Talk:Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex

message: I have read on quite a few fan websites that the PS2 platinum version of this game is supposed to have shorter level loading times (here for example). If anyone knows this to be true and can reference it to a credible game review site could we add this to the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.50.228 (talk) 23:19, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Don't you think it's pretty long? I'll leave in the important parts, but do we really need "brainless orange marsupial" in there? The synopsis seems to be somewhat POV... I'd clean it up, but I think I'd make it too short.
If you haven't noticed, the brainless orange marsupial part is in those double apostrophe things, which means that's what a character in the game believes, so technically it's not really POV. Just wanted to point that out. Cat's Tuxedo 17:12, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello On crash bandicoot: wrath of cortex’s, wiki page there is no section on `Development` of the game. There is some very interesting articles stating that Mark Cerny was going to design this game as he had designed all the original games and Sony was going to publish it, but Universal Interactive fell out with them both and travellers tales (the development team) had to go from a free roaming game to a standard Crash game with a reduced time-line - 12 months - and having to design the game themselves from scratch.
 
It would be very, very helpful if this could be stated on the wiki page with a `Development` section as all the other crash games have this section but this does not, and not many people know this. If any evidence is required go on to Crash Mania on the games section and click on wrath of cortex mysteries as well as "Gamasutra interview with Jon Burton (the head of travellers tales)"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.3.240.208 (talk) 17:10, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia seems to believe Sales numbers equal commercial success. Crash Wrath of Cortex was a financial disappointment. Including being made fun of  IN the sequel came because the game did not sell within expectations. The sales on the platforms it was available on eventually reached a high number but they had already lost money before that point.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leeroyhim (talk • contribs) 02:30, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Per WP:V, sourced sales numbers are more reliable than your unsourced recollection of an in-game joke, but feel free to return if you can provide actual sources.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 03:21, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: In all fairness I think he does have a point here.  A million seller is not automatically commercially successful and we do not actually have a source that states it was a success.  I am going to take out the words "commercial success." The rest of what he says is certainly original research though, so we likewise cannot say it was a "financial disappointment" without a source.

message: The article's "Release and reception" section has too many direct quotes from sources, especially within three of the four paragraphs, so I've placed the  tag there. I propose improving the section by simply removing or paraphrasing the quotes (either by myself or someone else). – Hounder4 05:38, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I paraphrased the best I could, seeing as I have never played this game and have zero interest in it. My main concern is tidying up, or delisting, Good Articles with Tags on them. I am far from happy with the result here. About 2/3 of the reviews are saying the same thing, that the game offers nothing new from the previous ones. Why this can't be consolidated I don't know. It was a tedious read before and is still one now. It is all over the show. I will tag it for a copy edit as I cannot bear to go through it again. I won't reassess it just yet, but will revisit it the next time I run through the cleanup list. AIRcorn (talk) 01:13, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps it would help to replace certain reviews restating certain opinions with those that provide other thoughts. In any case, at least it's not overfilled with quotes now. Snuggums (talk / edits) 01:19, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah it is better. Just as I was going through it I felt like each reveiwer was saying the same thing, just different quotes were being pulled. A paragraph about how it was not much different to its predecessor, followed by a paragraph on other review aspects would probably be the way to go. I don't know the game, but given my read through this seems to be the main conclusion so it should probably be emphasised, just not in the haphazard way it is now. AIRcorn (talk) 01:25, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I've fully beaten the game more than once and could probably help scout out different highlights. It could take some time to find new things to emphasize, though, as the internet wasn't nearly as advanced when this game was released as it is now. Snuggums (talk / edits) 02:07, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Just consolidated the comments about repeating previous games' elements here. Hopefully it helps. Snuggums (talk / edits) 02:27, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Much better. Good enough for a good article at least. If you are interested in this I came across similar issues at L.A. Noire. A lot more paragraphs though. AIRcorn (talk) 02:49, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Glad you feel it was an improvement. Not sure how I'd go about that other article, though (if at all). Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:21, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
