Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Differences in Asian releases

Thanks for help, all.  I really appreciate it.  I'm going to make a new listing for it in the [CN] category then, since that feels like the most appropriate spot and an admin says it can go in any category.

any difference art wise on the case is cause for a new item being created. we are cataloguing every variation of a game possible so if the first picture is truly the exact same as the copy you own then it will require a new addition to the database. it may be the exact same game but the difference is the logos in the bottom left of the case.

Sorry if I didn't explain it well.  The top one is definitely the copy I have because I scanned that image from my cover art myself.  I wanted to make a new listing but I didn't know what region to put it under because I didn't know which region either version came from.

The top game is for a general Asian market [AS]. The bottom game is specifically for the Taiwanese market because it has the Taiwanese rating system. So that game would have the TLD code [TW] in the item name.

Tripredacus is our true authority on these things though

Okay, since it's a general Asian release, which section of Playstation 4 would I add the new listing under since a Playstation 4 [AS] category doesn't exist on its own.  Would I slide it into the [CN] or [TW] listings with the [AS] added to the title?

Video Game Database Discussion / Differences in Asian releases

« on: April 18, 2017, 10:57:08 am »

Okay, so hopefully I can explain myself here.

I ordered a copy of the game Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament on PS4.  I made edits on a listing thinking it was the same version but the art edits were rejected by an admin because it turns out there are two versions of them.  Now I'm stuck.  I don't know what the differences between them are.  Does anyone know what the difference between these two releases would be?

This is the version I have.



This is the version that the database currently has listed.




Obviously the lack of a rating on mine is a huge difference.  I ordered my copy from a Malaysian store but I don't know if Malaysia gets their own releases generally or it shares release versions with a different area.  Does anyone know anything about these kinds of releases?  I'm clueless and I want to make sure the database stays accurate.

Video Game Database Discussion / Question about Vita Item Numbers

« on: February 18, 2017, 07:37:06 pm »

Hi, I did a quick search and didn't see an answer for this, so I do apologize if this has been asked before.

Anyway, according to the style guide thread in this section, all of Sony's item numbers should be four letters, a dash, and then a set of numbers.  On Playstation Vita releases, there is a number on the card that matches this while there is a different item number on the spine of the box that is just a series of numbers.  The latter is on numerous game pages instead of the former.  Which is the correct one to use?  I just want to make sure I add accurate information in the future.  Thanks!

EDIT:  Here's an example.  https://vgcollect.com/item/119191  The simple string of numbers from the spine is currently in the Item Number field and you can see the PCSE number on the card in the third image.

Someone's had a field day adding incorrect pages to the NA Vita section.  None of these are North American releases
