    Ok. It looks like the RE4 question has been considered and mostly settled. I would not agree that Dead Space (2008) and the Remake are completely different games. Namely, the plot line is the same. Additionally, they share almost identical achievement lists which, while not essential in determining a stack or not, definitely suggests how similar they are.

    What happened to the DC Series? I was low-key working on it and can no longer find it. The Marvel Series is still available (as a comparison of a similar series/franchise)

    Yes, that is strange. I requested the series on TrueTrophies, but never got a reply. In that message, I gave the links on TA and TSA. The TSA link is still good.

    DC Series (now dead)
    TrueSteamAchievements (still works)

    I know there's already an AoE Franchise, but any chance we could get a series for the main entries I-IV without the garbage filler?

    Hi - I know the series functionality appears to be on the backburner these days (which is a real shame) as I see many that aren't up-to-date or haven't been created but I was curious whether we've given up on trying to maintain the unique game variations within said series.

    It seems to be really inconsistent right now - I'm seeing lots of multiple platform and regional stacks just thrown in when they should be linked.

    For example, Ballotron Franchise lists 6 games when it should default to 2.

    I know that this is just a shovelware example but I also see this happening in many of the 'proper game' series as well. It's just so inconsistent to the point of rendering the feature almost useless.

    I'd really appreciate if you'd let me know either way. That way I'll know whether to continue reporting issues here or I can just forget this feature exists. Cheers.

    Franchises will only show all titles, not unique. True series have the option as seen here: Call of Duty Black Ops Series

    What is the logic behind that? Is this down to creating less sever demands by making just one leaderboard? Counting all titles over unique is peculiar.
    Focusing on older games, take a look at my To Do Lists. Always looking for new friends, feel free to add me.

    You'd have to ask Rich that, I would assume since leaderboards weren't going to be a thing for franchises at all they were going to show all titles. As leaderboards are now a pro only thing?? (maybe i don't know for sure) it would be to cut down server load. Unique requires umpteen boards to be made and filtered depending on each individual persons playing of said titles so it makes more sense to include all to fairly compare people.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. needs a series and/or franchise. 3 games in it currently with a 4th on the way.

    Calculating the individual unique scores for everyone on franchises was killing the server.

    The feature was not written with franchises in mind - it was supposed to be for series, that have far less games in them.
