Talk:Manhunt (video game)

message: In the following paragraph in the Controversy section, one would think the article is about a different game: "This "implied-violence" animation contrasts with the style of other games, such as Soldier of Fortune II, which boasted 36 "gore-zones." In these games, the graphical representation of the body and the depiction of wounds are accurately portrayed on-screen. For instance, in Soldier of Fortune II, it is possible to "pistol whip" and dismember a female maid, mutilating her entire torso to the point where one may choose to remove her jaw to reveal her brain. Soldier of Fortune II is not the only game with this kind of violent on-screen representation, as many war-simulators have comparable graphics. However, Soldier of Fortune II, and other simulation First Person Shooters, seem to evade as much media attention as Manhunt did." It just seems to me like most of this should be cut out.

message: Do you think we should put up pictures of all the gangs/police units in the game like we did for the Grand Theft Auto gang article?
I think they should! I also think they should start making a gang article as well, there being a manhunt 2 and all, and having more and newer enemies!--Manny Ribera 14:23, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: That's a little extraneous, isn't it?  They're both made by the same company, and Rockstar is known for their self-referential-ism, but I don't think it counts as a spin-off.

message: "However, as Cash is on the run and probably lacking in any personal funds, this is logical." This is opinion so I removed it. As well, the whole bit about the "Liberty City Survivor" is also WP:OR since there is no citation, so I also removed it. If you can find some quote somewhere from the game developers hat says otherwise, feel free to throw it back in.Chewbacca1010 22:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: The game does feature the option to use the microphone to make sound in the game as a means to distract enemies. So yes, it is Microphone Controlled, although I think it uses the term 'Controlled' in the loosest possible way. The Kinslayer 15:35, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Microphone Controlled? 

message: Following a request for assessment, I read the article, and below I will write down what could be improved. Note: I did not change the rating, because it's simply still B-class, and hardly that - if it wasn't already B, I would have assessed it at Start, probably.
*The introduction is too short and ambiguous. At the very least, include some (summarized and rephrased) content from the 'reception' and 'controvery' sections.
*The article needs structure - I suggest borrowing it from the FA Halo: Combat Evolved. Put the 'plot', 'gangs', and 'characters' section as subsections in one 'Synopsis' section, and delete the section about weapons: as with every game article, a list of units and weapons is not something to put in an encyclopaedia article. (Note that Halo has no list of such!) A few short sentences about the general type of weapons available in 'gameplay' will do - like if one will be using Katana's or Antigravity Beams. There are not enough weapons for a seperate 'list of weapons...' article.
*Some trivia need explaining, because I didn't get why some of them were in that list. Be aware that not everyone reads the entire article, or use Ctrl+F to find something they're looking for.
*The first paragraph of controversy needs references.
*Reception needs expansion.
*Gameplay needs internal links.

replies: text: I understand what to address for every point here except the trivia point, what exactly do you think needs explaining clearer?

thread_title:  Categories 

message: I cleaned up the controversy section a bit, made it a bulleted list with an item for each country. 
Reading the quoted source for the situation in New Zealand, the claim that mere possession is punishable with up to ten years in jail does not hold. According to section 131 of the quoted law, possession is an offence, but punishable only with a $2000 fine for individuals. The ten years are mentioned in section 124, which however refers only to acts according to section 123, which are, in short, supply, distribution, display, or exhibition to any other person, or possession for said purpose. This is a bit confusing, so I have reduced the sentence to "Possession is an offence" and linked section 131 as source. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Graf Bobby (talk • contribs) 13:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy 

message: There seems to be a kind of slow edit war going on about the link to Project Manhunt in the External links section, so maybe we can reach a consense here. I propose that the link should be there. It is a useful site and fulfills the criteria of WP:EL, What should be linked, 3 and 4. — Graf Bobby 10:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Neutrality—in connection with a video game? Where's the controversy here? If it's bugs and gameplay issues, then fansites are definitely more neutral than devopers and publishers, whose sites seem to be linked routinely from Wikipedia. As for the meaningful content, do interviews with developers not count? That's something the article definitely would not contain if it became a featured article.—As for the way the site keeps getting added, I understand that it is annoying, but it is not really relevant for the quality of the link itself. — Graf Bobby 11:12, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This is a bit too long for an edit summary, so I'll put it here:
*Valiant Video Enterprises is a members-only page.
*Banning of Manhunt (OLFC) is already a footnote above.
*IMDB doesn't have any info that MobyGames doesn't have as well.
*The dark side has no relevant info at all.
Graf Bobby 14:55, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Try again. Valiant Video Enterprises is an official viral website set up by R* as an advert for the game. 'Members only' is only  amisnomer, you can't register with the site, only sign in as a guest.
The rest I agree with the other 3 being removed though.though. The Kinslayer 14:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah yes. Got in without any problem. Not that there's any info to speak of on that site though. — Graf Bobby 15:05, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: True, but I'm sure a little paragraph about it could be worked into the article somewhere, I seem to recall the GTA articles have similar mentions of the various websites that were created for those games by R*. The Kinslayer 15:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed some links 

message: I moved the trivia item about two characters sharing the surname up to the entries for the respective characters. Everything that's left is about cross-references between Manhunt and the GTA series. It could thus be renamed, doing away with it according to WP:TRIV. I haven't done it myself since I'm not sure what would be a good title, and whether it belongs under synopsis or not. Hopefully someone else is more inspired than I am. — Graf Bobby 02:23, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe name it something like World Coninuity or something? Since the paragraph is dealing with R* well-known habit of linking all their games together into one world through it's use or products and names. DarkSaber2k 14:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Should there be a section on Manhunt 2? 

message: Why do people consider this site as not having relevant information on the Manhunt game? 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links#What_should_be_linked, states 
4. Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews.
Project Manhunt includes (Please look for yourself so you can make an informed decision):
Information on early development stages of the game.
http://www.projectmanhunt.com/manhunt/beta.php
Trivia discussing information on references and possible inspiration for the game.
http://www.projectmanhunt.com/manhunt/trivia.php
A page including Codes, Bonuses and information on how to attain them.
http://www.projectmanhunt.com/manhunt/unlockables.php
Information on all known Merchandise available.
http://www.projectmanhunt.com/manhunt/merchandise.php
And a lengthy transcribe of the dialog (script) contained in the game.
http://www.projectmanhunt.com/manhunt/dialogue.php
Guidelines state that sites with meaningful relevant "content not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews" should be considered for adding. Now I know that DarkSaber2k has an ongoing vendetta against this site for he considers any link to it an act against the sacred http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links guidelines, but as DarkSaber2k states "We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia" I agree completely with that statement. 
As you can see from the above links, the site at projectmanhunt.com is obviously a knowledgeable source on bits of information not included with in the article because as the guidelines state "content not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews" should be considered for adding! 
So after that will you agree that the site http://www.projectmanhunt.com/ is a site worthy to be an external link from the Manhunt game page?

thread_title: Gangs?

message: I've spent a lot of time in upgrading the "Plot" and "Reception" - let me summarize what I did. For "Plot", I made the article truer to the in-game story; I've played through the entire game and Cash doesnt know the director's name until he meets the journalist. For "Reception", I've added one more review aggregation site's link in the "Critique" section (Metacritic); I changed "Reviews" to "Critique" since the reviews are there on the table on the right, and thus Critique sounds better. In the "Controversy" section I've given a moderately detailed example of each level of execution that describe both the aural and visual nature of the executions, instead of vague examples. Please don't delete my work without sending me a private message and stating your reason here--someone deleted my previous work in the "Plot" section three times in the last two weeks.
