Ubisoft Talks About Rayman and the Music of Rabbids Go Home
November 5, 2009 | 11:07 AM PST
Ubisoft's Rabbids Go Home is finally available, and Game Informer caught up with Creative Producer Jacques Exertier to talk about the making of the game and the Rabbids themselves in an interview.
One question asked is one on the minds of numerous gamers every time a new Rabbids game is announced: what about Rayman?
"Rayman is still alive and well," Jacques assures everyone. "I'm sure he'll be pleased to hear you asked about him. He and the raving Rabbids are best enemies. Sometimes we manage to get them together for a few 'Bwaaaahs!' and flying fists, and the rest of the time they each carry on with their everyday lives, just as the raving Rabbids do in Rabbids Go Home."
Another question asks why the developers chose some older hit music, such as "Louie, Louie" and "Kingston Town" for the game.
"We wanted the human/Rabbid contrast to be present in the music, too," Jacques says. "For the Rabbid music, we chose a Moldavian brass band whose energy and immediacy were perfect. In fact, you could use the same adjective to describe the Rabbids and the music that goes with them."
"For the humans we chose oldies, but goldies from the 60s and 70s for their formatted, clean-cut, perky, bubblegum aspect, and also because they date from a time when the consumer society was being pushed as the only possible route to happiness."
