  • A community member recently got in contact with an animator of the now defunct game studio "Phoenix Interactive/Phoenix Studio" (not to be confused with Phoenix Interactive Entertainment), the studio that worked on the original Rayman 4 prototype. The animator was nice enough to provide us with some animation tests that they worked on for the project. The animations are compiled in this video.
    Music was added to the video for cocktail_test.AVI, Rayman_climb-walk.avi and the clips afterwards.

    After Ubisoft decided to rebrand Raving Rabbids into a party game, they should’ve called back this studio and said “Hey uhh…Remember how we said we already had a team working on a Rayman 3D platformer title? Yeah, well there’s been a change of plans and we’d like for you guys to pick up where you last left off on your Rayman project, sound good?”

    Shows us that we would have more of Rayman 3 in overall tone which I honestly have no problem with since the mix of humor and fantasy adventure was fine in that one. Some of the worlds in there were absolutely breathtaking, had sense of ancient history to them.

  • @eliottdeletraz97
    @eliottdeletraz97 Рік тому +2

    i want to say thanks to the guy who give us some animations from this cancelled 4th game.
    I will give my personal opinions about each animations :
    0:00 "Boing" : This animation of rayman getting ejected by a trap can be seen as a cut-scene to introduce a new world (probably the castle of dark rayman), a bonus clip or even for a commercial.
    0:11 "Cado" : Like the "boing" animation, this one can be seen as a cut-scene (probably the cake world), a bonus clip, or a commercial.
    0:26 "Cocktail" : This animation is surely used as a commercial or an introduction for rayman. it shows that this character is not serious and very lazy.
    0:40 "gaffe" : this is the continuing of the "cocktail" animation. In this one, it shows that even if rayman is a hero, he can be goofy, dumb and particularly clumsy.
    0:57 "RTC" : This animation is surely used as a cut-scene before a confrontation with a boss or before beginning a level.
    1:01, 1:04, 1:10 "actions : these animations are a preview of the movement of the character for special moments like climbing, walking on the ceiling and fighting.
    1:17 "Rayman into pieces" : This is probably used for a "standing animation" (in some games, the character is making some different actions when the player don't make him move. For example, in bad furr day, when the character stand still too long, he pull out a gameboy and playing until the player ask him to move) or used for the "game over".
    1:25 "Rayman gonfle" : A pretty strange animation. This could be used as a capacity for a level or as a restart animation. I'm pretty sure some people with inflation fetish will love this one.

    Sadly Rayman 4 may indeed be lost to time because Ubisoft have waited too long between the last game that younger gamers aren't going to know the franchise or previous games at all and thus may not be interested in owning it, which means no money and us old school fans have probably washed our hands in effect and look at it as a 'what could've been thing now'.
