e2zippo Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hey! Trying to add Resident Evil 2 Remake to my collection, but it keeps scraping it as the old version. I check the launchbox database and the remake is there. It keeps mathing ID:3972 It should match this one. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/102939 But when I try to search for it, I can only find the above. https://imgur.com/a/wjyhdy9 Any ideas?

OK, i just checked and i was getting the same. How i got around it was by putting in the Japanese name, so, Biohazard RE:2 When i did that it found it and automatically renamed it to Resident Evil 2.

I tried searching for Biohazard but that didn't work. You have to search for Biohazard RE for it to show up. Doesn't really make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really make sense Yeah, thats why we have a value for alternate names in the database, exactly for times like this when there are two games with the same name on the same platform, and the alternate name on the database page is, Biohazard :RE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
