Title: Player's Choice Related Games
Post by: Shepy on August 11, 2014, 08:22:41 PM
I'm using this as an example. http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-076-S-01240-B

There are currently no related games for this title although it is released on PS2 and XBOX. It's non player's choice equivalent links to it's version on other consoles however. Should this Player's Choice version be linked to the "Greatest Hits" and "Platinum Hits" Versions on respective consoles? What if no such versions existed on other consoles?

i think related games can really be anything that's remotely related to it, it sounds like you're confusing related games with variants which do have more precise tie-ins.

Variation Titles link to the same console ONLY, and automatically propagate through the system. Related Games link to the same type (Software/Hardware), and are only for the individual pages. There aren't any standards for Related Games, though linking to the same game on a different consoe, games in the same series, or games that are spiritual successors are encouraged.
