Request for Searches / Alternative Titles
24 days ago
United States

With the new game Sonic x Shadow Generations releasing there are two boards since they are technically packaged as different games: Sonic Generations Shadow Generations

It would be great if both could appear when searching "Sonic x Shadow Generations". Currently nothing shows up which could lead to a lot of confusion and pointless game requests.

As one solution, adding an "alternative titles" field to a game's settings to appear in search results would be beneficial to multiple games. For example different names based on regions like Soul Blade (US/EU) vs Soul Edge (JP) and Fan Dubbed names to differentiate same name games like Sonic 1, Sonic 8-bit, Sonic GBA, and Sonic 06, each titled "Sonic the Hedgehog".

My 1st thought: Quite a number of games are probably affected by alternative titles. My 2nd thought: Huh, I moderate a game that is affected (Star Control 2 has 2 alternative names for their modern ports due to legal issues: "The Ur-Quan Masters" and "Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters"). Well, count me interested.

Have you submitted this suggestion as a ticket for the devs? https://www.speedrun.com/support/tickets/new

I didn't realize you could use the support tickets for feedback. But now that I see there is actually an option for that, I went ahead and formally submitted this as well.
