0 out of 15. Impressive in its own right!
11/15 nice result imo.
keep up these awesome quizes push square staff!
An acceptable 10
8/15. The PS2 and PS3 days are a blind spot for me!
10/15. Not too bad!
4, one of which was a random answer guessed right
10/15. 15/15 you're either Mark Cerny, you used the internet or you're so lucky you need to chose lottery numbers right now!
Seven. Gonna sit in the corner for a while.
6/15… eh, I’ll take it lol
12/15
Good quiz overall, three very poor questions though.
The idea is to make these quizzes a regular thing (bi-weekly to start with), but if anyone's got any feedback, let us know.
7/15, not bad for a fairly new PlayStation player!
8 out of 15, expected to get more but some of these series I am in the dark with
8/15. As a PS boy since PS1 I expected better of myself. Some of those dates get foggy yaknow
@ShogunRok I'd be down for that.
8/15 hahahaha
idk how
Not bad, 10/15. Got annoyed with the R&C question. They shouldve specified spinoffs like Agent Clank applied...im a sore loser lols.
I got 9/15. I've forgot more PS2 and 3 games than I can remember (and being old at 51)
I got 6. I dabble with my ps4 from time to time but been mainly Xbox since 360 onwards. Got a psp, ps2/1 and ps3/1 too. I get most of my playstation info from here these days.
10/15. I did better than I expected to be honest!
14/15
Never got around to playing the Resident Evil franchise so had no idea
7/15 hard to keep track of 25+ years of PS trivia.
@ShogunRok is it possible to time them so you know how long people took to answer? See if people are taking ages because they're web searching? Then do a league table that can run for the year with a winner at the end?
@Integrity That's a suggestion for @antdickens!
12/15. But I have to admit that I had guessing luck with a few.
10/15, a large amount of which were just lucky guesses. As I only recently got a Playstation, that is good enough for me.
@get2sammyb let's do it. A league table with scores and time spent answering, max 5 seconds per question, end of year play off, grand final, winner gets prize, own feature article, trophy, big kiss
1 out of 15😬
How about a brave fencer musashi, 3d, botw style, okami art style.
7/15. Not great considering I’ve been here since (U.K.) day one. Old memory isn’t what it was.
lol...cool quiz, some of these questions though, RANDOM!
I would also love to know how many people got the Tenchu one without guessing. Absolutely horrible question, but that's part of the fun.
9 from 15, couple of seriously lucky guesses!!
Without the aid of Michale Googlé there's no way in hell that people would have got the year released questions right .
ALso, 10 which is good when durnk,.👍
7 out of 15. I'll be revising for the next one
Only 1 wrong on tomb raider.haha.got everything right beside that.word up son
8/15
I'm just happy I got the Tenchu one right after all these years.
@get2sammyb @Integrity yeah we did think about recording the time per question when putting this together, might make for a fun upgrade 😇
@ShogunRok yeah that one was a weird difficulty spike.
@kyleforrester87 Keeping you on your toes.
No way has there's been 17 ratchet and clank games.
Loved this. 11/15, which i am pretty pleased with. Annoyed with myself for getting the Crash one wrong though. I should hand back my Playstation licence for that 😄
I only answered 4 from 15 questions and all of four are correct (Crash Bandicoot first release, PS2 day one release games, Ratchet & Clank games, Exclusive character for Soul Calibur 2 PS2).
I will not and will never want to answer any question from rated M games cause I hate them all. (I stopped answering once I saw the fifth question)
4 / 15
Because I played DDR, Para Para Paradise, K-1, The Sims Bustin' Out, Bomberman, Barbie, etc.
@antdickens can you do it so that the question can only be answered within a time limit otherwise it gets greyed out and the next question is presented? And don't tell people if they got the answers right or wrong as it encourages sock accounts to run the quiz first, just record the answers we gave or warn people to make a note of which of option they chose (a,b,c or d) and give us the final total at the end and something we can screenshot and post. At the end of the week when the quiz is closed, update the page with the correct answers for us to refer back to. Winner gets a backrub.
8/15, nice! Kinda feel proud of myself 😆😆
7. could have sworn hellghast had red eyes. also, who got that ratchet and clank question correct? come on now!
7 out of 15 i had the PlayStation when i was 18 or 19 my friend had loaded , twisted metal and resident evil. i loved those games i always played Nintendo before i got a playstation went for the PlayStation 2 after that then xbox360 and fell in with a playstation 3 and original xbox when i started repairing computers. got me in to soldering electronics etc. playstation 1 always good memories for me.
@playstation1995 with that handle im glad 😂 well done bud 👍
@Porco I went with red eyes too even though I can clearly picture them with orange eyes in my mind. So annoying. I distinctly remember those orange eyes, for me they were iconic to the game. Why did I answer red?!!
3 out of 15! I knew 2 questions and guessed 1 right. It seems that my guessing skills are terrible.
@Mad001. Hahaha.it was a lot of fun answering those questions.whats good playa.hows everything.word up son
7/15 is too bad for me tbh!
But I LOVE these articles! Thanks for the fun time
Before I answer number 3 I'd like to post a comment: if we count Ratchet: Deadlocked and Secret Agent Clank then 16 (assuming Remake and crappy mobile games count) but because Clank isn't really in Deadlocked and Ratchet isn't really in SAC I'm going with the latter. I'm going to assume collection doesn't count. My answer would be 14 but that isn't an option, so I guess I'll go 15.
And I was wrong. I object!
9 of 15. Though I knew Helghast colour and chose red anyway and also the LBP question. Secretly I'm going to say I got 10 as the R&C question wasn't specific enough
@ShogunRok I vote for this with both hands
I got 12 out of 15
9 outta 15. Tripped me up with Killzone in particular.
14/15. I missed the Square question.
11-15, I got all the dates correct despite I was just guessing those.
8/15. Most of the specific year questions got me. Though the Helghast question was sort of a cheap shot it's kind of orangish red! Either one one would work for me!...or maybe I'm going color blind. Hopefully not!
9/15 not to bad.
5/15!!
Am a true PS fan, but I'm already happy when I remember what I ate yesterday. 😂
These quiz' are fun but scoring high is pure luck for me. 🤷♂️
11 out of 15...but probably should be 9 out of 15. i guessed on MGS and Tenchu and got 'em both right. This was fun! Thanks Push Square : )
5/15 Not good. I was absent for PS3 due to 7 years of WOW.
I know R&C has 2 games for PS4 and PS5 so then 15 titles were released on the PS3? Is that correct?
5. Fecking 5! I've got more PlayStations than I got answers right! 😂🤣😂
Still kinda shocked that M$ got their hands on Crash, I thought Sony had sewn that one up long ago!
@Dethstorm35 - Not quite, there were a few released on the PS2 and PSP, plus a couple of mobile attempts. If you want the full list, you can check it out on Wikipedia.
Got 11/15, which isn’t too bad, though it would’ve been one more if I hadn’t tripped up on the killzone question.
Was surprised at how far off I was with the Ratchet question; apparently there are more Ratchet and Clank games than I thought (though I feel the HD collection being listed as a standalone entry is a bit dubious).
Also, add me on the list of people who didn’t know the Tenchu question (though in my defence, I’ve never played it)
11/15.
I should get a job at PushSquare.
I’ll work part time at PushSquare towers. I’ll take over ice cream Sunday.
That R&C question was unfair.
8/15 isnt too bad for someone who's playstation library is pretty much just JRPG's
7/15 😭 im going back to purexbox 😂 jk jk.
I hate questions about dates. I always secong guess myself then get them wrong lol.
12-15. So close.
6/15. Probably should’ve waited till morning to do this…
7/15 Failed all the what year ones, who cares right? it's all about the games.
13/15 a good result, I got the Nathan Drake and Kratos questions wrong, also for the MGS3 question, there are actually 2 guns with infinite ammo, the patriot, and the EZ gun, the EZ gun is a Noise-suppressing tranquilizer gun, you unlock it by either playing on very easy difficulty, or how I unlocked it, hunting and gathering every single plant (including medicinal plants) and animals in a single playthrough, I did that on my 3rd run of the game.
6/10 is probably better than I was expecting!
I only have 2 but happy about it.
@ShogunRok I got that one right Tenchu is one of my favourite video game series. Always played as Rikimaru first in each game except for Fatal Shadows and Z
I did woeful in this. So many of the older games I wasn’t sure about.
Enjoy these quizzes would be fun if you did a follow up article and posted what percentage of people were in each category
8/15... 🙄 A couple of the date ones I annoyingly missed by one year.
How the heck are there 17 R&C games though? I've been racking my brains and can only think of 12. How have I missed five games!? Is it counting HD remasters as well?
8/15 with some gambles im a little ashamed.
Hi there fellow gamers.
You scored 12 out of 15.
11-15: PlayStation Encyclopaedia - Wow, you should get a job at Push Square!
Where do I sign in? I could use the money. No really, I could.
Not bad for a PS fan since the PSone days.
But seriously, 17 R&C games??? That is a lot of games man.
And I only played Rift Apart.... Oh well.
Love these quizzes Push Square. Keep them coming.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
@Robdc @ShogunRok Hi there friends.
I got that one right, even though I had to go deep into my memory vault to remember.
I love playing that game so much when I was a teen.
Played and finished the game with both Rikimaru and Ayame multiple times, doing perfect no items, no sound, full stealth runs just because I could. And of all the free time I had 😜
Oh, I actualy got the EZ gun in MGS3 when I played the PS Vita version. I just took my time with it, since I was playing my Vita everyonce in a while when I was out.
Wich made The Sorrow Boss fight a cake walk 😉
Man, those were the good old days.....
Cheers, stay safe and thanks for the memories.
Have a good one you guys
9. I'm pleased.
8/15 which I think is fine for someone who never paid too much attention to consoles until now that gaming PC's are pretty much unaffordable for me xD
@Ben7982 Another idea for @antdickens there!
I got 8/15. Could be worse
Just 4 for me, and that was after getting the first 2 right. Thats about par for the course for me.
17 ratchet and clank games?!?
Do you guys count remasters and cross versions?
"PlayStation Enthusiast". I will take it.
I'm just happy I got the Tenchu question right. Played that first level so many times trying to get a perfect rating. Really had to delve deep into the memory banks with that one. Fatty pervert.
@ShogunRok Got that question, absolutely love the tenchu series, they should bring it back.
Got 13/15, I'm happy with that, wish I got the square-enix one right though, I used to love that company during the ps2 era.
@Anti-Matter Huh?
@TheRealist
Well, because I am a different gamer.
I played completely different games on PlayStation machines, unlike almost everybody here.
I played DDR games, other BEMANI games, The Sims Bustin' Out, Bomberman, K-1, Barbie, Monster Rancher 4, Mini Ninjas, Hannah Montana the Movie, etc. All the games for kids.
10/15 Probably should’ve given a few a bit more thought. Haha
Never would’ve guessed the Ratchet or Drake questions though.
11-15: PlayStation Encyclopaedia - Wow, you should get a job at Push Square!
11 out of 15, not shabby.
@riceNpea @Ben7982 thanks both, I've made a note of both of these ideas in our product ideas tracker, so will refer back to them when we next do some dev on the quiz tool could be fun!
14 of 15... I got right the Tenchu one and the GOW questions by pure luck
@Anti-Matter Why do you hate them? Have you even tried some rated M games? Are you just referring to rated M games from PS1 and 2 eras?
I got 11/15. Apparently I'm a Playstation encyclopedia and I should work at Push Square. I'll be awaiting my job offer.
9/15. apparently, I'm a PlayStation enthusiast.
@Ausertoo
I will never ever want to play any rated M games on any machines with gruesome and inappropriate contents on it. I hate to feed my brain and my eyes with such inappropriate things to watch. It just something that really offending me and turn on my anger and hatred.
I just only want to play kids games, feed my brain and eyes with something cute, colorful and safe to watch contents.
All the disgusting adult stuffs should stay away from me.
Btw, I am 37 years old dude with very different gaming interest.
@Anti-Matter Damn, well at least if you're getting enjoyment out of those games that's good. What about rated T games, do you try some of those out? A game like Portal is a great experience to try out. There's also great "walking simulator" like What Remains of Edith Finch that are rated T.
@Ausertoo
I played very few rated Teen games as long they are still appropriate enough with my gaming rules.
I set very strict gaming rules and age rating to make sure I only pick appropriate games to play and watch.
The rated Teen games I played are such as The Sims games, FF VIII, FF IX, FF X/X-2, FF XII, FF XIII, Street Fighter games, Star fox Adventures, etc. But I still prioritize more rated Everyone and Everyone 10+ games by 95% than Teen games.
I played very different games unlike majority users here. You will never see kind of gamer like me oftenly.
I played DDR and other BEMANI games as I am a huge fan of Konami's Rhythm games. And that's why I am good in Rhythm games but I never like Western rhythm games such as Just Dance or Guitar Hero or Rock Band as they have horrible licensed songs choices and unappealing way to play.
I played Barbie, Pocoyo, Imagine & Petz games by Ubisoft, Style Savvy, JS Girls, Cooking Mama, Pretty Princess Party, My Sims games, Jake Power NDS games, etc. They are unpopular or niche games for kids but I have interest with them instead. Different peoples, different interest and life situation, different game choices.
@Jayofmaya Right? 17 doesn't make sense. Remake is ok, cause it's an reimagination of the game/movie tie-in, not just visuals. Before the Nexus for smartphones can't be counted and HD Trilogy? Really? Secret Agent Clank and Deadlocked are up for discussion.
@SilenceCZ We shall make our own quiz with fairer questions!
5/10. No excuses. XD
@Anti-Matter although I can't say if you are joking or not, it is indeed a choice to avoid some imagery in games or any other media. I'm 34 and I'm a horror fan, despite enjoying quite a lot of other types of games and media. Unfortunately, some, albeit not having disturbing imagery, are quite unsettling in it's history, games like What Remains of Edith Finch, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, The Suicide Of Rachel Foster, Firewatch, and a few more, despite lacking any horror or gore in the true sense, have very hard subjects to approach. I wonder what to do you think of this, and if you happen to ever played one of them, and if you did, what was your impression? Have an awesome day.
@CarlosR87
I am a different kind of gamer.
I don't play games like majority users here.
I played Dance Dance Revolution games, other BEMANI games (Para Para Paradise, DrumMania, Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, Keyboardmania), K-1, Hello Kitty, The Sims Bustin' Out, Chocobo Racing, Pocket Fighter, Barbie games, Bomberman games, Monster Farm 4, etc.
I hate every rated M games, I hate horror games. I will never ever want to play those games. Don't even care with their existences.
I only like to play games for kids with very few acceptable Teen games. Just only play kids games.
I wasn't joking about my game references since every people have their own gaming interest.
3 out of 15.. wow :/
