I don't know why, but the art gives me a weird sort of Skullmonkeys vibe.

The art syle looks more... I want to say watercolorish. And going for a more Greek feel? Kind of a strange choice, but I'm interested to see where hey go with it.
@X 2 X:Actually, Ubisoft said that RO has turned a profit for them.

Well, that's great then.
It underperformed at first, but thanks to a price drop and word of mouth, it became a long-tail seller. Turning a profit + critically acclaimed + project that got Ubisoft on happy terms with Michel Ancel again = sequel bait.
Too bad it's yet another distraction from what everyone wants to see out of him...
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaMore like "while people don't mind Rayman, they'd rather see a BG&E sequel first."
"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarI believe Rayman Origins was done as a side project at first. Is that accurate?
@X 2 X: Exactly. I love the hell out of Origins, but BG&E2 has been in development for so freaking long, and they've been teasing us with it for so many years, I wish Ancel would just clear out the side-projects and extra things and just work full-time on BG&E2. I'd be more than happy to wait for Origins 2 if it means BG&E2 will release sometime not long after the first game's tenth birthday.

Seems a bit more 2.5D than the original, though. Still, I'll probably get this.

Lampshade Hanging: It's a lifestyle.We got new screenshots!
Either all the character models are in 3D, or they're using a much better shader.
Also, a trailer
. Musics ehhh, but it looks like we might be getting an online mode.
And we also have a potential name. Rayman Legends, anybody?
