Episode 3 information

[edit]

that's it 76.95.237.242 (talk) 05:45, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cover Artwork/Box Art

[edit]

This article talks about Episodes One and Two, but I find that the article shows only one artwork of only Episode One. Is it necessary for the article to show both two artworks of both Episodes One and Two? If so, I have found artworks courtesy of Giant Bomb. Discuss here.

That's it. 50.113.156.51 (talk) 23:46, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Necessary Information?

[edit]

"It is also possible that the glowing eyes are that of the monstrosity Cthulhu from H.P. Lovecraft's short story The Call of Cthulhu; this has been suggested because of the mention of Lovecraft's name in the original Penny-Arcade post on the game."

Is this bit about the eyes in the promo possibly belonging to Cthulhu really necessary? It seems almost silly, or an off-handed association. PaZuZu 03:13, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like original research, I can't find any cite for it... Maracle 08:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While it does seem like original research, there are countless Penny-Arcade references to the Cthulhu. If a source can be found, I consider it relevant info CKnapp 09:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IMO it does look to be the Fruit Fucker. At the bottom it says "I'm coming", which you could also see in one of their comics. Also, in a news post, Gabe says "Is this just a shirt, or is it’s a terrifying vision of our future?", which could be a reference to the game. --Lord Kelvin 00:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Considering recent art of OTRSPOD have shown an ancient Fruit Fucker with simliar eyes, as well as Fruit Fucker being depicted in many "recent" works with simliar eyes, I think it's fair to say that the eyes are soley meant to reflect on the Fruit Fucker. The Title however the title seems to have ties to Lovecraft (although I always just attributed it towards Hokins talent for wordplay)24.17.214.242 03:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Source material

[edit]

I added external links to a press release, a comic, and 2 blog entries regarding this game. That plus the Kotaku article already in the external links section are good source material to expand this stub. No time to do it now, I'll try to get back to it but if anyone else feels the urge =) Maracle 08:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Platforms

[edit]

Any chance it will be availavle in the PSN shop or Xbox Live Marketplace? I don't do much computer gaming, but love PA, if it ends up on a console, even though they don't seem to like the PS3, I'm still hoping there's a possibility. (But if it goes to Xbox and not PS3, I'll just be pissed) Midgitboy 16:31, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note, these are pages are typically for talking about the article. While your question is of merit for the article, it was phrased in far less "encyclopedic" way. And, no I cannot answer your question, sorry. ;) CKnapp 08:18, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You need to make it "encyclopedic" in the talk section too? I thought it was for asking/talking about the subject the page is about Midgitboy 15:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The talk page is about the article. So, discussions regarding possible platforms are relevant to the article (thus, belong on talk page), but your post is a bit more of a forum post. Hope that helps.
That being said, since they are releasing the game as episodic downloads, I would expect that it would be a PC only game. They could release it through the XBox/PS3 stores as well, but I find it unlikely. CKnapp 20:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks, and sorry about my style of writing, I'm a bit of a forum junkie... -Midgitboy 15:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I forgot to explain my edit on the Steam post. Here's a source to support the claim: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/53098. -[[User::Stoffer217|Stoffer217]] 2:29 am, 12 June 2007 (+1 GMT)

Free advertising in my Wiki?

[edit]

It's more likely than you think.

Isn't The Creature...

[edit]

Fruit F*cker Prime?

In the latest issue of PC Gaming, it has a huge segment on the game, talking about how Fruit F*cker Prime was to be a main villain.

New Gametrailers trailer

[edit]

Gabe today posted a new trailer [1] to the game. Should we include this in the footer?

Nope, because GameTrailers[2] has changed the site since June 27, 2012, so you can't find the trailer you're looking for to be used in this article. FYI, 76.95.237.242 (talk) 05:40, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Source for Ep 2?

[edit]

I see there's a section on Ep2. Do we have a source we can post for this?

Don't think so, so I'm gonna pull it. It's probably true, but that's not the issue here. It's quite clearly OR and until we have a reliable source somewhere other than the trailer they stuck at the end of the game, it's gonna need to go. Maratanos (talk) 19:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
http://www.gametrailers.com/gametrailerstv_player.php?ep=38&sd=1&ch=1 This link discusses Episode 2 and it's release date. Discuss. YuushaFan (talk) 12:53 GMT -6:00, 13 September 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.41.150.59 (talk)
This link [3] is broken, because GameTrailers [4] has changed the site since June 27, 2012, so you can't use it anymore. Our apologies. 76.95.237.242 (talk) 05:42, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes

[edit]

While I tend to doubt policy backs up their inclusion, I do know that you can't just delete something because you think somebody else included it because they liked it. The linked essay was, other than being an essay, outside of jurisdiction given that the article is not up for deletion, and ultimately, unless a more sound justification for their removal is included, it's just an "I don't like it" to match the "I like it". If anyone has an ACTUAL justification, I won't stand in the way. Maratanos (talk) 21:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trailers

[edit]

I cleaned it up a little bit, but the whole section feels a little redundant. Anyone feel like weighing in? Maratanos (talk) 21:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spoilers?

[edit]

Shouldn't the "Plot" section be preceded by a spoiler warning? It gives the plot to the whole game. Jimmy (talk) 23:42, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, actually. See here and here. Maratanos (talk) 00:38, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Voice credit

[edit]

Does anyone know who voices the narrator? Kouban (talk) 20:13, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While I would personally place my bet on Malcolm McDowell, I can find no reference that it is indeed him, no reference that is is not him, and no reference of who it actually is. And while it would be somewhat fitting with Mr. McDowell's style, it sounds more like an imitation of McDowell than anything else. --Human.v2.0 (talk) 02:59, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
