  • Be sure to share your suggestion with others to gain more support!
  • Note: Suggestions are not guarantees that we will take action on an idea. We will try our best to communicate why an idea may not work, but may not always be able to share that information.
  • Titles that are unclear or unnecessarily vulgar may be reworded to better reflect the request for ease of discovery

  1. Now that twitch has the "view on IGDB" feature, the reverse of it will be really useful for both game devs as well as contributors. It will also help in finding if there is any issue in the one-to-one mapping.

  2. Net Yaroze should be added as platform distinct from Playstation, there's enough games to justify for it this.

  4. Hello! I thought it might be neat to see the Apple/Bandai Pippin added as a platform.

  5. game released in 2015 with the title mortal kombat x mobile has undergone a name change over the years, so the game cannot be found to be able to stream with it, that makes the community even lower.
    2 days ago I tried to enter the game into the database but since it is registered, said action was denied, but if it is registered, why is it not in the "Mortal Kombat x MOBILE" category?

  6. Hi guys!! I search about a filter by oficial games but I'm not found :(
    Maybe this filter is interesting, because right now the API returns a lot of non oficial games from the list.

    Thankssss <3

  7. PICO-8 is a Fantasy Console used to play and create games. I feel like this should be added to the categories as this will be my main source when streaming. I think it would be awesome if you guys could add this so I can select this as my category for streaming.

  8. Please add posters, background art, and summary for collections and franchises.

    Comparing a collection on TheMovieDB -> https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/645-james-bond-collection

    To one on IGDB -> https://www.igdb.com/collections/james-bond

    You can see it's pretty lacking on IGDB. Hope this can be improved!

  9. Please consider adding filters to lists based on the platforms contained in the list (or predefined).

    This will help, for instance, to find what to play next for people who own multiple platforms.

    Just imagine, you open your wishlist filter it by “switch”, and voila: you see only games that you wanted to play on switch.

  10. I have quite a few lists now and just scrolling through them to find the one I want is less than ideal. It would be great if we could have a way to sort lists for instance, simple folders, to make the list page more manageable.

  11. Why are some of the PS1, PS2, & PSP Classics titles being released on the PS4 & PS5 being given duplicate entries and being called "ports"? These games are not ports, they are the same exact game released on PS1, PS2, & PSP playable on PS4 & PS5 entirely through emulation. There is a layer outside of the game that allows the unlocking of trophies and save states, however the game itself is completely unmodified, anything extra is all being done through the consoles emulation layer.

    Examples of this are Twisted Metal, Syphon Filter, The Legend of Dragoon, and many…

  12. Hello!
    I've been working on a project wrapping the IGDB API into Rust language code:

    https://github.com/yurypcf/igdb

    It's a open source project, and it's working pretty well.
    I'm planning to contribute consistently. I'd appreciate a documentation update in the section WRAPPERS of the IGDB official API reference with the project repository. Thanks!

  13. There are two video games named Splatterhouse. One of them is a 3D M-rated video game that was released in 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The second is a 2D T-rated video game that was released in 1988 in arcades and consoles such as the TurboGrafx-16.

    To keep them distinct, the IGDB labels the M-rated video game “Splatterhouse (2010)” and the T-rated video game “Splatterhouse (1988)”.

    But in Twitch, both video games are listed as “Splatterhouse”. As a result, when a streamer chooses the game “Splatterhouse”, Twitch automatically assumes the streamer is playing both Splatterhouse (2010) and…

  14. Games listed as Bundles on IGDB aren't selectable as Twitch categories, and for things like Gunvolt Striker Pack where you're either playing Gunvolt 1 or Gunvolt 2 that makes sense.

    Certain Bundles feel like experiences of their own though. I've been streaming the Game & Watch Gallery series recently and its frustrating that there's no category for it, the games it bundles together are small games, so you're naturally going to be playing around the collection, but Twitch has each individual game selectable rather than the bundle as a whole. I think it would be much better to just have…

  15. https://pedia.watcha.com/en-KR/

    This website is a Korean website called "Watchapedia" which is a user review webstie of movies and TV shows. This website is basically based on humongous number of simple user review of each contents. Users easily can rate with 1 to 10 point system into thier watched contents, and using these big data, AI gives each user what to watch next. I think this idea is very useful and also adaptable to game industry too. How about enhancing rating system into next level and making some progress similar to "Watchapedia"?

  16. There is at least one known issue regarding the company page.

    (see https://discord.com/channels/114736716505546761/173875325304832000/1113002167096328246)

    But maybe you can discuss the company page in general at some point?

  17. I noticed through advanced search a large number of games have tags to fit the year they were released, however a manual system creates some holes in that example and more uncommon titles don't have the tag. It would benefit much more to give a game the proper tag via the accepted change itself once it's release date is given/edited.

  19. Please add Dota 1 as separate category, as presented here:
    https://www.igdb.com/games/defense-of-the-ancients

    Currently streamers are forced to use Warcraft III as game even though they are playing strictly Dota.

    Hi!


    Unfortunately Twitch does not ingest MODs as streaming categories, and from a categorisation point of view that is nonetheless correct for us on IGDB: Dota 1 is indeed a MOD of Warcraft 3.


    What we'd recommend is to reach out to Twitch Support directly for the creation of a bespoke category, they are able to do override on certain categories. 

    Alternatively you may ask here directly for a new category to be created: https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover?category_id=367945 


    Hope this helps!

  20. How about making "Rated game list" design similar to gog galaxy 2.0 system?

    The design is something like this.
