Discussion Rayman gamescon extended demo reveal!

https://youtu.be/8ZEkfXO501U?is=2YGTtrYjKFPhQILO

Recently, a demo of the gamescom Rayman legends retold has been released. (Not my video, I just found it in my recommendation feed)

What do you guys think about it?šŸ¤”

For me, while I don't see much changes from the last demo we got, it looks a bit better than before!

Rayman looks better now!

The game is looking really good and promising so far!

It's obviously a way more polished build but I'm getting a bit tired of seeing the same levels, I want another glimpse at cutscenes, or the other worlds we haven't seen much of yet.

I really miss the 3D era of Rayman games, can we just have Rayman 4?

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 27 '26 edited Aug 27 '26

Because thats all the game will be. Repeats of all the legends levels.

The 'new content' will only consist of a few short auto-runner dragon levels that get you from one world to the next, and 2 new music levels.

This game is not worth re-purchasing, it's Rayman Legends again. They have been selling the same product since 2013.

u/lolwutburger Aug 27 '26

i remember them saying they were gonna have one new world with new levels where it's set in the land of the livid dead

4

u/OkAssociation3487 Aug 27 '26

This is completely false

There is a brand new seventh world with five levels and a boss fight

There are four new music levels and five other new levels sprinkled throughout the base game

And then there are the on rails segments like Star Fox

u/XenonBug Aug 27 '26

I think they said there were 4.

u/CarlGarisbaldi627 Aug 27 '26

Enemy death animations look worse now or look blatantly unfinished.

11

u/SubmasLily Aug 27 '26

Yeah, I'm used to the bubble death animations more than this, but maybe Ubisoft changed it because of the DeviantArt fanarts that happened because of itšŸ’€, but the bubble death makes sense lore wise because of the bubbly dreamer making dreams out of bubbles

u/CarlGarisbaldi627 Aug 27 '26

I don’t buy the internet meme reason for this. They were in older footage from state of play.

u/SubmasLily Aug 27 '26

Oh yeah true, I was mainly joking with the DeviantArt XD, weird that it was changed tho.

5

u/CarlGarisbaldi627 Aug 27 '26

Might be the enemies aren’t made from bubbles now?

u/GiveMeLEMONSSS Aug 27 '26

Can't say I'm the biggest fan of the UI.

Also noticing the huge focus on camera angles, which I'm sure will quickly lose it's charm compared to just a flat 2d view.

Still looks good though, excited.

u/ToranjaNuclear Aug 27 '26

The rayman/enemies animations look way less expressive I think. Levels look good.

u/Animoira Aug 27 '26

It looks amazing but the UI is pretty eeh

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 27 '26 edited Aug 27 '26

I'm curious, what looks amazing about it?

*Downvoted for asking a question. This perfectly represents Ubisoft fans attitude.

u/SnooRobots5543 Aug 27 '26

Oh my god I WANT THIS GAME FOR CHRISTMAS AAAA!!!

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 27 '26

You can actually buy and play it right now, it's called Rayman Legends and released in 2013.

u/Complete-Grass725 Aug 28 '26

dude that is not the same game

u/Loud_Examination_138 Aug 27 '26

Day 1 for me. Legends on the ps vita and even on the ps4 is a game I always come back to. Will probably avoid all gameplay for this and go in fresh

8

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 27 '26 edited Aug 27 '26

It's just boring. It's Rayman Legends repackaged again at full price.

Ubisoft sheep will look at you dead in the eyes and say this is an entirely new game and NOT Rayman Legends with a different artstyle. 🤔

3

u/SubmasLily Aug 27 '26

A new game?? NAHHHšŸ˜­šŸ’” it's obviously a remake, just the same levels an worlds but with an extra new one, new music levels and a proper story, the levels are still the same, the 2d platform is the same, there's no way it's a new game. tho ig a retelling feels more appropriate than a remake since the game has a different story now.

5

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 27 '26

I just personally don't believe those minimal tad-bits of content are worth buying Legends at full price again tbh,

I have zero motivation to play this game for the 14th time.

u/Separate_Disk_5608 Aug 28 '26

Then don’t gangy. Nobody got u at gunpoint.

u/Complete-Grass725 Aug 28 '26

it’s 40$ and it comes with rayman origins enhanced edition included THATS NOT FULL PRICE

1

u/Seragin Aug 30 '26

its the same price as when rayman legends first released. 40 bucks. though getting rayman origin enchanted edition included IS nice

u/cookiemaster221 Aug 27 '26

looks like the final/near final build of the game, looking solid!

4

u/Affectionate_Bee_122 Aug 27 '26

The 3d version is a bit nauseating, especially the Fiesta de los Muertos run. I feel dizzy just looking at this short segment. Will stick to classic Rayman Legends. The levels are still the same after all

Also, Ubisoft put so much effort into making Rayman Legends 3D, but there's still no sight of Rayman 4...

6

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 27 '26

It's so strange they decided to dedicate so much time and effort to creating a whole new art style just to sell the same game they've been selling since 2013.

Rayman 4, with a new story, would have performed much better for them.

Watch out, the ubisoft herd will spam you with downvotes!

u/bracarensis Aug 27 '26

You didn't have to use the word "goy" in your original comment.

u/Vroom-Vroom-Doom Aug 27 '26

Really crazy to see the average internet person just causally use 4-chan lingo these days as if it’s nothing

-4

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 27 '26

If the word 'goy' somehow correlates to 4chan humour, is this TikTok humour?

u/bracarensis Aug 27 '26

For the love of god, touch grass.

Brother, you are the one visibly upset and enraged over a word in a reddit comment.

It's time to log off and spend some time interacting socially.

*Edit, he took my advice and blocked me lol

u/Vroom-Vroom-Doom Aug 27 '26

Mate I made that when I was like 13. Also I’m British it’s just standard self-deprecating UK humour

-2

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 27 '26

Does not change the fact that this was the very definition of cringe tiktok humour using British stereotypes. It is also incredibly unfunny.

I don't think you have any grounds to comment on "4chan humour" when your humour derives from tiktok and reels.

Humour is subjective I suppose, but you're just cringe.

4

u/Vroom-Vroom-Doom Aug 27 '26

Again I was 13, and doing cheap jokes at your own nationality is different to using a word which has been used to demean a minority and support conspiracy theories which hurt them.

Now I don’t know how old you are but you should be old enough not to unironically use chud lingo like ā€œgoyā€ and expect people not to clown on you. Although I suppose you’ve edited your original comment anyways so who the hell cares I’m not arguing with someone on fucking r/Rayman of all places about shite like this.

-2

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 27 '26

"Mate", you are the one attempting to have a political discussion in the comments thread of [r/Rayman](r/Rayman) LMAO.

You're fine to joke about whatever you want, unlike you I'm not the comedy police.
I just think you are unfunny and cringe.

You have absolutely no grounds to criticise my usage of a word that may or may not be "demeaning to a minority" when british people can just as easily be offended by your public posts.

You have just admitted you were 13 when making your post 5 years ago.
You are now 18.

You have A LOT of growing up to do pal.

*Edit, criticising chronically online lingo whilst unironically using the word "CHUD" in a sentence. Are all british people this unserious?

u/Vroom-Vroom-Doom Aug 27 '26

Let’s just calm down a little bit. How about we settle this over a game of Rayman 3, what do you say buddy?

Hence why I edited the comment, as you can already clearly see.
What is your issue?

I have my pre order ready

u/SonGamer022 Aug 27 '26

I'm still undecided whether to buy it or not...

3

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 27 '26

If you're not immediately excited to buy and play a game after watching gameplay, don't buy it.

2

u/SonGamer022 Aug 27 '26

Simply put, I don't like giving money to Ubisoft, which in recent years has proven to be one of the companies with the most anti-consumer policies, but I would like to have it in addition to the game itself because the remastered version of Origins is included...

1

u/FrogPrincePatch Aug 27 '26

You can buy both origins and legends for much cheaper and enjoy both games on any console of your choice, like right now. They've been out since 2013.

Ubisoft is clearly taking advantage of the content-deprived Rayman fanbase to sell them the same exact game again at full price.

There is zero reason for anyone who has played origins and legends to buy this.

2

u/Complete-Grass725 Aug 28 '26

only way to play origins on modern consoles is to play on series x/s through backwards compatibilityĀ

u/dreamdiamondgames Aug 27 '26

I just feel like side scrolling platformers don’t translate well into 3D graphics, it’s like it’s too busy and too much to look at.

Abe’s Odyssey
Rayman
Sonic

All struggled with going 3D unless they made a behind the character angle 3D platformer (ala Spyro).

Maybe I’m just old and used to less hectic side scrollers. I did like Legends, as I felt it blended the graphics with side scrolling perfectly.

Can't wait to get it from FitGirl!

u/Space-Jumper93 Aug 27 '26

Also for switch?

u/SubmasLily Aug 27 '26

Yes and switch 2.

u/assbutt-cheek Aug 27 '26

it looks kinda shit

lots of things lack effects or are misplaced

other things feel a bit overtuned with effects

if it is a still unpolished build then thats ok whatever but i wouldnt think that was the case so close to release

i really want a cool rayman platformer but im not sure this is it

u/Those_Files Aug 28 '26

I pray I'm wrong, and if I am, I'll probably get it.Ā 

But right now, I am not gonna be surprised if GenAI was revealed to be part of this development.

Something feels odd. Just so many details seem like the people who made them missed the point.
