Title: Pegi Symbols
Post by: Madir on January 03, 2009, 04:20:44 PM
Maybe there is a way to include the other PEGI ratings like violence,sex,drugs,... to the ratings list?
And I think small icons for the ratings like they are on the box would make the site a bit more friedly to view and help to find the correct rating much faster.

I think both would be nice features.

best regards, Madir.

Do you want them on the Game pages, the submission pages, or both? The Submission Pages might be a bit difficult to do.

both would be great.but for the beginning symbols on the game pages would make all the sites without pictures look much more "friendly" like the little country flags do.

I don't want to commit to something I don't code, but provided we had the ESRB, CERO, and PEGI rating images it should be something doable to add to game pages. As for descriptors, that is something we probably would not be able to add.

Adding the PEGI ones would make sense because these type of symbols have been added for ESRB as well.

The database is still missing the PEGI descriptors,  I have them here, including the description form the PEGI website:

Bad LanguageGame contains bad language
DiscriminationGame contains depictions of, or material which may encourage, discrimination
DrugsGame refers to or depicts the use of drugs
FearGame may be frightening or scary for young children
GamblingGames that encourage or teach gambling
SexGame depicts nudity and/or sexual behaviour or sexual references
ViolenceGame contains depictions of violence
Online gameplayGame can be played online
please add them for all the pegi ratings

^ This is a great addition to the database; I'm very happy we have these now. It'll be quite the work to go through all the entries and add the missing symbols though. :P
