Talk:Rayman 1: Difference between revisions

One thing I noticed while browsing the wiki over the last few days is that informaton on the Jaguar version of the game is lacking on a lot of pages. Some of the later Rayman ports such as Rayman DSI and Rayman Advance have their own articles, despite having less differences in than the Jaguar version of the game, which is effectively a prototype of the other ports. I propose a seperate article is made for the Jaguar version that is linked to here, that fully documents the differences in each world compared to the other ports, and adds some details on it's development. I would happily write it, but since it's a large change to the Rayman 1 tree of articles (being the only 1995 port to have it's own page if I go ahead), I thought I'd raise it as a suggestion first :) --[[User:Electoon|Electoon]] [[File:Fly.png]] 17:21, 5th September 2017 (GMT)

: I was considering doing the same for the PlayStation version on Rayman 2, though eventually thought it would be best to leave the differences for the more specific articles, like the level ones. However, that makes finding this information harder since it's more fragmentet (and there's no place to write general info, such as music, visual and animation changes). I did write a section at the bottom of the article about some general differences between ports, though there was no way I could easily cover them all there without making this article too long. The Jaguar version is indeed the most unique one with a ton of differences. I think the only reason it doesn't currently have its own article is due to it being one of the first versions of the game (and it not having a different name, which oddly enough is usually a big reason for new articles), therefor considered by many to be the "original" version (which is of course the version which should be the general one for the main Rayman 1 article). However, the PlayStation and PC versions have since become the most common ones, and were also released during the same time period. So generally speaking I think the PlayStation and PC (as well as Saturn I guess) versions are the original versions of "Rayman 1". As a conclusion, I'm personally fine with having a separate article for it unless anyone else has any objections. Also, I think it's best not the refer to it as a "port" in that case since it's not really a port of any previous version. It should be enough to call it the "Atari Jaguar version". --[[File:Carrot signature.png|75px|link=User:Carrot-master]] 17:35, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
