Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to PlayStation 3, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You need to provide verifiability, as in WP:V, not your opinions. Thank you for adding to the Xbox 360 games list instead of the main article for not yet major games; some editors in the PlayStation 3 article did not do the same, as in its talk page. If you want to argue with other fanboys about the playstation go to gamespot. --gatoatigrado 19:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Sir, did you even bother to see that I did provide citation from IGN that said the Playstation 3 is has received nothing but negative publicity since the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo? The article I used for citation did an excellent job of proving this point. I am not a fanboy of any kind; I simply want the truth to be told. I would like to thank you for eliminating the "untitled" and "unspecified" games from the List of Playstation 3 games. I thought it was terrible that those games would be allowed on the list or classified as Verifiable. I really don't see how you can allow the current Playstation 3 page to say that Sony has "futureproof" developer support when honest people like me show citation that the Playstation 3 has a lower level of developer support than ever. In fact, just today THQ cancelled WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 for the Playstation 3 because they said it was a waste of their resources. Thank you for your help.

July 26, 2006: I have made major changes to the page called: Devil May Cry 4. The reason for this is because as of May 18, 2006 the Playstation 3 will no longer be receiving this game. Devil May Cry 4 is now being developed for the Xbox 360 and the Wii. I have used MULTIPLE citations to support this in accordance with Wikipedia verifaction standards. Please make sure that other people do not try to unjustly vandalize the Devil May Cry 4 page now that it contains the truth according to precedents set up to July 26, 2006. Please make sure that this fully verified information regarding Devil May Cry 4 for the Xbox and the Wii is maintained.

1st: Learn proper grammar. 2nd: Get your facts straight. 3rd: Sources based on rumours with no proof are not reliable, citations are NOT proof. 4th: The official word is DMC4: Only for "Playstation 3". The proof is here: http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/1053. --Luismbs
Post *proof* of your claims or do not bother editing this article again. Famitsu never said DMC4 was going to be cancelled or seriously delayed for PS3, ported to 360 with greater graphics... All that is BS, *groundless rumours* with no proof. Your sources are *heavily* biased, just like you are. How come your "fully verified information" is not reflected on any major gaming site? --Luismbs


I'm not criticizing your corrections about Devil May Cry. I don't see where your comments about lack of grammar apply, but this is a talk page anyway, and correcting them isn't productive. You repeatedly tried to make comments from an insider source, without stating that the opinion came from elsewhere besides Wikipedia. I am glad you are not a fanboy, I am not either.

"Sony has "futureproof" developer support" - it does? It should say Sony said that they have good developer support, if at all. I didn't write that. Two wrongs don't make a right. --gatoatigrado 23:14, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bottom Line (no, certainly not)

When the Producer--Hiroshi Kobayashi--CLEARLY tells Famitsu that Devil May Cry 4 will make its debut on the Xbox 360 and the Wii, then that is an OBVIOUS indicator that it will NOT make its debut at the same time on the Playstation 3!!! What part of this do you NOT understand? I listed THREE websites from May 18, 2006 that show this. You show ONE website, with outdated information that truly is biased; the information page you gave can't even make up its mind whether or not Assassins Creed is going to be released on the Xbox 360. The Producer of the Devil May Cry series made this CLEAR!!! I am changing this website back to the way it should be in regards to the Xbox 360 and the Wii!

If you have a problem with my grammar or individual elements, then please feel free to change those things one at a time. HOWEVER; you are NOT going to change the FACT that Devil May Cry 4 Producer Hiroshi Kobayashi has stated that Devil May Cry 4 will be released for the Xbox 360 and the Wii! The reason why this has not received the sort of press coverage that WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007 did when it was cancelled for the Playstation 3 is because there was a similar article in Famitsu from January 16, 2006; it said that Devil May Cry 4 would be coming to the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Revolution, in addition to the PS3. On January 20, 2006 there was an update article that said this was a mistranslation, and it confirmed that Devil May Cry 4 was still scheduled to be released exclusively for the Playstation 3. HOWEVER, the May 18, 2006 article was NOT a mistranslation, and I have shown how it was reported by major websites in an OFFICIAL way! Look at the website addresses I provided!

There is *NO PROOF* of your claims. Haven't you wondered why there are no scans of Famitsu's article anywhere? DMC4 is an AAA title and important news such as PS3 version cancelled/severely delayed or 360 and Wii versions announced should be confirmed everywhere in all major gaming sites and they aren't. The sites you mention are *heavily biased* and/or include *made-up information*. *Post proof* of what you want to post here or I will report your activities as vandalism at once.

Mistakes are NOT vandalism. Bad sources are NOT vandalism. The links I posted above come a bit closer. --gatoatigrado 14:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] a few things

a few things --gatoatigrado 12:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

  1. sign your discussion. the bold / not bold doesn't work.
  2. discuss this at talk:playstation 3. There is already discussion there, and any contributions would be welcome. Wisq has already pointed out more intellectual disputes to your sources besides your edits being grammatically incorrect. I added more comments there.

[edit] Grammar and Spelling

I would just like to mention that I did not write the article for Devil May Cry; I simply adjusted the parts that related to what systems it would be released for. If you have a problem with the grammar, you really need to blame other people--not me. Nevertheless, please feel free to make any modifications that you want to. I will not adjust the Devil May Cry 4 article any more; however, I am officially reserving the right to say, "Told ya so!" when Devil May Cry 4 is released for the Wii and the Xbox 360, but not the Playstation 3. I have a friend who travels from Japan and reads Japanese; he has that issue of Famitsu, and he said there is absolutely no goof up or mistranslation. I wrote to a couple of Official Xbox 360 websites and Wii websites, and I was told that the reason this was overlooked by the majority of the press is because there was a lot of coverage in the media, which resulted in confusion because there was a mistranslation in January. There was no mistranslation in May, though.

[edit] citation on Blu-ray Disc

Hi!

You added the following to the Blu-ray Disc article:

"[That the discs so far issued are single-layered and all use the MPEG-2 codec] is the main reason why Blu-ray discs have far fewer special features and bonus content than HD-DVD or standard DVD movies.

I am curious - to whom is this the "main reason"? As I'm sure you know, we're not allowed to include original research in our articles. —Gabbe 21:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

He's right. The studios are moronic. If they used mpeg4 avc or vc1, it would be better than blu ray. Now, they have worse audio and less special features. --gatoatigrado 05:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response to Main Reason why Blu-ray movies have less Bonus Content than HD-DVD or Standard DVD movies

Gabbe, this is not "original research" that I invented on my own. I am simply updating the page with honest facts based on industry standards currently in place. The industry standard fact of the matter is that each 25GB layer of Blu-ray technology using MPEG-2 compression holds approximately two hours of high-definition video content. Another industry standard fact of the matter is that each 15GB layer of HD-DVD technology using VC-1 compression holds approximately two hours of high-definition video content. All HD-DVD movies currently released are dual-layer 30GB discs using VC-1 compression, which allows approximately four hours of high-definition video content to be placed on the disc. All Blu-ray movies currently released are single-layer 25GB discs using MPEG-2 compression, which allows approximately two hours of high-definition video content to be placed on the disc. These are industry standards currently in place for both formats at this point in time.

With all due respect, it does not take a math teacher to realize that four-hours of content on an HD-DVD allows twice as much high-definition video content as Blu-ray discs that only allow two-hours of high-definition content. HD-DVD movies currently available have a lot of bonus features, whereas Blu-ray movies do not. The reason for this is obviously because most of the movies released on Blu-ray are close to two hours in length, which does not allow bonus content to be placed on the Blu-ray disc. This is not a factor for HD-DVD, because even if longer movies like Forrest Gump or Casino were placed on the disc, four hours of space is more than enough to not only include the movie, but also lots of additional bonus content and special features. Movies like Forrest Gump and Casino would not be able to be released for Blu-ray at this point in time--for obvious reasons. Obviously, this fact based information should not be classified as, "Original Research," just as writing 2+2=4 would not need to be. Please allow the adjustments I made to stay, because they are based on honest industry facts.

Thank you for your time. Sincerely--Mike_mgoblue

I am not disputing that after including the main feature, a typical Blu-ray disc will generally have less room left for supplementary material than a typical HD-DVD. What I don't agree with is that this necessarily leads to the conclusion "[t]his is the main reason why Blu-ray discs have far fewer special features and bonus content than HD-DVD or standard DVD movies" as the article states. Neither of the two statements
  1. Blu-ray discs have far fewer special features and bonus content than HD-DVD or standard DVD movies
  2. This is because of lack of room on the Blu-ray disc
follow directly from the premises in the article. It seems to me that the latter is a conclusion you've drawn yourself based on the facts you've presented. If this statement indeed originated with yourself and not from a reliable source, it is precisely what is meant by original research.
Remember that the inclusion criteria for Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. As true as the fact that 2+2=4 may seem to you, if you can't find a single reliable source that has published the assertion "2+2=4" then - believe it or not - you're not allowed to include that information on Wikipedia. Similarly, unless you can find a reliable source that claims that "[t]his is the main reason why Blu-ray discs have far fewer special features and bonus content than HD-DVD or standard DVD movies", that sentence has no place in a Wikipedia article - regardless of whether it is true or not. —Gabbe 10:50, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Gabbe, don't throw Wikipedia policies at people. Read the review for the first hddvds and Blu Ray discs that came out for the same movie. actually it was three movies at the same day. The reviewers came to the same opinion. If you want I can find the sources again. I think Mike's comment could be edited to say that so long as the studios continue to use MPEG2, there will be less extra space on a whatever number layer blu ray disc than a whatever number layer hd dvd disc. --gatoatigrado 05:44, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ps3 article locked?

"Protected in some way" - what is this? You should be able to edit the ps3 article. You aren't banned as far as I can see. It's not locked down at all. You're right about the HDMI cable thing, although it's not as bad news as the 4 month Europe delay. --gatoatigrado 05:37, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PS3 Upcoming Games

Mike, you say the game "Coded Arms: Assault" was canceled. No proof or any talk other than you has been produced. Until then, this game is still official. If Famitsu confirms it, then you must have the magazine, and you can produce a scan, and send it into Kotaku, Gamespot, IGN, and others yourself. When proof has been show, then we shall count it as cancelled. --WhereAmI 02:27, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Update: You have been asked not to vandalize articles before, I hope you are not lying otherwise this is another thorn for your account.--WhereAmI 02:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
It is nice that you got a source this time. Before deletion, lets wait on Konami's word.--WhereAmI 00:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for not counting some sort of "strike" or "thorn" in my account. I was just trying to help the website so that it has the most updated information available. I did my best to provide a link for you. I showed the IGN website. I hope that this is what you were looking for; your comment seems to indicate that I did provide you with what you were looking for. Could you please tell me if I did get some sort of strike against me, just so I don't worry. I have seizures caused by stress, so please tell me when you can.

Sincerely, Mike Mike mgoblue 04:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Please post official statements as proof to back your edits

What's the point of claiming the cancellation of any game without any solid and official proof? That will only make you look like an Internet troll. Granted this is not such a ridiculous claim as the whole PS3 DMC4 cancellation you were so confident about not long ago with groundless arguments, but it's still not true unless the publisher states it is. What is more, the original source of all these alleged cancellations, Famitsu, has recently stated that the information regarding Konami's cancelled projects is wrong.
