Evidence standard
Old-game facts are never relabelled as Remastered facts
A Remastered-only claim requires an official announcement, official support material, a first-party platform page, or evidence from the released build. Anything else stays labelled as legacy context, community reporting, or unpublished.
Version labels
2015 base game, 2022 Next-Gen Update, and 2026 Remastered are treated as separate evidence scopes.
No invented gaps
Missing values, compatibility details, recommended specs, and mode tables are marked unpublished until evidence exists.
Visible references
Time-sensitive pages link to the original official material and show when the facts were checked.
