Talk:Time Crisis

Tense
This article seems to be written in different tenses. It refers to the game in the past tense in one sentence and in the present in another. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.88.192.53 (talk) 23:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Esoterica?
Perhaps we should include something on the fact that the countdown timer usually starts at 35 or 40 seconds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ztobor (talk • contribs) 00:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Characters article
I've redirected the List of characters in the Time Crisis series into here. Basically, it was full of crufty information. None of the characters are even particularly noteworthy; they're just very good mercenaries whose backstories are seldom elaborated on (this is based on my experiences playing the first three TC games in the arcades). Small section here, perhaps suitable, but not as its own stand-alone article. hbdragon88 (talk) 01:32, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the duration of Time Crisis 5
A while ago, an editor made an interesting note on the page about how Time Crisis 5 contains the largest number of stages in the series to date. However, I feel that it is worth pointing out that while that is the case, that does not necessarily mean that the game is substantially longer than previous entries in the series. Recently, I came across videos on YouTube of the various TC games (with the exception of the mobile spin-off games) which were completed by the people who uploaded them without losing a life, and found that TC5 is actually much shorter than the two previous arcade entries, TC3 and TC4. These were the completion times:

Time Crisis 1: 10'28"70

Time Crisis 2: 14’23’’02

Time Crisis: Project Titan: 14’13’’43

Time Crisis 3: 28’17’’40

Time Crisis 4: 28’00’’11

Time Crisis 5: 17’22’’01

Hopefully if Namco Bandai bring out a console version of TC5, they will add at least three more rounds that will bring the length of the game to that of TC3 and TC4. There could, for instance, be a prologue stage (similar to the one from TC4) which focuses on the mission from three years prior to the game that Keith and some of the other characters discuss, while the Final Stage could include two additional rounds; one involving a helicopter stage where Catherine confronts vehicles and HACs, together with Wild Dog (in an armoured combat suit, perhaps?), and the other involving Keith, Luke, and Marc confronting hordes of enemies on the way to the hanger where Robert is waiting, with perhaps the return of the heavy machine gun from the first stage of TC4 as an additional weapon. These are just suggestions, but hopefully Namco Bandai will have something like these in mind for a possible console release and when will TC6 be released. Zictor23 (talk) 18:27 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Requested move 8 July 2016

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: page moved. I don't think the three entries rule counts for much, and I can see the first game being just as well known here as the series, but since it's about a tie and there are no objections, this looks like the right call. czar 01:36, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

– There are five main entries in the Time Crisis (series), with three spin-offs and one compilation. Per WP:NCVGDAB, if a series has more than three entries, the main article should drop the "series" disambiguator. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 12:28, 8 July 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.

Troll infesting the page
Hi, there's a troll who keeps writing BS regarding imaginary sequels/remakes of the series, is there something that can be done please? It seems to be following the same pattern as another troll from several years ago who wrote similar things. 79.24.34.213 (talk) 11:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)


 * It's me again. Nobody is interested in stopping that idiot? 5.90.15.41 (talk) 14:21, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * User:Sergecross73 can you look into this? Timur9008 (talk) 14:48, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I can try to help, though I'm not super familiar with Time Crisis series, so I need some context as to what's wrong. Sergecross73   msg me  15:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Not sure if you can check but going by the edit history of the article there may multiple user accounts involved. (reffering to the recent edits on the page) Timur9008 (talk) 15:36, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The person i'm talking about keeps adding unsourced/useless information to the page, including imaginary info about a sixth chapter and a remake of the first game. No matter how many times you remove it, it keeps returning. One of the last IP addresses was 116.14.136.127 and he also posted false information on the House of the Dead series page. Seems to be following the same pattern as a user from 2012/2013 that kept adding false information on the Time Crisis 1 game page. Judging from the other IP addresses and the other pages he edited, he could be from Asian territories. 79.24.65.226 (talk) 15:59, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, the trademark info can be worth mentioning, as long as it's covered by reliable sources. (And Video Game Chronicle is a reliable source.) Accurately conveying that as a trademark isn't problematic, but extrapolating that further into saying new games are actually being worked on is a problem - it violates WP:OR.
 * It maybe be better to clean it up rather than taking admin action. I'm wondering if one of you would prefer to. If I start intervening as an editor, then at that point I'm not supposed to be intervening as an Admin anymore. Sergecross73   msg me  16:36, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The trademark info could be worth mentioning, but it's from 2022 and he keeps writing "2023 or 2024", this is nonsense. He also wrote that "Cobra The Arcade" is a spinoff to Time Crisis, but other than (probably) sharing a similar game engine, no other source in the web report that. It's also a licensed game from a different IP...79.24.65.226 (talk) 18:10, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Right. So, I don't think "troll infesting the page" is an accurate description here. More like "an IP keeps violating our no original research policy, and we should be trimming/correcting the info down to the correct content rather than reverting wholesale. Sergecross73   msg me  16:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * If he keeps re-adding false information, what am i supposed to trim/correct? 79.51.68.121 (talk) 17:39, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The parts that are false. Sergecross73   msg me  00:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
