Talk:Heroes: The Mobile Game
citing Arthur Petrelli and Maury Parkman?
Can we use names referenced from this source, since it is an official Heroes sanctioned product? The reason I ask, is because of the specific screen-shot where it names Angela and Arthur Petrelli. Since it lists his first name as Arthur, can we use that to update his page here to include his first name? Similar case with Maury Parkman. Can we list his page to say Maury? --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 10/17/2007 09:51 (EST)
- My issue with this is it's not "canon" in the sense that it's not a GN or an episode. However, the story for the game was written by the writing staff of Heroes, so it's pretty valid. That's why it's placed in notes, just as we do with regards to any interviews from the writing staff.--Bob (Talk) 14:39, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
- I guess that brings up another question then. As new 'material' comes out that is from the official Heroes camp, then why wouldn't something like a video game (in this instance) be considered canon in respect to issues that are concrete like names of primary characters. Why wouldn't then the Heroes mobile game be accepted as a new source of canon material? It is a supplement to the show just like GNs are, and it isn't like Heroes 360 where there are areas within it that allow external contribution. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 10/17/2007 14:48 (EST)
- Because you can make Hiro die in the museum, which didn't happen in the show. It's a game that isn't scripted, and to me, makes it not part of canon in that it's not the story told by the writers, but an interactive tool for fans like Heroes 360, which isn't considered canon.--Bob (Talk) 14:50, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
- Of course the non-concrete aspects of the game couldn't be used in that manner (Hiro being killed), but the concrete info that the writers place into the game that isn't effected by the play of the game should be consistent with canon. Names of people, or specific unchangeable characteristics or data about people, revealed within the game, isn't something we can manipulate to contradict other cannonical sources. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 10/17/2007 14:53 (EST)
