We all know it is worse than Rayman 2 but, does it have soul?

I miss early 2000s edgyness

>THEY'RE SHOOTING AT US
>HOW ORIGINAL AMIRITE
>I LIKE THAT OUTFIT ON YOU WHEN DOES IT COME OFF
>LOL WHO WRITES THIS STUFF
>REFERENCE
It's the most soulless of the trilogy.

It's far better thna rayman 2 you nostalgiacucks

To be honest I preferred it over Rayman 2. I remember wanting to play the games in order and at a certain point I just got bored with Rayman 2 and went directly to 3. Sure the humor is dated, but gameplay and soundtrackwise it beats 2.

>worse platforming
>focuses on combat which is shallow as fuck and literally has a combo system for no reason

prove it

Combat is miles better than it was in 2

heaps

and the platforming and level design is far worse

true,i bought on xbox 360 and when i played it sucked ice i preffer rayman origins with these sexy fairys

combat in Rayman 2 was just there to give it some variety, simple and effective, in 3 is a major part of the game and isn't even good, just strafe and jump, like in Ratchet and Clank but here you are forced to be extremely close to the enemy and you only have one attack

I don't know about the english version, but the french one was perfect.

Not the same guy, but nothing was worse than doing these shitty rocket riding sections with the awful camera and controls that were in rayman 2.

Osts are far better in 3

This

It's better than Rayman 2 and it has more soul.

it's a good sequel, though I prefer 2 for being more focused on pure platforming.
The running rocket and sliding sections where fun though challenging, more puzzles involving the plums, proper underwater levels unlike 3, which replaced it all with just more combat.
Let's not forget that the game ends with a turret sections, of all things..

>it's fine when rayman 2 ends with a shitty vejicle section

I replayed it last year when it went for free on GWG.

It is a lot shorter than i remember

Yes, it does have soul, but it's a very different type of soul compared to Rayman 2

the flying rocket? that's still focused on dodging stuff and navigating the environment, Rayman 3 is fine but that turret section was dumb

>but this game has better music
Are Rayman 2 and Rayman 3 rhythm games?

>music doesn't matter in a game
are you braindead

>music makes this game that doesn't know what it wants to be better than this game that focuses on the platforming it wants as the main focus

It's a well know fact that the japs have shit taste. It's like you're a newfag, or something.

>the PS2 version
Based, Excellent choice.

The world they added with the scarecrow and shit was sooo comfy

Japan only has shit taste when it fits the narrative

Japs got all the other Rayman games though

This is literally the only Rayman game I've ever played and I remember enjoying it except for the shooting sections.

I loved the game as a child and getting raving rabbids afterwards was such a disappointment, holy shit. I still like to return to it from time to time, if only to relive the nostalgia.

1 >> Origins >> 3 > 2

The combat was a lot better, everything else was worse.
It didn't have the same feel of adventure that 2 had, which was the biggest factor in it being considered meh.

They literally don't like Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho. That's all you need to know to ignore all of Japans taste.

This fucking soundtrack always makes me want to do another playthrough

Rayman 2 is good and all; but does it have a racist Chinese caricature in it? youtu.be/wXAjvM3D4io

What's the best version of Rayman 2?

Rayman 1 was all I ever played on the PS1 and I don't think I ever beat it.

Probably the PS2 version named revolution.
It adds a bunch of shit like an open world instead of a level select screen and some extra levels.

>when shit gets too real

Land of the Livid Dead is proof it has soul

Which Rayman started off with you escaping some ship or something via a slide or some shit

That's the only Rayman I've played and it was fun

rayman 2

I never even completed it. I should play it again. Had it for the 64

You should, it's a really good experience.

> 2019
> STILL no definitive Rayman 2
What the fuck

It's fairly short and fairly easy, but I recommend it. Either play the PS2 or dreamcast versions. The weakest of the original trilogy, but it has some nice areas and great music. You missed out on the music since the 64 version is all low quality midi. Listen to this comparison.

I really preferred 3, the atmosphere, the colors and so on made it much more memorable to me. I admit I started with the DS version of Rayman 2 so that's probably why I didn't like it, but then I played the PS2 version and got tired of it very quickly. I'll give it another try one day.

I feel scammed now

Listen to this though, 2 had 10/10 sound direction

well back in 2004 it definitely had. Havent played with it since

This game was BRIMMING with soul. That tower in land of the livid dead is one of the most soulful levels in any platformer.

It had more soul than 2.

I liked the Bog of Murk. One of the comfiest swamp levels I've seen.

MAKE HIM WRITE BAD CHECKS

It sure is.

It's better than 2 and has soul for sure

I seriously need to replay Rayman 2. It's been way too fucking long.

I hope that the next game expands on the lore of the Rayman series in the same way that 2 and 3 did. Showing the Knaarens hunting the Teensies as depicted on the cave paintings was cool and there's so much more they can do with Polokus as well. You would think that the deity responsible for shaping the world the way it is would have a larger role in the franchise.

?????

It will likely be a while before Rayman 4. Specially if they want Ancel invovled since he has BG&E2, plus that likely vaporware title with the big titty snake lady.

Unironically is better than rayman 2

Which version should i play, faggots?
i have a pc that can emulate anything out there.

What's the difference between rayman 2 and rayman revolution

Overall improvements if I remember correctly.

Thread theme:

Improvements, an overworld in place of a level select screen some extended sequences that make the pirates have more of a presence in the world because of it.

Best track

Rayman 3 I like more because of the bad guys. Robo pirates are awesome, but the hoodlums are super cool looking, use rifles, and drop those power cans that let you do awesome moves like the chain swing or tornado punches. The combat was upped a good deal over 2, those grindy fights against the Ninja pirates are nowhere near as fun as a hoodoo sorcerer protecting a squad of hoodblasters.

Why the fuck was this here?

There's a huge disconnect between the writing, the environments and the music. It's like the game has soul but the writing does not.

I never liked that version, I always prefer the PC port or the 64 version. Shame that the ps1 port was so poopy, because I had that one only for the longest time
