Easter Eggs?

[Sabrak]

Wikipedia: "A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message, in-joke, or feature in a work such as a computer program, web page, video game, movie, book, or crossword."

So, I saw that tweet from Higby...

@mhigby
I wish I could figure out how these three shells work. yfrog.com/nychifyj


This is probably just Higby joking about it reminding him of the movie "Demolition Man".

But then, I thought that PS2 will be a big game (in maps size), and that this kind of game is perfect for Easter Eggs.
Just look at Fallout games (1, 2, 3, NV), or the Elder's Scrolls serie, for exemple.

So...
Do you think there will be some kind of easter eggs in the game?
Or would you like to see some, well hidden?
Got suggestions on what they could be like?


Personally, I could totally see the old corpse of a man with a Halo armor/helmet, like to say "PS2 kicks Halo's ass".
Or the skull of what would look like Ridley Scott's Alien.

Easter eggs aren't easter eggs if we know about them in advance. :P

Well true.
But we don't actually know

I was just wondering if it'd be welcomed in the game (some people might think it breaks immersion), and I thought you guys could come up with some funny stuff too

Just Ridley will do. :P

In all seriousness though, the previous PS game had easter eggs in the form of landscape architecture. For instance a little Stonehenge-like site and the Oshur fossil bird. SWG, EQ and DCUO easter eggs? Could be, there's bound to be devs that worked on those games. :P

Beyond that? Who knows, but doubt there's too obvious things that would be too obviously related to a trademarked property.

let there be a computerterminal somewhere in a hard to reach totally useless bunker on the edge of the map that shows a screenshot of the PSU site! or if the devs are really cool, make it show the actual psu frontpage with the actual news on it ;-)

landscape eastereggs are cool, too. like something that is hidden in the terrain in such a big scale, you can only notice it when you are flying very high in a plane. like those reallife animal figures in peru. you know, the easter egg, our dev left when he modeled our earth.

Higby's mustache or Josh's soul-ripping gaze any day. Lol =)

^I better be able to select Higby's beard and Josh's eye gaze in the character selection screen!

The landscape Easter-eggs were cool. Hopefully there are a few in PS2, or things to remind us of PS1.

This cracked me up Hat off to you sir.

Easter egg: Crashed and decaying ruins of an old AMS in a little ravine somewhere

Lets get a list down!

A miniature PS1 base somewhere, build out of sand, the usual thing a kid would do.
A crashed AMS somewhere
a screen somewhere showing PSU
a bust showing Hammas face
a half burried , open chest with a MCG in it, and the chest has written on it: "Deliver to Bags"
A large bottle, having written "dukes finest" on it
A small statue of a TR, with Graywolves written on it
And obviously something for me. <3



DO IT!
