Assessment[edit]

There's two "Settings" under Plot? The Development section could use an expansion. There's also not a Release section. The GAN reviewers will tell you of any other issues and they give you time to fix them as well as suggestions. --JDC808 ♫ 19:23, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken care of everything except the release section. What sort of information that isn't already covered by the article would be included in the section? McJEFF (talk) 06:14, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-GA review[edit]

I saw this listed on WP:GAN. There's a pretty major concern with sourcing. The Gameplay section, the Characters section, and the Development section all have no references at all. This issue was raised in the 2006 peer review but it looks like it still hasn't been addressed. There are a lot of sources, but it really needs someone to go through and map the sources to the assertions made in the unreferenced sections. Without said citations, certainly the gameplay section borders on original research, and it is a requirement of the GA criteria (specifically 2c) that articles shouldn't contain OR. Hope that helps. —Tom Morris (talk) 16:40, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fail

  • The lead does not summarise the subject.
  • The article is not broad or focused enough -
    • Very little reception.
    • Very little development.
  • Could do with a screenshot to demonstrate the gameplay and graphics.
  • Reconsider the plot section. Right now, the plot is split into various sections, some of which overlap. It would be better to have plot told in chronological prose rather than in random bits in character biographies.
  • Sections are unbalanced, it needs an editor in a traditional sense to give the correct weighting to the sections. Why is there a one line "Sexuality" section for example? The Controversy section would work better if it were not split up into geographies, and instead presented a narrative for the reader through the themes.
  • There is no consistency to the article. The reception section for the original game has no connection to the reception section of the Scholarship edition. The reviews box is used in the original reception, so why not in the latter section?
  • Sourcing is an issue throughout the article. Whereas it could be understood that the game is the primary source for the plot and gameplay, the development section is blank. The reception section also opens up with a list of reviews, some of which may not be from reliable sources, and even if they are, may not be the best ones to use.

In conclusion - the article needs an editor. It needs an authorial voice to go through the article and to ensure its consistency and comprehensiveness. Right now, it reads like disjointed elements with no real connection to the rest of the content. This needs significant work before being Good Article material. - hahnchen 18:35, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Remaster or Remake?[edit]

I don't understand why this IP insists that the Scholarship Edition is a remake and not a remaster. They don't appear to have any sources to back it up. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) 20:32, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Only a port with higher-res textures, not a remake whatsoever. Just warn the IP for every wrong edit it does and report them after their fifth. Lordtobi (✉) 20:37, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Release Dates source?[edit]

Is there any source for the release dates listed here?
All I can find indicates that Canis Canem Edit was released on the 27th of October in Europe, and I can't find anything about Australia. SimonBestia (talk) 18:31, 23 October 2021 (UTC) [1] [2][reply]
