Our license does indeed forbid the use of our content for commercial purposes, but given how nice it is of Ubi to allow us to provide the Rayman community with high-quality content, I'll take it as a token of appreciation rather than a ruthless copy of our work.PluMGMK wrote: Sat May 04, 2019 1:14 pm Well, there it is then. Since Ubisoft is basically doing it for commercial reasons, it's kind of not-legally-sound. But I'm sure if we called them on it they'd question the legality of our whole operation, with all the images and music we're hosting.
Yeah, that was basically the nail in the coffin for me about the whole Bzitt/Moskito thing in Rayman 1. Suddenly there are up to four friendly ones, all named Moskito! Notice that Origins came out when RayWiki was only a few years old, and so the feedback loop hadn't arisen yet!
In my opinion this is more than a possibility!PluMGMK wrote: Sat May 19, 2018 9:41 pmThis is nothing that hasn't been mentioned before, but I think it might deserve its own topic: there is some official Ubisoft material that looks suspiciously like RayWiki was consulted during its production.
The purple Moskito is what we call the incorrectly colored Moskito on the Wiki. As for Rayman Origins they must have referred to the original game, and maybe to the wrong character since the name Bzitt is pointed out in the Rayman Classic achievement.PluMGMK wrote: Sat May 19, 2018 9:41 pmFirstly, there's the list of achievements in Rayman Classic. "Bye bye Bzitt" is the achievement to "Defeat Bzitt in Anguish Lagoon". This despite the fact that for the many years of existence of Rayman 1 prior to this port, there was absolutely no official indication that a character named Bzitt appeared in that game. Although this position was adopted by the wiki, the official line as recently as Rayman Origins seemed to be that the name "Moskito" applied to all mosquitos ridden in 2D games – just look at the level names, like "Hi-Ho Moskito".
I agree though, they must have read the Wiki to make the distinction between Bzzit and Moskito in Rayman Classic, because there's none in Origins.That would be quite silly if Ubisoft was attempting to troll us.PluMGMK wrote: Sat May 19, 2018 9:41 pmThe other matter is the existence of the character Shadow Ray. It would not have been hard for someone visiting this site to notice that the Bad/Dark Rayman distinction can be something of a sore point around here, and the confusion caused by Raymésis in Origins and Dark Rayman in Legends would probably also not go unnoticed. So perhaps the developers noted this and created this character to troll us? It's the best explanation I can come up with for why they would do it tbh!
I can imagine the surprise, and that's actually awesome to be honest!PluMGMK wrote: Sat May 19, 2018 9:41 pmIt's not like this sort of thing is unprecedented in this community. L'Histoire de Rayman, although obviously not worked on by Ubisoft themselves, was written with some consultation of the wiki. And it's not like the inclusion of fan material was foolproof – imagine my surprise when I found a screenshot of one of my videos in the book, as an illustration of Rayman Designer, despite the fact that it shows a game hacked six ways till Sunday and so was entirely unsuitable.
Yeah I had indeed recreated this from their artwork with the white background since the RayWiki image looked strange having that background, but found it interesting that they used this render instead of their own. It definitely matches and is the same render, as are the others.Elite Piranha wrote: Thu Dec 29, 2022 9:15 pm That's weird, I mean they have used that artwork of Globox before, but with a different background:

Maybe someone was not given the files, and in a hurry they had to use images from the internet?
The day that the junior tech writer at Ubisoft realized that RayWiki was not part of Ubisoft...
Do we have a list of those?Hunchman801 wrote: Fri Jun 02, 2023 4:50 pm Maybe this is the occasion to write about this on the wiki? I don't think either the "rewards" or "challenges" included in the Ubisoft Connect versions are mentioned anywhere. And, speaking of the challenges, should we have articles for them the same way we have articles for achievements? Or should they be grouped together? I'm not really sure why they're different things in the first place.
No, but I have asked RayCarrot if he knows of some way to extract them. If anyone has the games and wants to share the list here, this would work too!
