Why does Rayman have so much soul to it? Other than the Raving Rabbids era, I can't think of a time where Rayman media; the games, characters, soundtracks, etc weren't filled with character and flavor.

not sure, the IP just seems to have a sense of joy and playfulness to it

>See you in Rayman 4!

this series is also weird
Rayman 2 has a lot of versions and they're very different from one another

Gem-looking motherfucker

>those fucking crash bandicoot reactions
rayman lost his personality

For me it's Rayman 1, ridiculous difficulty and all

Nah dude even the first game had some leftover soul from the prototype. I'd kill for a 3D game with the same dark fantasy aesthetic that it and 2 had. Ubiart is pretty and all but now it's been oversaturated thanks to the mobile shit.

For me it's the PS1 port, even though its the worst and shorter one, the voice acting and nostalgia hit a soft spot.

Even early Raving Rabbids had soul. I'm personally not that big of a fan of the Ubiarts era though. They tried too hard to be zany and the games are too fast paced.

Im just baffled that the company that gives us so many empty open world qquesters gave us rayman. I bet the studio execs must fight tooth and nail to quash any rayman game from making it past the drawing board since it doesnt have recurring revenue streams

The first rabbid game with a classic rayman gameplay would've been great. The shooter sections especially had some interesting areas that would've been really cool to explore freely.

My first Rayman game was Origins, didn't care too much over the franchise before, and it was cool. Legends was okay, but at least most of it's art makes good wallpapers.

ALRIGHT Any Forums!
If you were to create a new Rayman game that would bring back the old fans and also get support from the newer generation, what would you make?
>3rd person shooter like PvZ:GW

Retconning Rayman's species into teensies was soulless as fuck

the original GW was unironically great, real shame about the sequels
I'd say go for a 3D platformer, safest bet; it's hard to top Origins/Legends and 3D is more popular in general, and there are lots of 2/3 fans

Because it's French

The show was dogshit but it was kind of entertaining

This, it was made in a soulful part of the world.

So what is Rayman, like an odd fantasy?

frog imagination, frogs are pretty good at making these kinds of worlds and they all have this fantasy feel to them

its the french touch. the french are the most wretched people on earth... but their art is lovely
