Talk:Fury (video game)

message: Quite bad, it tries to make you dump a couple bucks on pre-orders, and the information is ripped from advert-like sites. If you want to write the article, make it say something other than, "It revolutionizes MMORPGs! This isn't anything that you've ever seen before!" I almost marked it as spam, but it isn't that bad...

message: The icon art associated with this article is out of date. Auran has changed all of the logos for Fury, with the new logos in use at the official site and other Auran-affiliated locations (such as Fury's GuildCafe page, here: http://www.guildcafe.com/GuildHome.php?guildid=1228) AlexWeekes 08:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

message: FuryWiki now has the status of "inactive" because it is about to have most of its content merged into Fury Sanctuary, since both wikis are running on Wikia servers. My proposal is to remove FuryWiki from the External Links section for the stated reason. If there are no objections within 48 hours of this post, then the proposed edit will be made. 76.107.177.236 21:48, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

message: To avoid conflict of interest I'm just leaving this as a comment:
System Requirements: While we do recognise that some hardware combinations are experiencing poor performance, the statement made here is exaggerated and at best misleading on two counts. DirectX 10 is not required for Fury and does not have an impact on being able to play the game. Users with DirectX 10 cards should use one of the DirectX 9 renderers while the DirectX 10 renderer is being worked on. Further the "limited video card" support comment is also misleading as we support both major brands of gaming cards (GeForce and Radeon) and support much older models than most other UE3 Engine games, through our Low End Renderer (down to Ti 4 series or equivalent).

thread_title:  System Reqs Comments misleading 

message: Auran recently closed it's doors. It's being widely attributed to the poor reception afforded to Fury. Perhaps this is something to include?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.228.160.56 (talk) 10:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Auran Developments has gone into voluntary liquidation, but Auran is still in existance (see the Auran article. Good Game (ABC TV) indicated that the failure of Fury was the reason for this. --Nicholas Perkins (T•C) 14:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Auran Closing it's Doors - Fury as a reason? 

message: I removed the template, as I made minimal fixes to the issues indicated: 
I removed the unreferenced facts (two items). As for the expansion request, well, since this game has died, I don't think it will ever be expanded, and I reasoned the request was pointless. Feel free to reinsert it if you like; but realize that if you don't expand it yourself, probably no one will... 
Finally I made smaller edits to the introduction. CapnZapp (talk) 20:58, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Vaporware isn't limited too software that was not released.  It may also include software that was released that did not meet expectations.  Auran made claims that Fury was to be an new generous, they even called it an E-sport.  The actual game and what auran claimed was two different animals.  Hence, is why Fury should be dub Vaporware.

text: It isn't my definition dude.  Check any 'software terms' glossary.  Dereliict (talk) 01:19, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Well apparently the standard has changed.  I even supplied the reasoning, but might as well agree to disagree then.  Arukas (talk) 05:34, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the description of the game as 'vaporware', as it was actually released. If you want to re-add it, please provide a reference where the game is described as 'vaporware' by a reliable source. Terraxos (talk) 17:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

message: There seems to be some discussion on the subjective/objectivity of this article. Apparently it has been previously argued that the article reads like an advertisement whose content was not critical enough of the game's shortcomings.  Currently it reads like the half-argued rant of a disgruntled fan.  It is highly editorialized.  For instance, the article discusses lack of responsiveness by the developers without offering rigorous citations.  An opposing viewpoint could be that all MMORPGs are subject to this to some extent.  It appears difficult to please everyone out of a large group.  This is why there needs to be some amount of reliance on tangible sources.  In its current state this article could equally be the musings of a single fan.
I have tagged it as lacking citations and flagged it for a review of neutrality as such.  I'm not quite sure how to approach the issue of finding reasonable sources to affirm or contradict the factors playing into this game's decline that are listed in this article.  So discussion with respect to that is appreciated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.79.135.191 (talk) 00:24, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The article overall and the paragraphs about the troubled development and attempts to rescue the games certainly lack citations. They were  in the only edit of 74.110.122.57 on 2 September 2011. Being without any citation, it would certainly be justified to remove them. On the other hand, staying unchallenged for that long suggests that the facts are probably true. I know that there was a lot of disgruntlement, to use a polite term, at the time in gamer's forums, a lot of it on Auran's own – which are of course no longer available. These days, Fury is not mentioned at all at n3vgames.com and the game has to be considered orphaned and dead. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:25, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
