HELP! Anyone has the dataset of game series?

[Zhiqiang Lee]

anyone know how to collect a full data for game series/sequels?

[Bee🐝]

What kind of data?

[Zhiqiang Lee]

Thanks for your reply! I wanna collect a whole dataset (game's name is okay) of different game series, like Tomb Raider series, Xenoblade series...

There is this amazing thing called an "Internet Search" that can find this information for you if you use it and search different keywords and phrases.
For instance: https://www.google.com/search?q=list+of+all+Tomb+Raider+games&oq=list+of+all+Tomb+Raider+games&aqs=chrome..69i57.9277j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

And what is most amazing is that it works in any browser with a search function.

You can also create a custom query with their data

What kind of data?

Game titles belonging to the series?
Developers? All people who worked on it? Player statistics? Price history? Boob sizes of female protagonists? Availability of weapons based on aquatic lifeforms?

If I'm too lazy to do an internet search, I'll just do a Steam search on the game name, go to the store page of the game, and then look for bundles that might have all of the games in the series included. Not every store page for one game in a series will have bundle information, but a lot of them do.

If I don't find a bundle being offered on that one store page, then I'll do another search on the same name and try to find another game in the series on the list of options. Then I'll go to that store page and look for a bundle again.

If that still fails and I think there might be more in the series, then I'll finally look the game up online. Wikipedia is often a good source for a list of all games in a series and their release dates.

Lots of games have their own separate wiki sites, as well.

The only problem I have with the PCGaminingWiki is that a lot of their info is incomplete- their list has 13 games, another site has 17 games: https://prnt.sc/1pVgTzbZsal7 (and the 17 games list is missing "Lara Croft Go" too).
Multiple searches and multiple sources to make sure you have all of the information, especially since IPs for games can and do change hands, and lists may only have those from the original IP holder, or a source's "preferred" IP holder or holders.

Right, nothing comes for free, you have to help completing the wiki first.
As seen here[www.pcgamingwiki.com], both developers and publishers are a list of pages, so you can keep historical info

That screenshot is showing a "gameboy color game", that's not a pc game

The OP did not ask for a list of PC-only games, though. Just a complete list of all games in a franchise or series. Which would include console and mobile games for that IP.

Realmente no sabría decirte con especificaciones para poder resolver tu consulta.

Why not use Wikipedia as a start? It often lists all games in series, including the different platforms they were on.

Actually Game titles are enough! Other information can be scraped through the titles

I guess that the missing ones are DLC or extended packs?

Gamefaqs is your best bet.

It's not perfect as it will miss games from time to time (especailly really obscure ones), but it's the best you can get as it lists almost everything available and there's certain tools for you to list by publisher, console, year, etc.

Aside from that if you concentrate on certain platforms there are sites out there that lists everything by catalogue number, such as Playstation releases. I've used them to fill out my collection before now.
