Who wants to win an island?

...or 50,000, your choice. Interesting info to add in:

Done - That was interesting. I wonder what island it would be. Regardless, I've added it in. AdrianGamer (talk) 08:34, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Composer Edits

In December 2015 there were a few edits related to the way the composers were listed. Zach Abramson and Alex Belcher were moved into a notes section and out of the infobox. Guidelines state that the Info Box composer should "List people who contributed significantly to the soundtrack."

Both Zach Abramson and Alex Belcher were credited as composers in the game credits. Zach Abramson is listed in the opening credits along with Henry Jackman and Both Zach Abramson and Alex Belcher are listed in the closing credits . Additionally, this Q and A with the Audio Lead mentions "Henry Jackman and uber-talented NYC based composer, Zach Abramson" as creating the sound track. Should Zach and possibly Alex be moved back into the Info Box?

You already linked the closing credits, and you are right. Starting at 3:30, it says "Music Composed by Henry Jackman, Additional Composition by Zach Abramson, Alex Belcher"; same goes for the opening credits, except for Belcher being left out probably because of his late additions. "Additional" is the key word here. Abramson and Belcher are not a significant part of the composition team, which is why they do not apply for a direct-field insside the infobox. Rather, the efn is ok for this. Lordtobi (✉) 15:21, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that they are listed differently in the credits, but the guidelines do not mention the credits as the metric for determining inclusion in the infobox. The Q and A with the audio lead, mentions Zach Abramson along with Henry Jackman as creators of the soundtrack which I think most would agree falls under the guideline's umbrella of "contributing significantly". Based on the sources available, it appears that both Jackman and Abramson were responsible for different elements of the soundtrack. Kennethj88 (talk) 20:50, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We would have to have a list of songs with "composed by whom" credits to see how far it actually goes. The Q&A only states that both worked on it, which is like 'yeah, they had a song'. If had such a list, we could count: "3 songs by [x] and the other 27 by [y], maybe one by [z]". As long as that is, we only have the credits to tell us what is what. Aside from that, the only source you are poiting out, namely the Q&A, is a blog entry by an anonymous user on the game's website, which just be exaggerating; "uber-talented" is not a thing, is it? A quick Google search about Abramson reveals nothing more than Facebook profiles, a Metacritic profile, news about the Q&A and a review by 'Bleeding Cool News', not that notable I suppose. There are other fan-run or bot-run sites that mention the soundtrack as "by Jackman & Abramson", which can easily be dosposed by seeing that Belcher is not even noted down once, people just see the names in the intro and believe that this is how it is, nobody knows better, but we should.

The Bavarium scanner

There is a huge discrepancy with the Bavarium Scanner in Conflicting Interests. The main Wikipedia article mentions: "As he does not trust Sheldon to have the rebels' interests in mind, Rico sabotages the scanner before delivering it to him." If you play the mission, Rico isn't shown to sabotage anything, and when Dimah mentions the scanner is damaged and may explode, he says in a frustrated tone, "We REALLY need to talk about your designs, Dimah!" Note that in Time for an Upgrade, Rico's new grappler nearly explodes and Dimah shuts it down. And in the Sky Fortress DLC's first mission, when Rico is testing out the new Bavarium-infused wingsuit, he says, "Why do Dimah's inventions always explode when they fail?"

When the scanner goes 'off the scale' and explodes, Rico says, "Oh, I know just what to do with that ruined scanner," implying that now the scanner is useless, he will give it to Sheldon. JustAnotherNZWikipedian (talk) 22:44, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
