Speculating/theorizing/hoping/predicting things about Rayman Legends Retold (Day 22/31);
…So…they revealed Betilla’s redesign in game…I actually kinda like it.
The design definitely fits the mother-figure character she has now, and I like to think her redesign might be an homage to the fairy from the original animated Pinocchio! You know, the fairy who was animated with rotoscope and looked near-realistic compared to the cartoony Disney characters.
If this is an intentional reference to that, it makes the redesign make a LOT more sense…
Even if, compared to Barbara, she looks way too human. They could’ve at least kept the hat and the colour pallet of her bird form.

OH MY POLOKUS, NEW CINEMATIC IN A NEW SHORT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH-
Oh, it becomes an awkward silence with just the ‘notify me’ button to tell people to remember that tomorrow is the review trailer…honestly, that was pretty hilarious AND we got a look at a cutscene we saw in a previous screenshot!
Anyways, according to the description of the overview trailer, the voice actress for Barbara (also known as…Elana Dunkelman?…pretty unique name, ngl) will be hosting the overview trailer. It makes me wonder if it’s just the voice actress going through the content of the game or if she’ll voice Barbara as Barbara herself takes you through the game.
Either way, I find it interesting Ubisoft chose her to showcase the content, as opposed to David Gasman who is the voice of Rayman. I guess since this is the first time Barbara’s gotten a proper voice you’d want her voice actress to take centre stage…but I at least hope the other voice actors get a mention, or even a cameo!
…Anyways, let’s make this post even longer with a list of things I want to be shown off in the overview trailer!
- At least one of the boss fights to finally clear up the stupid ‘ThE bOsSeS hAvE bEeN rEpLaCeD bY cHaSe LeVeLs!’ bullshit.
- A reveal for the new villains name.
- One or two or more cutscenes.
- A new look at the other dragon ride stages.
- (Obviously) some surprise reveals no one knew about before.
- A brief look into all the side characters and their purpose (mainly referring to Betilla).
- MURPHY’S TOUCH BETTER HAVE BEEN REMOVED OR I SWEAR TO POLOKUS-
-A look at the new maps in Kung Foot EVO.
- A look at some of the new costumes.
Wednesday’s post will focus on what we learned in the overview trailer, while tomorrow will just be things I somehow successfully predicted.

Maybe with the extra time they have, they can fix this little error in the first image…
Anyways, I love how each boss seems like they’ll have their own personalities!
Grunderbite is the strong woman, the Giant Toad is the one with anger issues, El Luchador’s the silly, dumb, and egotistical one, the new villain is the mastermind, and as for the other two…we’ll have to wait and see.
Speculating/theorizing/hoping/predicting things about Rayman Legends Retold (Day 19/31);
Apologies for being a little late (I really need to start keeping a better track of time…or set an alarm…or both.
Anyways, I feel like this area here is either from a new music level (which is unlikely since I think they’d save on for the new sixth world and you probably saw my post on one of the other potential new ones) or it’s from the hub-world of the fifth world.
I say this because, correct me if I’m wrong, the only times we’ve seen the camera do this 3d tracking of the characters is in both the music levels and the huh worlds.
That, or this is just a standard level and I’m overthinking it.
Speculating/theorizing/hoping/predicting things about Rayman Legends Retold (Day 18/31);
So, obviously they trimmed a LOT out of the original Legends.
Murphy’s touch is most likely (and hopefully) gone, Back to Origins is gone since the games already bundled with Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, the lum thresholds are gone since lums are now just currency for the cosmetics, and the Creatures are also most likely gone because I guarantee no one cares about them.
With this in mind, the game should and BETTER BE easier than ever to 100%. Anyone who’s played the original Legends can agree the game is an absolute NIGHTMARE to 100%, so it’s nice to see another flaw of the original be improved here…
Anyways, here’s a picture showing the lum counter is back for some reason…eh, at least the animation is 2x faster than it was in the original.
Speculating/theorizing/hoping/predicting things about Rayman Legends Retold (Day 17(31);
Every other boss in the game TOWERS over Rayman and his friends…and yet the new villain is around there height?
What if he uses his magic not only to attack the hero’s, but also to transform into a larger creature, like a large wyvern or phoenix? I highly doubt he’s Mr. Dark because they look too different, but the new villain could still transform into something else. If Betilla’s a shape-shifter, why not him?
Speculating/theorizing/hoping/predicting things about Rayman Legends Retold (Day 16/31);
Early footage from a content creator who played the game early was sent yesterday and the damage has been done! With that being said, this hope thing on my list is one that a genuinely hope the fix during the two month delay.
In the gameplay footage, we got a look at the third boss with El Luchador and…I don’t know why, but it looks off to me.
Maybe it’s too zoomed out, maybe the liquid chilli should have physics when El Luchador moves to attack, maybe the lightings a little too dim, I don’t know! Something about it just looks off to me and I don’t know why.
El Luchador himself is as expressive as he was in the original and there chips and seasoning in the chilli is a really nice background detail, but I think the boss fight needs some tweaks, mainly just zooming in the camera and brightening the arena a bit. I get why it’s more dim in the remake, since it matches the tone of Rayman 3 more, but I don’t think it really works in a fight when you literally have SPOTLIGHTS SHINING ON YOU DURING THE FIGHT.
(Also sorry for the poor screenshot quality, I promise the quality is a lot better in the actual video you can find a link to in the Rayman Pirate Community).
Also also, as you can notice, the prediction days have shrunken from 94 to 31. This is because my FINAL prediction shall be a sort of mini celebration of the original release date…or a memorial, your choice.
Speculating/theorizing/hoping/predicting things about Rayman Legends Retold (Day 15/94);
Yep…94 days of predictions…what am I doing with my life?
Anyways, it’s not just me who thinks that Ales Mansray will be piloting the mechanical dragon, right? I mean, he’s the guy who built that entire factory and that robot Carnivora and Bird from Origins. Machines are basically his cup of tea! Honestly, I’d be shocked if he WASN’T piloting the mechanical dragon.

So…progress on the secret video (also known as my very late 500 sub special) is a bit slow…
what do you want to fill the time?
