- How comedy, cartoons, and a connection to nature set Ubisoft Montpellier apart - 6 September 2021
There’s little to recommend the game that built Ubisoft Montpellier today. Rayman was a brutal hangover from the SNES and Mega Drive era of 2D platformers, a cruel cavalcade of spike pits and memory-test bosses. Its protagonist was a bequiffed berk with no limbs and even less charisma; his world a nonsensical mishmash of poachers, pirates, and washerwomen, in which even static objects unsettled you with their big, googly eyes...

- Rayman co-creator Michel Ancel says he's leaving video games - 18 September 2020
Michel Ancel, the co-creator of Rayman and creative director of Beyond Good & Evil, today announced that he’s stopping working on video games. The French designer started at Ubisoft when he was a teenager and, after over 30 years in the industry spent mostly at Ubi, says he wants to focus on his second passion, wildlife. Come for the announcement, stay for the video of a fox stealing brioche. (more…)
- Have You Played… Rayman Origins? - 2 September 2020
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Rayman is now a bit part player. Like Ubi stablemate Sam Fisher, his days of being the main attraction are over. Despite the quality of 2013’s Rayman Legends , the limbless wonder seems confined to making sporadic appearances in games that just aren’t as good as his own. Although, it’s not like Ray’s a stranger to a comeback. After many years on the shelf, his act was modernised in 2011 and we were gifted the exceptional Rayman Origins . (more…)
- The best platform games on PC - 27 November 2019
The biggest names in platforming used to live only on console, but it’s on PC now that the genre is thriving. Indies have taken the simple ingredients and spun them off in umpteen directions (but still normally from left to right). Below you’ll find a collection of the very best platform games on PC – including puzzle platformers, physics platformers, platformers with roguelike elements, and platformers about absolutely nothing but pixel-perfect jumping.

- Playing local multiplayer games over the internet with Steam works surprisingly well - 22 October 2019
Rayman Origins, played via Remote Play Together. I love a lot of local multiplayer games, but I'm rarely in the same room as the friends I want to play them with. Steam's new Remote Play Together feature , which is available in the beta client, looks to solve that enduring problem by jury-rigging online multiplayer into games which don't support it. And it works, somewhat amazingly. Only the host needs to own the game, and after they launch it, they can invite friends through the Steam friends list (just right click a friend's name and select 'Remote Play Together'). Once a remote player joins, the game is streamed to them in a fullscreen window. The difference between Remote Play Together and a regular broadcast is, of course, that it also gives viewers mouse and keyboard control, or recognizes their controller as one connected to the host's PC. …
- The Crew Isn t Free Yet So Grab Rayman Origins Now - 8 September 2016
Ubisoft have announced that the next game they will give away as part of their 30th birthday celebrations is mediocre racing game The Crew , so consider this a warning that you’ve only got another few days to grab the wonderful, lovely, delightful platformer Rayman Origins for free. …
- Rayman Origins is the next free "Ubi 30" game - 10 August 2016
Back in June, Ubisoft announced that it would give away a free game every month for the rest of the year as part of its celebration of 30 years in the business. First up was Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and then in July we got the stealth classic Splinter Cell . For August, Ubi is taking things in a slightly different direction. We could not celebrate Ubisoft 30th anniversary without talking about Rayman. Created in 1995 by Michel Ancel, Rayman is one of the few platforming characters that has been created at the 32-bit era that is still alive today, Ubisoft wrote in the blurb accompanying the freebie. Rayman 1 was released on Atari Jaguar and is today the Ubisoft game that has traveled across the most different platforms. The writeup also includes an interesting bit of trivia: Rayman was designed without arms and legs for the simple reason that arms and legs are really hard to…
- Are boss fights antiquated? - 25 April 2015
In Face Off , PC Gamer writers go head to head over an issue affecting PC gaming. Today, Tom and Wes argue about boss fights, which have been around nearly as long as video games themselves, and whether they re an outdated concept. Face off Wes Fenlon, Hardware editor Wes wants modern boss fights to be a bit more original. Tom Marks, Assistant editor Tom thinks boss fights are still a nice change of pace. Wes: YES. I ve played many great boss fights in my day, but far too many big games shoehorn in boss fights when they don t need them . Boss fights once made perfect video game sense in linear, side-scrolling levels. Get to the end of the stage, fight the big bad in charge, and move on to the next. And that s still fun! But as games have evolved with open worlds and non-linear levels and forms of gameplay more nuanced than shoot slash punch bad guy, boss fights don t fit as well. Biosho…

- The Trippiest Video Game Levels - 4 February 2013
Surreal stages, events, or gameplay that somehow just don't fit have always been present, and even expected. Their crazy graphics, weird aesthetics and ideas make sure that we have absolutely no idea what's going on. But they have their charm, they are funny, or they're simply part of the experience—and so we love them. We collected a bunch of them below.

- Drown Your Eyeballs in Rayman: Origins' Gorgeous Concept Art - 19 July 2012
That's it. No mahine guns today. No more giant robots, no post-apocalyptic landscapes, no bloodthirsty aliens. Today, we're looking at video game concept art that's so damn bright and cheerful it'll put more peps in your step than you'll know what to do with. It's all the work of Floriane Marchix, who is currently at Dreamworks but who used to be employed at Ubisoft, where she worked on the delightful Rayman Origins. You'll see a ton of stuff from that game, but I've thrown in plenty of personal work as well. Because it's great. You can see a lot more at Floriane's personal site . To see the larger pics in all their glory (or so you can save them as wallpaper), right-click on them below and select "open in new tab". Fine Art is a celebration of the work of video game artists, showcasing the best of both their professional and personal portfolios. If you're in the business and have some…
- Watch Stephen Colbert Do His Goofiest Dance Yet - 28 June 2012
It's very, very difficult not to dance to the " Lum King " music that plays at certain points in Rayman Origins . Those saxophones! That guiro! Stephen Colbert agrees, or at least… he likes to dance. So, okay, yes, this video mashup is totally silly, but also delightful. It makes me want to both play Rayman Origins and watch The Colbert Report . Two things that I want to do already, as it happens...
- Get Drunk and Slappy With This Ginned-Up Rayman: Origins Drinking Game - 22 May 2012
From the guys who brought you "Mario Party Down" , the excellent Mario Party drinking game (with some bonus Party Down references) comes "Rayman OriGin and Tonics." (Groan.) Yep. It's all gin, all the time. The game leverages the abusive nature of Rayman Origins ' co-op gameplay to get you as drunk as possible. Take four drinks of a G&T if you win? Wow. Something about this video, particularly the fact that they're just straight up mixing gin and tonic water in huge glasses without even ice or lime just makes it all look fairly wretched. But, if you were playing the game (and playing Rayman Origins with your friends, I have a feeling that after about twenty minutes you wouldn't really care how wretched you were being.

- Beyond Good & Evil 2 Probably Will Have to Wait for the Next Generation of Consoles, Alors - 7 May 2012
I speak a little bit of French. Just enough, in fact, to get the gist of what Rayman creator Michel Ancel is saying in this interview. The Ubisoft developer confirms work continues on the long-awaited sequel to cult favorite Beyond Good & Evil , but also says that it'll need better tech than is currently available. I'm paraphrasing here but Ancel basically says that the game is indeed being created he can't say when it's coming or for which platforms. He also says that the game needs-either better or more—technology to succeed and, when asked if Mirror's Edge was an influence on BGE2 , that the work seen in the trailer was completed before he was aware of the EA first-person-platformer. Ancel elaborates that BGE2 will have a very dynamic camera system which will make it seem as if the action is being filmed live. This detail fits with BGE heroine Jade's role as a journalist. But,…
- Marketing Survey Hints at a Rayman Origins Sequel of Mythic Proportions - 23 April 2012
Ubisoft's critically acclaimed platformer Rayman Origins is going to get a sequel; it's pretty much inevitable. What form that sequel will take might be hinted at in these screens taken from a marketing survey by one of our readers, hinting at a world filled with dragons, ghosts and Greek gods. Rayman Origins received rave reviews, and Ubisoft has been on record as saying the game turned a profit for the company. The trick now is to take that amazing gameplay and package it in a way that appeals to the consumer. Ghosts, dragons and mythology might do the trick. These images, sent to us by an anonymous tipster who stumbled upon them in a survey from marketing firm Arkenford (Ubisoft is one of its regular clients), point towards a Rayman Origins sequel that retains the same four-player drop-in/drop-out gameplay of the original, while trading the first game's outlandish world for something…
- Now Available - Rayman Origins - 29 March 2012
Rayman Origins is Now Available on Steam! Experience the magical universe and legendary 2D gameplay that captured the hearts of millions of fans! When the Glade of Dreams is overrun by “nefurrious” Darktoons, the Fairy Council hastily invokes Rayman to save the day; but the hero of light isn’t quite all there. To help him, Rayman teams up with his best friend, Globox, and two crafty wizards, the Teensies. Together, the world’s most hilarious team of heroes will need to restore peace to the Glade, or watch as their beloved home vanishes like a bad dream.
