Talk:IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover

Revision to reflect current status of game

I have edited this to indicate the current status - notably the frequency of development updates on the 1C:Maddox forum. I have also added a section indicating the current uncertainty as to whether Ubisoft will in fact be the publisher - I'd like to be able to provide a reference for this, but am unable to find anything definitive. I think the amendment is valid, however, as Ubisoft have said nothing on the subject since early press releases, and uncharacteristically make no mention of it when discussing future products. This silence by Ubisoft has been noted on several relevant forums. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:24, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Undid revision

I've reverted an edit starting "This game will never be released, and frankly, I am sick of waiting for it...". The opinions of the person making the edit about the delays to the release of SoW:BoB don't seem appropriate to an encyclopaedia, and in any case, were in entirely the wrong part of the article. If someone wants to add a non-POV section on the slipping timeframe for SoW:BoB release, this might be appropriate however. Ideally, this would include references to the various proposed release dates. AndyTheGrump (talk) 01:53, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

If there's unlikely to be any further information in the immediate future, I suggest redirecting this to 1C Company per WP:PRODUCT. All we have here is a press release. Marasmusine (talk) 08:10, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

There is continuing information coming out about product development on the 1C:Maddox website, and also in interviews etc elsewhere. I'm not entirely sure it merits the work necessary in providing references to all this, however. I amended the article as it was out of date, but I did wonder whether SoW:BoB actually merits an article at all. Are there many other articles on unreleased games software?

Only a few, and then only when there has been significant media coverage (Duke Nukem Forever and E.T. spring to mind!) So, this will depend on the quality of those interviews. If they are just press kits, and therefore not genuine secondary sources, then redirection is recommended. Marasmusine (talk) 18:56, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Disputed PROD

I've removed the WP:PROD tag from this article because I see plenty of reliable sources covering it substantially enough to satisfy WP:GNG. Examples include the following:

• IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Revisited | bit-gamer.net
• IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover review | News | PC Gamer
• IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover - PC - IGN
• IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover for PC Reviews, Ratings, Credits
• Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover interview. We talk to Oleg Maddox

There are plenty of others as well. These sources need to be added to the article and the article needs to be expanded, not deleted. -Thibbs (talk) 05:05, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
