Redefine game submition page #6

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The game submission page needs to reflect appropriate fields for games.
This is a non-development task, we just need someone to map the existing
fields to what they should be then we can create a development task to
make-it-so.

Genre may remain the same, however, we need to add platforms.

Status is for if the show is currently running, on hold, cancelled, etc. We 
might be
able to use this for in print, discontinued, or just something reflecting the 
current
state.

Ratings need to be changed to reflect video game ratings.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Are you talking about Rating as in "E", "T", "M" and so on?  or as in a star 
rating?

Original comment by smid...@gmail.com on 16 Apr 2010 at 7:59

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Rating as ESRB ratings, so yeah, E, T, M, etc.

Also, what should we put in Status?

Not sure what to put for status.

In my opinion we should just be allowing games that have the following ratings:

eC - EARLY CHILDHOOD
Titles rated EC (Early Childhood) have content that may be suitable for ages 3 
and 
older. Contains no material that parents would find inappropriate.

E - EVERYONE
Titles rated E (Everyone) have content that may be suitable for ages 6 and 
older. 
Titles in this category may contain minimal cartoon, fantasy or mild violence 
and/or 
infrequent use of mild language.
(This Rating should encompass the EVERYONE 10+ ESRB rating as well. E will be 
the 
only choice for this range.)

T - TEEN
Titles rated T (Teen) have content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older. 
Titles 
in this category may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal 
blood, 
simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language.

M - MATURE
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 
and 
older. Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, 
sexual 
content and/or strong language.

I think games with an A (ADULTS ONLY) rating probably don't belong on this site 
since 
they're usually pornography related.

If we end up putting short gameplay videos on the site, that would include 
games with 
a Mature rating.  We might want to put some kind of age disclaimer on the site 
so 
that we're not responsible for verifying user age before a gameplay video with 
an M 
rating is watched.

I believe one of the GTA games is AO.

I noticed that a lot of older games have the AO rating, and I believe that this 
was 
just merged into the E category.  I think we should just file any AO games 
under E.
