Saw this on the live feed of Ubisoft's conference. Seriously beautiful game. I know people will hate me for this, but I liked the first Rayman more than the 3D Rayman 2, so this really has my attention.

...which is scary. I didn't think I could care about Ubisoft.

I don't know anyone who can rightfully hate you for that. The first Rayman was just...magical.

@Shockwave Here's a controversial opinion for you: Classic Rayman was better than Donkey Kong Country.

Both games are awesome in there own way. I loved the original game because it was cartoony, while I loved the 2nd one because it was a lot darker. I'm glad that with origins they are going back to their hand drawn cartoony visuals and bringing back several elements that made the first shine as a classic. This holiday season shall be fantastic!

Please let there be a soundtrack released along with this game. It's whimsical as all hell.

Um this game isn't for the Wii. It's for the 3DS.

No it is for home consoles. Xbox 360, Wii, and PS3.

What I meant is, I thought the version for Nintendo systems was only going to be for 3DS. I didn't know there was a Wii version too.

What I mean is, I thought there was no Wii version, just a 3DS version (in addition to Xbox 360 and PS3). I guess there's no 3DS version now?

I think this game looks great. I just wish the animation was more hand animated rather than the flash animation look. I know it's faster, but it looks cheaper too.

This is exactly what I was going to say. The collision detection also seems wonky, like when Rayman is holding on to the ledges of those tilting mushrooms.

Dilemma: should I give Ubisoft money they don't deserve in any way, or should I avoid buying the game which also means that the Rayman gang won't get any money?

I've always known him, but I've never played a Rayman game in my life. I only clicked this trailer to prove Joystiq wrong, and watch it without smiling. I failed.

Indipendent developers take note: this is how you do 2-D

I absolutely love the 2D art style and I'm hoping it becomes more of a trend. I know it's kind of his whole "thing" but I kind of wish Rayman had arms. I don't know why, but I think he loses some personality for some reason. Stupid comment, I know, but I guess it's because I'm not a longtime follower of the series.

I'm surprised its taken people this long to get hyped for this game!
I've been looking forward to it since they announced it!
Everyone have a look at this website:
http://ubi-art.uk.ubi.com/
It shows off some of the technology there using to make Rayman and it really does look astounding!
People with an interest in animation especially owe it to themselves to take a look!

Good old fashion 2D gaming at it's finest! I love it. I would love to see another 2D Castlevania using a 2D engine like this, but with the traditional Castlevania art.

This has a somewhat Earthworm Jim-esque feel to it.

In other words....groovy.

I love my 2D platformers, still waiting for a proper megaman X reboot.

Finaly a true 2D platformer, I almost gave up on anyone ever producing one again. And next to that the graphical style, albeit shitloads better, reminded me a lot of Earthworm Jim... Shiny doing anything these days?

This is one of the best games i've seen at E3 this year. There's no way this can turn out bad.

The only Rayman game I played was Rayman Advance, and I loved it, so I am psyched for this one.
