Ex-Playstation employee here, I worked in the company right when the PS Vita was released, they also told us it was an accessory port, supposedly to "extend the functionality and experience" of the PS Vita, but not even we were told what kind of accessories were going to be released, not even management knew, so it's an even bigger mystery than one thinks.
The idea of a external UMD drive made me chuckle. Would take a week to break whatever protection was on it and than PC's could do 100% PSP emulation and do perfect dumps of UMD games/movies. WHICH explains the walk-back on that idea.
Honestly I wonder if someone could make a port for it to a joystick arcade controller for fighting games and see if that works, I wonder if it was served for that purpose maybe.
Cyberpunk creators have said they put a lot of secrets in the game that no one has found yet. I absolutely think the magenta secret is one of them along with others we don't know about.
Gavin is an example of how hard it was to track people back in the day. People would go missing and that would be it. And it was extremely easy for it to happen too. Imagine the anxious, desperate feeling of losing a friend or loved one and not having a forum to post about it or social media or anything. Ooky spooky 😵💫😬
I thought Gavin was an easter egg from the devs about one of their colleagues named Gavin who was always late / they couldn't find him when needed. So a cheeky nod towards Gavin and his often disappearances 😂

Hex FF 06 B5 is 16713397 decimal. The FF value looks like an 8 bit rollover value intended to trigger something. Increment it by one and it resets to zero. Hex 06 B5 is 1717 decimal. I think I'd be setting the system clock and/or game time to 17:17 and seeing what if anything happens by the statue. Failing that I'd be looking for FF 06 B5 (or an offset version of it) in the code and I'd reset it to 00 06 B5. Once again I'd be checking out the statue.
The Gavin mystery was solved after people search his name in the game on PC they ended up finding that Gavin model is the guy who is searching for Gavin which could be that Gavin and the guy are the same person just split personality
Regarding the PSVita mystery port, I think it's exactly what it looks like, an expansion port that had planned attachments but was just never used because the Vita didn't meet expectations. Nintendo and Sega used to do that sort of thing all the time during the cartridge era, where the NES, SNES, and N64 all had expansion ports that were either completely unused or the accessories that went to them didn't release outside Japan, like the Famicom net modems or N64DD.
The Borealis is explained in Epistle 3 by Laidlaw. It's a time and space travel device. Whether you consider Epistle 3 and/or it's content canon or not is up to you.
Elite Dangerous and Raxxla is a big mystery. It's only mentioned in a book that came with the first Elite game in the 80's. David Braben has confirmed it's in the current game. The problem is there are 400 billion star systems in the game and after nearly 8 years of searching players have mapped less than 0.1% of the galaxy. Good luck finding that one!
In fact, the documentation and prototypes pig Atari's Mirai console are stored on a magenta compartment inside Borealis, that needs a perfect code to be opened.
If I remember correctly, the Marathon -> Destiny connection is that Marathon is a paraverse or alternate universe to Destiny. I believe that was all confirmed with the 30th Anniversary update in Destiny with the Dares of Eternity game mode and some of the Marathon/Halo inspired weapons. Hell, even the MIDA Multitool and MIDA Minitool are a reference to the MIDA corporation in Bungie's earlier works and the lore tab on MIDA Multitool even states that it was pulled in from an alternate timeline.
Building off your comment, with the release of the 30th Anniversary Update on Destiny 2 it's strongly implied that all Bungie games are within the same multiverse, or Paraverse as Bungie themselves named it, and beings of immense power have the ability to manipulate the boundaries between the universes as seen by the Master Chief pod, the Horse that pulls enemies from other timelines, Halo and Marathon weapons. And vice versa, the Flower game reference in Marathon, the Destiny Awaits poster with the Traveler in Halo
It would be cool if(and i know it would take about a hundred impossible miracles for it to happen)eventually it was revealed that yes, Marathon, Halo, and Destiny are all canonical to each other.
There’s another Cyberpunk mystery that’s good to with the whole mind control people erasing and replacing their memories with their own new ones. Alongside the whole mystery with “Blue eyes”.
I think the Megaman mystery can be best described by this iconic quote: “NO THIS ISN’T HAPPENING, THERE’S NO REASON FOR ME TO GO ON, WHA- WHAT AM I [searching] FORRRRRRRR”
Having owned a Vita for a while, I honestly never even noticed that it had that port. Went to go check, and yup, there it was, and now I'm just wondering how I'd never seen the damn thing
My take on number 9 is that it's just meant to be a futuristic type of modern art. As in, in the future some modern artist could just display the color code instead of actually painting the statue, so everybody could imagine it painted in their head. That's pretty simple and also kinda cool from an artistic point of view. There's no mystery behind there :)
Nope, one of the devs that regularly streams the game has confirmed there is a secret that no one has found up to now. The crazy stuff is that you can find random doors in buildings you can open theres allot of things the game never tells about with icons
Nothing beats the gaming pride feeling I get just watching the videos of this channel. I'm 23 and I surprise myself at how much lore I'm familiar with in some games! Gameranx thank you. you are the best going channel out there!
Marathon is connected through an alternate reality that BEE once passed through during a slip space malfunction, that’s how it’s connected and the AI in halo CE the AI passed through a similar malfunction that BEE experienced
The fact that Cyberpunk: Edge runners revived the Cyberpunk community, it actually very relevant to the point where in-game mysteries have such a following and that only happens with a successful and well received game.
Speaking of connections between Halo and Destiny, there's obscure lore somewhere in Destiny 1 where Ghost spoke about trying to resurrect someone with a strong light (before he found our player character), but the dude said he just wanted to sleep, that his previous battles were enough for a thousand lifetimes. The warrior was implied to be John 117. Also more obvious would be the addition of the Forerunner exotic weapon, which was heavily implied to be (and even looks a lot like) the Halo 1 pistol. The gunsmith even said that it was too big for a sidearm, like the person who used to wield it was massive, before he had to tinker with it and downsize it.
About Gavin: "The joke is apparently a reference to a Rockstar Games Developer who reportedly left the company in 2016 after expressing doubts in Red Dead Redemption 2. The joke is basically saying, where is Gavin after this extremely successful game was released."
In Fable there was a mystery that drove me nuts. After a quest, someone tells you “the blue nymph stands at a quarter past three.” (I think that was it lol) could never figure out what it meant though.
That'd interesting? Have you tried going back to that guy at a quarter past three real time, both AM or PM and see what he had to say next? I've only played Fable 2 & 3. Unfortunately never played the first one.
My theory for the Cyberpunk Magenta mystery: Magenta is the primary color theme of the multiplayer since in the developers own words it's "Going to be a separate game"
My theory is that Gavin is an employee of the developer who somehow is never at his desk. Nigel represents all his co-workers during development “Where the heck is Gavin!?”
I personally think Gavin is just a fellow developer at Rockstar who is always missing when they need him. And we the player are just witnessing an inside joke meant for 1 person.
I always assumed that Nigel and Gavin is a rockstar inside joke about a developer called Nigel who was looking for a guy at the company called Gavin who was always late and never around when you needed him.
The logic behind Magenta is that it's an impossible color that our minds made up because we couldn't handle that red and purple actually make green. See beyond magenta, and you'll have your answer. Also Nigel dresses like the Joker.
Bungie has hinted at a sort of multiverse that spans their games, not as in the games take place in the same universe, but rather their own universes that are in some way connected, further hinted at when they released the 30th anniversary event in Destiny 2, where they implied that the Halo Magnum somehow made its way into the Destiny universe, and also with Mida Multitool, where it straight up is implied in lore that it's not from the universe the game takes place in.
Uhhh...Gavin IS Nigel. How tf do you guys not know this? The letter you find confirms this. Look into it more, and you just might feel silly afterwards.
Actually my theory is that NIGEL have 2 personalities and GAVIN is him in his 2nd personality. ^_- So basically Bungie had a one massive story and they split it in sections to create MARATHON / HALO / DESTINY . Cool. :)
I have always wondered what determine the color of eggs in RE4. Is it by a set percentage of chance? Do all color has equal or different chance? Can you somehow manipulate it to spawn gold more often? Because it is known that healing items drop from enemy more when Leon stay in low health. Also in the village does scaring the chicken help faster egg spawn or not to touch them. I need to know.
I'm going to have to call out that last one. First, Halo wasn't going to be a FPS game. It was going to be an RTS. Two, the Spartans were just going to be one of the upgraded units you could get in that RTS. And finally, it's pretty standard practice to take unused or underused ideas and themes from previous works and flesh them out for new ones. This honestly just sounds like they scavenged Marathon's unused character concepts and applied them to the new IP they were crunching their way through.
Falcon, my twin sister and I (fraternal) have our birthday a few days before Halloween. Would you give us a video discussing unique horrors of some variety? Unique horror games, or uniques concepts or monsters? Something involving horror and uniqueness.
I like the Cyberpunk 2077 statue thing. Even though I have the game (haven't played it due to playing other games), I find it funny because I always sense that the answer is in plain sight or non existent at all to trick us gamers (wild goose chase).
I think you're right. Magenta is a color our mind makes up. It has no place on the electromagnetic spectrum. I think it's a good allegory for religion in Cyberpunk 2077.
@@Dilirium23 I gave it some more thought on this. Maybe it’s something us gamers have to figure out outside the game like using Command Line or Powershell. Then utilizing the results in the game for further code or function in game. I dunno it intrigued me last night but it could be nothing or something someone already came up with.
yeah but you know us gamers, something like this that seems like a goose chase just makes us think more and more that its a SUPER secret disguised as a goose chase
I've tested Games on the PS VITA back when i was with Sony. And that port was used as a USB input. Basically a Software in the PC would depend on that port to install/remove applications from the device.
1:44 As a game developer I would say the solution is this: The color code is the code that's used as a transparency color for scenes and models. For example, if you create a model with a material or texture, then import the model without it's associated material/texture into a game engine (esp. Unity), the model will appear in this color. When objects of this color appear in actual game play, the object is "ignored" for purposes of collision detection, display, and the like. If the developers were pointing to something, though, I'm willing to bet that there are some invisible objects in the scene that may be affecting game play at or around the point. One trick a dev could do is have one of these invisible models trigger a script that changes something somewhere else in the game when the PC comes too close, as an example.
but that would mean to uncover whatever is being hidden we would need access to the engine files it was made with, and the engine there in... would it not? then on top of that you would have to scour the whole game and all sequences within the game, top to bottom. changing all textures to this magenta color one by one to uncover the hidden secret. and even then, on something this massive of a scale. the possibility of overlooking what youre trying to find would still be tremendous. fuck that part being impossible. how are we supposed to get into the game dev software and edit the game on a "developer" level!?!?! it isnt exactly like your average joe can click and drag the EXE into unreal engine and et-viola pursue this possible lead XD much less have enough people to ensure that it dosent get missed on the first pass, because were basically talking about breaking into or heisting equipment from CD project red to do so
The Perfect Code honestly could just be an identifier for that specific run similar to how arcades let you put in your 3-character ID to show your run next to your high score. Obviously conjecture but it's as good a thought as any.
actually, nuclear fusion reactors have been around since the 80's, but since to this day they still cost more energy to run than you get out of it, it's still considered useless. we're getting pretty close to the break even point though, the first viable fusion reactor may be in reach within this decade
For the "Magenta Code," I think it may be for a time and/or place. Just started up a game and wanted to load a save and it had a time stamp. The time was labeled 12:34:56. I have not played Steampunk 2077, but maybe the letters and numbers are also a correlation within the map (X:Y:Z) based on where the code is disabled. However, I'm sure both have already been thought of before.
@@whatsgudcuh3602 good idea but if it does point to a time/place said date & location has yet to be uncovered. it would probably be decoded to a date and time @ (x, y,) of a sort. but how? we dont know lol
Detroit: Become Human has a mystery of Ra9 that was all over the place in some levels of the game, plus, was loosely tied to the narrative, but we still don’t know what or who Ra9 is.
The Gavin thing is just a reference to Gavin Free from Rooster Teeth since he is never at the office and both Jack and Geoff are also in the game it's basically just a easter egg like how Cyberpunk has a bunch of streamers and youtubers in.
I saw a “cut content” video that shows a giant from a freak show that ran away because it had been bullied so much, that call itself Gavin. Perhaps it is the conclusion of Nigel’s quest that we never received Edit: yeah I quit, spend a whole hour trying to find the damn video on my history, and nothing, it was months ago and the difficulty in finding information about it makes me question its validity.
Ten Monopoly dollars that the guy looking for Gavin and calling out for Gavin all the time in RDR2 is a reference to Gavin from the Slowmo Guys and Achievement Hunter. Achievment Hunter had some easter eggs in both GTA:5 and...um...the RDR1 expansion that had the zombies in it that I can't think of the name of. Crap...
I’d prob buy a Nintendo switch if they made another Mario sunshine game, even with the glitches and bugs I still love that game. Matter of fact I love the GameCube, bought it for resident evil games, Nintendo had an exclusive deal so RE games would only appear on GameCube, but I think Mario sunshine and Luigi’s mansion were the games I played most on GameCube
The secret is the grid map, you will need to place a grind on the in game map itself and the correct grid size and it will give you the locations Sovled this a long time ago.
It’s no longer a mystery or theory between Nigel/Gavin. It’s implied in the note (while John) that Nigel no longer have Gavin because he accomplished what he needed to. He needed Gavin in order to achieve what he has achieved and once achieved Gavin disappeared. Nigel is dependent upon that personality so he searches for him endlessly. We all know this. Nigel IS Gavin… Gavin will never be found. The note was addressed to Nigel but vaguely references Gavin.
I don't know much about Marathon or Halo lore, but from an outsiders perspective, sounds like it could just be easter eggs or developers taking a chance to make ideas they wanted to before but couldn't get them in in past games. I could certainly be wrong, but tis what it looked like to me.
The cyberpunk mystery is easy, it's the reference to "dark light." In the chakra system the last 2 or 3rd eye and enlightenment are indigo and violet. Combined this creates magenta, cyberpunk is embracing the "shadow" or darkness looking outward. "We're all chasing the same light, some chase it from the opposite end of the spectrum."
@@CanIHasThisName Figured it was just lore for cyberpunk monk culture that has a real world ideology. They didn't really ever explore the monk lore, sadly.
Thanks Tech Ranger! There is a Divergence AIO complete edition which has the base game with the all creation club content packed in one mod. Saw you had both mods separately, and thought you should know in case you didn’t.
My guess about the Borealis is that it was a ship experimenting with dimensional travel (or teleportation) but when they activated it, in classic Aperture style, it went horribly wrong and ended up "Vanishing" So the one in Half Life 2 is either where it ended up after teleporting, or is an alternate dimension one that ended up there (from a very similar dimension) I think teleportation is more likely, since they A) are already using portal technology, and B) the thing that probably went wrong, is that all the organic life (the crew) aboard were killed, or completely destroyed during teleportation
The Gavin thing is definitely a reference, Me knowing nothing about the letter or anything, There is a TH-cam channel (Achievement Hunter) Who some of the American members did voice acting for RDR2, One (Jack) is the Hotel clerk at Valentine for example, "Gavin" is an English member of the Channel, Who obviously did not do any voice work for the game, And a running Theme/Joke with the TH-cam channel is whenever Gavin isn't in a video People are constantly asking "Where's Gavin" Because he's a fan favourite, Rockstar obviously would have known this while getting the other members to do Voice work and made a Easter Egg character expecting people to be asking why Gavin didn't have an in game character.
Out of curiosity, I wonder if Gavin or Nigel are in RDR 1? Maybe the answer isn't actually in RDR 2 itself? Also, the "Magenta Mystery" almost certainly has SOME sort of meaning. It may be almost "nothing" but not quite. It could be a dev's favorite color or an inside joke or something, pretty much meaningless to fans... but I'd be quite surprised if there wasn't SOME meaning, SOME REASON why it was put in the game. Edit: The final entry reminds me of Dark Sector being connected to the Warframe universe. If I remember right, it's a prequel from like 300 years before or something? You basically play a character that becomes an Excalibur. Which is interesting, because that's not how Warframes work. They're remotely piloted by Tenno. I don't remember if they're supposed to be organic at all or not... but how crazy would it be if you basically play a Tenno, remotely controlling an Excalibur, that just so happens to be the protagonist from Dark Sector?

Marathon is connected through an alternate reality that BEE once passed through during a slip space malfunction, that’s how it’s connected and the AI in halo CE the AI passed through a similar malfunction that BEE experienced
The fact that Cyberpunk: Edge runners revived the Cyberpunk community, it actually very relevant to the point where in-game mysteries have such a following and that only happens with a successful and well received game.
That doesn’t describe cyberpunk at all

You would just take some rando's word instead of forming your own opinion?
Speaking of connections between Halo and Destiny, there's obscure lore somewhere in Destiny 1 where Ghost spoke about trying to resurrect someone with a strong light (before he found our player character), but the dude said he just wanted to sleep, that his previous battles were enough for a thousand lifetimes. The warrior was implied to be John 117.
Also more obvious would be the addition of the Forerunner exotic weapon, which was heavily implied to be (and even looks a lot like) the Halo 1 pistol. The gunsmith even said that it was too big for a sidearm, like the person who used to wield it was massive, before he had to tinker with it and downsize it.
The cyberpunk one is a code to open a secret door.
As far as I'm concerned this is the Falcon channel with recurring guest.... the .... other guys
About Gavin: "The joke is apparently a reference to a Rockstar Games Developer who reportedly left the company in 2016 after expressing doubts in Red Dead Redemption 2. The joke is basically saying, where is Gavin after this extremely successful game was released."
Also multiple personality disorder
The Atari Mirai looks like either a follow up or prototype of the Atari XEGS.
In Fable there was a mystery that drove me nuts. After a quest, someone tells you “the blue nymph stands at a quarter past three.” (I think that was it lol) could never figure out what it meant though.
That'd interesting? Have you tried going back to that guy at a quarter past three real time, both AM or PM and see what he had to say next? I've only played Fable 2 & 3. Unfortunately never played the first one.
@@lonniedwayne9549 I tried that and many more things. I know that entire map very well. Wish a dev would give up the secret.
@@lonniedwayne9549 damn you are missing out on the best one
My theory for the Cyberpunk Magenta mystery:
Magenta is the primary color theme of the multiplayer since in the developers own words it's "Going to be a separate game"
My theory is that Gavin is an employee of the developer who somehow is never at his desk. Nigel represents all his co-workers during development “Where the heck is Gavin!?”
Low key hope the cyberpunk mystery doesn’t get solved till 2077 would be great
I personally think Gavin is just a fellow developer at Rockstar who is always missing when they need him. And we the player are just witnessing an inside joke meant for 1 person.
The magenta mystery... it's a developer note. Amounting to "Alan, please add details... no, wait... color."
I always assumed that Nigel and Gavin is a rockstar inside joke about a developer called Nigel who was looking for a guy at the company called Gavin who was always late and never around when you needed him.
Nice fanon.
I absolutely love videos like this, thanks Gameranx
The logic behind Magenta is that it's an impossible color that our minds made up because we couldn't handle that red and purple actually make green. See beyond magenta, and you'll have your answer.
Also Nigel dresses like the Joker.
After a long day of working it’s always nice to light up a j and watch some gameranx
👌
Damn that's basically like walking into another whole galaxy. Thanks gameranx for teasing our mind
Some of these are a really big reach to be classified as a mystery. Random lines of dialog from an NPC does not make a giant conspiracy.
The Majenta Secret is definitely "not nothing" CDPR has mentioned this one several times over in streams.
the Atari Mirai was the only console to ever let you play the REAL version of Polybius
We need more lists like this, please
Bungie has hinted at a sort of multiverse that spans their games, not as in the games take place in the same universe, but rather their own universes that are in some way connected, further hinted at when they released the 30th anniversary event in Destiny 2, where they implied that the Halo Magnum somehow made its way into the Destiny universe, and also with Mida Multitool, where it straight up is implied in lore that it's not from the universe the game takes place in.
Uhhh...Gavin IS Nigel. How tf do you guys not know this? The letter you find confirms this. Look into it more, and you just might feel silly afterwards.
Actually my theory is that NIGEL have 2 personalities and GAVIN is him in his 2nd personality. ^_- So basically Bungie had a one massive story and they split it in sections to create MARATHON / HALO / DESTINY . Cool. :)
I have always wondered what determine the color of eggs in RE4. Is it by a set percentage of chance? Do all color has equal or different chance? Can you somehow manipulate it to spawn gold more often? Because it is known that healing items drop from enemy more when Leon stay in low health. Also in the village does scaring the chicken help faster egg spawn or not to touch them. I need to know.
I'm going to have to call out that last one. First, Halo wasn't going to be a FPS game. It was going to be an RTS. Two, the Spartans were just going to be one of the upgraded units you could get in that RTS. And finally, it's pretty standard practice to take unused or underused ideas and themes from previous works and flesh them out for new ones. This honestly just sounds like they scavenged Marathon's unused character concepts and applied them to the new IP they were crunching their way through.
Falcon, my twin sister and I (fraternal) have our birthday a few days before Halloween. Would you give us a video discussing unique horrors of some variety? Unique horror games, or uniques concepts or monsters? Something involving horror and uniqueness.
Thanks for your suggestion

I like the Cyberpunk 2077 statue thing. Even though I have the game (haven't played it due to playing other games), I find it funny because I always sense that the answer is in plain sight or non existent at all to trick us gamers (wild goose chase).
I think you're right. Magenta is a color our mind makes up. It has no place on the electromagnetic spectrum. I think it's a good allegory for religion in Cyberpunk 2077.
@@Dilirium23 I gave it some more thought on this. Maybe it’s something us gamers have to figure out outside the game like using Command Line or Powershell. Then utilizing the results in the game for further code or function in game. I dunno it intrigued me last night but it could be nothing or something someone already came up with.
yeah but you know us gamers, something like this that seems like a goose chase just makes us think more and more that its a SUPER secret disguised as a goose chase
I've tested Games on the PS VITA back when i was with Sony. And that port was used as a USB input. Basically a Software in the PC would depend on that port to install/remove applications from the device.
Cool
1:44 As a game developer I would say the solution is this: The color code is the code that's used as a transparency color for scenes and models. For example, if you create a model with a material or texture, then import the model without it's associated material/texture into a game engine (esp. Unity), the model will appear in this color. When objects of this color appear in actual game play, the object is "ignored" for purposes of collision detection, display, and the like.
If the developers were pointing to something, though, I'm willing to bet that there are some invisible objects in the scene that may be affecting game play at or around the point. One trick a dev could do is have one of these invisible models trigger a script that changes something somewhere else in the game when the PC comes too close, as an example.
but that would mean to uncover whatever is being hidden we would need access to the engine files it was made with, and the engine there in... would it not?
then on top of that you would have to scour the whole game and all sequences within the game, top to bottom. changing all textures to this magenta color one by one to uncover the hidden secret. and even then, on something this massive of a scale. the possibility of overlooking what youre trying to find would still be tremendous.
fuck that part being impossible. how are we supposed to get into the game dev software and edit the game on a "developer" level!?!?! it isnt exactly like your average joe can click and drag the EXE into unreal engine and et-viola pursue this possible lead XD
much less have enough people to ensure that it dosent get missed on the first pass, because were basically talking about breaking into or heisting equipment from CD project red to do so
we use FF00FF for transparency

The Perfect Code honestly could just be an identifier for that specific run similar to how arcades let you put in your 3-character ID to show your run next to your high score.
Obviously conjecture but it's as good a thought as any.
Falcon: I love the energy in the recent videos. Keep it!
🦅⚡️
actually, nuclear fusion reactors have been around since the 80's, but since to this day they still cost more energy to run than you get out of it, it's still considered useless.
we're getting pretty close to the break even point though, the first viable fusion reactor may be in reach within this decade
For the "Magenta Code," I think it may be for a time and/or place. Just started up a game and wanted to load a save and it had a time stamp. The time was labeled 12:34:56. I have not played Steampunk 2077, but maybe the letters and numbers are also a correlation within the map (X:Y:Z) based on where the code is disabled.
However, I'm sure both have already been thought of before.
Steampunk💀💀💀💀
@@whatsgudcuh3602 good idea but if it does point to a time/place said date & location has yet to be uncovered. it would probably be decoded to a date and time @ (x, y,) of a sort. but how? we dont know lol

Detroit: Become Human has a mystery of Ra9 that was all over the place in some levels of the game, plus, was loosely tied to the narrative, but we still don’t know what or who Ra9 is.
I'd though Gavin was a giant cut from RDR2.
No. It's just a reference to a meme.
The Gavin thing is just a reference to Gavin Free from Rooster Teeth since he is never at the office and both Jack and Geoff are also in the game it's basically just a easter egg like how Cyberpunk has a bunch of streamers and youtubers in.
Lame eastee egg.
I saw a “cut content” video that shows a giant from a freak show that ran away because it had been bullied so much, that call itself Gavin. Perhaps it is the conclusion of Nigel’s quest that we never received
Edit: yeah I quit, spend a whole hour trying to find the damn video on my history, and nothing, it was months ago and the difficulty in finding information about it makes me question its validity.
you got the link?
yea u got a link?
that dudes named bertraim tho, right?
@@dylanwood2287 yep. It’s not Gavin.
It wasn’t cut content it was a side quest and you had to fight him in a bar. Then go find the little magician guy.
Ten Monopoly dollars that the guy looking for Gavin and calling out for Gavin all the time in RDR2 is a reference to Gavin from the Slowmo Guys and Achievement Hunter. Achievment Hunter had some easter eggs in both GTA:5 and...um...the RDR1 expansion that had the zombies in it that I can't think of the name of. Crap...
I’d prob buy a Nintendo switch if they made another Mario sunshine game, even with the glitches and bugs I still love that game.
Matter of fact I love the GameCube, bought it for resident evil games, Nintendo had an exclusive deal so RE games would only appear on GameCube, but I think Mario sunshine and Luigi’s mansion were the games I played most on GameCube
I actually did that lol got a switch literally just to get Mario 3D Allstars, which has Mario Sunshine 😁 beat it then gave it to my nephew lol

I always thought Nigel was looking for gavin like the play waiting for Godot.
It’s no longer a mystery or theory between Nigel/Gavin. It’s implied in the note (while John) that Nigel no longer have Gavin because he accomplished what he needed to. He needed Gavin in order to achieve what he has achieved and once achieved Gavin disappeared. Nigel is dependent upon that personality so he searches for him endlessly. We all know this. Nigel IS Gavin… Gavin will never be found. The note was addressed to Nigel but vaguely references Gavin.
Nigel is Gavin. Gavin is Nigel. Split personality
Devs putting some random number on statues and watching whole community go crazy after after it has to one of the greatest prank ever
I don't know much about Marathon or Halo lore, but from an outsiders perspective, sounds like it could just be easter eggs or developers taking a chance to make ideas they wanted to before but couldn't get them in in past games.
I could certainly be wrong, but tis what it looked like to me.
The cyberpunk mystery is easy, it's the reference to "dark light." In the chakra system the last 2 or 3rd eye and enlightenment are indigo and violet. Combined this creates magenta, cyberpunk is embracing the "shadow" or darkness looking outward.
"We're all chasing the same light, some chase it from the opposite end of the spectrum."
Well, as easy as it may sound, what solution does that lead to?
@@CanIHasThisName Figured it was just lore for cyberpunk monk culture that has a real world ideology. They didn't really ever explore the monk lore, sadly.
I remember trying to look all over for Gavin . No where to be found
0:55 as a Game Asset Designer myself id do something like this sometimes just to mess with people 😂

Thanks Tech Ranger! There is a Divergence AIO complete edition which has the base game with the all creation club content packed in one mod. Saw you had both mods separately, and thought you should know in case you didn’t.
Nigel has DID
My guess about the Borealis is that it was a ship experimenting with dimensional travel (or teleportation) but when they activated it, in classic Aperture style, it went horribly wrong and ended up "Vanishing"
So the one in Half Life 2 is either where it ended up after teleporting, or is an alternate dimension one that ended up there (from a very similar dimension)
I think teleportation is more likely, since they A) are already using portal technology, and B) the thing that probably went wrong, is that all the organic life (the crew) aboard were killed, or completely destroyed during teleportation
20 years later you are talking about the future by talking about the past.
(Mirai is Japanese for "future")
👍🏼
That's an esoteric way of describing this.
@@philithegamer8265 Esoteric enough where I certainly had to put that little translation note in.
The Gavin thing is definitely a reference, Me knowing nothing about the letter or anything, There is a TH-cam channel (Achievement Hunter) Who some of the American members did voice acting for RDR2, One (Jack) is the Hotel clerk at Valentine for example, "Gavin" is an English member of the Channel, Who obviously did not do any voice work for the game, And a running Theme/Joke with the TH-cam channel is whenever Gavin isn't in a video People are constantly asking "Where's Gavin" Because he's a fan favourite, Rockstar obviously would have known this while getting the other members to do Voice work and made a Easter Egg character expecting people to be asking why Gavin didn't have an in game character.
Cool reference
Out of curiosity, I wonder if Gavin or Nigel are in RDR 1? Maybe the answer isn't actually in RDR 2 itself?
Also, the "Magenta Mystery" almost certainly has SOME sort of meaning. It may be almost "nothing" but not quite. It could be a dev's favorite color or an inside joke or something, pretty much meaningless to fans... but I'd be quite surprised if there wasn't SOME meaning, SOME REASON why it was put in the game.
Edit: The final entry reminds me of Dark Sector being connected to the Warframe universe. If I remember right, it's a prequel from like 300 years before or something? You basically play a character that becomes an Excalibur. Which is interesting, because that's not how Warframes work. They're remotely piloted by Tenno. I don't remember if they're supposed to be organic at all or not... but how crazy would it be if you basically play a Tenno, remotely controlling an Excalibur, that just so happens to be the protagonist from Dark Sector?
You know the color magenta isnt a real color? It is what our mind interprets it as but it isnt really a thing. Maybe thats a clue?
The real mystery is falcon calling John Arthur when he’s talking about finding Gavin for the second time 😂 I just found it funny
