See Rayman Origins demonstrated and explained by Michel Ancel and Gabrielle Shrager.

Ubisoft's Rayman Origins is not just one of the best looking titles of E3 but it has also become one of the most anticipated games thanks to its mix of 2D platforming, gorgeous visuals and old school Rayman gameplay. GameSpot spoke to Ubisoft's Michel Ancel and Gabrielle Shrager, the series creator and game's scriptwriter respectively, at E3 to learn more about the game.

In the interview Mr. Ancel and Ms. Shrager discuss the origins of Rayman Origins and Mr. Ancel talks about how while in the process of designing Rayman Origins, in which up to four players can participate in this 2D platformer, both LittleBigPlanet and New Super Mario Bros. Wii came out and reaffirmed his desire to make this title. Fans of the original titles will not only be pleased to see the return of classic Rayman gameplay but also learn that the difficulty level is still quite high.

The full interview discusses much more and is well worth watching, if not for the Rayman Origins footage alone.
