*UPDATED*

chances are, there have been topics like this in the past. But weren't they just amazing fun?! If you think you're a real gaming pro, then prove it. I'll post a pic of a game and you have to figure out wut it is. You get 1 point for posting the right name. Those of you who are real pros and post info of the game along with its name will get 3 points. First person to give the right answer will receive the points. The winner gets a lollipop.

i'll edit this post with the list of people who have received points.

UPDATED
The standings are as follows:
Jeepnut - 10 points
Crono - 1 points
Jonbo - 1 points

UPDATED: the contest is now over. Jeepnut is the winner. He will receive 250 dblns courtesy of TheGame. Congrats

I would host the games on your own personal server, beacuse people can just view the URL's and known the game.

It seems to be a PC game. Not exactly sure what game it is. I will just say Samurai Warriors (bad guess)

all wrong, i'll give you a few hints:
console: PS2
developer: Koei
RPG
online only

Dyne

10-08-2002, 03:05 PM

It's not FFXI, is it...? I have no idea what Koei means...

Dynasty Wariors 2

DarkMaster

10-08-2002, 03:39 PM

so far all answers are wrong. one more guess, then i'll have to reveal the game and add a new pic. dont wanna post cram after all

jeepnut

10-08-2002, 04:26 PM

You moron. Think before you type! You may have just ruined my chance at ever winning one of these contests! Look at the graphics, it looks nothing like Dynasty Warriors 3. And remember that he said ONLINE ONLY????

With this in mind, here is the correct answer:

Nobunaga's Ambition Online

EDIT: Dang, he changed to a new question already. You suck Dyne. :mad:

DarkMaster

10-08-2002, 04:36 PM

*UPDATE*

here is the new pic, there were no points awarded for the last pic. sorry Jeepnut, i can see that Dyne just deleted his post but i had already put the answer up. good luck on this one.

Dude, look at the times. I posted 1 minute after you edited your first post. I would have had it if people didn't make blind guesses. O well, guess we can't wait around forever for an answer. I'm just proud I was finally the first one to answer correctly on one of these darned things. :D

Microsoft Game Studios and Climax will soon present the next great leap forward in console role-playing games. Sudeki puts each player in complete control of an entire team of adventure-seeking heroes as they battle with both blades and spells, trying to protect their home from the loathsome forces of darkness.

GT official: "Upon reviewing the play, there is sufficient evidence to overturn to ruling on the field. Jeepnut is awarded the point and will not be charged a time-out." :D

EDIT: Hope I didn't seem too mean in my posts above. Most of that emotion is exagerated for "effect". My appologies to Dyne.

DarkMaster

you guys have been getting the names too easily so hopefully this pic will provide a better challenge....

Hey, that's fine. Next time I'll look for more clues. I'm sorry my answers may have been a bit off.

Well gee, this is a toughy. Looks to be cel-shaded but maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree...

Ummm.. Breath of Fire V?

I am guessing it might be a Xbox game...

My guess is gonna be Tron. What that dude is wearing makes it seem like that new Tron game.

DarkMaster

10-09-2002, 03:21 PM

all answers so far are wrong, so i'll give you some hints.
console: PS2
RPG
developer: Atlus
not cel-shaded
offline

please dont make pointless guesses, only serious answers please, and dont repeat any answers already said by someone else because the first person to answer correctly will receive the points anyway. good luck

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne

The game's main theme will be creation. The entire environment will be displayed in real-time 3D for the first time in the series (leaving aside the other Shin Megami Tensei game currently in development, NINE for Xbox) and both dungeons and events will differ from its predecessors'. The game's protagonist is a typical senior high school student, who is living in Tokyo. Prior to the game's beginning he has a dream in the underground and when he wakes up, he finds himself in a totally different place, a city called Tokyo Conception. The destroyed world in which this city is located is called Vortex World. No human being of flesh and blood can survive in its deadly environment. Hence the protagonist's body is revived with the help of demons, well known from the series' previous installments. Now he is ready to embark on his adventure into the ruined world.
During battles, players can have up to four characters in their party. The camera isn't fixed, but freely rotatable during battles.

EDIT: Can't believe it's not cel-shaded. Sure looks it.

Red Dead Revolver

In the savage, rough and tumble days of the American West, a hard working homestead family is attacked by outlaws, robbed of their possessions and their lives. One survivor, a boy named Red, is rescued, taken in by a wise Indian, given a home and taught the ways of survival. Years later, a mysterious gunfighter appears in town and the lawless begin to fear for their lives. The Old West will never be the same as Red fights with honor, seeking vengeance on the save desperados of the frontier.

Am I the only one playing anymore?

3 points again. i think everyone is afraid of your extensive knowledge and research jeepnut. the next pic should be a fun one, there will be no hints and each person only gets one guess. it'll be worth a nice 10 points. lets see whos up for the challenge :)

Mr.Nobody

10-09-2002, 09:27 PM

Hmm. That picture looks an awefull lot like a Halo or Halo 2 game. Especially with the design of that ship.

To tell you the truth, Red Dead Revolver was the only one I knew right away. The others I had never seen before. Just did a lot of searching on the publisher's websites and google. Sometimes the hardest part was just finding info on the game that was in english.;)

DarkMaster

10-10-2002, 04:10 PM

hmmm...seems like no one can figure this one out. well 10 points are on the line, so do your research. remember, only one guess. and to the winner of this whole contest, there shall be a special surprise. good luck

Out of general curiosity, what will these points add up to in the end? Doubloons maybe? jeepnut deserves something for his efforts.

Is that Haven"Call of the King or something like that?

DarkMaster

10-13-2002, 04:13 PM

well, that was 2 wrong guesses. i'll have to reveal the name now. It seems that my plan to pick a super hard game was a success. No one was even close to getting the right answer.

So the name of the game is.......

Project BG&E

for PS2, published by Ubi Soft and being created by the creator of Rayman

"What propels this game into the upper echelon of next-generation games is not only an engrossing storyline but the Promise of Discovery", said Ancel. "We've designed a brand new, exclusive game engine from ground up that has allowed us to integrate a whole universe in one game including mountains, cities, towns, planets and more. Our goal was to provide gamers an opportunity to experience absolute immersion through a unique story and free roaming environments - a world with no bounds."
