I recently revisited Rayman 3 and I was honestly surprised by how brilliant the pacing of this game is. You start out with two classic Rayman-esque levels, then the game hits you with a scary, dark swamp, then you get to explore this world, which introduces new enemy types and added difficulty, while making you feel somehow calm and relaxed because of the music. Then the desert level pretty much traumatizes you, but it's okay, because it's followed by a few platforming levels so you could catch your breath, then gradually it raises the difficulty back again until you reach the tower in the end and it just throws everything at you. The final boss is a perfect culmination of everything you learned in the game. It tests your skills to fight while avoiding attacks, it tests your reactions while you deal with a bigger but slower variation of the boss, then it tests your platforming skills, and then ends it by a completely new challenge which forces you to adapt one last time. It's actually amazing, more modern games should focus on constantly building and relieving tension instead of just throwing waves of enemies at you.
It's sad but Rayman 3 is what I thought I remembered all old games like. It was like a movie, Land Before Time and such. Introduction, curious mysterious world gesturing you to explore, the common happy world, middle adventure of adventure and some comedy, dark hectic moments, the calm relaxation, sudden reality moment, horror and terror and then the big challenge and conclusion before the final climax.
"Then the desert level pretty much traumatizes you" I actually stopped playing it for a pretty long time because dumb kid me couldn't figure out the later rock carrying sections and the knaaren and the infinitely spawning ghosts caused me so much anxiety that I had to switch off the console. Definitely one of the more memorable gaming experiences I've had.
I couldnt find the damn gong gong that I was supposed to shoot the rocket at to lure the knaaren away with. I was left hanging there for literal years. Huge RIP...
"Ah...the Land of the Livid Dead, at last. In any case, it’s nice and calm here. And here I was expecting a scary place filled with terrifying ghouls. Silly Globox." "SILLY GLOBOX? SILLY GLOBOX? Who is this bonehead?" XD
I played this game in English because i don't recall there being a Dutch version :P Helped me learn English as a kid though, even if i didn't understand half of what they said.
Ah! Here we are, the Land of the Livid dead, at last! In any case, it's nice and calm here. And here I was expecting a scary place filled with terrifying ghouls. Silly Globox!
I can really agree on you with that. They have these enviroment presented in a odd way but in a really good way in fact, really enjoyable. So unique, is probably the best word to choose here my friend. Lots of colour and adventurous/magical maps. You can clearly see they put alot of work compared to the timeline they made this. A level i really like is where rayman uses the funkyboard after he killed the underwater machine and in that level you could see tons of stars, waiting to become shooting stars making the map unforgetable. The stars was placed under the big sea as i remember it it was so beautifull to look at. I was really imersed by the level. It was so vivid and fantastic to look at, that i sometimes didnt want to complete the level just yet. The music was also spot on compared to what u are going through. Rayman 3 was truly an art, a masterpiece and idk how and why they just let this 3D serie die so quick or hopefully let us hanging this long.
I remember this independent “developer” guy was working on an inventive Rayman 4 environment and was really trying to work through it. He showed off his progress on YT, but I have never seen any finished detailing. Sadly he or any other company picked it up again. Rayman 4 would be such a hype today... just like with Crash 4 now
We don't need Rayman 4, we just need something that captures the feeling of it. We already have tons of modern retro-inspired 2D games, and a whole bunch of inventive new Doom and Quake clones, so why not spiritual sequels to old 3D platformers too? Mario continues to expand on the Mario 64 formula in creative ways, and Yooka-Laylee was a flawed modern take on Banjo-Kazooie but it had plenty of good stuff going on as well. Rayman 2 and 3 could absolutely get a worthy sequel.
As a huge fan of Rayman 3, this is amazing. The Land of the Livid Dead was my favorite location and the music had a huge part to play in that. This is spectacular. Thank you.
It was my favorite location too! It was like a relief and place to breath calmly between The bog of Murk and The Desert of the Knaaren. I loved every inch of it!
Everytime I got to this part of the game I remember that I've never wanted to play it through because the music was so great, so I would just chill there and listen to the vibes. Memories
As a kid my English skills were very poor, and I think thought he meant he was going to drop kids at the pool, into the pool. Causing a drowning 'accident'.
this is one of the best video games ever made and this arrangement is artistically unreachable its as close to perfection as video game sound tracks can be
Both this level always reminds me Brittany (celtic land in the West of France) and its folklore (also the Clearleaf Forest). I think the music plays a huge role in this appreciation, especially the use of an harp
"Sometimes it is not just about fun co-op gameplay. Sometimes it is about charm and immersion, with sufficient production value." Thank you. I miss the days when the latest exciting new releases, like Hoodlum Havoc, were about completely unforgettable singleplayer experiences. And thank you for making this great track of the game's tunes.
i am currently on my 5th play trough of this and with this being my first playthrough while high on edibles it hits so different and had major nostalgia. i wish i could live in the land of the livid dead
this is kinda the feel i want for a game im developing as one of my characters lives in and controls the dreamspace and this kind of feel and theme would suit the dream space
its called the Minokawa project. its a top down Bullet hell. and i kinda dream to oneday make a 3d game in the same universe but i know nothoing about making 3d stuff
It doesn't matter if its not 3d it still sounds awesome and with enough practice I think one day you will know how to make 3d games. I can't wait until its done. Good luck on completing it. :)
i post little development ppieces on my youtube if you wana see some of the developmental stuff ^^ im currently making a fan boss battle for a character called Lumen from the lenen project to try and test the system!
When I first played this game, I thought the Bog of Murk WAS the Land of the Livid Dead. Confused me quite a bit when there were no zombies or dead things, since the name invoked such imagery in my child’s brain. I beat Razoff, and finally manage to enter… …and that opening moment, landing in this beautiful landscape and soundscape, became the moment I properly fell in love with the game.
well Its confirmed to undergo development after beyond good and evil 2 comes out (which is soon) So REJOICE! It was said By Michel Ancel himself (raymans creator)
Look at modern games. Hate what you see. Use that hatred and anger to fuel your wish and will to make games and make games you want. That's what i'm doing even though my mind and body wasn't born for it and i'm terrible at it, but 2 years is at least something
this soundtrack is so astonishingly beautiful that unesco should preserve the servercluster on which your video is saved and treat it as world culture heritage - thanks france for producing this master piece
This beautiful soundtrack helped me in one of my worst moments in my life to think that everything is gonna be ok (it wasn’t xd) but I love it a lot and I remember when I was young and I played this... nostalgic :’)
Man, do i love the Land of the Livid Dead! I recently played through Rayman 3. Allthough its abit on side for me now, i was surprised and happy that it was actually still just as a great as i remember. Darn you Ubisoft, i am STILL waiting for Rayman 4!
This really takes me back, this game was fantastic and had a great Soundtrack and this one was the best...I still think that other Rayman Games did the music better but this Soundtrack excuses it It´s so beautiful
OH IF ONLY UBISOFT WOULD MAKE MORE RAYMAN!!!!! ITS MY FAVORITE GAME!!! Acualy I love this music so much it made me a little emotional on the inside, just cause I love it so much and I feel like not even 3 or 5% of the world likes this game... 😢😢 I'll play rayman forever

I used to stay in this area in the game just so I could listen to this beautiful music.

I need to drop the kids off at the pool.
it s the best game whose i played!!!!!

This is my favorite track of chillhood
And now I'm still playing :')
Awesome medley! Thank you for making this, it brings back so many memories :)
Thank you, this medley makes me feel really emotional. I love it, and I wish we get a 3D Rayman 4 eventually

When I was a kid The out of control part would freak me out, especially when what sounds like a lady makes that weird moan sound 😅😅
Nostalgia bro :")
Merci beaucoup pour cette compilation, je l'utilise à la fois pour m'aider à me calmer et pour m'aider à m'endormir :-)
easily one of my favorite pieces of music ever
Rayman 2 and 3 are so fucking great.
It's like mother nature
Ubisoft... Please more Rayman and less Assassin's Creed
This makes mes so calm..
This really takes me back, this game was fantastic and had a great Soundtrack and this one was the best...I still think that other Rayman Games did the music better but this Soundtrack excuses it
It´s so beautiful
this is amazing
Its beautifull.
Do it for the "Bog Of Murk" now ! :D

We have to go back..
Could it be that this world was inspired by the Eddar and its underworld layer Hel from Yggdrasil from the Nordic mythology?
This level in particular and the music are inspired by celtic folklore, quite similar in nature to Norse :)
Who is waiting for rayman 4 to be a mixed map of rayman 2 and 3 and rezorbeard team up with andré?
That would be really cool actually
Rayman 4 could happen in 2020 if we are lucky guys! Ubisoft will drop three new games next year
Rayman 4 was confirmed ....
But I dont think it's gonna be 2020 tho
Lets Play I think it will happen when PS5 and the next Xbox gets released
