Did you see or miss the announcement of a new Rayman game?
A new non-rabbit infested solo Rayman platforming game? Finally!
Ubisoft announced, to much surprise for everyone, that a new Rayman platformer was finally coming!
Rayman Origins, the 4th "real" Rayman game.
It will go back to its 2D roots like the original one on the Sega Saturn (...and PSX).
The 3D Rayman were okay, but the first one had a different quality, a certain charm~
This new Rayman will (sadly) be available through digital release on Xbox live and PSN, will be episodic and is all 2D hand drawn!
Looks like someone took a note from Capcom and Sega's recent retro comebacks...but in beatiful 2D hand draw animation instead of lazy old sprites reuses or pre-rendered 3D models!
Here's the trailer, it only really starts at the middle of the video!
And here's a new trailer for that other platforming mascot game, Sonic Colours.
Almost like the previous one, but a bit longer around the ending.
I LOVE Ubi-Art for re-creating Rayman (thank god no Rabbid's!) but to actually go back to the START is even better and explain how he met his blue buddy. finally 2player mode!
ReplyDeleteBut gotta love the fact Ubisoft are dedicating a department to 2D gaming now! May it prosper!!
And Sonic colours looks as generic as all the other Sonic projects : / new character looks like a chao but less cute, annnnnd thats all i can say
A platform returns :D
ReplyDeleteit's a good news...i have always loved platforms :)
The return of platformers!
ReplyDeleteAfter the year 2000s and the First Person/Third Person Shooter invasion...
A 2D studio, Ubi-Art, is a fantastic idea!
I'm kinda sad they will only came out on digital...
:(
Only WayForward Technologies (A boy and his Blob 2009, Batman The Brave and The Bold) and Good-Feel (Wario Land Wii) seem to release 2D games on disc/retail releases now!
Only in digital?!?!?!
ReplyDeletei don't like digital delivering.....maybe i'm old....but i want my disc, whit case and manual...
But anyway.....a platform returns it's alwasy a good thing! (my english......ahhhhh)
I want my games on discs inside boxes as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm a retro gamer, and have all of my games that way!!
(don't worry about your english! it's okay^^)
OMG, is that actually Britilla(sp?) the fairy? Haven't seen HER since the FIRST game.
ReplyDeleteYep, seems to be her!
ReplyDeleteNice throw back to the original Rayman! (my favorite one)
