The Big Fat Push Square Forums Quiz Of The Year has finally arrived!
Hope you have fun!
(Oh and all the answers (Well baring the Crash one) concern games that released this year btw.)
Question 1. An easy one to start us off with... Which Playstation 3 Classic got remade for the PS5's launch?
Question 2. Kingdom Hearts had a new release on consoles this year... With a rhythm game that retells the story so far.
True Or False?
Question 3. Crash 4: It's About Time released this year to a fair amount of praise... But it also claimed to be the fourth game in a series that has over 20 titles (That's including spinoffs).
What was the 4th mainline Crash game to be released?
A. Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex B. Crash of The Titans C. Crash Twinsanity D. Crash Bandicoot & The Thumpin' Wumpa Islands
Question 4. I like jesters and I like a good villain... And in one of this year's releases we got a villainous jester!
I. There's a point for the game (that he's from) II. And a point for his name!
Question 5. The Trails Of Cold Steel saga finally ended in the Legend Of Heroes franchise this year in the west with Cold Steel IV's release. In Japan however they'd already started up a new series in aforementioned franchise and knocked out 2 games since Cold Steel IV released over there two years ago.
True Or False?
Question 6. Ubisoft had 3 heavy hitting titles come out this year with Gods & Monsters (No I'm not using the terrible new name), Assassin's Creed Valhalla & Watch Dogs Legion.
They also threw their hat into the free to play Battle Royale genre. What was the name of said game?
Question 7. Voice actor Laura Bailey won an award at this years game awards (The first and only I'll ever watch) for best performance.
I. You'll get a point for the name of the game II. Another point is up for grabs for the name of the character she was nominated for. III. You can even get a third point if you can come up with the name of the fellow voice actor who was also nominated from the same game!
Question 8. Noki here is from which Monster Taming game that released this year?
A. Nexomon Extinction B. Monster Sanctuary C. Pokemon Sword/Shield's The Crown Tundra DLC D. Coromon
Question 9. 2020 was quite the year for remastered games as question 1 already shows. Even the Final Fantasy series got in on this with remastering a classic.
Could you tell me what that remastered title actually was however?
Question 10. Bloodstained: Curse of The Moon 2 has all the characters you love from Ritual of The Night like Zangetsu, Dominique, Miriam, Gebel... And some new characters specifically for Curse of The Moon 2... Like a Cat called Hachi whom operates a steam powered mech.
True Or False?
Question 11. In my previous quizzes I had a box art cover round and a disc art cover round.
I'm not going to do the spine art or alternate cover arts or anything silly like that... But can you perhaps guess these names of these 2020 games by their press releases/blurbs that I've edited?
I.
Hell’s armies have invaded Earth. Become the Slayer in an epic single-player campaign to conquer demons across dimensions and stop the final destruction of humanity.
II.
This is an open-world, action-adventure story set in a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour and body modification. You play as a mercenary outlaw going after a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality.
III.
Ichiban Kasuga, faces an 18-year prison sentence after taking the fall for a crime he didn't commit. Never losing faith, he loyally serves his time and returns to society to discover that no one was waiting for him on the outside, and his clan has been destroyed by the man he respected most.
IV.
This is a sci-fi mystery epic spanning thirteen intertwining stories. Uncover the truth and delve into a 2D sidescrolling adventure featuring gorgeous art and environments. Then, battle the kaiju in fast-paced, top-down combat.
Question 12. You know I like a good anagram in these quizzes... So for the final question can you figure this out?
British Fry Keg?
This is a spinoff to a fairly well known nintendo property and a sequel so I have had to take the number 2 out for this anagram... But you'll get yourself a whopping 3 points in return if you get it right!
1. Demon's Souls
2.True, but I don't know if all the details are correct but I at least know there was or will be a KH rhythm game so I'll say true
3.C) crash twinsanity (it's a toss up between this and crash of the titans but I think that came later, I want to say wrath of cortex but I think that's the second game)
4.i don't know but I'm going to guess i. Code vein because I think you've mentioned/posted screenshots of you playing that game and ii. Jokey McJokerson because I have no idea about code vein or what this character is from (looks like something from sonic lost world but not quite)
5. I'll go with True, I have no idea but it seems like the sort of madcappery that goes on with regards to western localisations of Japanese games
6.ive got no idea, erm Tom Clancy's Royal Rumble featuring The Rock as...The Rock?
7. I've got no idea as I didn't watch the awards and I haven't played this game but from the spoilerific comments sections I am going to guess i. The Last of us part 2 ii. Abbey or Abi, however it is spelt and iii. No idea, the other girl in it
8. I'll guess C) Pokémon sword and shield - it looks like a Pokémon but noki doesn't sound like a very Pokémon name but they did go a bit mad with the names after ruby and sapphire
9. I think you mean Final Fantasy 7 which was remade as Final Fantasy 7 remake in a similar
vein as the demons souls remakes, unless you mean one of the remastered collections on all consoles, I'll stick with FF7 though
10. Don't know, I'll guess True even if it is statistically unlikely to be true if the other two True/false questions were true
11.i. doom Eternal
ii. Don't know, I'll guess cyberpunk 2077
iii. I don't know, I'll guess ghost of Tsushima
iv. Umm no idea, Pacific Rim Vs. Godzilla Vs. Mecha King Kong Elvis Demake?
12.ahhh the only spin offs that are also technically sequels I can think of are cadence of Hyrule and Hyrule warriors which this obviously isn't, maybe it's Kirby something, I've just realised this doesn't specify 2020 so now if I can just think of that Kirby game...uhh I give up, Kirby the Frigs
Ha ha I had it mostly done already and figured I'd post it a little early @ralphdibny
Really should've remembered Final Fantasy VII remake came out this year as I actually meant for it to be about something completely different! Oh well... That's what I get for posting it whilst being pretty buzzed lol 😅
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy ahh don't worry, there's so many FF games/spin offs/Japanese to the west rebrands (SaGa and Mana) that have been remastered/remade/re released in the last few years that it's hard to remember what games came out in what year! Not to mention that we all have different definitions of what constitutes a remake or a remaster or a port or a reboot etc.
I think I've just realised which game you meant for the final fantasy game now! I think it was Crystal Chronicles as that was pretty highish profile too. I'll keep my original answer though in the interest of remaining fair!
1. Demon's Souls I think. Hope I got the correct soulsborne game.
2. True. I'm pretty sure there was a recent KH rhythm game, so hopefully the rest is true.
3. A. Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex
4i. From the embroidery on his face, I'll guess the new Sackboy game. Can't remember the title, it's something like Sackboy's Great Adventure.
4ii. Lester the Jester
5. False
6. It's that futuristic sci-fi style Battle Royale game, but I didn't care enough to pay attention to the title. So let's guess Future Gladiators: Uploaded
7i. The Last of Us Part 2. That game won the most awards, so it's probably this.
7ii. Abby was a character I've heard people mention, so maybe her.
7iii. Troy Baker gets plenty of voice acting awards, so I'll guess him.
8. A. Nexomon Extinction. This little guy stood out to me when I was reading an article on the nexomon starters since I always love the nice bird designs.
9. Final Fantasy VII: Remake was the exact title I think.
10. True. I'll be disappointed if this isn't true.
11i. Doom Eternal
11ii. Cyberpunk 2077
11iii. Yakuza: Like A Dragon
11iv. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
12. Kirby Fighters 2. Took me a while to figure out it was a Kirby game, then the rest was easy.
1. Demon’s Souls
2. True, it’s not terrible. It’s not fantastic and squanders its potential a bit but it definitely could have been worse.
3. Crash Twinsanity? I seem to remember that being a PS2 game.
4. Maybe A Hat In Time? No clue about the name.
5. Not that I’m aware of? They did release Hajimari no Kiseki which is a one-off but I don’t think the first entry of the Calvard saga has been released yet. I’ll say false.
6. It was something generic like Hyper Scape. Not a memorable game.
7. The Last of Us Part 2, Abby, Ashley Johnson.
8. Nexomon? Only because I know you played it 😂
9. Final Fantasy VIII Remastered
10. True! Bizarre!
11. I. Doom Eternal
II. Cyberpunk 2077
III. Yakuza: Like a Dragon
IV. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim?
12. I got it!! Kirby Fighters (2)
1. Demon’s Souls ...despite the improper use of the apostrophe. The more grammatically correct “Demons’ Souls” must not have looked quite as cool on the box art. ...Unless the game is actually about one demon who has many souls.
2. I never heard about the rhythm game, so I’d say ... False?
3. C) Crash Twinsanity?
4. Not sure ... is that from Sackboy: A Big Adventure? His name would be Leatherman.
5. False
6. Uh.... Legend Warriors Battle Ex
7. The Last of Us Part II, Abby, ...Troy Baker?
8. C) The Pokémon game
9. Final Fantasy 8 was remastered this year. (Final Fantasy 7 was remade)
10. True?
11. I) DOOM Eternal, II) Cyberpunk 2077, III) Yakuza Like a Dragon, IV) 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
12. Brig Rye Fighters? Sounds like a Nintendo series.
Could have done worse, I guess. Pretty sure I got #1 correct.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
1. Demon's Souls
2. True
3. Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
4. He's called Mavis and is from Sainsbury's Covid Queue Adventures
5. False, I think there's only been one game in the new arc
6. Death in Paradise
7. The Last of Us: Part II as Abby. The other nominated actor was surely the one that plays Ellie, but I can't remember her name!
8. Nexomon Extinction.
9. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
10. True!
11. I - Doom Eternal; ii - Cyberpunk 2077; iii - Yakuza Like a Dragon; iv - 13 Sentinels
12. Kirby Fighters 2
Thought I'd give you all a tag to let you know there's a new quiz on the previous page if you're interested in taking part @Blooper987@Gremio108 & @WanderingBullet
1. Demon Souls
2. True
3. C
4. Looks like an enemy out of Crash 4 so I’m going with that.
5. True
6. Watch Dogs Legion???
7. The Last Of Us Part 2
8. A
9. Final Fantasy VII
10. False, pretty sure it was a corgi not a cat.
11. I. DOOM Eternal
II. Cyberpunk 2077
III. Pretty sure it’s the newest Yakuza game but I’m not certain
IIII. Another game with cyber in the name and it plays like enter the Gungeon, but I can’t remember
12. Kirby Fighters 2
1. Demon's Souls
2. Surely that's false. Although I wouldn't put it past them
3. I'll go Twinsanity
4. Jesters are an underused and underappreciated sort, in gaming and in life in general. This guy is the baddie from Sackboy's Big Adventure, but I haven't played it yet, so I don't know his name. I imagine it's Angela Lansbury
5. True? Sounds plausible
6. Assassin's Creed: Let's Riot
7. Hmm. It's probably The Last of Us Part II. Another game I've not got around to yet. I've heard the name Abby mentioned a lot in the increasingly tiresome comments sections. And the other voice actor? Er, Nolan North?
8. Nexomon Extinction, because I like the name.
9. Final Fantasy VII: Look At Cloud's Hair!!!!
10. True. Please be true.
11.
I. 2020: The Videogame
II. Cyberpunk 2077
III. Yakuza: Like A Dragon
IV. Crash Team Racing Remastered
12. Shirty Biker GF released in March 2020. The GF stands for 'great fun'
Thanks for the tag, great quiz. Now to sit back and await my inevitable victory.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@Th3solutionIn the Demon's Souls apostrophe debate, I'm with you, but as my mate pointed out when we played it, defeating one boss did give us about 20,000 souls, so maybe your many-souled demon theory is correct?
1. Demon’s Souls Remastered
2. True? Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory
3. B. Crash of The Titans?
4. i) Sackboy: A Big Adventure ii) Vex
5. No idea. I’m gonna go with “False”?
6. Hyper Scape?
7. i) The Last of Us Part II ii) Abby iii) Ashley Johnson
8. B. Monster Sanctuary?
9. Final Fantasy VIII Remastered
10. True?
11. I. Doom Eternal
II. Cyberpunk 2077
III. Yakuza: Like a Dragon
IV. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
12. Kirby Fighters 2
Question 1. Demon's Souls was the name of the remade PS3 classic for PS5.
Question 2. It was True. Kingdom Hearts DID in fact have a rhythm game come out this year called Melody Of Memory which retells the story so far.
Question 3. It was A. The Wrath Of Cortex.
It's quite similarly titled to the second Crash game Cortex Strikes Back. Crash Twinsanity was the 5th main series title, we don't really talk about Crash of the Titans and The "Thumpin' Wumpa Islands" (Or something along the lines of that) was the name of the Crash level that was put into the last Skylanders game before crash officially came back with the N.Sane Trilogy.
Question 4. This was actually a shot from Sackboy: A Big Adventure and the villian in question was Vex. If you were observant and read my forum signature to see "Fargus The Jester" there... you fell into trap (An unintended one as it's been there for about half the year) as Pandemonium! is a 24 year old PS1 platformer.
Question 5. This is False. There's only one game they've put out in Japan in The Legend Of Heroes franchise since Cold Steel IV's release over there 2 years ago.
Question 6. I'm surprised anyone remembered Hyperscape... Because I don't think Ubisoft does 😅
Question 7. Laura Bailey was of course nominated for her role in The Last Of Part 2 as Abby. The third part of this question seemed to trip most of you up however... It was Ashley Johnson (The voice of Elly) whom was also nominated for best performance not Troy Baker as Joel.
Question 8.
2020 was a pretty strong year for monster taming games though with a number of different titles!
Question 9. This question was supposed to be about Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered. FFVIII Remastered did release last year digitally... But did get a physical PS4 release this year? I completely forgot about Final Fantasy VII Remake that released this year too even if that isn't a remaster as it does completely change things...
... Basically what I'm saying is everyone gets a point as this question got way more complicated then I was expecting and it won't change the end result!
Question 10. False. Because he's a Pembroke Welsh Corgi not a cat
Question 11.
I. With the talk of the Slayer and demons... The first was quite clearly DOOM: Eternal
II. With body modifications, implants and outlaw mercenaries... Cyberpunk2077 was the title being talked about here.
III. Yakuza: Like A Dragon was sneakily being talked about in this part.
IV. And finally the newest Vanillaware title 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim was the last game to be talked about in this question.
Question 12. Sadly British Fry Keg is not the upcoming epic Shirty Biker GF by Gremio Games... It is in fact Kirby Fighters 2
