Something people don't talk about with the PS1 version of the game is how the developers on it chose to make characters animate at a lesser framerate, creating this very unique style to that version of the game that worked hugely in its favor for its presentation with other effects-work.
The art style is so strong and well made that the ps1/n64 version looks just as good as the ps2 one.
Too Bad Both These Versions aren't on Ps Plus Premium
Because PS2 is remastered version.
It was a thing before modern gaming industries made into fast cash grab. Like Ubi with AC3 and Rockstar with LA Noire.
It’s being played on an emulator. Play this on original hardware and it doesn’t look nearly as good. I own it on PS1.
@@xXSilentAgent47XxIt’s not really a remaster, it’s more of an expanded port. The Dreamcast and PC versions actually run better
@@AB_883 The PS2 one is also being played on an emulator.
As hilariously crippled as the PS1 version is compared to N64/PC/Dreamcast/PS2, the art style of Rayman 2 is so charming it holds up marvelously on all platforms.
Indeed, I remember downloading the game on both my psvita and ps3, and never once did I feel like it looked bad.
For real, someone stole all the geometry on the ps1 version
@@a.liguria2698 you played it on the vita? how did you assign your buttons? i kept accidentally touching the back touchpad and that ruined it for me
@@Kontekst
Oh the control scheme was a pain indeed. I remember assigning the R2 / L2 buttons on the touchscreen and it still felt bad...
I only downloaded it on the psvita because of the portability...
@@a.liguria2698 same for me. i wanted to replay it and thought it would be perfect on the go. after some struggle getting it to run on my computer, i discovered the 3DS version. it is pretty low resolution but it's pretty much how i remember the PC version and 3D effect adds a lot of immersion

Ah so the PS2 version has more slaves. Ubisoft harnessed the true power of the Emotion Engine for something only next gen hardware could pull off.
Lol
I'm dying over here lmao
40 is just from cut contents from PS1 on PS2 version.
Hehe. Though in all seriousness, they probably did that because the narrator reads the slave count aloud. So they used a solid number to match the VA. The other versions have a count that continually ticks upward by comparison.
@@EclesysGalaxy
lol That's what the slaves said
Proud my country (France) created the Rayman series. Michel Ancel really was a precious creator.
Actor i read at start XD
Wow I never knew it was made in France now I know why it had amazing 50hz conversations :D
@@HollowRick It was created by Michel Ancel under Ubisoft. Monsieur Ancel received la legión d'honneur for hid contribution to the video game Industry (not only through Rayman but also other works like Beyond Good'n'Evil ; he was probably Ubisoft's most precious creator). The same day, Frédérick Raynal also received La legión d'honneur for creating Alone in the Dark (1992), the first modern Survival-horror game ever made and a major influence for Resident Evil (1996). Fun fact: Mr Raynal used to live near my hometown.
Ubisoft were once a great company (unfortunately they're now hot garbage) what other notable games did France make? I'm sure there's a few
FURI
They both look so good that I can't even remember which version I played as a kid
That's my favorite Rayman game,no matter wich version i'm playing. I just miss Rayman so much
I grew up with Revolution. It was amazing and I have replayed it (once I beat it at age 20) more than 8 times to completion. The original looks so amazing I am about to boot up the emulator and play the ROM. I especially cannot wait to see how different the play style is
The PS1 one has one of the best PS1 graphics I've seen tbh
That first shot is WAY more atmospheric originally.
I love how Razorbeard randomly obtained 40 slaves between the releases of these games
I like the ps2 version for the graphic’s details, textures and levels
But i love the psX version, was very scary with more darkness colors
i love how a little more shocked rayman looks in the ps2 vers
so weird to hear the US voices on there, i always remembered the gibberish from when i played it
Raymanian
Yes, me too, I've never heard them speak English and just a bunch of lines that I can't understand at all, just the subtitles that make it clear.
Before things like the uncharted remastered this game got remastered
Don't know why, but for me PSX is the best one. It has a darker tone (no sky/horizon graphics) that make it look scarier... I go with it 🖤
Finally someone thinks just like me :D
Same for meeeee!
So wholesome seeing Rayman hug Globox
the graphic in the pc version i played in 1999/2000 was the same as ps2
The PC version's visuals are comparable to the Dreamcast version (though there were a few cuts to the effects such as lighting, particles etc). The PS2 version's visuals are significantly different and more advanced than any of the others. Polygon counts are much higher, and environments are far less blocky and have greater detail as a result. Lighting was also heavily enhanced, with new shadow effects.
I think the PS2 version was the definitive version
I think Polokus voice actor PS1 is more divine should used him in Rayman 2 Revolution
honestly the art direction for rayman 2: the great escape looks way better than for rayman 2: revolution. i prefer it
the ps1 version is surprisingly good looking.
that said this was an early ps2 game
I love the PS2 type of Rayman 2 as it's all fixed and an improvement
The artstyle and visuals are so great that U don't need CRT to estimate it
I noticed that compared to the PS1 version, the PS2 port has much more of a graphical enhancement.
PS2 version is actually a remake not a port. Has a open world hub instead of a world map, has better graphics and mostly better voice acting
@@dragoon2334 (better voice acting in the sense that it has voice acting)
@@MyScorpion42 The PS1 version also has actual voice acting as well, so i'm assuming that's the point being made. The PS2's VA was rerecorded however and is better than the PS1 VA. PS2 also has the option to set the voices back too the old gibberish as well too.
Despite the new hub world, bosses and enhanced visuals though, the PS2 version is still sort of closer to the "other" versions of Rayman 2 than the PS1 version. PS1 has a ton of missing levels, some levels heavily edited or abbreviated or even combined together. So a lot of the time, it's almost its own version of the game in that sense. The PS2 version does mostly adapt the same level design as N64/DC/PC on the other hand. Even though again there are a lot of visual enhancements and even a few minor changes here and there.
Obviously it looks better on PS2 but I'm surprised at how well the PS1 version holds up.
the psone version is not that bad though... it was pretty impressive for the era
love voice actor more on ps 1.. can you please do for Tintin android vs ps3 next 🙏🏻
Both versions have the same voice actor, David Gasman, just a different take. Although, I do agree that the direction was *way* better in the PlayStation dub, although I did grow up with it, so it could be bias... nah, doubt it, the PlayStation 2 dub has little emotion.
In PS1 dialogues is better sync
Has
I don't like the PS2 voice acting
Yeah, I don't know what happened with the Revolution dub. Rayman has the same voice actor in both versions, but the Revolution dub just seems to lack the emotion of the PS1 dub. And the voice of the Teensies in Revolution is so... off... Though, Jano's Revolution voice definitely fits him better than the PS1 version, even if I have a soft spot for PS1 Jano.
Area 51 PS1 vs. PS2
Does anyone know where I can hear this theme? 2:02
In rayman 2 gameq
I grew up with Rayman 2 The great Escape and Revolution felt like I fewer dream to me
Ps2 version went right to the tutorials 😂
Ps2 wins fatality
No shlt, sherlock
mind = blown
Dumb4ss
the globox´s babies are so cute when it cries
Na

PS1 grainy look makes its games very good looking IMO.
Better ports that the 3DS version or Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon's rereleases on PS4 and Xbox One.
PS1 is my favorite version.
The Rayman model of the PS2 always freaked me out.
But it's by far the worst version of the game. Half of it is missing.
@@guillemmoreno5522 It has a different final boss fight from all the others though.
@@virgogaming6488 Still the worst lol
@@sephirovic1074u is the worst
@@thecubixkingshawn Why are you so offended by a random youtube comment about a video game? lol
Chill, dude.
The great escape. One day.
Shame the ps2 and ps1 versions dont have the slave count increase in size. Could have been pretty funny with the voicing in the ps2 version.
Dreamcast or 3ds tbh
Classic 🐸
Classic 🐸
honestly the ps1 version look outstanding for its era
The PlayStation version of Rayman 2 has a lot of content missing and some levels were cut out entirely.
Yeah I prefer ps1, don’t try tell me what was cut because I don’t give a shit
Hell yeah!
Playstation 1 or emulator?
Ironic question...
Rayman 2 was on the PS2?
even the PS1 version had voice acting??
i played it on PC as a kid and they all spoke gibberish or were subtitles only.
couldnt get it to run earlier, so i tried emulating the PS2 version and the german voice acting was ATROCIOUS. and rayman revolution was too different from my childhood memories, so i ended up getting it on my 3DS, which is a port of the dreamcast version - and pretty much how i remember it. plus this game really benefits from the 3D screen.
edit: it also didn't run smoothly on the 3DS until i found out that you can make all old 3DS games benefit from the new 3DS faster hardware if you have a custom firmware installed
The dreamcast version is the best
yeah I remember them speaking "Banjonese" in the original plus the warp icon was the dreamcast symbol all across the systems lol!
Yes
@Nutzer XYZ the dreamcast version runs at 60fps.
Do you swear? So are the songs on the PC version the same as on the Playstation 2? If so, even better! 😃
I mean, PS2 definitely looks better.
But the PS1 version has way - and when I say way, I mean waaaaay - better voice acting.
Don't know what happened in the PS2 version or why they did a retake at all. PS1 voice acting is so fitting to the whole Rayman style and atmosphere (more so imo than the Raymanian gibberish).
Even with all the technical downsides, you could argue that the PS1 version is the best one because of the voice acting and music alone.
3:35 Also the humor just works the best in the PS1 version. The voice acting, audio mixing, and different animation style of PS1 just fits Rayman far better.
Una pregunta no vende disco de ps2 de rayman pero pirata ya que el 2 es uno de mis favoritos y mas por el diseño de rayman pero se rayo el disco que tenia y ahora tengo rayman 3 y no me gusta sobretodo su diseño
Dreamcast Wins!!!
Rayman 2 Revolution is better it's open world plus FPS drops are overblown especially on PS2
@@RobertK1993I mean, comparing DC and PS2 is a tough one. DC is a port, while Revolution is a remake. Revolution is fine as a remake on its own, but feels bloated when compared to the other versions, while DC is the definitive edition in Michel Ancel's opinion, making it a sort of retroactive director's cut.
Be nice if these comparisons were on real hardware and not through emulators so people could actually see the difference properly. Watch people buy the PS1 version only to be severely disappointed after what they saw in this video.
Hi, this is truly one of the best 3D platformers of all time. I have played PS1 and N64 versions so many times,. I tried to like Rayman 3, but I could not. It took another direction, with ugly camera controls, restricted view that induces headaches, adult inappropriate humor for kids, bad voice acting, very disappointing game at all.
PS2 version IMO is very bad, almost the same of PS1.
I still think PS1 is better than Revolution. Revolution just feels bloated, while PS1 may be missing some content. It's nice though that they let you switch between human and Raymanian languages in Revolution, even if its English dub is lacking the emotion of the PS1 dub.
Glowbox"are you ok Rayman" Rayman"not really...I feel weak and my powers have disappeared" Glowbox"oh...how did your powers disappear"? Rayman"I sold them for drugs" Glowbox"..........what"? Rayman"yeah...drugs ok"
I don’t like revolution, the story isn’t the same… graphics are nice but they layout of the story is different and ps1 is better best version
It’s not surprising that the PS2 version leaves the PS1 version in the dust. I would say the N64 version is also better. I think the game was clearly made for 64/128 bit consoles in mind.
The PS1 version was actually the "original" one, it's the one that started development first at least and the unlockable 2D demo you can get is the earliest form of what would become Rayman 2. However, the original core Rayman 2 team moved onto the N64/PC version, while the PS1 version was handed off to a different team, Ubisoft Shanghai. They weren't kept entirely up to date with the latest code from the other versions however, so PS1 is based on an older variant of the code and a lot of quick and dirty adaptations had to be made to get it into a completed state. While it would obviously have been a visually lesser version of the game regardless, it's likely that it could have been made to be closer to the other versions with some extra time and effort. Instead, a lot of levels were cut, made shorter with areas missing or even some of them were combined together (like Whale Bay and the Water/Ice Sanctuary).
