message: I am not sure if it should be mentioned on the page. There has been no news on the translation - and at this point it is a piece of trivia that seems less and less relevant. Not that I don't believe it will be ever be finished (my bet is on never, though), but when will it cease to be relevant? If in ten years, there is still no translation, should it still be on the page? I believe it does not belong to an "wikipedic" article anymore - since the translation is not done, it is only relevant if it is news. As such, the project seems to have stalled, so I don't see why it should stay on the page. I am not trying to "punish" the project team for not finishing up, but I just don't see what it has to do on the page anymore. Willing to discuss, though - I am not trying to flame..  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.119.232.226 (talk) 23:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

message: As you know Meryl is leading Fox-Hound in MGS4. Her team though has two members who have the same names as her team in Policenauts (Ed and Johnathon) with the unknown man speculated to be Dave.

;What should I do?
Don't panic; you should have time to contest the deletion (although please review deletion guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.
* If the image is non-free then you may need to provide a fair use rationale
* If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale, then it cannot be uploaded or used.
* If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Deletion Review

replies: text: I can clarify that, since I've added scores from the magazine into some articles. It's X number out of 5.0. Roberth Martinez (talk) 18:06, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, they're all out of 5. Their writing level is kind of young teenager-y and their reviews are really superficial. They just give an overview of the plot/gameplay, and then half a page or more of images and "tips". They're good for overviews and not so much the game. That same mag also has a "finals" section, and in one they spend a page describing the ending of Policenauts. I also added Ultima Generaction, which is a proper 2 page review of the 3D0 Version, and some Famitsu webpage reviews. The Ultima Generacion review should be placed on par with the GameFan review, and the English language previews should be removed. Reception should just be for actual reviews, not previews. 
A note about Famitsu is that they're constantly updating their database, so they will eventually add reviews for the 3DO version, so periodically check those pages. They're also moving towards a new database system where instead of merely quoting their old reviews, they fully post them. An example is the PS version of Front Mission. 
Also, Gameside put out a 2-3 part series on Adventure games called Adventure Gameside. Might be worth to invest in. It's all Japanese. Likely would cover this game, Snatcher, and maybe Clock Tower. Also, the Japanese Wikipedia cites several Guidebooks. The text from the JP wikipedia can be translated and moved over here, and you can just add a notice on the talk page.
