Guess the Video Game from the Screenshot

[TD]

I know that HUD and honestly it's killing me, I should know this. Definitely giving me PS3 vibes.

Judging from the graphics:

Counter strike 0.7

 

[Fool's Requiem]

This isn't "The Darkness" is it?

 

[VashTheStampede]

This isn't "The Darkness" is it?

It is!

 

[Fool's Requiem]

It is!

haha, I was like "what FPS has dual welding pistols", and then I was like "Didn't The Darkness have that shit?"

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Ok, I feel like this one is going to hard.



This was a short lived online only multi-player game.

Also, I feel like screenshoting YouTube videos on my phone is going to always leave these more modern games looking worse than they actually do.

Judging from how old the graphics look, this is obviously one of the initial samples of HalfLife 3

 

[Smacktard]

It is in fact Enslaved.

Oh dang, I def never heard of this game. Is it any good?

 

[dimmerwit]

The game is LawBreakers.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Oh dang, I def never heard of this game. Is it any good?

It used to show up a lot on "most underrated" lists of the era. It was one of the first games I rented from GameFly and it was very enjoyable at the time. Not sure how it holds up today though.

If it was good then, it's good now.

 

[Quagmire]

It is solid, but it's been a bit since I've played it.

Play Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 and 2 first though

I feel like I'm just gonna skip KCD1 and start with 2.

 

[Quagmire]

That is fair, it's more approachable. It's still worth it, you get to meet and know these characters who are great better.

If you can't play it on pc then fair to skip it, I'd have been annoyed without mods for KCD1

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. This is the remaster, though.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Wasn't expecting someone to get LawBreakers right off the bat. I thought I would have to provide other hints involving Cliffy B and BossKeyGames' crummy rushed Fortnite knockoff.

LawBreakers' biggest issue was that it was not beginner friendly. Cliffy B kept trying to throw out "this is Overwatch for fans of Dark Souls". Like, why did we need a team-based hero shooter game that is extremely difficult to play at first?

There was a lot of great ideas, and when played well, matches could be really fun, but ignoring "easy to pick up and play, difficult to master" concept that most games should be aiming for killed it.

@dimmerwit did you happen to sample the game back then? I played in the open beta for a couple days and went back to OW.

Oh dang, I def never heard of this game. Is it any good?

Like what Vash said, its one of those "hidden gem" kind of games that went under the radar at the time. I've only played the first 30 minutes or so, but it definitely plays well. I think the lack of camera controls could eventually lead to annoying deaths, but based on the beginning, the platforming felt VERY forgiving.

It definitely plays like an early 2010s Namco game.

 

[dimmerwit]

I played on one of their free weekends. I enjoyed it enough but even by then I couldn't see how the playerbase would have survived.

Also what gave it away were the team names. Without them it would have looked vaguely familiar but I don't know if I would have got it.

 

[Smacktard]

Nexto:
I made it a lil tricky cause I'm feeling impish :3

 

[VashTheStampede]

Ok well clearly its Mighty No. 9

Hmmmm

 

[VashTheStampede]

My official guess is Mega Man II for the GameBoy even though I see characters from 1...

 

[shortkut]

Hmmmm

Obviously it is the original Rockman from 1987. That image shows Protoman back when he was called blues

 

[VashTheStampede]

He's got the blues

Kraft macaroni and cheese

 

[shortkut]

He's got the blues

Kraft macaroni and cheese

Or the Bill Cosby Jello commercials from when “Jello’s got the berry blues”

 

[VashTheStampede]

Our options are Bill Cosby or Robert Kraft???

 

[Smacktard]

 

[VashTheStampede]

ISTG if its something like "Mega Man II emulated on the Virtual Console as part of Mega Man Anniversary Collection JP" I will have no choice but to tip my hat and respect it

Nah, it's much more straightforward than that. Hopefully I still earn some of that coveted Vash respect though

[shortkut]

Was I wrong?

 

[Smacktard]

It is a Mega Man game.

Mega Man 3: the search for Spockman

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I don't have a clue which one it is and there are a bunch on the original Gameboy. So, I'll just go with one that doesn't just have a number in the title, Mega Man: Dr Wiley's Revenge.

 

[VashTheStampede]

It is a Mega Man game.

 

[Smacktard]

Ok one more hint, since you're all kind of way off: look at the resolution of this screenshot.

Mega Man and Knuckles?

 

[dimmerwit]

Assuming it's a handheld game the resolution means that it's probably a WonderSwan game. It's very close to exactly double the original system's resolution whilst the GBA is slightly too high.

 

[dimmerwit]

(and the GBA would be in colour too)

We only play games on the WonderGoose system here

 

[Fool's Requiem]

the only non-color Wonderswan Mega Man game I was able to find is Japan only. Surely Kelly isn't having think of a game that was only released in Japan on a system that was only released in Japan.

Resolution looks too wide to be a Wonderswan game, too.

"Rockman & Forte Mirai kara no Chōsensha" is the only black and white Mega Man/Rockman on the Wonderswan. The other two were released for the Color.

Would be hilarious if he did

 

[shortkut]

I googled black and white megaman game and now I know it. I was the closest in terms of title again, but someone else called the system…

All Wonderswan games are Japan-only (well, "never released in the west" is more accurate).

And of course I am. There are context clues! You can figure it out

Like so:

Rockman & Forte Mirai kara no Chōsensha" is the only black and white Mega Man/Rockman on the Wonderswan.

Ding ding ding!

The game is completely different from the SNES and GBA Mega Man & Bass game. Apart from Mega Man's stupid sprite design and walk cycle, it's actually a pretty good game. Better than most of the GB games, I'd even say.

This is exactly what I'd think he'd do.

 

[Smacktard]

That's it, I'm only posting obscure JP-only games from now on.

That works. I’m only posting bad guesses and games from the 80s/90s on Mac/DOS

I hope you understand that we're going to be required to do some manual searching, right? I had to look through the entire library of Mega Man games to find that one Wonderswan game.

Cheater. I guessed rockman using just my brain

I think we all could tell it was a Rockman/Mega Man game...
