Is Rayman 2 the most ported game ever?

>>1007848

Nah.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_versions_of_Doom

>>1007848

How about Frogger?

I still can not beat it without cheating.

>>1007854
More like Space Invaders. Or Pac-Man.

>>1007848
That would be Tetris

LE RAYMAN FACE

SO HOW ABOUT THAT BAND LAND EH?

>>1007882
Ugh, that just reminded me of the god awfully long intro to Rayman 2... No way to skip it...
Please help me forget.

>>1008627

Anyone up for making some custom levels from RayKit (Rayman Designer)?

Been playing Rayman 2 for Dreamcast. Really surprised how well its aged for a 13 year old game. Good and useful strafing, tight controls, precise jumps for a 3D game of its time, and some beautiful environments.

The new games are a good, fun, more fast version of the first game, but I'd like to see a new 3D rayman. How was Hoodlum Havoc?

>and some beautiful environments.
I really love those dark forests, so comfy.

rayman 3 was my favourite rayman

The problem with Rayman was the lack of lives once you reached the later tougher stages. Plus you have a limited number of continues.

Granted you can always go back to the first stages to grind levels but GOD was that a pain!

Also going back into previous stages to find all the cages was not fun somehow. Kinda odd, some games DO manage to make "backtracking to previous levels" fun but I never found it fun in Rayman.

also

Should play the Saturn of PC version instead.

>some games DO manage to make "backtracking to previous levels" fun
As far as I'm aware the backtracking to previous levels for the cages was pretty much only if you missed them. There are VERY few levels where you can't do something until you get farther in the game, and those levels do make it fun to go back because a new area is unlocked.
Mostly speaking of Rayman 2 as I played that extensively and played Rayman 1 a bit, but really not much at all.

>>1009591
Hmm no in Rayman 1 there are tons of cages you can only get once you have the power ups later on. And there is hardly any new area unlocked or very small bits

>>1007853

>How was Hoodlum Havoc?
Decent game, but not nearly as good as 2, which is why people put it down so much.

>>1009591
On the first game, I assure you that you will NOT find all the cages on the first run, even counting the ones that are impossible without later upgrades. Many of them are well hidden and hard to reach.

>>1009259
>some games DO manage to make "backtracking to previous levels" fun
The thing with Rayman is that many of said levels are pretty hard, and the way cages are hidden (invisible until you reach a certain point, and then you hear some sound which tells you something spawned) is pretty tedious.

>>1009636
And if you ignored the cages the first time around thing they were optional, you have to replay the entire game again. And it is on limited continues. The cage thing really was the only bad thing about the game.

I can only play this game without cheating until I get to the art levels. That part where you have to jump in between 50 million colored pencils is infuriatingly difficult. I think I got to that viking lady with the rolling pin once, but I was lucky.

>tfw Rayman was going to be this
If somebody leaked the ROM, I'd probably still play it.

>>1007480
I've never finished it. Too bastard hard.

>>1008741
This chart is fact.

>>1009924
shiiiiet best rayman that never came out

>>1009924
Does that say what I think it does? Are we looking at a SNES CD game?

>>1007480
I dont get Rayman.

Slow, floaty, no feel platforming that was a step backwards from just about every 16bit platformer and released on the playstation. Why does it have a following?

Maybe some people liked the art, but how hard is it to animate limbless creatures? Laziest design ever.

Easily the worst playstation game I played when I was young.

>>1010347
But it's so fun though.

>>1010305
Rayman 4 on wii is the best Rayman that never got out. At some points it got scrapped in order to make the raving rabbits games. It looked wonderful.

>>1007882
Yeah! Grandma!

>>1008741
It's not often I see a chart that isn't trolling.

>>1010216
Rayman 3 was a good game

I've only played the PS2 version of Rayman 2. That hub world was wonderful. Gonna have to replay some time.

>>1010416
the PS2 version is the best one.I regret not buying it.

>>1009259
Rayman Gold is definitive

>>1010416
>>1010441
Revolution was the only version without the yellow lum glitch but felt sluggish compared to the DC and PC version (crippled by DRM at the time; GOG version is perfect).

>>1010406
It's not a terrible game. But its not anywhere near the quality of any other rayman game (discounting rabids).

>>1010759
yellow lum glitch?

>>1010797
I remember it being a glitch but apparently you can obtain all 1000 yellow lums in the Dreamcast version albeit cryptic. Nevermind. :)

It was decent at best, especially when compared to the first and second which were both stellar.

There are two rayman wikis and their differences can be explained by simply looking at two equivalent articles:

It gets better, go to trivia.

>>1010406
i liked it.. heh funny story:
i saw the commercial when it first came out and thought "AW COOL A NEW RAYMAN!" So I bought it for GBA instead of getting a home console version. Turned out like an updated Rayman 1 (which I also got the GBA port of after enjoying the PSX version.) I was cool with it, but slightly disappointed with how companies alwys seemed to downgrade gba ports... GODDAMN THOSE FUCKING BUMPER KART FROM HELL STAGES JESUS CHRIST AAHHHHH!! WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?!
Later I got it for ps2.. It was nice..

>>1009605
Doom 64 may very well be the best one, on console.

Bet you haven't seen this neat Rayman commercial.

today, the only commercials that have good 2D animation in them are cereal commercials, and that's because everyone eats cereal.

>>1013621
unfortunately i have not, but now that i have, i feel a bit more complete.

Is anybody else besides me wanting to see Ly in a new Rayman? This is some cool concept art I found on the wiki.
(not the >lel kingdom hearts one)
I did not make that filename and am slightly angry with it..

>>1014530

I saw a picture of her in Rayman Origins style and was disappointed when it turned out to be fanart.

>>1009906
>you have to jump in between 50 million colored pencils
I was stuck in that part too. You only need to run, and nothing else, pretty easy unless you have to find the hidden cage there.
The Space Mama level (the one with LODS-A-TACKS) needed some precision.
