Just downloaded this, really enjoying the design on iPad!

Feature request: would it be possible to add a button in the show view to pull up a random video from that show? It’d be useful for non-serial shows like UPF or Demo Derby.

There’s an undocumented API endpoint at https://www.giantbomb.com/upcoming_json (no auth) which shows the five closest upcoming things.

For the record I’d love a proper endpoint for it that doesn’t have the limit of five items.

BallisticNG, a "love letter" (read: basically a clone) to Wipeouts both new and old.

Aurora 4x and Aurora 4x both are dupes of Aurora which has an alias for the 4x affix.

This seems to be fixed.

I've been getting 500s on the reviews endpoint as well.

The *_url fields attached to videos don't seem to reflect the quality options actually available on the site. Many videos (most made after May 2018?) have 8000kbps versions available for download under the HD label but the hd_url field will only ever show the 4000kbps version. I would like to access 8000kbps versions if possible but it's impossible to tell in the API which videos have them.

Pommy (Game) is seemingly a character page erroneously created as a game. There's already a Pommy (Character) page, so the game page should be deleted.

edit (mracoon): done.

Recently (as of this week?) some stream archives are not appearing on the /videos API endpoint. They still appear under their respective shows but are just missing from /videos. Given archives now go up very quickly after streams end, I'm guessing there was some workflow change that precipitated this. Are we now meant to use shows instead of an unfiltered video feed (i.e. /videos being deprecated) or is this just a bug?

edit: I'm slightly wrong, archives do eventually appear in /videos but not concurrent with when they go up on the site.

The SOUND VOLTEX pages on Giant Bomb have inconsistent capitalisation. The main capitalisation used by Konami themselves is SOUND VOLTEX (Example: Konami's rhythm game listing has different capitalisations for different series, with SDVX always in upper case) so that's what I'd advocate for.

Here's the changes requested:

Sound Voltex (Franchise) -> SOUND VOLTEX

SOUND VOLTEX (Game) -> SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH [source]

Sound Voltex III: Gravity Wars -> SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS [source]

No change for SDVX II, that's fine as is.

Sound Voltex IV: Heavenly Haven -> SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN [source]

Sound Voltex III Gravity Wars e-Amusement Cloud -> SOUND VOLTEX III コナステ [source, e-Amusement Cloud got renamed to コナステ (short for Konami Amusement Game Station) in 2018]

SDVX III コナステ isn't a direct port of the arcade version, with unique songs and new monetisation structures like a subscription so it should keep its own page with コナステ appended to it, I think. The website itself just calls it solely SOUND VOLTEX III in its FAQ but that might be confusing? It's up to the wiki mods' discretion.

In addition, could Sound Voltex IV: Heavenly Haven get a cover image? Either the poster or raw logo I uploaded would work.
