Talk:City of the Daleks (video game)

Infobox

 * It's fine now. It was because Template:! was vandalised. ☆ The Solar Dragon  ( Talk - Contribs.) ☆ 11:14, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

"Previous story"
Unless there's actually something in the game that references the events of the yet-to-be-telecast season 5 finale, it's highly doubtful it takes place after The Big Bang. All the advance publicity says it takes place after the events of Victory of the Daleks, so that's what should be indicated, barring any direct reference to suggest otherwise. (I wouldn't know - outside the UK we aren't being allowed to see the game). 68.146.81.123 13:35, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure "previous story" is supposed to refer to the Doctor's timeline. The question is, what _is_ it supposed to refer to?


 * There are two similar cases to look at.
 * Attack of the Graske clearly takes place after The Christmas Invasion, and it was also broadcast after that episode. However, it skips the previous and next links in its infobox, and both The Christmas Invasion and New Earth (TV story) ignore it in theirs.
 * Music of the Spheres was released between Journey's End and The Next Doctor, but probably does not take place then in the Doctor's timeline. The infobox links to those two episodes anyway, and they both include links to it as well as secondary links to skip over it, and then the Timeline section discusses the issue.


 * Just as with MotS, we don't actually know when this occurs in the Doctor's timeline, except that it's some time while the 11th Doctor is traveling with Amy after Victory of the Daleks. It could be directly after that episode, or it could be after the 2011 Christmas special. We really don't know.


 * So, the MotS solution seems reasonable. Except that in that case, MotS was the last "episode" in production numbering, and it was broadcast after the last episode as well. In this case, the BBC have said the Adventure Games count as episodes 14-17 of series 5, but and the release dates are interleaved during the year (CotD being between Cold Blood and Vincent and the Doctor), so they don't match, and I have no idea which one is supposed to go there.


 * Given all this confusion, I think it's best to use the Graske solution and just not have these links. --Falcotron 17:14, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you disagree, please undo this change manually, rather than just reverting, because I accidentally made this change together with a set of other changes.... --Falcotron 17:38, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
