Guess the Game 3: Screenshot Boogaloo

The graphics were also top-notch. I remember being very impressed by the quality of the real-time cutscenes.
It must be admitted that from the very beginning to the end there were a lot of games on the Gamecube whose creators pushed Nintendo hardware to its limit (F-Zero GX, Twilight Princess, Rogue Squadron II and III, Metroid Prime 2, Star Fox Adventures etc.).

Oh man, I've seen those pumpkins before! It's Jersey Devil right? I never played the full game but I played the demo from a Playstation Underground disc haha

I've never played the arcade version, but I admit I hated the Saturn port.

Sorry, with "recent" I'm referring to the last 3 to 4 games you guys posted screenshots of in this thread.
I grew up with Nintendo's first consoles only and some time later PC games. So I didn't pay any attention to PS exclusive games at that time. Or any other console.

Is that a slot machine in the second picture?

Yeah, I actually don't know this game, but it seems like it would fit quite well on Nintendo's consoles with its other similar games.

In the first screenshot, it didn't look like pre-rendered graphics.

I started second guessing myself as I thought the second picture looked too crisp.
Then you mentioned the French publisher, and this was indeed Infogrames.
Always thought it was a JRPG.

Yeah, the inventory was a huge clue.

Third screenshot has been added. This should clear things up a bit (?).

Yeah, I don't know.
Might be one group has rights to the old games, and one has the IP rights to make new games.

Edit
Apparently Sir-tech owns some of it, and Drecom owns some of it.

omg, I literally just found it by reverse image searching one of the screenshots and I can't believe I, of all people, didnt know what game this was. But I'm sorry, I'm not going to end this one right here :D
SURELY someone else must have played this game...

Edit: i hid a hint somewhere in this text~

That skeleton sure strikes that iconic castlevania "pose."
Well, if only we were able to see more of its body...

Nice
I saw first the last image and I remembered all the trouble Death gave me, it's a good remake..

I KNEW that I played this game before! It's Full Metal Furies. Great choice, fun co-op multiplayer title for couch and online :D (Though, one part of the game was kind of frustrating)

View attached image.

The second screenshot was very recognizable - I knew it would be one of the 3D Ninja Gaiden games or Nioh. The guy with the halberd from the first image didn't suit me in Ninja Gaiden, so the choice was quite obvious. However, I am surprised that this is Nioh 2, because the view in the second picture looks quite blocky and there is pretty "flat" fog in the background.

Dammit, seriously considered it, yet ended up with guessing Dragon's Dogma :D

Same here. But the graphics kind of remind me of some MS-DOS games back then. (Maybe not, the colors are so vibrant)
The blocky heads in the second screenshot look like they're from a PS1 game, though.

About these characters... is that one of those tropes where one of them is like the evil genius and the other one is supposed to be the doofus?

I never finished this game but I liked it when I had a PS1, it's a shame they didn't do a sequel for some games like Ninja.
It's nice to remember this old gem with only the chest photo.

Giving my turn this time.

I don't know what you're smoking there, but you'd better stop puffing on that reefer. Just because these characters are popular, memetic, and classic, and had many cameos in several other games, doesn't make it any less "Lost Vikings". That particular art is from Rock & Roll Racing or Blackthorne, I can presume, though I haven't played those two games for decades, so I don't remember well anymore. Olaf was definitely a secret unlockable playable character in Rock & Roll Racing, that I'm 100% sure of. Though I don't remember his portrait/art/sprites from that. It's sure as hell not from HoTS, because that had drastically different char designs.

Grainy low res textures for walls but much higher quality textures for a painting.

Last guesses: either a Fallout game or a Duke Nukem game? I'm passing my turn in case I win.

My initial thought was Tom Clancy's EndWar, but it set too late.

I tried so hard to wrestle-throw huge animals after making them ragdoll around after a few spins :D

Technically you are wrong about the game, but since you named the sequel or prequel(idk tbh since I haven't played that yet), I'm still going to tell you congratulations :D
It was Lust from Darkness

The content and someone already kind of guessed the game. I pixelated both imagines so that it couldn't be reversed search using search engines :D
As for the road itself its from the part where you get to the mansion, immediately after you leave your home.

I was thinking this game was something to do with Hideo Kojima, but I was getting it confused with Snatcher.

II made a bit of a fool of myself, I admit it without any hesitation.
To justify myself, I will only write that I played Yoshi's Story the least of the entire series. In fact, I didn't even finish it.
When the game was released, of course, I bought it and was absolutely furious that the character controls were only assigned to the analog stick. On the one hand, I understood that Nintendo was strongly focusing on analog controls at that time and that in Yoshi's Story analog control allows for more precise aiming with the crosshair, but on the other hand, it would make my head explote why the creators didn't include the option to move Yoshi with the d-pad. Instead, d-pad only serves to stupidly scale the fruit chart on the screen. Madness!
Apart from the fact that due to certain disabilities, I have some problems with the mobility of my thumbs and the analogue in the N64 was not my greatest ally (although I generally played games in a 3D environment well).
Ultimately, I sold the game pretty quickly and never went back to it. Perhaps I'll do it now, when the analog sticks are shorter, better placed, less slippery and simply more convenient (after all, the Nintendo Switch Online with Expansion Pack, which I have already purchased, will be useful for something).

Nope

:D

heh i couldn't remember the game name :p
