My favourite easter eggs are:
I remember playing through the first F.E.A.R. and noticing a coffee machine in an office kitchen. It had an unknown brand name on it so I checked it against the game's credits and it matched up with one of the game's artists.
My favourite, though, was playing through Deus Ex: Human Revolution and finding three sea shells on the wall next to a toilet.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoThere are a lot more well known easter eggs in games of that era, especially in games by id software where staff would put each other's pics in hidden places in the game. Came from a time when games were a product of passion of a few, and not of a soulless corporation. But that's still alive in indie games today. Check out the games developed by "New Blood Interactive" for example Dusk, it's full of throwbacks and memes to classic games from the '90's. You can find them on Steam or at https://waste.money/ https://waste.money/

- whizzter 3y agoIt's all fun and games until you leave a literal sex-game(1) in there prompting geriatric lawmakers(2) to get into the action (3). (And yes, I've worked in games myself so I 100% see the reason why they left it in disabled, iirc there is 2 or 3 levels with geometries but broken scripts included on disc in the largest game I worked on) (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_(minigame) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_(minigame) (2) https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/01/30/house-gets-younger-senate-gets-older-a-look-at-the-age-and-generation-of-lawmakers-in-the-118th-congress/ https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/01/30/house-get...

- sdflhasjd 3y agoAlthough in this case, it wasn't even an actual easter egg, just removed content still on the disc.
- JohnFen 3y agoYep, which makes them features rather than easter eggs. Easter eggs should be subversive and unapproved. It's a loss for sure, but at least they still appear in some indie games.
- exikyut 3y agoBeen trying to load that website for the past 24 hours, it keeps timing out :(
- TheRoque 3y agoCyberpunk also has the 3 sea shells reference
- rwmj 3y agoWhat is the significance of 3 sea shells?
- tech2 3y agoIt's a meme from the movie Demolition Man - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdnuOa7tDco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdnuOa7tDco
- omnibrain 3y agoIt's a reference to the 1993 Stallone Movie Demolition Man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_Man_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_Man_(film) A cop gets "frozen" as a punishment and when he gets reawoken the world has changed. Including the toilets. They now use 3 seashells instead of paper.
- theginger 3y agoHe doesn't know how to use the 3 sea shells hahahahahahaha. I can see how that could be confusing.
- mionhe 3y agoThis is the correct response.
- cris-ward 3y agoCyberpunk also has the red pill / blue pill and deja vu cat from the matrix.
- PawgerZ 3y agoA little fun fact about Cyberpunk for those who haven't played: Every quest in the game is named after an old song.
- iwontberude 3y agoAlso in fear is that red headed engineer with the giant RTFM belt buckle. Love that.
