Gourt Home::Gourt :: Rayman Raving Rabbids
Rayman Raving Rabbids is the fourth major installment in the popular Rayman series. The game's development is being led by Michel Ancel, original creator of Rayman, at Ubisoft's Montpellier studio. Ubisoft released two short teaser trailers * of the game for the Electronic Entertainment Exposition 2006, but did not release a workable demo. The game was brainstormed whilst Montpellier worked on the King Kong video game, and began full development shortly after King Kong went gold.
Description
According to Ubisoft's official press release:
"When his world is threatened by a devastating invasion of crazed, out-of-control bunnies, Rayman must rise up against these furry foes and foil their wicked plans. Using an array of amazing new abilities, and with the help of magical creatures, Rayman will need to break out all his best moves to save his world from these delirious bunnies and their hare-raising antics."
Release
The game will be available for both current and next generation consoles in the fourth quarter of 2006. It will be a launch title for Nintendo's Wii.
Features
- The game will feature 'around ten' vast, free-roaming environments.
- Rayman can manipulate sharks, eagles, rhinos, spiders, angelfish, among others, to fight rabbids or use them as a means of transportation.
- Rayman can change his appearance to reflect those of punk, pop, rock, or hip hop, goth and others. When the right dance costume is used, Rayman can hypnotise certain rabbids. The Wii version will also require the player to dance in rhythm, using the wii remote. Each costume will apparently also give Rayman other abilities dependant on the costume, althought what the powers are exactly has not been said.
- The Wii version of the game will have a heavily modified set of controls to make use of the wii remote.
- The game will follow an 'absurd, cliché plotline', whilst still developing existing characters. It is also meant to be the darkest plot in the series. *
- 'Most of the loved characters' will return, but will be used for the rabbids' 'strange purposes'. However, these are not yet to be fully identified, and may have in fact been mentioned as an example of cliché plotlines. *
