“I think it’s been tried. I think it’s a game that’s really difficult to remake, and I think, in a way, the answer to remaking Rayman 1 is Rayman Origins, and we went through those arguments internally.
Rayman Origins is sort of a reboot of Rayman 1. There are some of the characters, some of the places. (Rayman 1 is) super slow and very old school game design, but if you start changing that, the metrics, the sense of speed, it’s another game. It’s Origins
I would call it near a mission impossible to remake Rayman 1, honestly. That’s why, when we decided to celebrate the 30th anniversary, we felt that keeping Rayman 1 as intact as it was, going for a bit more of a documentary approach, how the franchise was born, was a better angle.”
