UnMetal

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that UnMetal is a parody of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake?

• Source: Almost every review and article about the game, but here's two

• ALT1: ... that in UnMetal, the player has to heal any enemies they shoot? Source: "... or the player being forced to use some of their limited health kits to heal enemies that they use lethal force on thanks to Fox’s insistence that he will not kill because he’s not an assassin."
• ALT2: ... that in UnMetal, the player saves their game by using a urinal? Source: "They can be difficult at first so fast save often with your portable bedpan…yes, a bedpan. Plus, you must empty it out at real save points, which are restrooms."
• ALT3: ... that the protagonist of UnMetal was originally created for a canceled game that donated money to humanitarian aid NGOs based on the player's game progress? Source: "Jesse Fox has an interesting origin story linked to a project code-named Afraid Project. It was a game in which progress made by the players would have an impact on the real world. For each successful operation performed by Jesse, there would be a donation to an NGO." This is also mentioned in the in-game digital artbook.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The plot section does not have inline sourcing, but this is not required per MOS:PLOTSOURCE. ALT2 talks about using a bedpan to save and needing to empty it to save again, which is not exactly what the hook says. It may need to be reworded if it is the hook chosen, but I believe other hooks are more interesting anyway, especially ALT3. The source provided for ALT3 does not mention humanitarian aid, but this is mentioned in other sources in the article. I believe this DYK is ready to go. Muhandes (talk) 11:04, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
