Talk:Destiny of the Doctors (video game)

not enough information
This game does not get enough attention on this site. Where's the Graak, the plot, or where are the involvements of the monsters, such as Daleks or Autons? 20:57, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * well, if you know about the game (which I don't) then, by all means, add it to the entry. I haven't played it and don't know a lot about it. --Stardizzy2 21:06, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Attention can be given on the article's page. But as far as using info from the game on other article pages, that's another story. 'The City of Thoughts' had a lot of info (personally it was much better as a database than the game was as a game). But through the game the monsters were...a little odd. I seem to remember being able to defeat an Auton with a fire extinguisher (that shot water). I'm not sure if the game should count as canon. --Tangerineduel 13:43, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Even though I don't have the game I saw a fan edit of it on Youtube, which gave me quite a bit of info. I'll see what I can do. As for the canon claim, if you watch the end the Master is imprisoned and taken away to stand trial. This seems to lead into the TV movie. 20:16, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps. But then Lungbarrow also sets up for the TVM as does The Eight Doctors (the Eight Doctors specifically has a scene with the Master prior to going to the Daleks). The game is kinda in the same field as the choose your own advnture books, the game didn't always end in the Master being put on trial (often it ended in you being taunted by the Master for stuffing up something.) If we really need to place it in an article I think the other sources should take precedence. As I think plenty of the stuff in the game was just invented to fit the parameters of the game as I previously mentioned fire extinguisher = dead Auton...? Then there's the Zygons firing blue lasers at Graak...and what exactly the Cybermen keep saying? --Tangerineduel 13:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)--Tangerineduel 13:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Timeline
As far as I know the only info we sort-of know about where this falls in continuity is that for the Seventh Doctor and the Master, it's an indeterminate time before the TV Movie, perhaps leading directly into it with the Master's imprisonment. However, timeline additions are being made to place the other Doctors, with things like TVC, PHS, and ST listings brought in which strikes me as entirely bizarre; surely this game did not reference any TV Comics, nor could they have referenced this game, so where does that come from?

The only way we can place this for the past Doctors is by taking events the past Doctors mention in the in-game dialogue as having happened to them already, and placing their segments of this game sometime (an unknown length of time, of course) after that. However, we'd need to cite those somehow; perhaps by adding the notes that "the (Xth Doctor) mentions having (done thing Y) (DW: Episode Z)" into the continuity section. This would take some time and reference-hunting; I'm sporadically replaying the game and can do a bit of it. It would, of course, be limited to TV continuity. &mdash; Rob T Firefly - &#916;&#8711; - 17:12, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
