Adding new games to a series?

    I Hate Running Backwards Achievements should be added to the Serious Sam Series.

    From the store page:

    Sam and friends get stuck in mixed space-time continuum and have to battle the giant Ugh-Zan, this time reincarnated as a giant mech, and his armada of deadly monsters. The battle will take them across different time periods and environments - from Aztec jungles to the deserts of Egypt with a deadly boss awaiting at the end of each environment.
    The whole plot revolves around Sam fighting enemies from the mainline games.

    The wiki page has more info on the plot:

    I Hate Running Backwards is set in the same universe as the other Serious Sam games, though at an undisclosed moment in time. Ugh-Zan, one of Mental's subordinates, has been put together from the parts of Ugh-Zan and Hugo and sent to the future to stop the group of heroes from fighting Mental. Ugh-Zan's mind was uploaded to the new mechanized body and he can also transfer it to the tank module that is stored inside his body as a last defense mode. Thus, Sam and the other heroes travel through time to ensure the defeat of Mental's minions once and for all.

    New series to be created:
    -- "Restless Connected Universe"
    Little Kite Achievements
    Repentant Achievements
    (As per the Marketplace description of Repentant: "Repentant is partially a sequel to the game Little Kite...")

    Add to existing series:
    -- Add Sugar Tanks Achievements to ExpiXR Tanks Series
    -- Add Puss In Boots Achievements to Shrek Series
    -- Add Remnant II Achievements to Ashes Series
    -- Add Tribble Troubles to Star Trek Series

    Removal from existing series:
    -- Remove Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series Achievements from Marvel Cinematic Universe Series
    (Has absolutely nothing to do with the MCU - it's Telltale's own interpretation of the characters)

    Typo edits to names of existing series:
    -- Change "Scene It" to "Scene It?"
    -- Change "Q.U.B.E" to "Q.U.B.E."
    -- Change "Mr Pumpkin" to "Mr. Pumpkin"
    All of this is taken care of, thanks for the help.

    Not sure sure this is the place to ask, but will EA Sports FC be a part of the FIFA series or will it begin a new series for the soccer/football game from EA?

    I was thinking about this the other day, and forgot to post. IMO, it shouldn't be part of the FIFA series. FIFA is a licensed product and they haven't ruled out using the license with another developer.

    We should have three series.
    1. The existing FIFA series with no further additions from EA. This allows further games to be added if FIFA partner with someone else.
    2. Create an EA Football series which adds all the previous titles from Series 1 plus EA Sports FC. This keeps all the developers games together.
    3. In 2024, once the second EA Sports FC game has been released, create a new series called EA Sports FC and add only these to it. This creates a new series for the new games.

    Just to add more info to above, FIFA 25 is planned, just being skipped for this year.

    Fifa president Gianni Infantino said last month it is planning to compete with EA Sports FC in the future, and will keep its video game brand alive.

    He said: "The new Fifa game, Fifa 25, 26, 27 and so on, will always be the best e-game for any girl or boy."

    There should be a Sonic Adventure series that contains both Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. I don't see any reason why those two games don't deserve to be grouped together in a series.

    Sorry LuckyKant, didn't mean to leave you out :(

    We are currently still discussing what we want to do with this and don't have a decision made yet.

    If anything, it's likely FIFA will turn into EA SPORTS FIFA and FC and new FIFA will be their own things. It's still being discussed, however.

    Thanks Shadow and Fruit. 3 series seems the logical way to do things.

    We are not currently doing any “universe” type series for the time being. Will keep it in mind though.

    Gonna disagree here.

    Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond Achievements is in the Matt Hazard Series. The synopsis reads almost verbatim with I Hate Running Backwards.

    Matt Hazard:Blood,Bath,and Beyond

    General Neutronov, one of Matt's nemeses has reactivated all of Hazard's greatest enemies from the past. Matt has no time for a stroll down memory lane as he chases Neutronov through the games of the past in order to save his future.

    Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond is a flood of carnage that the classic 8-bit side-scroller era didn't want gamers to see. Recreated today with next-gen 3D graphics, it's nonstop run-and-gun action at its finest. Take a suspenseful ride in single player or co-op through a pirate hideout, an ancient Japanese castle, the Old West, Siberian ice mines, and even the moon and relive some of the most classic and violent moments in Matt Hazard’s videogame history.

    I’m not disagreeing that it should be a series I’m just saying we currently are not setting up *new* Universe series.

    Then why not just add it to the Serious Sam series? I'm confused. 😅
