  • 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

  3. Topline: Many platforms have different media types e.g. cart, cd, digital, disk, cassette etc. These media types often have different artwork/coverart for a game when compared to each other.

    The ask: Provide an endpoint to show cover art and game details per medium per game

    Why:
    This way we could say: show me games for just this platforms medium and their associated cover art and details e.g. perhaps the CD release was different to the Digital release.

    Background:
    The Famicom Disk System had a bunch of games, which you’ve got, but the art work and medium - in this case…

  4. Subsidiary companies have their parent company listed on their pages; I think it would be helpful if this information flowed backwards, and a parent company had its children listed on the page.

    Ideally this would work both ways, so that the data point could be entered from either the parent company's page or the subsidiary's.

  5. I am in my 30s and time is scarce so some times I cannot play a game but still watch it on YouTube/Twitch.
    Seems like a good thing to have to be able to distinguish watched vs played (maybe as a sub category) in igdb

  6. I don't believe this has been suggested yet and I believe this would be a useful data point. While not a major gaming release region, even compared so something like Korea, Russia or Brazil, I think its necessary to include due to the number of regional exclusives, particularly on the PlayStation 2 & 3.

    One example already on IGDB is 'Hanuman: Boy Warrior' which current has it's region as 'Asia', which while geographically closer, Indian releases belong more with European releases and since they're rated by PEGI, at least from my understanding.

  7. Hi,
    On the platforms page "https://www.igdb.com/platforms" and when querying the API for the base platform, the platform logo for the base "Nintendo 64 (Platform)" is currently by default the iQue image "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_cover_small/pl78.png" Shouldn't this image actually be the base platform image i.e. the N64 image "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_logo_med/pl77.png" the same image that is displayed when visiting that platforms main platform web page "https://www.igdb.com/platforms/n64"?

    In summary please can we change the base N64 platform image in the following areas:
    API - Platforms
    Platforms Web Page - https://www.igdb.com/platforms
    from:
    https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_logo_med/pl78.png (i.e. pl78.png)
    To:
    https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_logo_med/pl77.png (i.e. pl77.png)

    …

  8. Hi,

    On the profile (https://www.igdb.com/users/***) the lists order should be : Want > Playing > Played, like everywhere in the site, instead of the present order : Played > Playing > Want

    Reviewed and rated lists should be on the second line than on the first one too, for a better user interface experience.

    Thanks !

  9. On IGDB lists, sub status should remain updatable from the list view, even if the game is on a personal list.
    I don't know if it's a bug or a feature (if so, should be explain somewhere).
    Thank you !

  11. In modern gaming Publisher, Developer, and everything in between no longer represent the sensibilities and ideas on display in a final product. The real influence on the art, is the artist.

    I want for there to be some way to keep track of specific, decision making, people on development teams that make the games we all know and love. I want to follow the writing lead/team of Tyranny, I want to follow the design team/lead of Guild Wars 1, I want to assemble a list of those artists that make the pieces of media I enjoy. Through assembling this web…

  12. Being able to ask the search engine I question about a video game. Example could be instead of searching people or game you could query a separate group called "Questions" then type "Who is the creator of pac man" or "Who did software development for ultima online" etc. Could also be carried over to IMDB. example "who played billy in billy madison"

  13. Probably just had to edit too many Dress-up mobile games, but in all honesty "Romance" doesn't really feel too accurate of a description. Fashion could be a useful Theme for these types of titles and others.

  14. The only other games shown when on a game profile are reccomendations and past visits, DLC/updates notwithstanding. Design-wise there's a lot of empty space that could be utilized to fill with this, in my opinion, important additional information. Stuff like a Franchise view showing a simplified timeline of sequels/prequels, spinoffs. And perhaps the most egregious, mods are nowhere to be found! As far as I can tell you can only find a mod (or fangames for that matter) by specifically searching for the title, basically ensuring they will never be 'organically' discovered. That in particular could easily be solved by…

  15. Currently it is possible to add a status to each game entry of the database, which doesn't make sense sometimes: it should be possible to select which "version" of the game the user own and, separately, the status of the game.

    I might own a specific "edition" of a game (e.g. deluxe, collector, goty, etc...) but I am not playing the specific edition, I'm playing the game which is the same regardless the edition I own.
    Similar thing happens (especially) with bundles, as I own a bundle but I might (probably) have different status for each game of the bundle.

  16. It would be nice to have a market value field for the games.
    When looking for a game we do not own, it would be nice to understand how much it would cost to get it.
    It's easier for newer games as they're available in stores, but for old games available only by second hand it would be nice to have an idea of the average market price (maybe looking at platforms like eBay or similar).

  17. When a game has a lot of supported languages, for example https://www.igdb.com/games/cats-of-the-qing-dynasty, it cuts off the Interface options because the height of that section is set to 50vh, removing it or setting it to min-height: 50vh should fix that issue and allow people to (easily) add/remove interface languages

  19. I cannot seem to get versionparent or versiontitle fields back as my query returns a bunch of the same games and I am assuming it is a version thing like if I can filter by the main game only. I have even tried where parent_game = null and it doesnt seem to do anything
