You assume too much Lim. It's actually not Future Shock.
Oh God, then it's The Terminator: SkyNET. Who cares? ;-)

They use virtually the same engine and are almost the same game except the latter having nice multiplayer... You couldn't tell by looking at screenshots alone...

I even found your screenshot's source:

Pfff.... :P

Hmm... Zool, The Dig, Sam & Max... all easy ones. And now it's again some obscure animalnamed PhysX (^^) game. I've got a bad timing... :roll: :wink:

Post subject:  Re: Guessing games: The game edition

Well, I'm an Oddworld fan although sadly I didn't get to play Stranger's Wrath. I immediately recognized the character, however, since I used to read a lot about the game back in the day. =)

My game:

One hint in advance: the game wasn't very well received by critics but I liked it. Also, there is something very "special" about it - if you find or know the title you'll be able to tell what I'm talking about. =)

Post subject:  Re: Guessing games: The game edition

Hmm... the screen looks very HeroQuest'ish, but it's none of the HQ-games I know. And I don't wanna go through all isometric, fantasy games on mobygames.com, so I pass for someone else. :cry:

Samurai Fighter ?

Post subject:  Re: Guessing games: The game edition

Nope - do you see a samurai in the picture? 0_o

One tiny, tiny hint. This game has something to do TECHNOLOGICALLY with a title that has been mentioned in this thread. There are very few games of its kind. =)

It's too hard dude

Author:  Lim-Dul [ 15 Jul 2008, 16:25 ]
Post subject:  Re: Guessing games: The game edition

OK - it's somehow related to the better known game Outcast. Now you should be able to find it in no time. ^^

Did it use voxels rather than polygons?

Author:  Lim-Dul [ 15 Jul 2008, 16:48 ]
Post subject:  Re: Guessing games: The game edition

Precisely. ^^
One of the first (and probably last :-P) isometric games using such an engine, which allowed e.g. a smooth rotation of the viewpoint - quite untypical at that time - even though the graphics looked quite "pixelated" or should I say "voxelated". =)

It's really sad that all modern graphics accelerators focus on polygons because some really cool things can be achieved with Voxels - e.g. terrain deformation is a BREEZE with them as seen in the pretty cool RTS Perimeter. With all those multi-core processors around someone might start using one of the cores for voxels, though. =)

Post subject:  Re: Guessing games: The game edition

No Lim. The idea that one of my cores isn't doing exactly the same as the others would cause me to flip out and lose control. People would get hurt and I could possibly be imprisoned for my crimes. Now if you think it's worth letting that happen just for some terrain deformation then you're one sick puppy Sir, one sick pup.

Oh and I still don't know what your obscure dungeon battler game is.

Well, then you can start flipping out right now. ^^
In TF2 one of your cores does particle calculations...

In other cases your second (third, fourth) core does usually nothing unless you run two applications at once, so there you have it. :-D

Correct. Your turn.

I just check what's on my hdd. So here an easy one:

Oh God, I recognized this game but it took me some time to recall what it is... Night Watch... Dude, you keep it on your HDD? It's pretty crappy. =)

OK, since it's my turn I decided to post something that will be probably impossible to guess. ^^

One word in advance: these are only PARTS of a screenshot and they're both VERY deceiving and characteristic for the title in question. ^^
This topic got far too fast-paced for my liking so I'll let this one brew for a day or so (unless someone guesses the game)...

It's one of my favorite games EVER in this genre - it makes you roll on the floor laughing all the time. :-D

I installed it specifically to take some screenshots for ya... I'll post the full versions later on to show you why they're so deceiving and some more screenshots tomorrow or something. =)

Image Image

P.S. Yes, I censored the ranks because this title is actually very famous and since the pictures show text anybody could find the game with Google in like 5 seconds. That would mean I would have invested more time in installing the game, playing it for a while and posting the screenshots than you guessing it. =)
I still find it fair because many of you didn't post screenshots showing e.g. the game's interface (Night Watch being the most recent example :-P) and my rule of thumb is that if I would recognize the game from the screenshot (and hell, I would this one) then anybody knowing what is what should be able to as well. ^^
