Talk:Project Dream

Keep this article
There's no need to say that this article's sources aren't reliable - there is plenty of information out there to support this article. Grant Kirkhope himself describes about Project Dream himself on his website. Two years ago I became very interested in Project Dream, I had to search everywhere and even ask Kirkhope himself about the game that eventually became Banjo Kazooie. All of its content is NOT original research, I wrote it myself because I became fascinated with Project Dream two years ago. This article is also my first article I ever created (not that is very supportive), but there is no real reason to delete this article. The sources in it are fine and this article tells the truth.

 * It is not enough to simply say, "this article tells the truth". You have to prove it with reliable sources. I understand you are very interested in Project Dream but there is a lot of unsourced material in this article. For example, the gameplay section complete lacks reliable sources and has material that can easily be challenged. I'm going to at least place a for the moment. --Niwi3 (talk) 12:16, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, I've added a few sources as Grant Kirkhope himself is the only reliable source out there (he worked on Project Dream and by far he is the only person I know who has released information about the game). Project Dream is so hard to find out - Rare do like keeping secrets. Jaguar (talk) 20:23, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, before creating an article here at Wikipedia, make sure you have enough, good, reliable, published, third-party sources. In the previous reply you said that there was plenty (with emphasis) of info out there to support the article and now you say that Project Dream is very hard to find out. I'm not trying to start a fight, I just want a good reason to keep this article. In my opinion, Banjo-Kazooie has just the right and necessary info that summarizes this article pretty nicely. Why does Project Dream deserve a separate article? --Niwi3 (talk) 20:05, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

"Rare Revealed" - Dream
As part of their "Rare Revealed" series on YouTube, Rare has released an episode focusing on Dream and its transition into Banjo-Kazooie. The video includes a lot of previously-unknown details regarding the game's development, such as a logo for the game, Dinger's functionality in gameplay, and the differences between the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 versions of the game. Would someone be willing to comb through the video and add the relevant details to the article? -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 17:19, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Clarification
I have two requests. In this edit, I added a  tag around my insufficient attempt to make sense of some incoherent text. I don't know the source material, so that's my attempt to bluntly copy edit that. So somebody who knows the TRUTH needs to revise it. Also, in the first paragraph of the Development section, I weakly attempted to provide sentence structure for somebody to clarify the point at which it was called Dream: Land of Giants and the point at which it was called Project Dream. I don't know which is which but I guess maybe it would make more sense if Dream: Land of Giants came second because that's more specific. I dunno the source story. Please find and cite that source, and reorder the prose if needed. By the way, I'm pretty sure I cited all the pertinent info about Dream out of the "Rare Revealed: A Rare Look" video but I didn't look at all in the other "Rare Revealed" video that I cited, so there's probably more content there. This article mustn't be a load of WP:FANCRUFT but I gave one example illustrating the methods by which content can survive a drastic transformation of a title. Maybe something else can be included if it's a truly defining characteristic. And you might find an easter egg if you search google for. Thanks. — Smuckola(talk) 21:58, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Edson vs Edison
I changed all references of "Edison" to Edson, and someone changed it back citing the auto-generated captions on the Rare Revealed videos on YouTube as a reference -- these captions are auto-generated by YouTube and absolutely cannot be used as a reference for the protagonist's name. The Rare Revealed video for Dream on YouTube (Rare Revealed: A Rare Look at Dream) has a description written by Rare that says "...the adventure of boy hero Edson and his dog Dinger". Not only does this reference trump the captions auto-generated by YouTube, but it has been confirmed numerous times on Twitter and in interviews that the protagonist's name is "Edson". There is no doubt about this, and you may feel free to ask the original developers on Twitter yourself to confirm it for the twentieth time (Gregg Mayles, Steve Mayles, Chris Sutherland, Paul Machacek, Ed Bryan, etc). The developers in the Rare Revealed video even say "Edson". Please do not revert these edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RdCrestdBreegull (talk • contribs) 02:36, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
