Bearbeiten von „Movie-Based Video Game Easter Eggs“

<br><br><br><br>The term Easter egg-- or a joke or message hidden within a video game-- originated from the 1979 Atari game Adventure . Atari did not allow their developers to display their names during the end credits of a game because they feared competitors would recruit and steal away these employees. <br><br><br>However, Warren Robinnett, the developer of Adventure, didn’t agree and felt that his name should be known. So, he surreptitiously hid the message " created by Warren Robinett " in the game. <br><br><br>Robinett didn’t tell anyone about his hidden message and it wasn’t actually found until he left the company. Shortly after his departure from Atari, a player wrote to the company detailing what he found. <br><br><br>Although management originally wanted to reprogram and release a different version of the game without the message, Steve Wright, the Director of Software Development at the time, not only wanted to keep Robinnett’s name in the game, but also to incorporate these special Easter eggs in other games. Thus, Easter eggs were born. <br><br><br>Now Easter eggs are expected in video games and have become a challenge and a reward for players to find. They are no longer just a developer’s name, but range from all types of references to include books, movies, games, and pop culture. <br><br><br>This list will focus on video game Easter eggs that revolve around movie references. So, pick up your basket and get ready for a hunt. <br><br><br>Here are 20 Movie-Based Video Game Easter Eggs You Never Noticed . <br><br><br>**20. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Smeagol’s Note &amp; Tyrion Lannister’s Dead Body **<br><br><br><br><br><br>In the Blood and Wine expansion pack, there is a note from Smigole Serkis about losing a " most precious spoon. " Smigole clearly references Smeagol from The Lord of the Rings , while Serkis is a reference to Andy Serkis, the actor who played him. The note can be found in Touissant, where you come across a bloody scene and a broken carriage. Search the dead body and you will find the precious note. <br><br><br>Another Easter egg that can be found in Witcher 3 is the dead body of Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones . To find him, go to the Skellige Isles and sail to Prison Island. On your map, it will be to the left of Ard Skellig. Follow the main road until you reach the prison Kaer Almhult and enter the dungeon through the courtyard. <br><br><br>You will need to find a key that unlocks the middle cell in the prison, where you will find a dead dwarf. On examination, Geralt will say " sky cells. Nice idea for a prison without bars. Shame he didn’t know how to fly. " This refers to season 1's episode 6 , where Lady Lysa Arryn throws Tyrion in a sky cell. <br><br><br>**19. Overwatch – Items from The Thing **<br><br><br><br><br><br>Overwatch is filled with movie references from The Terminator to Frozen , but one you may not have noticed is the reference to the 1982 film The Thing . <br><br><br>Ecopoint: Antarctica, an arcade mode map within Overwatch, is a research station much like the one in The Thing . The station’s research team once included six members, whose names are listed on cryogenic pods in the game. One of the pods, is labelled Macready with an American flag on it. The name Macready is the same name as the American pilot and star of The Thing.<br><br><br>In the crew’s quarters there is also a game of chess displayed on the computer monitor, with a bottle next to it. This is a reference to a scene in The Thing where Macready, played by Kurt Russell, loses virtual chess to the computer and pours whiskey into its disk drive. <br><br><br>These Easter eggs have convinced some players that Mei, the sole survivor from her team, is actually the Thing from the 1982 film. In the left side corridor of the left spawn room, you can look through a window and see the same ice block that the Thing thawed out of. Coincidence? <br><br><br>18. **Fallout 4 Expansion Packs – Adventureland Reference and Titanic Scene **<br><br><br><br><br><br>In Fallout 4: Nuka World , there is a small games booth in Dry Rock Gulch called "Bandit Roundup." Hop behind the booth and you’ll find a skeleton wearing a dress at a table. Beside the skeleton, there is a tape labelled "Kristy’s Holotape." <br><br><br>Play it and you’ll hear a woman’s voice saying " The new guy gave up one of the small Cowboy Kappy plushies yesterday, so Andre fired him. Now he wants me to rig the game even more. I told him if I kept tweaking it people are going to know, but he doesn't give a shit as usual. Least it wasn't the giant Sheriff Nuka plush ." <br><br><br>This is a reference to Adventureland when Jesse Eisenberg’s character is forced to give away a giant panda plushie at knifepoint and Kristen Stewart (Kristy) tells him that, if it sucks, he’s going to get fired. <br><br><br>Also, near "The Nucleus" in Fallout 4: Far Harbor , there is a door in the water with two skeletons. One is on top of the door, while the other is in the water holding on. This represents the iconic scene where Jack and Rose hang on for dear life after the Titanic sinks. <br><br><br>17.

For Honor – Monty Python and the Holy Grail Reference **<br><br><br><br><br><br>In the multiplayer "Citadel Gate" map in For Honor , there is a sneaky little reference to the hilarious classic movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail . <br><br><br>Directly behind the attacker’s spawn point, a little off the map, there will be a pile of logs blocking your path. <br><br><br>Just beyond these logs, you will see a dead knight dressed in black armor, missing its arms and legs.

Apparently, it’s " only a flesh wound ." However now, the esteemed knight has no arms and legs left. <br><br><br>**15. Aliens: Colonial Marines – Dancing Alien from Spaceballs **<br><br><br><br><br><br>Spaceballs was a spoof of Aliens , but the Aliens video game got its revenge and spoofed the spoof. A year after the release of Aliens , the movie Spaceballs spoofed the iconic scene of the chest-bursting alien. However, in their version, the alien busts out, grabs a top hat and cane, and dances to "Hello, My Baby" .<br><br><br>In Chapter 7 of Aliens Colonial Marines, you can find the video game’s spoof of the spoof.

In this room, there will be aliens wearing the cane and hat in the window right in front of you. <br><br><br>**14. Stardew Valley – Turnip Head from Howl’s Moving Castle **<br><br><br><br><br><br>In Stardew Valley , scarecrows prevent crows from eating crops, just like in real life.

His style is a big influence for me. I try to take my favorite things from all over the place and blend them together in my own way." <br><br><br>The Dust Sprites found in levels 40-79 are also thought to be references to the Soot Sprites from Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro .<br><br><br>13. Aragami – **Mulan ’s Training Scene **<br><br><br><br><br><br>In Chapter 7: "Kyruyu," Aragami pays tribute to one of the best Disney films ever created. Simply follow the following steps to find the dark side of the moon, a great Mulan Easter egg. <br><br><br>In the beginning of the chapter, make your way past the graveyard and go across the bridge. Continue straight until you see the bright blue orb, then turn left. <br><br><br>When you see the tower in front of you, look up and you’ll find the arrow under the mysterious dark side of the moon. <br><br><br>This represents the memorable training scene in Mulan when Shang shoots an arrow at a tower and tells his recruits to retrieve it. <br><br><br>The scene then leads into the iconic song "I’ll Make a Man Out of You ", where the image of the arrow and tower are backdropped against the glowing moon in the night sky.
