The Discussion Thread - Day 27! - 16th Greatest Game Event

[drbunnig]

Some more clues. Not getting many guesses this year. I haven't sent my final list yet, so these are fair game for anyone and everyone

Current list - https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=249858&page=1#6

46 (incorrect guesses - Pyschonauts)
- The playable character has the ability to enter people's dreams
- This was sort of like the PS1’s answer to classic Zelda.
- The NTSC version was simply titled after the protagonist. The European version added The Adventures of... to the title.

45
- You end up trying to solve everyone's problems whilst trying to solve your own.
- Both this title and its sequel took advantage of the features of the hardware it was released on - you even have to hold the console like a book to enhance the visual novel aspect of the game.
- This is named after the place your character, a former detective turned salesman, stays for the duration of the game.

42
- Pink or blue - you will see one of these colours when you complete a level.
- The two playable characters from the first game in the series must be saved.
- The final part in a popular trilogy of platformers released on 4th gen system

40 (incorrect guesses - Banjo-Tooie)
- Obtaining the collectibles in this direct sequel is not quite as frustrating as the first game in the series.
- The playable character was something of a mascot at the time for the hardware manufacturer, with it being their first console.
- This game introduced the sister of the main character, who then became playable in the following game.

39 (incorrect guesses - Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge)
- In some regions, this game had the same title as two other games in this well known series. In other regions, it had a subtitle.
- This game was re-released for modern consoles in a collection with two others from the same series. All three were first released on the same piece of hardware.
- This was initially a whip cracking launch title for a popular handheld.

38
- This sequel introduces some new enemies, but only one new weapon (and even then, it’s sort of an upgrade to an existing weapon).
- One of those new enemies can revive other fallen foes.

37 - Resident Evil Remake
- This remake added a disturbing subplot to the game.
- This was the first of a number of remakes in this popular series.

36 - Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
- Crowdfunded spiritual successor to a major, long running franchise.

35 - Dino Crisis
- Some fans of this game hope it gets a remake, much like some titles from the similar, more popular franchise from the same developer.
