Video Games Knowledge Quiz - Season 9 - Pirez

[lyndo64]

And honorable mention to the OVA, it features my favourite designs for both Sonic and Metal Sonic!

Dude same, I adore those designs for Sonic and MS.

[DaveRattlehead]

Nope... GTA 1, Red Dead Redemption and Bully are incorrect!

[EdgyRabbid]

I don’t know if this is a rockstar game but is it the punisher?

[dr_st]

Nope... GTA 1, Red Dead Redemption and Bully are incorrect!

Not any of these? Then perhaps Manhunt?

[DaveRattlehead]

Both Manhunt and Manhunt 2 could be considered valid answers. Rockstar has made games with a certain degree of violence, but the case of Manhunt was an extreme one. The protagonist is part of a snuff film, and the violence is much more savage and graphic than in any other game by the company. Manhunt 2 was even more heavily censored.

[EdgyRabbid]

Wait since when do I have a point??

[The Jonster]

Hmm…2?

[Giant Chicken]

[lyndo64]

4?

[Greengoop]

5?

(We’re gonna get there eventually )

[Pirez]

I'll go against the grain : 0

[Rsandee]

Well then there's no other way for me to go but up: 6.

[dr_st]

7!

[DaveRattlehead]

Surprisingly, Pirez is correct! It's a bit ironic that arguably the most relevant videogame series of all time hasn't won the game of the year award since its creation in 2003, and it's the videogame series that has lost it more times. Here you have a quick list. Do you believe one of these games really deserved the GOTY award?

-2007: Super Mario Galaxy (Bioshock)
-2013: Super Mario 3D World (GTA V)
-2015: Super Mario Maker (The Witcher 3)
-2017: Super Mario Odyssey (TLOZ: Breath of the Wild)
-2023: Super Mario Bros. Wonder (Baldur's Gate 3)

It's also a nice excuse to introduce you the second bonus question

[Master]

I'm not quite sure if there's something specific you're after, there's a lot of conventions and ideas that Mario 64 standardised, such as the notion of a camera, controlling player speed via analogue tilt, kicking off the 3D collectathon platformer genre, and showing that open level design could work, thus laying the groundwork that would eventually lead to open world design.

[DaveRattlehead]

Didn't pretend to be specific since Super Mario 64 standardized many mechanics, but you summed it up pretty well.
And now there's a new leader!

Was that Playstation Home on PS3? God that's a deep cut.

[Greengoop]

Why do all the easy questions come when I’m asleep? Dangit! Anyway, I’ll just guess Astro Bot as Master has already gotten it.
