Still, none but the very youngest players will mistake Rayman 3 HD for a current generation title. Textures often have an embossed appearance that adds a nice layer of tactile reality to Rayman's lush fantasy landscape - check out the Rayman 3 HD announcement trailer for examples. There is a painterly touch to the game's texture design and color pallet which always looked nice - there has never been a bad-looking Rayman game - but really shines in high definition.
Rayman 3 HD runs in widescreen at a constant 60 frames per second, and the game's textures have been lovingly updated for current consoles. It should come as no surprise that Rayman 3's visuals benefit most from the HD upgrade. Has time (and technology) been kind to Rayman's third adventure? Read our review. The result, Rayman 3 HD, is now available from PSN and XBLA. History has pretty well sorted out which is the better game. Still, in the wake of the positively brilliant Rayman: Origins, Ubisoft has turned to the same team responsible for Beyond Good & Evil HD to update Rayman 3. Ancel, notably, was not involved, having moved on to Beyond Good & Evil. Enter Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, a highly commercial, big budget 3D platformer with voice work from Ice Age's John Leguizamo as Rayman's pal Globox. Four years later, Rayman 2: The Great Escape brought the limbless protagonist into 3D for the first time, and managed the unlikely feat of being even better than the first game, raising the bar set by Mario 64 a few years earlier.ĭespite the accolades piled on Ancel's work, Rayman lagged in popularity behind Nintendo's portly plumber, a situation Ubisoft was no doubt eager to change. Rayman first appeared in an eponymous, hyper-colorful side scrolling platformer back in 1995, and promptly established Ubisoft's Michel Ancel as one of the most gifted designers in the industry.
