Guess the Video Game from the Screenshot

[Fool's Requiem]

Hint: That's a woman.

 

[dimmerwit]

Tomb Raider and the Commute of Chaos?

 

[Fool's Requiem]

 

[VashTheStampede]

Wet

 

[Fool's Requiem]

there you go

your turn Vash.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I had no idea that was a Bethesda game. Need to check it out at some point.

Okay lemme think of a game...

It was approximately the 125th best-reviewed game that came out for the Xbox 360....in the year 2009.

It's anot

So clearly its a hidden gem

 

[VashTheStampede]

The graphics in this one are so life-like

 

[dimmerwit]

Immortality.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Hell yes

I just wanted an excuse to tell you people to play Immortality

 

[shortkut]

Looks like she’s stuck at work for the entirety of her immortality. No thanks

 

[dimmerwit]

 

[dimmerwit]

Hell yes

Yeah, it's great. It's available on mobile if you have Netflix too.

Figuring out the real secret is one of the best lightbulb moments in gaming.

that looks like a Frostbite engine game.

Star Wars Battlefront 2?

Edit: Second thought, its probably not a Star Wars game...

So, Wet is an acceptable game but like many games from the era, its unnecessarily overly serious despite the insanity. It's a grind house type game except it doesn't understand that grindhouse type things are supposed to be over-the-top and goofy.

Here's a good rundown of the game:



Wet was also one of the games that exploded in price in the secondary market when the Xbox 360 marketplace shutdown before almost immediately crashing back down to reality when sellers realized that there was no demand for a mediocre third person shooter from the Xbox 360/PS3 era that takes itself too seriously.

 

[dimmerwit]

It's not a Frostbite game.

 

[Smacktard]

Oh dang I know this one even though I never played it.

Deathloop.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

It's not a Frostbite game.

yeah, I sort of figured that after I looked up games made with that engine. Only Battlefield, Battlefront, NFS, EA Sports games, Anthem, and Dragon Age Inquisition used the engine.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Oh dang I know this one even though I never played it.

Deathloop.

goddammit, I was starting to lean towards that but my brain thinking "this looks like a Frostbite engine game" put me off that trail.

 

[dimmerwit]

Oh dang I know this one even though I never played it.

Deathloop.

Yup.

If nobody had got it I would have said that it's a game that the critics liked more than players. It's pretty good and worth playing on sale or Game Pass, but I think Dishonored 2 is much better.

I notice a satellite dish

The Noid 37: Direct TV’s terror

 

[Smacktard]

Next up!

Deathloop is dirt cheap CIB on PS5 in stores. I would have gotten it by now if I had a PS5. I've heard nothing but good things about the game.

 

[shortkut]

Next up!

Looks like Marvel Snap’s pixel Balde variant so I’m going with Blade

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I assume its not BlazBlue Entropy Effect. The UI is completely different even if the theme and background looks similar.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I think I know it but maybe I should quit hogging the game and let other people get a turn.

I just want to make wrong highly educated guesses

Was it not Cyberpunk 2057?

We're all too stupid except for you and Kelly

 

[dimmerwit]

Also, sorry in advance, but I've never played an actual NES or SNES. My retro gaming knowledge is terrible.

That said, given the image is 16:9 and doesn't appear to be cropped I'm guessing this is a more modern title with a retro aesthetic.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I can't speak for Kelly but for me it's probably that you have an actual life and I...well not as much probably

 

[shortkut]

If it isn’t blade, it is probably a scene from Math Blaster 2420: Sharp division.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Oh you know that dude blasts some math

 

[Zell 17]

I can't speak for Kelly but for me it's probably that you have an actual life and I...well not as much probably

Probably more likely my crippling paralysis by analysis over what new game to play that causes me to just end up replaying an older game for the 20th time instead.

 

[shortkut]

It took me way too long to play through the game while at work to get this screenshot:

It definitely is. Everything is too well detailed to be from the 16bit era.

Must be from the 17 bit era

 

[VashTheStampede]

I count at least 21 bits

I knew I should have bought the iPhone 21!

Hint: this is one my favorite games ever. I've talked about this game here multiple times and told people to play it.

I am disappoint.

Sorry for not paying attention when you post…

I knew what this was without even looking at the image based on this hint. Then I looked at the image.

Spoiler

Huntdown.

I was counting on you to get it haha.

The rest of you: for shame. Play this game ASAP.

Your turn to post a screenshot, TD

 

[VashTheStampede]

[dimmerwit]

OK it's 80% off on Switch so yeah, maybe I will.
