I have a question relating to a specific item, Final Fantasy X-X2 HD in video games (but this could apply to similar issues on other items):

Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X2 are two separate games and were originally released separately, although X2 is a sequel. However a few years ago, both games were remastered and released together on one disc - although they’re still very much two separate playable games on the one disc.

My question is, should these games be two separate items on the site as that’s how they were originally released? Or is the remastered version with both together fine to keep as an item in its own right? I don’t want to amend the current item with both if it’s ok to leave like this.

You wouldn’t have a separate item for an old film that has been rereleased on Blu-ray, so assuming the same would apply for games?

Not for sure, but I'd list it as the remastered version containing both games, since there's usually a release date or other identifying factors that would separate it from the original releases. It's a stand-alone product, and someone might be looking for info on that version. Also, sometimes there ends up being good or bad things in the re-released versions, and that info would be better specifically listed for each version of the game.

I would say that the remastered versions of games are fine to enlist as their own item since there are huge differences usually between the original and the remake. However, the game that was released on one combined disk would probably be listed as one item - Hope this helps! :)

Amazing!

Couldn't be more engrossed every time I watch this film!! I grew up watching this with my sister's and it's the right amount of comedy witchy romantic horror.

Story about two girls that loose there father to a curse and there mother from heart break, they move in with there aunts who are witches like them they grow up learning spells and then part ways one goes off to explore the world one stays home, they both fall in love one has two witchy girls and the other..........turns out she loved a psychopath working together the two sisters 'get rid of him' with the police investigating them and the ex boyfriend coming back to haunt them this witchy comedy soon turns to a darker setting and it's a race in time to get rid once again.

Incredible film if you have not watched the two brilliant actresses sandra bullock and Nicole Kidman together in this film, you need to!

Hey Smashbombers!

I wanted to tell you about a cool feature we have here on Smashbomb!

Did you know that you can link items that relate to each other? For example: a Movie that is based on a Book, you can link the Book and the Movie together - or link a Movie with the Movie soundtrack - or link a Tech item with a corresponding App - or a Podcast that is based on a TV Show.

You can link these related items together to help us all discover more items!

It's really easy to do, simply go to one of the relevant items, for example Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (MOVIE), click edit, scroll down to 'related items' and search for the other item, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (BOOK) - then hit 'SAVE' and the items will be linked, just like the picture example below!

Hopefully you will find this feature helpful,
Happy Reviewing & Linking!
Ollie.

All I want to be able to do in my boring quarantine life is to be able to add DLC to Video Game items in the same way you can add seasons to TV items. I'm just sad like that 😭
