Talk:Sunset Overdrive

Undue weight and assumptions in new Criticism section
{{quotation|1= ==Criticism== Response to hearing that Sunset Overdrive is to be an Xbox One exclusive has been mixed. Many of Insomniac's fans were angered due to Insomniac having a long history of developing video games exclusively for the PlayStation console brand. Some have gone as far as to call Insomniac "traitors". They want it to release on the PlayStation 4 as well as the Xbox One because their fan base consists of mainly PlayStation fans. Many also believe that the game will not sell very well if their fan base cannot support it. On top of that, many have called Insomniac hypocrites for talking about the benefits of developing games for multiple consoles with their latest game, Fuse, and then going back to exclusivity. {{cite web |url=http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2013/06/e3_2013_insomniac_still_could_make_games_for_sony/ref> }} I moved this section from the article because it puts undue weight on the fan reaction (which at most should be a sentence, if even that can be cited). It uses "weasel words" (especially "many") to voice a point of view that isn't cited in reliable sources nor presented neutrally. Also the one source cited doesn't verify any of the POV statements. Instead of edit warring over this addition to the article, let's discuss it here first. As it stands, it doesn't pass Wikipedia policy for inclusion. czar  &middot;   &middot;  14:43, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Just look at all the comments here: http://www.insomniacgames.com/a-message-from-ted-sunset-overdrive/ Almost everyone feels the way described in the "Criticism" section. And that is no exaggeration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.239.145.114 (talk) 09:46, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I see, but Wikipedia doesn't base articles (or portions of an article) on user comments from a website. Facts can be summarized when reported by a reliable source. The video games WikiProject has a list of the sources whose reporting is regularly used in articles. If one of these sources mentions the fan reaction to Insomniac as something notable, we can consider including it. Devoting a whole paragraph to such an issue, though, would be quite undue compared to the entire (short) article. At most, a sentence on the subject may be useful, but only if the sourcing backs it up. czar   &middot;   &middot;  10:31, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Advertisement disguised as an encyclopedia article
It's obvious that this article for a game that came out three days ago is an advertisement, written by the PR department of the publisher. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.253.186.62 (talk) 18:48, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Almost every AAA video game titles has their own articles before their releases. I don't see your point. AdrianGamer (talk) 09:07, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * It's also the case for big budget films, popular books etc. I don't believe that this game should be specifically targeted-69.157.253.160 (talk) 22:25, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
