Title: Demo compilations developers and publishers
Post by: Schlibby on February 06, 2016, 12:26:13 PM
I've just added some demo discs from the Uk official PlayStation 2 magazine but was a bit unsure on what to put as the developer and publisher. Any thoughts? I guess this would also apply to other magazine demos for all systems and countries.

Developer - each game on the disc obviously has a different developer. SCEE do the programming to put all the demos on one disc though. So is the developer:
A) SCEE
B) Misc (or various)
C) SCEE / Misc?

Publisher - I'm guessing SCEE manufacture the discs. However the magazine itself is published by Future Publishing (who then started putting Future Games on the game box around the high #20s). So is the publisher:
A) Future Publishing (and later Future Games)
B) SCEE
C) Official PlayStation 2 Magazine-UK
D) a combination of 2 or all 3 of above?

Thats a good question. I have future plans to add game tapes from various C64 magazines. I would of done it like this:

Developer: Various
Publisher: Future Publishing

If I had to vote, I would agree with you on the Publisher. But Im thinking that SCEE needs specially accrediting as the Developer (they are the main force behind making the demo after all). So Developer: "SCEE + Various" maybe

Developer: SCEE / Various
Publisher: SCEE / Future Publishing

If you can recall a developer or two: SCEE / X / Y / Various
