Talk:Hunter: The Reckoning

PAL release
This title has a mysterious PAL region release that I can't quite pin down. I was about to make GHNP71 as a speculative ID before I realized that there's some deep seated discrepancies with the data about this game. GameTDB's covers for GHNX71 and GHNE71 both say Interplay on them, so Interplay released the game in both regions; and Wikipedia's list of games published by Virgin doesn't list this game. I can buy that, but not only does GameFAQs say that it had a PAL release published by Virgin Interactive, but GameSpot even wrote an article naming both companies as co-publishers.

If I had to guess, what's going on here is that Interplay published the game in the states, and Virgin published the game in PAL, somewhat simultaneously; then, sometime later, Interplay came back and republished it in EU themselves after Virgin went out of business. This would also explain why GHNX71 is an "X" region ID. The missing ID therefore would be GHNP__, where __ is the publisher code for Virgin Interactive, which I don't know (possibly VP, but that's Virgin Play's code; Virgin Play was the Spanish branch of Virgin Interactive and probably has its own publisher code as it seemed to run independently). - Xerxes (talk) 06:34, 7 December 2016 (CET)

The only PAL covers I can find for the game indicate Interplay as the publisher, so reverting to just using that for now unless we can find specific evidence of a Virgin release under GHNP??. Kolano (talk) 07:36, 7 December 2016 (CET)

Widescreen Patch
What issue of the widescreen hack does it address? What AR does is apply? Kolano (talk) 18:06, 4 March 2016 (CET)
