Talk:Strife: Quest for the Sigil

What to do about the redlinks?
This page was copied verbatim from the Doom Wiki, so there are quite a lot of redlinks. Even some of the bluelinks (such as Monsters) need to be changed, because they point to an article of that name which happened to already exist, but which have no (or no direct) relevance to Strife.

There are at least three possibilities:
 * Point the link to the relevant Doom-wiki article, thus: w:c:doom:Monsters (with a pipe of course, to conceal the markup; and I don't know why the "w:c:" bit is needed, since the Doom Wiki is one of the oldest ones and thus in the Interwiki Map on Community Central, so the "w:c:" prefix isn't needed anywhere else that I know of).
 * Create the article (by copying from the Doom Wiki?), provided of course that it doesn't already exist.
 * Delete the link from this article.

I would like to know what anyone thinks. — RobertATfm (talk) 22:11, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

Do we really need a "Strife: Veteran Edition" article?
OK, the 2014 re-release is improved over the previous release, but as far as I'm aware the main points are:


 * Now supports high-resolution displays with better 3D rendering and dynamic lighting
 * Now has achievements (viewable on the owner's Steam account)
 * A new secret level and a new puzzle involving new artifacts to reach said level
 * Some areas which were just hidden are now officially secret

Overall, it's substantially the same game as before, and can even be played with the same walkthroughs. — RobertATfm (talk) 23:01, January 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * There are several compelling reasons for a separate article, but the main feature that I wanted to see here was games listed as products, not necessarily as over-arching game synopsis pages. Now, this way articles can give in-depth information on differences and have them as the meat of the article. Box art is important as well, and in many cases, there will be additional or different release information. Since we use categories for date information, it would be inaccurate to solely have the original release documented in that fashion.


 * Ratings are another issue, and it is entirely possible a re-release (HD or otherwise) could be given a different rating in a different region (Assassin's Creed springs to mind as one example). The walkthrough section could detail the new areas, while offering a link back to the original game article on the same page for the otherwise-redundant content.


 * There are many things that sites like Wikipedia do, and that is to compress content down. The ability to detail releases to this degree would be a refreshing change of pace from such sites.--TwoTailedFox (talk) 02:04, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
