Talk:Wipeout (video game series)

message: The article has been renamed to Psygnosis game series despite not being developed by Psygnosis for most of its life, From 2002 to 2013 it was SCE Studio Liverpool and its now technically owned by XDEV. The vast majority of people who look for Wipeout (series) will be looking for this and not the lesser-known game show video game adaptation so I personally didn't see anything wrong with just moving the article to Wipeout (video game series) or keeping it as 1995 video game series.

replies: text: Agree with this proposal to move to Wipeout (video game series), I'm assuming  just made a bit of an error here and maybe wasn't aware of the full history, so hopefully it's a quick change. Being WP:Bold is fine but just not quite right this time. Mountaincirquetalk 10:16, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Note: just to clarify Psygnosis technically merged into Sony in 2000 and became Studio Liverpool / SCE Liverpool, so it is odd to call anything after Wipeout 3 a 'Psygnosis game'. Other development studios also worked on the remasters for Wipeout Omega Collection...so you can't and shouldn't state in the title that this is all under one studio.

replies: text: My reasoning was a) List of video games based on Wipeout (2008 American game show) exists and is clearly a series of games so (video game series) doesn't disambiguate enough, and b) (1995 video games series) was such a terrible disambiguation for a series that has releases covering 1995 through 2017 that anything was better. I figured that "Psygnosis" was possibly wrong as opposed to "Studio Liverpool", but let it go since that's also kind of wrong. That all said, I don't much care what the name is as long as it makes sense, so let me know whatever y'all land on and I'll move it. --PresN 03:42, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, as noted there seems to be a consensus in this (albeit small) discussion for Wipeout (video game series) which already redirects here, so it needs an admin/page mover to change that, please do so? I can see your point on the other 'Wipeout' games, but in my opinion as the title is completely different, with that being a list, it is not a problem, as well as the fact that those games are so low profile that only one has its own page. I'd argue that List of video games based on Wipeout (2008 American game show) could be just merged into the main article for Wipeout (American game show). 08:32, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: It is a series of video games, based on a game show, so yes, it would be confusing since they are both video game series. -- 67.70.27.246 (talk) 08:04, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

text: *If the article is the primary topic, it won't need disambiguation (per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC). I admit that it mainly refers to natural disambiguation, but I think the principle behind the rule can apply here. So I'll support "Racing video game series" in the title if we can verify that this isn't the primary topic for video game series. How are we going to determine that?Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 20:17, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: *I don't think the video game series would ever qualify as the primary topic of Wipeout. "racing video game series" also doesn't seem right, since the game show based video game series also involves racing, obstacle racing -- 67.70.27.246 (talk) 08:03, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
