Rayman 2 - 1998 Beta Version Gameplay Robin 2024-10-15 | Here's a playthrough of a Beta version/demo of Rayman 2 that was distributed to a select group of readers of certain gaming magazines back in 1998. The build date of the exe is July 22nd, 1998. It features two levels, "morbide_p" (Tomb of the Ancients map 2) and "mapkit_foret" (A very early version of the Walk of Power, seemingly).You can download it here:hiddenpalace.org/Rayman_2:_The_Great_Escape_(Jul_22,_1998_prototype)Note that this doesn't run well on modern Windows (it's a bit of a crapshoot if it works at all). This is running on PCEm, set up using the following guide: youtube.com/watch?v=WDKWHVebaHYI also copied the game files to the C drive and followed the readme instructions which said to copy the DLL files to the system folder.

Rayman 2 - Flame Skip in Canopy 2 Robin 2022-04-06 | Finally, I found a flame skip in Rayman 2's Canopy 2 :) - this is actually really tough to execute, but it might be practicable.It seems to be important that you're going upwards when activating your hover to get the glide going, so you'll need to start the hover real quickly after jumping.Tested on PC, probably works on DC, maybe on N64 as well.
Rayman 2 - Tank Controls Mod Robin 2022-04-03 | So after a break of 2 years I finally finished this!Instructions and Download are here:github.com/rtsonneveld/Ray2Mod_TankControls/blob/master/README.mdThis mod changes the controls of Rayman 2 to the infamous "tank controls" or "car controls", where pressing a direction will turn the character in that direction, instead of the controls being relative to the camera.Interview source:Devs Play S2E09 · "Rayman 2: The Great Escape" with Michel Ancel, Tim Schafer, and Lee Petty by DoubleFineProdyoutube.com/watch?v=l6AgSHT8Ve0
APRIL FOOLS SPECIAL - Rayman 2: Back to School Robin 2022-04-01 | Well everyone, it was fun while it lasted but...April Fools! 🙃 This video was NOT official, from Gamestar or Ubisoft...BUTThe gameplay you see in this video is absolutely REAL!A few people from the community worked very hard to make these awesome levels you see in the video. For more info check this video:youtube.com/watch?v=RJblMUPYZUwHopefully you enjoyed! (And are not too mad! 😅)-- Original prank --A while back, a Rayman community member tweeted about an unreleased title called "Rayman 2: Back to School" which was listed in some gaming magazines and on IGN.This piqued my curiosity and I ended up contacting some of these magazines/sites and recently got in touch with GameStar.deThey were nice enough to take a look in their archives and managed to find this unreleased "Video-Special" showing gameplay of (presumably) an N64 build of this game!The concept of this game seems to have been a mix between the original Rayman 2 (it features lum collectables, cages, purple lum grappling) and the educational Rayman Junior (Rayman Brain Games).It features environments similar to the ones seen in Rayman 2 but also has throwbacks to Rayman 1/Junior, including school utensils and a Picture City styled world.Not much else is known about this game, except that it was apparently (also) planned for PS1 and was supposed to release around 2000.RibShark's tweet:twitter.com/RibShark/status/1433540582199025666

Rayman 2 - Tomb of the Ancients 2 IBG strat with raymap + input display Robin 2021-12-07 | Coco's channel: youtube.com/channel/UClPaNHG9gSsiQjiWDXJbA_wThis is a new strat that Coco and I developed where you clip out of bounds after the screen transition in order to be able to use the Infinite Barrel Glitch.What happens if you don't enter the screen transition before using IBG, the game will softlock as soon as you go out of bounds. By entering the screen transition you remove the little cutscene trigger that normally causes the softlock.The electric fence luckily allows you to clip out of bounds and grab the purple lum.In order to grab the purple lum you do need to screenshot to extend the range of your shots.

Rayman 4 (Phoenix Interactive) Animation Tests Robin 2021-04-14 | A community member recently got in contact with an animator of the now defunct game studio "Phoenix Interactive/Phoenix Studio" (not to be confused with Phoenix Interactive Entertainment), the studio that worked on the original Rayman 4 prototype. The animator was nice enough to provide us with some animation tests that they worked on for the project. The animations are compiled in this video.Music was added to the video for cocktail_test.AVI, Rayman_climb-walk.avi and the clips afterwards.

Rayman 2s Anti-Piracy Protection Robin 2021-01-19 | Back when Rayman 2: The Great Escape was released, pirating a PC game was often as easy as borrowing a friend's copy and burning it to an empty disc. Ubisoft developed and implemented a range of different protections to prevent this. Unfortunately, these protections didn't only affect the pirates...Scripts from the game were exported using https://raym.app/Full list of changes:pastebin.com/raw/iGmRDZTtThings I forgot to mention in the video:- The exit in The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava 2 is also broken but I forgot to record it. 21 Broken exits I guess.- There's a bunch of "fake" files on the Rayman 2 disc that appear to take up a giant amount of space (multiple gigabytes), which made copying the game to a physical disc impossible.- According to a developer's profile, the protection took a bit over 10 months to be broken.
