Oh, no I didn't know that. Have you got a picture showing that render from the magazine? That sounds quite interesting! So that's the textures I found with the same names as Ssssam?
I never saw him as an enemy in the game really. More along the line of the Guardians who just have their duty of protecting a valuable item. Jano never actually put Rayman in any real danger as the Cave of Bad Dreams appears to be a sort of hallucination Rayman experiences in order to make the decision near the end of to chose the treasure or elixir.
I doubt he would have appeared in the final boss, but I think you as a player would have seen the dialog boxes of all your allies encouraging you. But yeah, I get what you mean, and I think ti would have been great to have all character return at the end for the finale.
2:30 that would have been cool to have all the characters rallying you during the final boss. even the cave of bad dreams guy is saying he'll make a statue of you lmao. it would have been good for razorbeard to taunt you more as well. also i wonder what 'the dream team' option would have been in the cave of bad dreams
1:43-They probably changed Sam to being fully organic to stick with the whole theme of ''Robots and metal things are evil in this game'' 2:39-''Im not afraid of you'' is actually used in the game. Also the ''What i'm made of quote''......dammit Razorbeard this isn't Sonic Heroes! 3:06-The sign about Ly was clearly supposed to be used in the Fairy Glade. The piranha farm one was probably going to be used in the area of a level where there's piranha infested water. The free dumping and elite troop ones are used in the game. 3:39-''No not the whip!'' Jesus! Either that gonna be used in a Razorbeard cutscene where Razorbeard decides to have Spyglass(the lackey pirate)whipped as punishment or it gonna was be used at the start when we see all the prisoners in cages? 3:48-So Polokus wasn't originally the one to destroy all the pirates that weren't on the ship? 4:07-Robo Rats would've been an interesting concept and enemy to fight, too bad there's no concept art or unused models of them. 4:13-The demo names for the 2nd and 3rd sanctuaries sound better and more logical than in the final game.
I'd say the reason that there are no models of "Robo Rats" is that it's just a mistranslation of the phrase "les robots rôdent", in which "rôdent" is a verb, but happens to be spelled almost the same as an English noun. Obviously they caught that before release, unlike some of the subtler mistranslations…
Yeah, realized that afterwards (they appear in all versions, except maybe the PS1 version - can't remember since that one was pretty different). On desktop you can see the annotations I put up there.
@@RayCarrot The 'Free Dumping'' isn't in the PS1 version because it's found in the beach part of the Sanctuary Of Water And Ice which is completely absent on PS1. They merged the level with Whale Bay on that version
I thought it'd be nice to have all this information gathered in one place. Most if it can be found spred out over the internet already, so most know a few things about what I showed.
There's not enough known unused content for Rayman 3 for it to be worth making an entire video. If more is discovered I'll most likely make a video for Rayman 3 as well :)
RayCarrot it'd be nice if you made ome on Rayman 3 but most of the stuff is unused textures from the HD version which show like more than 10 scrapped creatures like snails, crows and a lot of other weird things, but not a lot of models..
Wow, too many impressions, mate :D Nice collections of stuff that's mostly new to me! I'd pay €100,- for a remastered version of Rayman 2 with hand-drawn graphics like these @ 1:56 :) Wow!
5:08 lol Rayman looks so derpy xD... I want to comment on everything I saw in the video o.o.. but this would take all the time I need for my livestream now xD... I'll comment later :)...so beware of a huge comment :P... but one thing is sure: this video is awesome! :D and all the stuff you showed! ^^
Thanks! I'm looking forward to your huge comment then :) There ended up being a lot of things I showed here which is why it took so long making the video.
okidoki... hopefully youtube won't fail for such a long comment x3.. 1.) I've once heared about the read sphere but I never saw it until this video o.o.. I'm wondering if it would have just replaced the yellow/golden sphere or if you would have need to find 3 spheres everytime you to unlock the gates 2.) the antitoons: it's so interesting that the files of the antitoons are in the game... I'm wondering if they would have take place in the PC version too...or if they are just in every version but you would have to hack into the game like you did, to find the textures :O... like the game just have to know which texture it has to use at each time by any code in the coding for each version...like the textures for the sea-monster thing that you can actually see in the marshes of awakening in Rayman Revolution (the textures you also showed in this video 00:39)...what keeps me wondering, ever since I've played Ray2PS1 is if there are textures of the Electoons as well... and instead of freeing the little helpers and creatures, you would've helped little electoons o.o... I mean..maybe that would have made any sense since everything started as 2D platformer similar to Ray1, doesn't it?..at least it makes sense in my mind right now xD 3.) well.. the textures for the HUD... idk what to comment about them... they look cute kinda xD but from what I saw of these counter-things (air- and health-bar) I'm kinda glad they didn't made it into the final game...especially the air-bar was very fast in the promo-video O_q... 4.) 0:57 the Jano looks like a snarling cat! XD and about the globox babies... I really NEVER understood why you see Globox in the final game when the globox babies are talking! O_O...I really whished the icon for the globox babies would have made it into the final game! :O.. it would've been less confusing for little-4-year-old-me :B 5.) arrow keys... I didn't see them before o.o but okay... they are just arrow keys :V...I love how each of them has screws x3 such a cute little detail :3 6.) the font looks marvelous! °o°... 7.) the metallic-textures and ssssam's textures... well.. I was surprised when I read some other comments here (one comment was referring to a metallic-version of ssssam?! O_O... I never saw that either! O_O... but the metallic-textures reminds me of the robot-dinosaur from the Ray2PS1 2D playable demo which you can unlock ! :O... and of this one metallic enemy in the same demo..with this gun...you know what I mean? :O... I think I'll do my next comment about the artworks! xD.. I don't want youtube to say that my comments are too long D:.. so sorry for spamming kinda :V
okidoki.. talking about the artworks xD the pictures are well known..I think I also saw the tomb of the ancients-picture you showed there...but I don't know where I saw it before...isn't it an loading-screen of a version of ray2 already? O.o..or is there a similar picture as loading screen for the tomb of the ancients? o.o... aaahhh! D:.. this video makes me wanna play Ray2 again xD okay...and because it's not that much what I have to say/ask about the artworks..here we go about my comments for the texts :P hmm.. I'm wondering if Razorbeard or Grolgoth (oh duck, did I write the name correctly? o.o) was always meant to be the final boss...I mean.. in which way he is a "liar"?.. and now I know what you mean by Jano as someone who encouraged Rayman at the very end.. by the line about the gold statue thing... *but* what if Jano was the final boss himself? :O I mean, Razorbeard says things while the boss fight...so... that Jano is the "dirty liar" you have to face several times...and at the end he kinda gives up...and "encourages" Rayman by telling him if he would win he would gain all of Jano's gold...hmm...and the pirates were some secondary characters/enemies... and the someone who "taught him well" could be either Ly or Jano... but if Ly was a villain before..hmm... or maybe Murfy? O_o.. I mean.. he tells Rayman about everything he has to know... or well as I assumed: Jano... like Rayman had to face him several times... maybe the first time in the Cave of Bad Dreams, where Rayman had to decide rather to get the gold or to help his friend Clark..you could also see this as a lesson... maybe the third option you showed would've unlocked a new cutscene (like the one we know when you want to take the treasure)...it was a lesson for rayman: if he would take the treasure he would be too selfish...and Calrk (and I guess everyone else) would die o.o..I think you could count that as a lesson he taught Rayman :V... "we'll be dancing to bring you luck" sounds like the globox family xD like the rain-dance..just..ehm.. a luck-dance? :D :3 the "next page" of texts you assumed to be spoken by Razorbeard during the final battle: what if my theory was true in some way, and Jano was the final boss, he could be schizophrenic...I mean.. that would explain the Rayman Origins' Bubble Dreamer's background-story we talked about some days ago... that Jano is his nightmare-version...sounds schizophrenic to me to have multiple personalities :V..maybe that's why he is called a "dirty liar" before...I mean.. after all Rayman is pretty young in this game (at least I think so xD) so you are young (maybe a child) or you (the player himself) is a child...and you/Rayman sees this character who pretends to be good on the one day but on the next day you see the bad side of this person... you would think he pretends to be good..so pretending could be "lying" for a kid, couldn't it? o.o or it is actually lying in some way... and the line about Ly: I said before that Ly was ment to be a villain... at least I read this somewhere...maybe she turned from a villain to a hero, so that Rayman would've had a reason to say goodbye to Ly.. or the story about LyXRayman ( you know... the lovestory between Rayman and Ly)...as we could assume by taking a look at the artworks you showed before! :3...or both optiones combined!xD that she was a villain but she turned into a hero and then they fell in love :OOOOO *CUTE! °w°* x3 (wow I already wrote a lot...and I'm at 03:00 O_Q) I'll start the next comment :P
03:21 I guess you mean *Cutscene ? :O hmm... okay the text from 03:35 seems to be from razorbeard this "if he will find the 4th mask"-line...but what if Jano and Razorbeard both are boss-fights ...I mean.. they are actually boss-fights xD... but I mean so close to the end :B...*what if* Jano was really the final-final-boss-fight and Razorbeard was just the first-final-boss-fight? xD... my theory could still be as true as a theory could be xD... what if everything was just a dream? I know he wakes up after the cave of bad dreams...but you can dream that you wake up in your dream... I just had this last night xD... dream-ception xP about the "Robo-Rats"-thing... rats (so the animals) are varmints...and you could use the term to insult someone..I don't think that the Robo-Pirates were Robo-Rats before ....I think it's just to offend the pirates :B about the changed names 04:13 : in strategy guides you said? O_O... I guess only in English versions.. because I didn't notice any differences in my German strategy guid :O :B and that they swapped the names of Umber and Foutch is pretty interesting in my opinion :O... morbide_tst could either be a Tomb of the Ancients test level or just a test-level were you are weak or just not strong..at least it means something like this in German "morbid" is an old German-word for weak, very ill or almost dead.. and before I'll write about my thoughts about the Tomb of the Ancients secrets you showed, I'll do a short break xD... I mean.. how long am I commentating now? feels like almost 2 hours O_q
I think I'll respond to each comment one by one :P And no problem about spamming or anything, I love reading long comments as well :D 1) That's what I've been wondering as well... Was there ever going to be a puzzle needing 3 spheres or was it just meant to replace another one? Maybe it was just there for testing? 2) Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if they were actually meant to appear in the original PC version but didn't for some reason and then when it was ported to the PS1 the new developers found them in the files and decided to use it. Regarding electoons that would have been interesting actually... It's so random that in most versions you just free Lums from the cages :/ I like how in the PS1 and the PS2 versions you actually free creatures and spirits rather than just... Lums. 3) I agree, they feel more like they'd fit the first game rather than Rayman 2. 4) That's always confused me as well... I always thought it was because they didn't bother making a baby Globox icon for just that cutscene, but then I found it in the files... So, why was it never used? :O It seemed to fit very well when I replaced the textures... It wasn't until the PS2 version I believe that they fixed that, and then they even created a new icon wit one baby Globox rather than 3... 5) Yeah, not much to say really about the arrow keys. I also appreciate the details added. Too bad they never got used, though I hate it when games tell you to "use the arrow keys to move" etc. I mean, that's so obvious :P 6) I also like the old font, but I think the newer one is easier to read. I fee like this old one would be a bit distracting in long sentences. I could maybe try replacing the new on with this old one some day... 7) Hm, I don't remember much from the bonus level in the PS1 version, but if it's similar to an enemy there it'd be very interesting! I've always been very curious on how the 2D Rayman 2 was going to be like...
5:50 too bad these builds will never be found. This probably wasn’t developed on a SGI workstation so we’ll never even be able to find machines with the code for the game/Beta builds
There might have been some old N64 beta cartridges they printed to show to the press which might be found, but the chances are slim. But hey, a Rayman SNES prototype build was found recently, so who knows?
Det verkar som att UbiSoft aldrig någonsin släppte den tidigare versionen av Rayman 2 The Great Escape. Den såg väldigt annorlunda ut en själva originalspelet som släpptes ut 1999. Lumsen och dem lumsen som Rayman svingar sig i såg lite ut som det gjorde i PSX versionen i den tidigare versionen. Den tidigare versionen släpptes dock aldrig! Jag har försökt att se om det går och få tag i den, men det verkar som om det inte går att göra det, har inte heller sätt videos när någon spelar det, privat alltså.
Nej den tidiga versionen av spelet har tyvärr aldrig blivit uppladdad någonstans. PS1 versionen är baserad på en tidigare version som är varför den har samma lummar etc. Det finns några demon och prototyper, men de är alla av den nästan färdiga versionen, så väldigt få skillnader.
@@RayCarrot UbiSoft gjorde, producerade och släppte ut det där spelet Tonic Trouble som är relaterat till Rayman 2 The Great Escape. Tonic Trouble finns också både som en tidig version och självaste originalspelet. Däremot finns den tidigare "Beta-versionen" av Tonic Trouble utsläppt till skillnad från den tidigare versionen av Rayman 2 The Great Escape som aldrig någonsin blev utsläppt och går inte alls att få tag på över huvud taget. Den tidigare versionen (Beta-versionen) av Tonic Trouble finns och går att få tag i.
Who is Eig? He doesn't do anything much in the Dreamcast port. I think he has more in PS2 but that is a remake. There is some prototype footage that he is in. Did they not have a enough time?
RayCarrot i find it so interesting that those lums seen is the unused was reused in the ps1 version, it appears the ps1 version is probably the most closest version to the beta, heck it wouldnt suprise me if they took te beta engine and just moved around levels a bit
The PS1 version may have been in development a while, so they only had the early beta to go by when trying to make it run on the PS1. As the PC and N64 versions started coming together and they noticed how different it was they may have been more willing to add new content, such as dialogue, to better fit the beta elements. That's however only a guess. Maybe they simply used these beta elements since they were lower quality and would more easily work on the PS1.
According Michel Ancel himself, Rayman 2 began development on the Dreamcast. It was hen switched over to the N64 which made him sad since the textures needed to be downgraded. He said he was happy when a Dreamcast port was finally made on which they could reuse all the old high quality textures. Also, the PS1 version was made by a completely different team, so I highly doubt it began development there. Well, unless Michel Ancel wasn't at all the creator of the game and he just was responsible for the first released version, which seems rather odd.
Not really rushed, but near the end of the development I think they started running out of time as some things which never made it into the game was added in later ports, such as the Dreamcast, PS1 and PS2 versions.
No, this is the order: PC/N64 - Dreamcast - PS1 - PS2 - DS - iPhone - 3DS So the PC version, along with the N64 version, was the original one. The Dreamcast version is like the PC version but with a lot of the cut content added.
Den första är The Walk of Power och den andra The Pricipice, både från Rayman 2. Du kan hitta dem på RayTunes, men de jag använde kom med spelet när jag köpte det från GOG.
Sure, but as I said those are just minor things we don't know so much about. Nothing worth making an entire video about. If there's ever more unused content found for those games I'll definitely make one though. :)
I think that the fish thing also pops up in the 3ds version. But that version sucks, you can't get a "try again", the music becomes earrape, the 3d is terrible and when you look around in first person the sky moves the way you look in some levels, and the 1000th lum softlocks the game.
You mean Eig? Yes, I think he appears in the 3DS and iOS versions since they are ports of the Dreamcast one. It's however been a while since I played the 3DS version.
Can't believe this masterpiece of a game was made by only 80 people.
80 people was a lot back then. Most games had only like 20.
If you didn't know Ssssam was a metallic snake at first, an old magazine render showed how he looked like ;).
Oh, no I didn't know that. Have you got a picture showing that render from the magazine? That sounds quite interesting! So that's the textures I found with the same names as Ssssam?
Exactly ;)
took me a bit but here's the render

Oh right, I've seen that one before. Thanks for pointing it out! I'll make an annotation in the video about that! :)

The first 2 and last one are actualy used
In german at least

2:28 So Jano was originally meant to be a *TRUE* ally...
I never saw him as an enemy in the game really. More along the line of the Guardians who just have their duty of protecting a valuable item.

It's been so long since I organized this, but I know for sure that the part about the whip was from the intro when Globox gets dragged into the cell.

The Italian translation of the game uses "controllo emissione" (emission control station) rather than "controllo tecnico" (technical check up).
That's interesting. I guess the Italian version was translated from an earlier version of the game (the same as some strategy guides were made from).

hmm.. I'm wondering if Razorbeard or Grolgoth (oh duck, did I write the name correctly? o.o) was always meant to be the final boss...I mean.. in which way he is a "liar"?..
and now I know what you mean by Jano as someone who encouraged Rayman at the very end.. by the line about the gold statue thing...
*but* what if Jano was the final boss himself? :O I mean, Razorbeard says things while the boss fight...so... that Jano is the "dirty liar" you have to face several times...and at the end he kinda gives up...and "encourages" Rayman by telling him if he would win he would gain all of Jano's gold...hmm...and the pirates were some secondary characters/enemies... and the someone who "taught him well" could be either Ly or Jano... but if Ly was a villain before..hmm... or maybe Murfy?

"we'll be dancing to bring you luck" sounds like the globox family xD like the rain-dance..just..ehm.. a luck-dance? :D :3
the "next page" of texts you assumed to be spoken by Razorbeard during the final battle:
what if my theory was true in some way, and Jano was the final boss, he could be schizophrenic...I mean.. that would explain the Rayman Origins' Bubble Dreamer's background-story we talked about some days ago... that Jano is his nightmare-version...sounds schizophrenic to me to have multiple personalities :V..maybe that's why he is called a "dirty liar" before...I mean.. after all Rayman is pretty young in this game (at least I think so xD) so you are young (maybe a child) or you (the player himself) is a child...and you/Rayman sees this character who pretends to be good on the one day but on the next day you see the bad side of this person... you would think he pretends to be good..so pretending could be "lying" for a kid, couldn't it? o.o or it is actually lying in some way...
and the line about Ly: I said before that Ly was ment to be a villain... at least I read this somewhere...maybe she turned from a villain to a hero, so that Rayman would've had a reason to say goodbye to Ly..
or the story about LyXRayman ( you know... the lovestory between Rayman and Ly)...as we could assume by taking a look at the artworks you showed before! :3...or both optiones combined!xD

hmm... okay the text from 03:35 seems to be from razorbeard this "if he will find the 4th mask"-line...but what if Jano and Razorbeard both are boss-fights ...I mean.. they are actually boss-fights xD... but I mean so close to the end :B...*what if* Jano was really the final-final-boss-fight and Razorbeard was just the first-final-boss-fight? xD... my theory could still be as true as a theory could be xD...
what if everything was just a dream?
I know he wakes up after the cave of bad dreams...but you can dream that you wake up in your dream... I just had this last night xD... dream-ception xP
about the "Robo-Rats"-thing... rats (so the animals) are varmints...and you could use the term to insult someone..I don't think that the Robo-Pirates were Robo-Rats before ....I think it's just to offend the pirates :B
about the changed names 04:13 : in strategy guides you said? O_O...
I guess only in English versions.. because I didn't notice any differences in my German strategy guid :O :B and that they swapped the names of Umber and Foutch is pretty interesting in my opinion :O...
morbide_tst could either be a Tomb of the Ancients test level or just a test-level were you are weak or just not strong..at least it means something like this in German "morbid" is an old German-word for weak, very ill or almost dead..
and before I'll write about my thoughts about the Tomb of the Ancients secrets you showed, I'll do a short break xD... I mean.. how long am I commentating now? feels like almost 2 hours O_q
I think I'll respond to each comment one by one :P And no problem about spamming or anything, I love reading long comments as well :D
1) That's what I've been wondering as well... Was there ever going to be a puzzle needing 3 spheres or was it just meant to replace another one? Maybe it was just there for testing?
2) Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if they were actually meant to appear in the original PC version but didn't for some reason and then when it was ported to the PS1 the new developers found them in the files and decided to use it. Regarding electoons that would have been interesting actually... It's so random that in most versions you just free Lums from the cages :/ I like how in the PS1 and the PS2 versions you actually free creatures and spirits rather than just... Lums.
3) I agree, they feel more like they'd fit the first game rather than Rayman 2.
4) That's always confused me as well... I always thought it was because they didn't bother making a baby Globox icon for just that cutscene, but then I found it in the files... So, why was it never used? :O It seemed to fit very well when I replaced the textures... It wasn't until the PS2 version I believe that they fixed that, and then they even created a new icon wit one baby Globox rather than 3...
5) Yeah, not much to say really about the arrow keys. I also appreciate the details added. Too bad they never got used, though I hate it when games tell you to "use the arrow keys to move" etc. I mean, that's so obvious :P
6) I also like the old font, but I think the newer one is easier to read. I fee like this old one would be a bit distracting in long sentences. I could maybe try replacing the new on with this old one some day...
7) Hm, I don't remember much from the bonus level in the PS1 version, but if it's similar to an enemy there it'd be very interesting! I've always been very curious on how the 2D Rayman 2 was going to be like...
0:07 Yes i now Rayman 2 but I doesn't play this game.
5:50 too bad these builds will never be found. This probably wasn’t developed on a SGI workstation so we’ll never even be able to find machines with the code for the game/Beta builds
There might have been some old N64 beta cartridges they printed to show to the press which might be found, but the chances are slim. But hey, a Rayman SNES prototype build was found recently, so who knows?
Wasnt the unused ship level seen in any early trailers for rayman 2?
Nice video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙋
Thanks!
4:41 IIRC that's just supposed to be one of the devs.
Yeah, this video is very old :p I added all the recent discoveries to RayWiki.
Det verkar som att UbiSoft aldrig någonsin släppte den tidigare versionen av Rayman 2 The Great Escape. Den såg väldigt annorlunda ut en själva originalspelet som släpptes ut 1999. Lumsen och dem lumsen som Rayman svingar sig i såg lite ut som det gjorde i PSX versionen i den tidigare versionen. Den tidigare versionen släpptes dock aldrig! Jag har försökt att se om det går och få tag i den, men det verkar som om det inte går att göra det, har inte heller sätt videos när någon spelar det, privat alltså.
Nej den tidiga versionen av spelet har tyvärr aldrig blivit uppladdad någonstans. PS1 versionen är baserad på en tidigare version som är varför den har samma lummar etc. Det finns några demon och prototyper, men de är alla av den nästan färdiga versionen, så väldigt få skillnader.
@@RayCarrot
UbiSoft gjorde, producerade och släppte ut det där spelet Tonic Trouble som är relaterat till Rayman 2 The Great Escape. Tonic Trouble finns också både som en tidig version och självaste originalspelet. Däremot finns den tidigare "Beta-versionen" av Tonic Trouble utsläppt till skillnad från den tidigare versionen av Rayman 2 The Great Escape som aldrig någonsin blev utsläppt och går inte alls att få tag på över huvud taget. Den tidigare versionen (Beta-versionen) av Tonic Trouble finns och går att få tag i.
What music is being used at the start of the video
i wonder big the pirson ship really is. proably 10 km
It's actually tiny: ua-cam.com/video/asTBcSVBq70/v-deo.html :P
4:25 with rayman control panel you can change control in rayman 2
Yeah I know, I'm the one who made the tool 😛
@@RayCarrot rly i like it its useful
A me acabó de dar cuenta que hablan inglés
Who is Eig? He doesn't do anything much in the Dreamcast port. I think he has more in PS2 but that is a remake. There is some prototype footage that he is in. Did they not have a enough time?
Back then i always called razorbeard razorbread xddd..
lmao
@@RayCarrot funny right? Idk what was i thinking. I felt like beard more like BrEaD
@@RayCarrot also are you planning on making a vid of rayman origins? Pretty please?? 😢
@@YourLogo523 You mean for unused content? Probably not anytime soon, sorry.
@@RayCarrot ok i mean like mod showcases.
Can I download the ripped textures?
I uploaded most of them to RayWiki:
raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Rayman_2_(early_production)
the red sphere base is used in sanctuary of water and ice
It's a different red which is more orange in color. This red one I showed isn't used anywhere.
RayCarrot i find it so interesting that those lums seen is the unused was reused in the ps1 version, it appears the ps1 version is probably the most closest version to the beta, heck it wouldnt suprise me if they took te beta engine and just moved around levels a bit
The PS1 version may have been in development a while, so they only had the early beta to go by when trying to make it run on the PS1. As the PC and N64 versions started coming together and they noticed how different it was they may have been more willing to add new content, such as dialogue, to better fit the beta elements. That's however only a guess. Maybe they simply used these beta elements since they were lower quality and would more easily work on the PS1.
RayCarrot i have had beliefs ps1 started before n64/pc, PS1 may be the original rayman 2
According Michel Ancel himself, Rayman 2 began development on the Dreamcast. It was hen switched over to the N64 which made him sad since the textures needed to be downgraded. He said he was happy when a Dreamcast port was finally made on which they could reuse all the old high quality textures. Also, the PS1 version was made by a completely different team, so I highly doubt it began development there. Well, unless Michel Ancel wasn't at all the creator of the game and he just was responsible for the first released version, which seems rather odd.
What is the music at the end of the video?

So how do I find the game files for rayman 2?
You can browse them using the Rayman Control Panel
@@RayCarrot but how?
- Locate your installation of Rayman 2
- Press the drop-down button for Rayman 2 and go to the options
- Go to the Utilities tab
- Open the archive
@@RayCarrot Oh thanks!
May i have the Artwork pictures?
I uploaded the files to the wiki: raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Rayman_2_(early_production)
Let me know if there's anything you're missing from there.
On 4:27 do those levels still exist in the game's files?
No
Interesting, what they were supposed to look like?
No idea
Wow, so much cut content. But I don't understand why was all that removed? It's not like the PC version was rushed or anything, right?
Not really rushed, but near the end of the development I think they started running out of time as some things which never made it into the game was added in later ports, such as the Dreamcast, PS1 and PS2 versions.
Wait, aren't the PS1 and PS2 versions before the PC one?
No, this is the order:
PC/N64 - Dreamcast - PS1 - PS2 - DS - iPhone - 3DS
So the PC version, along with the N64 version, was the original one. The Dreamcast version is like the PC version but with a lot of the cut content added.
DeltaGem It’s laggy and at 480i. It’s more of a Director’s Cut version, with the Dreamcast being the definitive version.
RayCarrot PC and N64 were released on the same day in the EU, and the N64 version was released 1 day after the PC port in NA.
If you have an Discord Server about Rayman 2, can you invite me?
We have a modding server for all Rayman games. Let me know when you've used the link so I can remove it: (removed)
I used it, but why would you remove it? Is it because the invite will be invalid?
@@jessenikulus9676 Last time I made the link public we got a bunch of trolls which started spamming.
Vilken låt är denna? :)
Den första är The Walk of Power och den andra The Pricipice, både från Rayman 2. Du kan hitta dem på RayTunes, men de jag använde kom med spelet när jag köpte det från GOG.
Ah, det var walk of power jag letade efter. Trodde först det var någon remix på Walk of life men hittade inget haha. Tackar! :D
You should do the same with rayman 1 or 3 :)
There's not that much unused content known for those games sadly enough and not that many decoding tools for the files.
For rayman 3 many contents got unused
Like what? I only know of some minor things which wouldn't be worth making an entire video about.
The xowar and other creatures?
Sure, but as I said those are just minor things we don't know so much about. Nothing worth making an entire video about. If there's ever more unused content found for those games I'll definitely make one though. :)
I think that the fish thing also pops up in the 3ds version. But that version sucks, you can't get a "try again", the music becomes earrape, the 3d is terrible and when you look around in first person the sky moves the way you look in some levels, and the 1000th lum softlocks the game.
You mean Eig? Yes, I think he appears in the 3DS and iOS versions since they are ports of the Dreamcast one. It's however been a while since I played the 3DS version.
I'm not a fast reader
You can always pause the video to read the text before moving on.
