Talk:Silent Hill: Origins

message: I edited the plot summary, where the author was cramming way too much information into one sentence. The paragraphs didn't flow at all. The author used too many commas, and way too many dashes to add the extra information.
People want to learn from this article, if you cram them with info they will lose interest and become confused. Also, speak in laymans terms, and please explain things clearly. I don't know anything about this particular Silent Hill game (it hasn't been released in my country yet)and this article was supposed to help me understand the plot before I began. Not spoil the whole thing for me.
So I edited the grammar, but can someone clean up the rest??
Oops. Please fix my table editing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.235.162.183 (talk) 10:22, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Too much information

message: WP:MOSTM states that "Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment". So the name for this article should be changed to Silent Hill: Origins. Anyone agree? --Mika1h 23:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes I agree, and other sites like IGN and Amazon use 'Origins' too. So I'll move it! Marasmusine 08:13, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The page still says two different release times. The opening blurb says Q4 2007 while the infobox to the side says Q3 2007. Find a source or they both go. --Thaddius 23:20, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release date mismatch 

message: Why was the info regarding the leaked demo removed? The leak concerns the game so it is a valid point. In case some idiot rants about copyright, there should be a mention but no pointers on how to get it. If nothing is entered into the article I will reinstate the info.
:It was removed because of our WP:Verifiability and WP:Original research policies. Marasmusine 07:48, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: With the discovery of a reliable third-party source documenting this, I have added a mention of the event. --Lenin and McCarthy  |  (Complain here) 15:25, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

text: According to many sites the "demo" file circulating is actually the full game and can be unlocked via a "patch" found on a PSP website. This info is coming from GameFAQs.com on the forum for the game.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.230.15.53 (talk) 01:04, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Demo Info Removal 

message: Is there any information about what happend to the Resident Evil 4 like gameplay? Such as why was it removed? Was it found to be to similar, so it was conisdered unoriginal, so it was removed? Personally, I think it should have stayed, any ideas?Lockgar 21:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: No, the official site and game guide both calls this one "straight jacket." Probably so they aren't confused with each other.--Sherwood-Nightshade 01:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Straight Jacket?

message: "Tank" controls needs to be clarified.  I assume this means the controls where right and left always turn, and up and down are always forward and back?  In the SH games starting with the second, this is referred to as 3D controls - and the "fully 3D" controls, in which to just point the analog stick where you want to go, is referred to as 2D controls.VatoFirme (talk) 11:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Controls

message: The entry currently says the port was handled by Monolith Productions.  I have the PS2 version here in front of me, and I can't find Monolith's name anywhere on it.  Monolith's page doesn't mention it at all, either.  I had heard that Climax, the same team that originally developed the game for PSP, had handled the PS2 port.  Does anybody know for sure?

thread_title: Page messed up

message: Hi everybody! Title says all.
*Screenshot of typical gameplay
*Get two-three paragraphs for gameplay
*Run-through of plot: remove OR, trim and copy-edit (ce) where needed (remember there's a neglected character page too)
*Possible OR in bad ending?
*Expand reception
*General ce
*Peer review
And that's all I can come up with for now. Feel free to cross off as completed and/or add to the list. Kaguya-chan (talk) 19:39, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, a QTE screen-shot would be best. Kaguya-chan (talk) 20:17, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: A peer review would also do wonders. Kaguya-chan (talk) 22:52, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Alternatively, for the screen-shot, it could be a depiction of the "mirrors=transport to Otherworld" concept of Origins. Kaguya-chan (talk) 21:30, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

text: Agreed, either a QTE picture or one depicting a reality shift through a mirror, as these are the 2 major changes in gameplay. Also, a spooky sound sample in the "Audio" part like the one in SH1's article would be awesome. Games with such atmosphere should definitely have a sound sample. Golden Sugarplum (talk) 18:55, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, an audio sample would be amazing too. I have no idea how to put one up through... Kaguya-chan (talk) 19:00, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

text: The sound sample should be chosen after the "Audio" part has been expanded to include info about the composition of the music, so that the sample corresponds to the info of the part. Also, the soundtrack list format should be changed to the appropriate, as in SH1, SH2, and SH3, which I don't know how to do. Golden Sugarplum (talk) 18:53, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Creating the table is not too difficult, only *very* tedious. That style of table in SH 1-3 isn't any more appropriate than the traditional table/template. It's just a matter of preference. A soundtrack list is a soundtrack list, as far as I know. Kaguya-chan (talk) 23:35, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Stuff to do before GAN 

message: Hi. I would like to discuss an anonymous editor's recent attempts to describe what both of the two endings imply. To me, this is clearly WP:OR,but I'm unsure if the editor understands what original research is. I've tried third times to contact the anonymous editor, but he/she changes his/her IP address every day. ,  I really would like to discuss your edits and hopefully find a compromise that doesn't include original research.

thread_title:  original research  

message: Can anyone find an alternative (reliable) source for this: "According to director Mark Simmons, the Butcher character was inherited from the previous developer and was retained due to Konami's enthusiasm for it." It was sourced to a fan site, which is dead. :( Thank you, Rapunzel-bellflower (talk) 19:59, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Haven't looked into Origins much, but on a related note you should revisit that making of article for Shattered Memories. Right now it's just used for sales figures, but it's also got some info on earlier canned Climax games that SM borrowed from. --Lenin and McCarthy  |  (Complain here) 01:33, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
