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 Anything else stays labelled as legacy context, community reporting, or unpublished.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Missing values, compatibility details, modes, and requirements are marked unpublished until evidence exists.
Visible references
Time-sensitive pages link to the original official material and show when the facts were checked.
