Revision as of 20:56, 24 November 2010

Deletion

Pictogram minus.png Oppose This is related to TF2 for multiple reasons above and beyond other games that have had tie-ins in the past:

  • It stars a character from TF2 in an active and integral role
  • It provides several items for TF2 directly through gameplay

--STUART 23:13, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Again, all of which are covered by other articles. There is a reason this article didn't exist until you made it. FlotsamX 23:14, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Once the game comes out on Monday there will be information unique to the game that won't fit on those articles. It deserves a stub as much as Source Filmmaker. --STUART 23:16, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Considering how close the release is, and the fact that the items JUST got added to the game files, I'd say at least leave it here to be expanded on after release. --Wing Dairu 02:05, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support: I'd say link to the wikipedia article like in Hammer Editor. There's nothing we can say about it that wikipedia won't. For the items we just leave the nav in there. --CruelCow (talk) 23:33, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support It's been discussed already, Poker Night is to be a passing mention on the Heavy's page and the items currently have their own articles. There's really no need to be creating a page when it's already been said that there won't be one. Unless the admins change their mind, I support deletion. Satorifan 04:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support No need for an article about a separate game. It's not a TF2 game. It is simply borrowing assets. Moussekateer 04:26, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support I don't see a point, we might as well create a page for L4D, worms and anyother game if we're going to have article for poker night Drakaenae 04:46, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram neutral.png Neutral While I see your point no class was a main character in those games. --Jordan 06:24, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support I'm all for delete this, unless we find out it brings some more relevant information about TF2's world that can justify a specific article. Which, honestly, I highly doubt. Let's wait some days.--Kid Of The Century 08:12, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support i don't think we need this. the folk over at the homestar runner wiki don't have an entry. so i don't quite think we need one either HyenaDip 17:52, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support With a link to the wikipedia, we dont need to make an article for this game. Sr Domi 23:13, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram minus.png Oppose I am in favor of having a Poker Night page in the wiki. The page does not have to be all inclusive of every detail of the game, that is the ground of the TTG wiki. We can have general information regarding the game and why it is relevant to TF2. (Heavy Weapons Guy) I suggest this page should be, more or less, a landing page where the other wiki's characters can be linked to.
I do, however, agree with previous sentiments that Poker Night is not our game, so we should not parent the information. We should instead support the game, because there are some facts that we can not avoid:

Pictogram plus.png Support Its a game thats not TF2, this is a TF2 wiki. It should not be here Natemckn 14:01, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support per CruelCow. --Leftism 14:05, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram minus.png Oppose There's a bunch of non-canon TF2 stuff and backstory in Poker Night. If we only focus on the Heavy's role, it wouldn't be unrelated. Have pictures of Heavy's board, maybe pictures of his deck, stuff like that. I know I'm curious what Heavy's table in the game looks like, and this would be the spot I would assume to find this information Balladofwindfishes 15:09, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram neutral.png Neutral The Heavy and the items from the game are the only things really tying PNatI to TF2; if nothing else, I think that a subsection could be devoted to this in the Heavy's article along with information such as encounters the Heavy has had in-game with other TF2 characters (nothing really specific though). ButteredToast 15:19, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram minus.png Oppose It's relevant. Who cares if it's a separate game, so is TFC, but it shares traits with TF2, so does this, even more so than Tfc in some ways since it is tied into TF2's drop system. What harm is there in having the page? Crap 15:41, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram minus.png Oppose Many gaming wikis have articles on the Smash Bros. series if they're represented in it; this is a very similar situation. Toomai Glittershine 16:57, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

A question on the characters

  • uhh , i don't know if this would go right here to ask this but the other places specified don't seem to cover it; but what I'm asking is this, do the characters seem to anyone like they have their own poker play style? I find the Heavy to be like a "act first think later" kind of player, and Strongbad to be a "Wild Card" of sorts. I just want to know if anyone notices this in the game...?--Awesome Weegee 11:21, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
    • Quite a few people have noticed that on the various forums. No idea if it's article-material though.--Jetamo 11:07, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Responses

May I suggest we make a page something like... Heavy Poker Night responses? So we could document all the stories etc. --Jetamo 11:04, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Until we hear otherwise, Poker night is non-canon. Any dialogue from it doesn't belong on the wiki. But feel free to compile them on a talk page if you want, I've seen some people do that. Moussekateer 11:06, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Content from Poker Night

I have successfully extracted all the content from the .ttarch files of Poker Night, including textures, voices, music, etc. Since this is Telltale property, I am assuming unless otherwise specified or ok, we should not be using this content on the wiki? Ventus 19:39, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I currently found and converted all the music to FLAC format (aka WAV PCM compressed). I doubt anyone would need the sound effects of chips, cards, etc. The voice files for the character's lines are in .vox files, which if I found right, are to be WAV + transcript (essentially, the subtitles). Once I figure that out, I'll convert all the lines of the Heavy first. All the .vox files are randomly named, so finding an exact situational voice clip (i.e. where Heavy talks to Strong Bad as Tiny Heavy) may be difficult. Ventus 20:56, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
