I liked the one in GTA San Andreas, where there was a sign near the golden gate bridge stating some data about it (height, length) which also said "takes up a staggering 2.9 MB of disk storage"
That game is filled with Easter Eggs. There's an reference to Max Payne which rockstar only help as being an publisher for the first 2 Max Payne games and then creators, producers, and publishers for the 3rd game in the Max Payne series. And there's also an reference to the previously mentioned Half-Life.
I liked the one during stealth mission in Mad Dogg's house - one guard was playing a game and said "Tanner, you suck!" being an obvious remark to how crappy Driv3r was back then.
My favorite easter egg is Earthbound's anti-piracy measure. Enemy encounters become much, much more frequent, making the game a slog. If a pirate still manages to make it to the end, the game freezes in the final few moments before the climax, and deletes the save file
My favorite is GTA IV's anti-piracy measure. It makes camera go in drunk mode(shake around much) and if you will be okay with that(hard), there is also thing with cars: when you get in car, it gets uncontrollable, starts driving always forward and getting damaged so small impact will make it explode, making game impossible to complete :D
One anecdote I was hoping he would include in the piracy bit is the story of how Titan Quest completely screwed itself over by making the game buggy and unplayable to anyone with a pirated copy. But the game was pirated so heavily right at launch, that most reviews contained something like "Although I didn't experience any problems, many players report the game is nearly unplayable from bugs".
@@LuizAlexPhoenix I think you're confusing the megalodon on nansha strike with the one on paracel storm, which was never implemented and wasted everyone's time
...no it wasn't? They only ended up adding it, and not to the actual game only to the community test environment, in a patch after people kept talking about it.
Prince Broly You mean Half-Life looks better than Deus Ex: Human Revolution that actually came out in 2011? I'm not talking about Quake. Look specifically at 7:05. He messed up the year of Deus Ex: HR.
Probably because they spent an unimaginably large time creating a game, requiring the profits to feed themselves. If someone took that from you it's like robbing you indirectly.
The just cause series has SO many Easter eggs. My favourite is in a building site, after going down a stair level, you can hear the feint sound of ‘take on me’... after entering the room, the screen becomes a drawn filter, like in the music video, paired with the nostalgic rave I had after the music booms through the speakers. Ah good times...
My personal favorite easter eggs are the joke endings in the original Silent Hill games. It's such a serious franchise - full of subtlety, genuine emotion and deep symbolism. Then you see that Team Silent was willing to blame all the 2nd game's events on a dog at a generic cold-war era computer. Plus the ridiculous other endings with the protagonists being abducted by aliens just for some dumb fun.
GTA: SA was a huge deal back in the day. Not only there were tons of easter eggs, people even faked them and claimed they saw Yetti for instance and even made fake pictures from the game with Yetti photoshoped in.
I completely forgot about the SA easter eggs. i remember a buddy of mine being completely obsessed with finding the Yeti, and something about a self-driving car with no driver, can't exactly remember.
Can't beat a good old Zombies "Easter Egg" Although I'm not sure they qualify these days as there are achievements for them which kind of goes against the Easter Egg mentality.
Well the way to get them isn’t blantently screamed in your face like a lot of other achievements are. You still have to find all of the activations for them.
If theres an achievement for it its not an easter egg period. Easter eggs are supposed to be secrets. Telling you straight out that they exist directly invalidates it as an easter egg
Another piracy Easter Egg which I enjoyed was in Game Dev Tycoon. The developers included a "bug" where your company would go bankrupt through piracy. Giving pirates a taste of their own medicine
I recently happened upon an Unturned Easter Egg in Worms WMD, where you can get three zombie masks for your worms that look identical to the normal Zombie, Hyper Zombie, and Mega Zombie. As someone who's played both games for years, it was quite the pleasant surprise.
In Arma 1, it often says "legitimate copies don't degrade" which made you turn into a seagull after a couple of minutes. They also made weapon dispersion impossibly large, eventually rendering the game unplayable.
Honestly, this channel was a hidden gem to find in TH-cam. I'm so glad I found it. The thought process and deliverance of the speech is wonderful, the videos themselves are fantastic.
A favourite of mine is in Zelda OOT, when you visit Princess Zelda as Young Link, if you look through the window there's multiple Mario characters on the other side. I like it so much since my brother actually found it by himself without hearing it as a rumour on the net as we have with others. I've always remembered his reaction when he found it, even though it was years ago. We didn't know that it was such a normal thing to sneak Easter eggs in.
There is an Easter egg in the level of black ops 2 campaign in which you record Raul menendez's conversation, you walk through the room that was the menu screen in black ops 1 as your partner talks about past spec ops missions, he states, "who knows what they did back then" as he pushes aside the TV that you were strapped in front of in black ops 1
Old versions of Windows had the best easter eggs. From car racing, to flight simulator, to pinball to hall of doom. Windows had it all. Also the Doctor Who Easter Eggs in the Fallout Series are among my favorite.
While it hadn't been discovered when this video was made, the golden peyote hunt that ends with you fighting Teen Wolf in GTA 5 is a rather impressive, lengthy easter egg, and certainly one of my favourites, just by virtue of its sheer depth.
one of my favourite easter eggs, because it was I think the first one I stumbled onto wholly of my own accord, is a particular level of Duke Nukem 3D. The level has no jetpacks within it, but if you used a cheat to give yourself one anyway and went to an alcove across the ravine where a cannon was stationed, the wall inside had "You're not supposed to be here - Levelord" written on it
i really liked some of the easter eggs in watchdogs, especially the hidden QR code challenges in the game, finding the codes in and of itself is fun but you can actually scan them with a smartphone in real life and reveal a bunch of hidden messages
my favorite is in metroid fusion where you get the secret message that even asks how many people will see it, since it requires a particularly difficult shinespark.
I love the secret dinosaur mini-campaign hidden in the first Command & Conquer game - their little tribute to the Jurassic Park movie and the whole dinosaur craze going around. And then they did it again in Red Alert 1, giving tribute to classic cold war radiation scare movies with a campaign revolving around giant ants. Both Easter eggs also have some interesting internal development tales attached to them. The dinosaur missions in the first game were made completely behind the executives' backs, but accidentally revealed in some meeting. In Red Alert, where they had been strictly forbidden from pulling that kind of stunt again, they snuck morse code messages about giant ants into the page decorations of the game's manual, to which they got overwhelming fan response, and thus they managed to 'blackmail' the executives into allowing them to create the ant missions for the first expansion pack.
Gordonkris it was in duke nukem 3d id software had already announced quake years before and considering id would be the main competition no matter what they released they had duke say i aint afraid of no quake since quake was slated to release very soon after
My favorite was the actual Easter Egg in GTA Vice City. Literally if you jumped through a window in a building there was a chocolate egg on a pedestal.
As a fan of Dark Souls, I was tickled by the bonfire easter egg found in Borderlands 2. It's hidden under city of Sanctuary and requires you to find a way to get through a large lake of acid to find a hidden island.
There's one room in Super Mario 3D Land that has extinct torches on all four corners. The level is nice because it's in a top down perspective. If you happen to have a fire flower power up, you can light the torches and when all four are lit, you'll hear the Zelda "secret unlocked" theme as a grid opens to a secret room.
My favorite mistake 'easter egg' are combos in Street Fighter II. You weren't supposed to originally be able to string together attacks in an unavoidable succession, but players found this and began to use it as a strategy. Capcom recognizing the potential of this glitch and implementing it in further Street Fighter releases was the birth of combos in fighting games.
"Anti-piracy" easter eggs are a nice idea in theory, but especially with older games where always-online access was far less common, the methods for determining whether or not a game was pirated were... less than perfect.
As a long-time Commander Keen fan, my favorite is the boy's helmet on a cartoony skull in Doom 2016. It made me happy to know that iD hadn't forgotten their humble roots.
Stu tweeted that somewhere, hidden in this video, is an Easter egg of his own. That's right, kids. Somewhere in this video there is an image of his face.
There was one Easter egg in Jak 3 that, if I recall correctly, required you to fly as light Jak into some pipes near the Hip-Hog Saloon and there you would find a picture of the Naughty Dog dev team.
In GTA san andreas, if you get to the top the of golden gate bridge, you will find a message saying ''no easter egg here'' which ironically, is an easter egg
One of my favourites of all time is in The Course of Monkey Island where you had to make Guybrush "look at" the oceans water on Blood Island about 20 or 25 times until he finally answers with "well if you insist..." and you can see yourself in the scene from the very first Monkey Island and Guybrush is floating around dead after being killed.
One of my favorites resides in a point and click game called facility 47. The entire game in text adventure form can be found on a computer later in the game.
I was really hoping he would mention how legend of zelda, dragon quest, and final fantasy all reference each other on grave stones throughout the games.
In the old Bungie game, Pathways Into Darkness, there was a hidden room with a long hallway where at the end you found a treasure, a fancy egg aptly titled "Easter Egg" and eating it warped you to the last level
There are so many easter eggs videos, but the production value of your videos are always so awesome that I can't stop watching them. It's become one of my favorite channels in a few days haha
Bungie has tons of Easter eggs in the Halo series, specificity Halo 3. My personal favorites include the red vs blue dialogue marines, the reoccurring Rude Grunt, and the a secret Master Chief aboard the POA at the end of Reach.
One of my favorites is the GTA Vice City one. You had to be on a certain roof & make a leap of faith into the wall of another building to enter a room & see a chocolate Easter egg on a pedestal! Lmao
My favorite Easter egg is in MGS 3, if you call Signet (the firearms expert) when you are inside a cardboard box, Snake starts talking about how great the box is, and Signet gets creeped out. XD
I remember Lemmings for the Amiga - the pirate version wouldn't allow you to see the ending. One of strangest glitches in I game I have experienced was for the Commodore 64 version of Dynamite Dux (1988) - I bought the legal version of it and whenever I played it, it played automatically with a cheat of infinite lives. So I completed the entire game first play.
I've heard that there's an Easter egg in one of the battlefield games that in multiplayer you can "blow up" the sun causing the map to go completely pitch black
How about the skulls in Halo? In Halo 3, picking up a skull would give you an achievement and the option to go back to the main campaign screen and manipulate the gameplay. In Halo 2, Picking up skulls would directly affect gameplay. They started appearing in Halo 5, with the same system as Halo 3.
The skulls are good easter eggs and can be fun to manipulate and play around with, but who could forget about the Night Club easter egg in Halo: Reach? Or better yet, the Legendary Scarab Gun from Halo 2?
One of my personal favorate easter egg games is not from a game at all but from microsoft office. In Excel in office 95, 97, and 2000 all had different games hidden inside of them (A mini-doom clone, a flight sim, and a spy hunter clone respectively), See the wikipedia page for List_of_Easter_eggs_in_Microsoft_products for more info
What I love most about those is the sheer lengths you have to go to get to them. I'm convinced no one ever found them by accident, but relied on leaks from the dev team (probably the person responsible couldn't resist showing it off to a friend or family member outside of work, or several).
My favorite egg is in Far Cry 3 where you can find Mclovin's head in the sand. It's a reference to the webisodes of Far Cry 3 where Mclovin explores the islands that inspired the game.
Video Whizball is a great name for a video game. I seem to remember X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Singularity having Lost references as well. Something was in the water over at Activision for a bit there.
That hack n slash game in MGS3 was a pretty cool easter egg. You had to save while in the jail and then load the save and Snake would have a nightmare.
One of the "pirating stops the progress to a grinding halt" Easter Eggs found in The Settlers 3, that i find hilarious. You Iron Mines only produce Pigs for you slaughterhouse. -> No Iron -> No Weapons -> No Army -> You're doomed to fail at the very first ambush.
I don't know if you can really count it as an Easter egg. But the upside down continuation of the castle in Castlevania SOTN that you have to pass in order to get the true ending was incredibly surprising and mind boggling to me. It was pretty obscure to get and magnificent in size. Was also a really ballsy move for the game developers to hide a big chunk of their game from most players.
Why? He can make videos on any topic he wants, whenever he wants, without having to convince producers. Fuck TV and fuck those that think TV deserves people like Stuart Brown.
Wild Wasteland was an on/off switch for Easter Eggs. Everything from Holy Hand Grenades replacing a couple mini-nukes and Robocop lines in the base game to Cyberdogs Playing Poker and Venture Bros. references in one of the DLCs.
I feel the stanley parable is underrepresented in this list. this game really is filled with stuff to discover and even the developer claims on the steam forums he doesn't know all the stuff and even though a lot has been found there is probably more stuff hidden. Sometimes a complete game is hidden within normal software as an easteregg. for example excel has a flight simulator
3:47 that hatch is not from Lost sometimes if you swim to it there is a light on and a tapping noise, the tapping noise is morse code. People say its Roman Bellic from gta 4 because the morse code translates as: 'I told you! Let's go bowling!'
Personal favorites: 5. The Yume Nikki Uboa reference in Nightmare House 2. 4. Triggering stream chat in VA-11 Hall A on seemingly any scene in the game. 3. Pretty much all of Ratchet and Clank 2's Insomniac Museum. 2. The SOD OFF cheese wheel and NO U egg in A Hat in Time, particularly the one in the Seal the Deal DLC level. 1. The Disco Room in Stanley Parable.
I liked the one in GTA San Andreas, where there was a sign near the golden gate bridge stating some data about it (height, length) which also said "takes up a staggering 2.9 MB of disk storage"

+Flabulo Yeah that one too

Oh the humanity. I suppose you should make it clear to the player that the reason for the bad shit happening is because it's pirated.
@@PresidentialWinner _"Yeah right 'PiRaTeD', if your game is buggy admit it"_ pretty sure they would say that
"Nice try, but this is not the real Easter egg."
I downloaded the QR-code reader application just to see that.
So there IS a hidden easter egg in this video
I had to invert the colors of the QR code.
Admiralex91 What do you mean?
There is a QR code at the end of the video
Admiralex91 I know, but what do you mean by inverting the colours?
The Megalodon easter egg in BF4 turned out to be true lol.
Yep. I chuckled at “fruitless”.
IIRC, it was patched in later but the people looking for it wasted a lot of time before it was implemented.

and now there is a mode for that
I remember Lemmings for the Amiga - the pirate version wouldn't allow you to see the ending. One of strangest glitches in I game I have experienced was for the Commodore 64 version of Dynamite Dux (1988) - I bought the legal version of it and whenever I played it, it played automatically with a cheat of infinite lives. So I completed the entire game first play.
"Sorry, but this is not the real easter egg."
God damn it...
I've heard that there's an Easter egg in one of the battlefield games that in multiplayer you can "blow up" the sun causing the map to go completely pitch black
How about the skulls in Halo? In Halo 3, picking up a skull would give you an achievement and the option to go back to the main campaign screen and manipulate the gameplay. In Halo 2, Picking up skulls would directly affect gameplay. They started appearing in Halo 5, with the same system as Halo 3.
The skulls are good easter eggs and can be fun to manipulate and play around with, but who could forget about the Night Club easter egg in Halo: Reach? Or better yet, the Legendary Scarab Gun from Halo 2?
Nothing beats the absolutely corking Pelican easter egg in Halo Reach on the Falcon patrol mission
My favorite Easter Egg of all time is finding "Dosh" (Killing floor 1 & 2's currency) in Depth. (The scary shark game)
Devs should do what Serious sam 3 did more. make an invincible enemy follow them around throughout the entire game if they pirated it.
My favorite was in Donkey Kong 64 where a special computer let you play the old Donkey Kong game from when it was in the arcade.
Megaladon turned out to be a fruitful search.
Only because DICE included it afterwards
Having Kane and Lynch literally in Hitman Absolution was pretty cool
One of my personal favorate easter egg games is not from a game at all but from microsoft office. In Excel in office 95, 97, and 2000 all had different games hidden inside of them (A mini-doom clone, a flight sim, and a spy hunter clone respectively), See the wikipedia page for List_of_Easter_eggs_in_Microsoft_products for more info
What I love most about those is the sheer lengths you have to go to get to them. I'm convinced no one ever found them by accident, but relied on leaks from the dev team (probably the person responsible couldn't resist showing it off to a friend or family member outside of work, or several).
The embedded face at 2:34 was genious. It gave me memories of Nine Inch Nails' Year Zero ARG. Thanks for the smile!
Destiny’s “Loot cave” Easter egg. Spooky and nostalgic
My favorite egg is in Far Cry 3 where you can find Mclovin's head in the sand. It's a reference to the webisodes of Far Cry 3 where Mclovin explores the islands that inspired the game.
I love you, i just wish you uploaded more!
Also, in GTA4, that No Hidden Content sign is a reference to the "There's no Easter Eggs up here." sign in San Andreas
Video Whizball is a great name for a video game.
I seem to remember X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Singularity having Lost references as well. Something was in the water over at Activision for a bit there.
Origins: Wolverine has a reference to World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (the sword Frostmourne).
That hack n slash game in MGS3 was a pretty cool easter egg. You had to save while in the jail and then load the save and Snake would have a nightmare.
There are no easter eggs up here. Go away.
Ok
@@LobasTheHokas San Andreas easter egg....
4:21 there's also a Louis voice line were he says "I feel like Gordon Freeman" when he picks up the crowbar
One of my favorites is a poster of Destiny in Halo 3 Odst.
I love that the Thargoids actually exist in the game now.
Naked girl Easter egg at 11:36
nice try...
Your welcome
nice try. but get better
wow how hilarious
ive never seen a comment like this before
oh wait
i have
Pokemon Stuff I looked in the comments before i fell for that shitty bait.
One of the "pirating stops the progress to a grinding halt" Easter Eggs found in The Settlers 3, that i find hilarious. You Iron Mines only produce Pigs for you slaughterhouse. -> No Iron -> No Weapons -> No Army -> You're doomed to fail at the very first ambush.
8:37 Am I the only one who believes Missingno looks like the side of an arcade machine?
Easter Eggs show the creativity and passion that game devs have for their products that I wish they could get to show more of in triple A titles
Final Fantasy VII probably has the Easter Eggs I remember best. So many of them too.
I don't know if you can really count it as an Easter egg. But the upside down continuation of the castle in Castlevania SOTN that you have to pass in order to get the true ending was incredibly surprising and mind boggling to me. It was pretty obscure to get and magnificent in size. Was also a really ballsy move for the game developers to hide a big chunk of their game from most players.
You should totally work for Discovery channel
I know right? His voice... my god
Shigani Kanaki #StuForDiscovery
IJUSTWANTAQUIETLIFE hmm yes, he sure is suited for the job
Why? He can make videos on any topic he wants, whenever he wants, without having to convince producers. Fuck TV and fuck those that think TV deserves people like Stuart Brown.
@@nixdy6180 sounds like a call of duty character.
Wild Wasteland was an on/off switch for Easter Eggs. Everything from Holy Hand Grenades replacing a couple mini-nukes and Robocop lines in the base game to Cyberdogs Playing Poker and Venture Bros. references in one of the DLCs.
Nice try, but this is not the real Easter egg.
I feel the stanley parable is underrepresented in this list. this game really is filled with stuff to discover and even the developer claims on the steam forums he doesn't know all the stuff and even though a lot has been found there is probably more stuff hidden. Sometimes a complete game is hidden within normal software as an easteregg. for example excel has a flight simulator
3:47 that hatch is not from Lost sometimes if you swim to it there is a light on and a tapping noise, the tapping noise is morse code. People say its Roman Bellic from gta 4 because the morse code translates as: 'I told you! Let's go bowling!'
Roman, for the last time, I DON'T FUCKING WANT TO GO BOWLING.
Gabriele Princiotta lol
Personal favorites:
5. The Yume Nikki Uboa reference in Nightmare House 2.
4. Triggering stream chat in VA-11 Hall A on seemingly any scene in the game.
3. Pretty much all of Ratchet and Clank 2's Insomniac Museum.
2. The SOD OFF cheese wheel and NO U egg in A Hat in Time, particularly the one in the Seal the Deal DLC level.
1. The Disco Room in Stanley Parable.
Old School easter eggs are so scary to me. Idk why. same thing with piracy easter eggs.
I agree dont know why though
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem XD
The Phantom bow easter egg in BF4 was huge until they released it in a random map
I liked the anti piracy thing they did in game dev tycoon where you actually get your content leaked and make no money off games due to piracy
I torrented that and it didnt happen
***** Ma nigga bro. NOSTeam.ro, am I right?
Ah man, no mention of the easter eggs from Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics. They had such amazing easter eggs.
