Video Games Knowledge Quiz - Season 9 - Pirez

I didn't know that about the font, however Reese's answer was good enough so he gets the point by virtue of getting there first. However he cannot answer this next one.

QUESTION 31 - Epic Games, known all round for their famous video game: Fortnite, namely its Battle Royale mode which took...inspiration from PUBG.

Not the first time this has happened though, back in the days of DOS... what game series were they responsible for, and what popular game series did they take inspiration from?

Bonus Question: Name all the creature archetypes in the Space Stage of Spore
 
Jill of the Jungle or Jackrabbit. I don't know what inspo they took from tho but I do know this due to having to write about Epic Games in french class.
 
For now, though as it stands right now it's a two-legged race between you and Reese...unless someone else can catch up...
 
Jazz the Jackrabbit was clearly inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog. He is just as fast and erratic, and I think the developers mentioned it as an inspiration specifically. Even the title follows the same pattern ("Name the Animal").

It wasn't clear from your question whether you were looking for just one series or multiple series, but I think this is the most obvious and well-known one.
 
Nah I knew there were potentially a few but that one was the definite one I had in mind. Point to dr_st!

You were watching this one like a hawk, weren't you? :mrgreen:

That was gonna be my answer as well, but you beat me to the punch. I've personally played a lot of the second and third game of the series the most, so I knew he was in fact the organizer of both of those. I can still hear his voice lines in my head from the third game this very day. :lol:
 
Pirez is correct, in Twisted Metal 4, the tournament is hosted by Sweet Tooth...who stole Calypso's power by nicking his ring. Pirez's getting very close to victory now...

QUESTION 35 - Name 3 games (only one per series) that will punish you if it detects you've manipulated your system clock, and how they punish you.

Bonus Question 1: Name all the creature archetypes in the Space Stage of Spore

Bonus Question 2: Name 10 Dragon Shouts from Skyrim, the shout and what it does
 
Pokémon Picross blocks you from playing the daily training for three days if it detects clock manipulation. The game is free to start and if you don't pay the daily training quickly becomes your lone source of currency.

Metal Gear Solid 3 will make your rations unusable as they've rotten with time

Games like Animal Crossing or Tomodachi Life which are based on the real passage of time will remove features like items in shops or special crops if it detects tampering with the system.
 
Looks like victory is within touching point for Pirez!

Bonus Question 1: Name all the creature archetypes in the Space Stage of Spore

Bonus Question 2: Name 10 Dragon Shouts from Skyrim, the shout and what it does
 
I seem to want to believe they were called 'cims'? Which to me sounds like "Sims", given how much I love that series.
 
Reese is correct! Cities Skylines does wear some of it's influences on its sleeve...
