Rayman M Yamakasi.

[incognito]

I just have a question to ask.

Anyone else here have a Yamakasi teaser the first time they launch Rayman M ?

[saerleiya]

First, I don't know this teaser at all. Second, I guess a lot of people here don't know about Yamakasi at all. So be clearer and explain what a Yamakasi is for them...

So, by the logic that the page is about a French movie, I deduce that what your looking for is a French teaser trailor?

No, i was wondering if someone but me already saw a yamakasi teaser when Rayman M is launched for the first time.
Well, i have a WAREZ version. Maybe the hacker added the Yamakasi trailer as a sig for his "exploit".

This movie is not exceptional actually (in terms of movie standards), but it was the first movie which really featured the sport nowadays known as Parkour, and helped develop its practice and fame in France.

Is this what you're looking for? I found it hidden in the Rayman M's PC version files of the CDs:

[saerleiya]

Waoh. They really put the yamakasi trailer here?

[Haruka]

It does is present in the CD files, but it was never played in-game.

Fortunately. I don't know why exactly Ubisoft put Yamakasi trailer in a Rayman CD.

Maybe it should be added in the Wiki.

Basically, the story is the following:

In the suburbs of Paris, a group of friends specialized in using the urban structures to move around are playing with the police forces.
But one day, a young boy tries to do the same as them, and ends up being hospitalized. In order to save him, his family has to find 400 000 dollars in the span of one day for a heart transplantation.
The friends then decide to go into Robin Hood mode and steal gold and jewels to very wealthy people so they can gather enough money to save the boy.

And that's it.

Who knows why did they do it. Perhaps there was some deal going on but nothing came out in the end but they still kept trailer on disc. Or maybe trailer does play from game but nobody figured it out how.

Maybe it was just a thing at UbiSoft at that time to put unrelated stuff on game CDs. Remember the track from Edward Scissorhands in Rayman 3?

[Haruka]

Ubisoft surely had some strange partnerships back in the Rayman 2 era. Just remember the hip-hop song with that obscure group.

[OCG]

I guess they were trying out to see if something can benefit them and Rayman as a franchise.

[saerleiya]

Just remember the hip-hop song with that obscure group.

May I have a link to that, please? I should be able to gather some intel quickly. I'm French after all .

Okay forget what I said.

But I loved the song and the clip anyway. Yes, it's an unknown rap duo for most of us, but do you know a lot of games featured in rap songs?

Although a French rapper made a song about the Scarface game some years ago, but it was abit mroe appropriate to the genre.

Negative. When im launching the game for the first time (after the installation) before tha Ubi-Soft logo there is the yamakasi trailer.

Really? It never happened to me in my copy, and yet the file is present on my disc.
