*Firstly to anyone who does not know, this design is based on Rayman 3 heavy metal fist power up.
Why is this power-up in a Rayman LEGENDS remake? I have no clue.

Obviously the high quality TEXTURES are more advanced than the original Rayman 3 model released in 2003.
But what I am talking about here is the DESIGN changes of the actual character.

1. The eyes are split for some reason, giving this uncanny humanoid look.

2. New version just has a lazy 'superhero mask' slapped around the eyes, instead of in the original Rayman 3 where the hair created his mask and wrapped around his head.

3. The torso and hoodie proportions were also made more "human" and basic. The old drawstrings were larger and had more animation and cartoony look to them.

4. Even the metal FISTS were created to be more "human". The fingers now have 3 points of articulation/joints just like real human fingers.

Each of these design changes has strictly been a downgrade. This situation reminds me perfectly of the original botched sonic movie character design.

I understand the Rayman community is starved for content and long overdue for a true sequel, but these awful remakes are just disrespect on Ubisoft's part.

I'm so disappointed, I don't even know where to begin. Rayman was the first game I ever played as a kid, and I grew up spending all my free time with its world, characters, and iconic soundtrack. Even though I already own the PS1 version and Rayman Forever (from Good Old Games), I wanted to support Ubisoft in celebrating the original Rayman series.

I couldn't even make it 5 minutes in. The music ranges from atrocious (MS-DOS map theme) to passable (Jungle theme), but even if the new music was brilliant, it's no way to treat an anniversary collection that's supposed to be a complete, pixel-perfect celebration of the original games. Imagine buying an Indiana Jones Trilogy collectors box, only to have the iconic John Williams score replaced with stock action music. It's beyond unacceptable.

I sincerely hope Ubisoft gets around to fixing the licensing issue, but if they don't, there's no way I can support this version in good conscience. I want more Rayman, and still dream of a real Rayman 4 someday, but the games need to be treated with the same love and care as the originals. Until then, I'm sticking to the versions I already own.

I Created The Baby Versions of the Nymphs, No It's Just a Headcanon, Polokus Dreamed The Nymphs Older than That, That is Just a AU

I prefer Rayman 1's style of 2d gameplay more than the fast paced gameplay of legends and origins. Rayman 1's more grounder mario style is better. I also like the different worlds like Blue Mountains etc and how each boss suited each world.

I wish we could have a true sequel to Rayman 1. Rayman Redemption was a great game and it was the closest we've had.

BTW

Random but Sonic is trash. I can easily go back and play Rayman, Mario and Donkey Kong country games in the 90's but I believe Sonic was never good. No skill involved just run get hit then pick up the rings you dropped them keep running lol.

Rayman is a lot better than Sonic and always has been.

But please don’t start a war in comments (This IS related to Rayman) and don’t be rude🙏🙏🙏

I'm sorry but no. The only thing I like about this design is his hair

I have started noticing how much worse the Rayman community has gotten, from review bombing to even attacking other fans who actually like the 30th Anniversary Edition and its OST.

At this point, if ya'll start harassing the actual Ubisoft staff AND Christophe Heral over this, then the Rayman community might as well say goodbye because Ubisoft will pretty much be scared of us and will be EVEN MORE hesitant to release another Rayman game (a completely new game, even, if they're planning on doing that). Please stop this right now before it gets to this stage, they don't deserve the harassment over a SOUNDTRACK.

I get not liking some of the music on the OST. I agree that some tracks sound bizarre, and that's fine, but uninstalling and asking for a refund over the entire soundtrack and attacking others who enjoy it is NOT okay and that's not what the Rayman community should be.

We have been starved of Rayman content FROM Ubisoft for 10+ years since Rayman Legends Definitive Edition came out for Switch, and now that we finally got something, Ubisoft is dipping their toes back into the water and now some of the Rayman community is essentially piranha-biting their feet.

If you're wondering why I am being so "weirdly defensive" and "toxically positive" over the 30th Anniversary Edition, THIS discourse is exactly my reason why. I KNEW this was gonna happen. I'm not a fake fan, or an Ubisoft bootlicker, I'm a person who knows what reasonable criticism is vs. straight up being hateful.

I thought we would be like "hooray, Rayman's finally back!" but nope, it's the opposite somehow, which baffles me.

At this point, if Ubisoft calls it quits, then you guys can't say it's Ubisoft's fault for quitting Rayman.

Have a good day.

Any hateful replies will not be replied to, and I don't give a damn if I get downvoted to hell and back for this. Ya'll need to stop before it gets worse than it already is, over a SOUNDTRACK of all things.

EDIT: if you're wondering "show me the hate", it's not just the subreddit, it's other social media like Twitter (I refuse to call it X). It's even worse on there too!

EDIT 2: For those saying I'm downplaying the criticism, I'm not, I'm actually saying there's a difference between CONSTRUCTIVE criticism vs. straight up being hateful and awful, especially towards other people.

EDIT 3: Someone brought up something that I unfortunately left out, so thank you for bringing this to my attention: This is also aimed at people who do like the OST and the game but attack others who don't and give CONSTRUCTIVE criticism: You're also wrong too in that regard. People can dislike a few tracks, just let them do that. They're not hurting you personally unless they attack you as a person right back, then I have no say or control in that matter.

EDIT 4: Okay if there's people constructively criticizing the 30th Anniversary Edition, then please show me where that's happening. Please, I am genuinely wondering where because that's not what I've been seeing lately.

EDIT 5: Turns out this discourse has been happening since DAY 1 of the game's release and people have seen others dogpile/name call/insult users who had positives to say (and were not attacking users who had negatives) or, at worse, insulting Christophe Heral. I genuinely wonder how that's "constructive criticism" on THIS subreddit.

FInal edit: For those who are thinking I'm saying this to "downplay" or make ya'll "keep quiet", that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying you can voice your opinion and criticize, just don't openly be a complete jerkwad to people that think differently, or be an ass to the dev team just because you don't like something. This also goes towards the genuine toxic positive people, you're included in this too. I do have some criticisms of the 30th Anniversary Edition, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to be an asshole to people unless they're an asshole to me (which I'm not gonna let that happen and nor should you).

Final FINAL edit: Please don't start shifting the goal post to being ableist, I will not tolerate that shit as I am autistic myself.

If you didn’t know I told my cousins and brothers and my mom about the delay of retold and they were shocked I know how all of you are saddened by this news but they gave a reason why the game needs to be delayed at the letter they said that:

“While the game has gone gold, we have decided to take extra time to make sure every detail gets the care it deserves”

But don’t worry because they have said that:

“In the meantime we can’t wait for you to show what we were working on, starting with a game overview trailer on September 22nd (which is two days after the announcement of my fav anime’s 10th anniversary project btw) that same day a selection of creators and press will share some fresh hands on impressions”

Can you guys believe it???? A NEW TRAILER IS COMING OUT ON SEPTEMBER 22ND!!!! Which is exciting to see and I also hope that they will release the rayman origins remake on October 1st because we need something that will keep us up at the hype!!!

Tbh, I personally don't think they are that sexy nor hot. At the end of the day, it's my opinion.

Say whatever you want to in the comments

It's just all the mainline games have excellent controls, visuals, music and design

You don't have to be a Rayman fan, it's just being part of the main franchise is like a seal of excellence.

I don't know if I like Rayman, but also all the main Rayman games are my favourite games out there.

If I get another game like Rayman Origins I'm ending my life. I want something fresh and new, not some quirky throwback that's forcefully silly and quirky. We need something inspiring and real again, something that says SOMETHING. Even if it's just Rayman 1 with better graphics (without the Origins art style because frankly I'm bored of it) I would eat it up.

Not that the origins games were bad, it would just be a snooze fest getting another origins looking game instead of something that actually takes itself somewhat seriously. I want something cool and atmospheric like the first 3 games. I seriously think that a Rayman game that makes the Rabbids the antagonist is not a horrible idea as they are somewhat menacing.

Again, I liked the origins games, but we have 2 sequels on IOS that do them more than enough justice. 4 Origins games is great, it's time to move on.

Hello there!

This all my rayman oc artwork I hope you like it :3

Yes, it will actually be on Game-Key card.

yes, i DO want the og ost, but you guys are just going crazy over it.

• Gets overshadowed by their own Spin-Off.

• The Spinoff gets a crossover with Mr Video Game himself.

• The main franchise were dormant for atleast 5 to 6 and made a comeback with a Reboot or Sequel.

• The Reboot/Sequel is successful and tries to do another entry again.

• Neglected Dormant again for decades

• Somehow return but as minor DLC or a cross-promotion in other games.

I can't help but ask... why? The game is extremely good as is and would be incredible even if it released today. The artstyle is so charming and pretty. Neither we nor the game needed a remake. We need a new game instead.

Weird mix of cute and weird
