, just a comparison. I could be biased as well for 2 was the first one I played.

One other intresting fact is that Silent Hill used the fog because of hardware limits not to make it scarier.
