After a month, I think I've gotten close to what I hoped to achieve.
http://www.techingames.net/Games/Details/18
Here's how it works:
Features
Under features, you'll find a feature tree with all features that can currently be tracked. Anyone who has sufficient rights on the site can add features with a few simple clicks. Click the category to add a feature to, click new, enter the details, select how the end user should be able to enter a value, e.g. number, text, combo or flag (checkbox), and press create, done. From the overview, you can click to get a feature's details, which shows all games that have a value for this feature, and if the value is chartable (currently has to be a number) gives you the option to see a nice platform chart that shows values for games for that platform set against release date.
Games
The game overview will show the features of the game for each platform side-by-side (space permitting). The overview is built dynamically based on the information that is recorded for each of the games versions on that platform. So if any of the version has a value for a specific feature, it will then show up here automatically for all versions, keeping a nice layout for quick comparison.
Game Versions
This is where the meat starts. You can add many versions of a game. Versions are both different releases on different platforms, and patches/updates that were released for download (information on PS4 for instance shows up under the game / options button / update history). You can indicate if a version has a disc release as well. Once you've added one or more versions, you can click on that version to start adding features. Here you are presented with the feature tree for that version, and you can just add any value for any feature you have information on. As mentioned under Games, once you've added a value for one version, it will show up automatically in the overview. Importantly however, if the feature has a changing value in a later version, like the resolution in Black Flag, both values will show up with the version indicated.
Sources
Here you can add links to the source for your information, if applicable. For graphics data for instance, this could be links to 60fps videos at gamersyde, articles by Digital Foundry, and videos by Digital Foundry posted on youtube. Most embedded links will show up here as embedded videos as well, so that is the recommended way to link videos (for youtube, right now you take the embedded link, and then add https: in front of //embed ... )
More stuff to come in the future, but the basics are there! Hope you enjoy it.
