Yeah I feel the same way about the design, Rayman 3 Rayman looks like his final form to me and I’m kinda disappointed that it’s probably a thing of the past.
I really hope Rayman 4 is as well animated or even better than Mario & Rabbids 2. I want Rayman 4 to look & play like a living cartoon, like Sonic Unleashed did
I wholeheartedly trust Ubisoft Montpellier. They have an outstanding record with the franchise and are where Rayman was born. Milan's involvement is also a dream. They reignited the franchise and have a passion for excellence.
Honestly I would love a blend of that cartoony design from Rayman 1 somehow integrated into a 3D space like you said. The music and aura and design choices for Rayman 1 for me are the best ones.
If you want to see something similar to that. I just played and beat the smurfs dreams, which is a nice platformer, honestly. The colours brought me right to rayman 1. So It could definitely work. For instance the food level, is just candy chateau
Love your point on not toning down the aesthetics. We've gotten that a lot with remakes. Crash & Spyro remaster trilogy's genuinely dont look as good or fun as the originals. They seem to think the cartoony graphics were a mistake and pushed realism? (gameplay is great though. Fantastic games)
Yeah I think that’s my biggest request really. I don’t want a muted colour palette in a cartoony game. I want deserts to be as orange as possible and jungles to be 100% green, yanno?
That's exactly what I've been thinking !! The art style has always been one of the best and main focus of every Rayman game (more apparent if you look at the textures made for Rayman 2, they're beautiful) so I really hope they don't mess that up.
One thing that I do hope they do is bringing characters from previous games back. Ly, Clark, that Nightmare dude whose name escapes me right now and that I am too lazy to look up, the different nymphs from origins, just anybody more than Globox and Murfy (though I still love those two and want them to return as well)
The thing I don't really like about the redesign is his eyes. The rest is pretty good but that part I'm not a big fan of. Rayman 3 is very stylistic with the whole mono-eye look. The new one is certainly expressive but it just doesn't look as nice imo. The removal of this sort of started with origins but that's only because the artists that translated origins back into 3D sort of screwed it up a bit. Origins is clearly based on the R3 design and even includes the mono-eye look. Origins sprites change how he looks depending on the expression. This includes the eyebrows which aren't always present. In fact sometimes they even keep it as sort of a unibrow look like rayman 3. The best way to translate origins to 3D would be to actually make it look like R3 imo. I think this is the main reason the 3D models of origins never look quite like the 2D versions. And I'd love the redesign a lot more if they gave it more of that classic-mickey and sonic look again. R3's design was already pretty much perfect anyways. I wouldn't consider it outdated at all.
Your final point is probably the most important one by far. The fantasy world needs to feel vibrant powerful and not lackluster like a lot of modern games tend to feel.
DUDE! I am with u, I like M+R's design, but his hair is so bulbous and fluffy, it doesn't really convey it can be used as a helicopter, where as in past designs they're like flappy ears, so that can make a bit more sense to spin fast and cut ropes. I would wish they went back to the simple designs of Rayman 3, onto Raving Rabbids where all the characters looked like vinyl figures, which just went so well with the cool and punky Frutiger Metro aesthetics they used in that era (think of Chop Socky Chooks and deBlob, that kind of style)
Id hope for a new game that they don't have the weird giant food/music lands They've never felt immersive or whatever to me, as if the designers just said "fuck it, why not" when they made them
One of my biggest hopes is that either they use original engine (OpenSpace) or copy the physics code from one engine into another. Also keep up the videos, I appreciate the variation in the videos, I think the best schedule for videos would be shorter more cohesive videos on some of your thoughts or theories during the week, and then during the weekend or end of the week, have a long video circle around a certain topic. Im usually a silent viewer but I had to say something 😂 Absolutely love the videos man, keep it up.
I do agree that Rayman 3 Rayman is the best design, I'm definitely not biased here, nope, sparks of hope Rayman is too tall for me, he looks stretched, still looks nice tho. Pls Ubisoft just Rayman 4, I've been waiting since 3 :'(
I love Rayman and I'm really excited to hear that something may be happening. 3 is my favourite game of all time. I just really hope Ubisoft doesn't mess it up
Your wishes are exactly like mine. I would also delete loading screens if it's Rayman 3 remake. Not between worlds, but between levels. And I would like to have my national dubbing in polish, because honestly it's better than english and some quotes are iconic. I hope we will see trailer on TGA in next week.
what would you like for a Rayman 4? I would personally love for a storyline that combines all the previous ones (maybe an all villain team up where they fight together against one bad guy?) and a very open and fast level design (kinda like how crash 4 expanded on Crash 3 level design)
I agree with his design, i think his new hair is way to much, especially with the twister power up. I think if you thinned his eyebrows too, everything else with the new design is awesome. The hoodie pocket i can take or leave, might perfer it gone but either way i think its fine if we get rayman 4!
I've only played Rayman Legends so I don't currently have any opinions on the 3D Rayman games, but as a big 3D platformer fan (I love mario, spyro, a hat in time etc.) I am definitely interested in playing 3D Rayman if it ever comes to modern consoles regardless of whether it's a remaster, remake or new game.
if this prince of persia is your gauge to measure things by you will be estatic how shit they will treat him compared to competent game publishers, like ubisoft from the AC2 Era
In terms of the hair from SoH, I didn't really like it either at first. But actually playing the game and seeing him at different angles and scenarios, the thicker hair has grown on me! XD It definitely looks better at some different angles than others. The initial teaser really didn't do the design justice.. Even then, in my opinion, I think the thicker hair kinda adds more distinction to Rayman's overall shape. Mostly like his silhouette, if that makes sense?
If Rayman 4 happens it should use the gameplay style of the Raving Rabids prototype. That version of the game was ahead of its time and it would also appeal to modern gamers more than a linear platformer would. Also, sense Ubisoft likes the Rabbids so much, they could make them the antagonists again.
My big two concers is that Ubisoft will either: A) go bankrupt before they even get a chance to announce anything Rayman related (since around 2022 they've been struggeling financialy and whatnot) B) when they eventually get around to make a Rayman game they're gonna botch it with their dog shit Ubisoft open world formula.
Rayman 3 is probably the best Rayman design. Given MA didnt really like rayman 3 i dont think he would have made it better. Given some leaks of ideas he had i think it was for the best Rayman went to a diff studio. Rayman 3 or 1 remake is what we should get. Im not sure Ubisoft knows what to do with Rayman 4. Also if they do a R3 remake they better bring MADDER
Hey i have the question for Rayman 4 why get cancelled. -1 : Michel don't have time to develop Rayman 4 so he make a simple Party game you know . -2 : hardware limitations because Michel wants Rayman 4 release only on wii and then to ps3 n 360 but when come to a lot of rabbids and wacky objects the wii can'ts handle it but not Xbox 360 and ps3.
I think that the design of rayman in sparks of hope meant to look the same as mario design and rabbids so rayman would blend in more I dont think this is the new rayman design tho

@@corkbengood one man.

Yeah I feel the same way about the design, Rayman 3 Rayman looks like his final form to me and I’m kinda disappointed that it’s probably a thing of the past.
Origins & Legends have pretty much the same design as 3 no ?
Yeah, even in the first Rabbids game, he looked a bit chunkier and felt heavier to control.
A 3D Rayman 1 would be WILD! Although I’ll still be super happy with a Rayman 2 HD
I really hope Rayman 4 is as well animated or even better than Mario & Rabbids 2. I want Rayman 4 to look & play like a living cartoon, like Sonic Unleashed did
Rayman 3 has the superior design IMO
The darker red shade between rayman’s eyes and the beginning of his hair will always be my personal preference
I wholeheartedly trust Ubisoft Montpellier. They have an outstanding record with the franchise and are where Rayman was born. Milan's involvement is also a dream. They reignited the franchise and have a passion for excellence.

The Sparks of Hope redesign is fine besides...THE EYEBROWS! EWWWWWWWW, wtf are thooose?! Rayman 3 design is still peak, can't get better than it.

@@SnevilGrey Oh yeah that's the name!
Finally someone who find Rayman's hair to fluffy in his new Spark of hope design😭
You’ve gained a new subscriber! Congratulations! Rayman forever!!!

team no brows! rayman shouldnt have eyebrows.
In Mario and Rabbids: Sparks of Hope Rayman's redesign is just a 3D rendition of how he looks in Origins and Legends.
DUDE! I am with u, I like M+R's design, but his hair is so bulbous and fluffy, it doesn't really convey it can be used as a helicopter, where as in past designs they're like flappy ears, so that can make a bit more sense to spin fast and cut ropes.

5:55 yeah i understand that point of view but idk i like the banana hairs
I've been such a long time of Rayman🎉
3:08 A 3D Rayman 1 would be bonkers, but I think that's expecting too much from Ubisoft.
Definitely think it’s rayman 2. They should even add an option to play as razor beard or ly if you 100% the game
Id hope for a new game that they don't have the weird giant food/music lands
They've never felt immersive or whatever to me, as if the designers just said "fuck it, why not" when they made them
Did you know Ubisoft Montreal first games was Batman vengeance Looks very fun and interesting and Forgotten
One of my biggest hopes is that either they use original engine (OpenSpace) or copy the physics code from one engine into another.

You're so real for constantly glazing Rayman 3, one of the most underrated games ever!
Whatever Ubisoft does with Rayman, I really hope there’s not TOO many microtransactions..
I hope there aren’t any
@ same, but this IS Ubisoft after all. No microtransactions would be amazing though!
I do agree that Rayman 3 Rayman is the best design, I'm definitely not biased here, nope, sparks of hope Rayman is too tall for me, he looks stretched, still looks nice tho.
Pls Ubisoft just Rayman 4, I've been waiting since 3 :'(
I really want to see Rayman 1 remade in 3D. Can you imagine bongo hills or the mountain levels in 3D? damn
I love Rayman and I'm really excited to hear that something may be happening. 3 is my favourite game of all time. I just really hope Ubisoft doesn't mess it up
They’ll probably make this new Rayman game a celebration of Rayman’s 30th anniversary
Your wishes are exactly like mine. I would also delete loading screens if it's Rayman 3 remake. Not between worlds, but between levels. And I would like to have my national dubbing in polish, because honestly it's better than english and some quotes are iconic. I hope we will see trailer on TGA in next week.
Did you see the youtooz?
Yep! Already pre ordered it
@corkben I am gonna pre order it too!

@corkben
What if we could have Leptys Power after completing the game, in every other level of the game?
I want rayman's theme fromm rayman M/Arena to come back
Undoubtedly his best theme. In fact Rayman M/Arena has some of the best music overall
I'm hope they keep sparks of hope design that is perfect
I've only played Rayman Legends so I don't currently have any opinions on the 3D Rayman games, but as a big 3D platformer fan (I love mario, spyro, a hat in time etc.) I am definitely interested in playing 3D Rayman if it ever comes to modern consoles regardless of whether it's a remaster, remake or new game.
if this prince of persia is your gauge to measure things by you will be estatic how shit they will treat him compared to competent game publishers, like ubisoft from the AC2 Era
We need a rayman level that looks like pyro land.
In terms of the hair from SoH, I didn't really like it either at first. But actually playing the game and seeing him at different angles and scenarios, the thicker hair has grown on me! XD
It definitely looks better at some different angles than others. The initial teaser really didn't do the design justice..

I love Raymond Raymond funny returning I have been through rain and legends🎉🎉🎉 you're right keep it the same
I hope is the first game with Rayman Legends Graphics
Speaking of a theme or leitmotif, Rayman had a perfectly adaptable one in M(or Arena). Why did they just immediately bin it?
If Rayman 4 happens it should use the gameplay style of the Raving Rabids prototype. That version of the game was ahead of its time and it would also appeal to modern gamers more than a linear platformer would. Also, sense Ubisoft likes the Rabbids so much, they could make them the antagonists again.
Rayman 2 was arguably the best one.
I can't wait for romance return 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

B) when they eventually get around to make a Rayman game they're gonna botch it with their dog shit Ubisoft open world formula.
Ohh I also don't like the sparks of hope design, I think I have a problem with the hair and the size of the eyes

sorry for 3 min late
You’re forgiven 😉
@@corkben thank you😇
10 minute gang innit
😎
Your standards are just way too high when it comes to Ubisoft. I don't trust them one bit.
When do women get releases then you can play it I feel like you're going to do that😅
I never really liked any of the 3D ones.. the original Rayman remains my absolute favourite.
“Rayman had a rough transition into 3D”
I think that the design of rayman in sparks of hope meant to look the same as mario design and rabbids so rayman would blend in more
I dont think this is the new rayman design tho
