Talk:Clock Tower (1996 video game)

Buyo Buyo mode in JP version?

This is the first I've heard of the Buyo Buyo mode actually being a part of the game, so I'm marking it until someone provides some sort of reference. Endaso 19:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Buyo Buyo does exist. I've seen screencaps, and my guide for the Japanese version of the game has a small section for it.67.163.193.239 19:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Attribution?

I noticed that whoever posted the character descriptions lifted a lot of stuff verbatim out of this file at GameFAQs: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/clock_tower.txt . How should the attribution be set up? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.119.90.80 (talk) 06:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

Fair use rationale for Image:Clock Tower 1 Game.jpg

Image:Clock Tower 1 Game.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:14, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll be back to this with a review shortly. If I'm not back in four days, ping me.

Review

• "Each character has three levels of strength." - It doesn't say anything about multiple characters until much later in the section. This needs addressing.
  • Changed to "The player character..."
• "After the events of Clock Tower (1995), Jennifer Simpson was adopted by Helen Maxwell" - Maybe alter the link to read "After the events of the original Clock Tower, central protagonist Jennifer Simpson was adopted by Helen Maxwell".
  • Done
• "The game offered a deep horror atmosphere that few games at the time had" - Who said this?
  • That was a stretch of what was said in first paragraph of GameSpot review. Reworded.
• "[15][1][2]" - This sequence appears repeatedly in the Reception section. It needs to be rearranged as "[1][2][15]".
  • Done
• "In 2006, GameTrailers placed Clock Tower at #10 on their "Top Ten Horror Games" list.[22]" - That's inaccurate. [ This] is their "Top Ten Horror Games" list, and it makes no mention of Clock Tower. The reference says "Top Ten Scariest Games", which does. The prose needs correction to match up with the reference.
  • Done
• As a matter of safety, you should archive the online references.
  • Done

That's all I found. I'll put the article on hold until the issues are addressed. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:18, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

@ProtoDrake: Thanks for this review, all issues addressed. TarkusAB 03:26, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

@TarkusAB: Don't see anything else outstanding. I'll give this a Pass. --ProtoDrake (talk) 09:07, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Contemporary reviews:

Yeah, gonna be difficult for a JP only game, but it would be nice if this article could have some more contemporary reviews added. I added Famitsu's score, which is a start. I'll keep looking around. The source would be gaming mags from 96. Harizotoh9 (talk) 09:42, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
