The Batman one also wasn't discovered, it was a dev who shared it online after Arkham City already having been announced.
What still gets me is how stupid easy it was to do too. Like, we should've had that on figured out on our own haha
@@RenewedAuroraFr but it was in plain sight and we never though about it
I did it around the time when the game came out, didn't think anything of it for some reason.
To be fair, if I recall, the room didn't show up in the X-Ray vision so there was no indication to try anything on that specific wall and besides that, the wall required three uses of the batgel simultaneously to break which had not been a thing anywhere else in the game, usually one was enough. So the method required doing something seemingly random somewhere seemingly random. It doesn't surprise me people didn't find it fast enough.
A lot of people forget that Brutal Legend had probably the most misleading marketing of any major game up until that point. It was an era where you had to rely entirely on magazines and journalist websites to describe games to you, and whatever small trailers they decided to give these outlets. Up until release it was marketed as a Zelda knockoff with a metal skin, and indeed that's pretty much what the first hour is. About a third of the way through the game you find out it's more akin to Pikmin/RTS, which wasn't shown or talked about _at all_ leading up to its release.
Glad someone mentioned it. It was style over substance
Got it later in life and was heavily disappointed
The tune to activate the t-rex easter egg is "The Entertainer" most known fragment.
How’d you not mention the secret Super Punch Out Vs mode that took like 30 years to discover
because this is 12 easter eggs that took years to find not 3600
I think its too old to be still kinda relevant today for most people.
@@Not-TheOne It's an easter egg, on an easter egg focused channel, I think most people watching this video would find it relevant to the channel's content. Also I HATE the rhetoric that old = bad/non-relevant and it's an extremely immature mindset to have and guarantees you'll miss out on something you would've loved had you given it a chance.
@@Not-TheOne You clearly have never played the gameboy zelda games. Those are some of the best in the series
@@jokerofspades-xt3bs yes, I never did.
2:32 this zombies easter egg was only found because a modder decompiled the game and found the steps to the easter egg there. then did it in game and found them.
He is the same modder who found the very hard to do easter egg in BO4's werewolf map about vases. I don't remember this one all that much
I need to watch videos more before commenting... legit 2:36 you said this
Definitely discovered the spiderman EE 22 years ago as a kid who had nothing better to do.
You can find that exact same picture of the spider man devs in the first mission of the game in an identical looking asset on a rooftop.
I don’t think that’s true, I don’t recall seeing the picture anywhere else in the game. I discovered the dev picture myself when I was a kid. I believe the door on the rooftop swims open if you spend at least 2 minutes and ten seconds in the level.
@@tundooriI remember finding it as a kid and we never played any of the time trials, my memory is definitely blurry but I know it’s there.
Brutal Legend is a metal game
That's why it didn't 'take off' I feel
But I absolutely loved it growing up
I think part of it is just that a lot of Double Fine's games are really well made, but they're all a bit weird and as a result they don't get the recognition they deserve at the time. Some become cult classics though like Psychonauts and Brutal Legend because the people who played them know how good they were and talk about it.
Being a metal head, I’d have loved to play brutal legends
I always love seeing you mentioned about the Last of Us easter eggs, because when I first saw the post by IGN (or from another source, probably a guy from Twitter, as they tends to take sources from social medias), I always felt weird how wild it feels when they told it, while us being confused because some of us had been seeing it in your channel like a year before they covered it
@Captain Eggcellent
For the Last of Us Easter egg, That's an upside down screen shot of a bullet ant affected with the cordycepts fungus in an episode of BBC's Planet Earth. It was the very inspiration of the infected in this game.
CZcams Channel: Playstation
Video: Grounded: The Making of Last of Us
Time Stamp: 13:27 (mentions of inspiration from BBC Planet Earth)
CZcams Channel: BBC Earth
Video: Attack of the Killer Fungi | Planet Earth | BBC Earth
Time Stamp: 0:23-0:24 (screen shot in those frames that was used in the easter egg)
I recalled Neil Druckman mentioning this in the making of and i recocognized that ant still as it seemed awfully familiar. lol
I hope that brings this easter egg to total light. If already explained somewhere, whooops I didnt know.
The fact that the hammer in bo2 says you're not worthy makes me believe there is some sort of events you can do to be deemed worthy
I remember one way you can do it.
If I remember, it was to do the stealth again but on the hardest difficulty.
@@TheWolverinecool23 Annnnd? What happens?
@takoshihitsamaru4675 you hold the hammer and it acts like Thors' hammer.
Edit: I guess I had a false memory then. I remember holding the hammer but I guess not
@@TheWolverinecool23 And there's footage of this?
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 I had to edit my comment, I guess I was having a Mandela effect
The black ops 2 Easter egg also gives you infinite ammo for the crossbow.
1:26 Why is the picture in the Reddit post different from the one you found? Did they include a different picture depending on what console you played it on or something?
Yeah that was from the pc version so I’m guessing that’s the team that ported it over
There's a cool easter egg in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze in a swimming level named Amyss Abyss where after reaching a certain area, you then have to go back and a Metroid will pop up swimming upwards in the background. Apparently it took four and a half years to be discovered.
Slippy Slides explained 3 years ago that the ant from "the last of us" is most likely a placeholder or shader test image
As far as I knew, I was the founder of that "easter egg" as I'm the one who found it 7 years later in 2020, which is what caused it to blow up. Kinda sad someone else actually discovered it atleast a year prior to me, but regardless, I'm the one that made it very widely know. That being said, though, I can confirm it wasn't an EE, it was actually a glitch. The NDA crew member who put it there was simply using it as a placeholder (as you mentioned) for the female broadcast lady. As for why those specific steps triggers the ant to take over the TV, I, nor the dev who put it there don't know
The Thor Hammer Easter Egg in BO2 also had a reward, which was unlimited explosives for the rest of the mission
More entries like this please? Or maybe shortest Easter egg discoveries?
I have some hidden details from dead rising 3 for you: in dead rising 3 if you select bad costumes with Rhonda (Bull costume, shark costume, mariachi outfit, Hawaiian outfit, etc), she will say "not so good hon" "uhh try again?" Something you wouldn't hear on the regular. Here's a second one, if wearing the mega man X suit while walking or running, the costume will make robotic stomp noises as, I'm guessing a nod to mega man? And here's another one, if you keep curb stomping a zombie nick will get furious (like a bunch of voice lines I can't keep track of.)And another one from the clothes locker, if you go afk with Rhonda (again) she will tell you to stop spacing out and I find it hilarious. so PLEASE see this it took me ages to find these.
I'm pretty sure it was discovered that you don't actually need to do any of those steps for the last of us easter egg. You just need to get far enough in the prologue then reload the save. That is assuming it is an easter egg in the first place, the game director indicated it was a default shader test that get triggered by a bug rather than being an intentionally place thing.
There's also a pic of I'm assuming the Naughty Dog devs hidden in Jak 2 that took years to find.
brutal legend was my ENTIRE childhood come into one game and i loved it
I would love to play that Simpsons Hit and Run remake a solo dev created. Sadly will never be released.
As a Metalhead I love Brutal Legend 🤘
Do you know any other Easter eggs?
I'm not even a metalhead but for years ive been thinking about giving that game a try. It kinda reminds me of the days of Fable, Beyond Good & Evil from a design standpoint.
@@otdreamer193 Damn Fable that's brings back memories 😆
10:52 It's Cordyceps, not quadraceps🤣🤣 I'm dying over here.
in the new goat simulator dlc you can get clank by getting all lost relics
GOW3 predict Eren's final form. 😂
That Spider-Man Easter egg had a completely different imagine in the forum you referenced to the one you got.
as a fan of hit and run its a great game and the futurerama game is so much fun too
You don’t need to change the piano sound in pvz to get the Dino to appear, and the notes you play are the beginning of The Entertainer by Scott joplin. If you play it with normal piano you actually hear more of the song when the Dino appears. Such a specifically weird EE
Why the spiderman has a big head in the video? 0:54
I was using the big head mode cheat
@CaptainEggcellent maybe that's what triggered the door opening. Or attempting to open it multiple times
@@chipdouglas2430 na cause when I tried again I was still using the cheat and it didn’t work.
@@CaptainEggcellentI remember finding that dev picture when I was a kid. I believe you have to spend a little over 2 minutes in the level for that door to automatically open.
@CaptainEggcellent my guess would be the other assets on the roof exploded, maybe that's the trigger.
Man was honestly kinda hoping the WaveRace easter egg involved a hidden sea monster like in Splashdown.
not sure if its a manddela effect, but i swear i saw that batman room when i was hunting riddler trophies back on x360 around its release
There are some similar secrets that are easier to find, including one you have to find to finish the Riddler quest. It involves some writing on the floor (and I think on the walls) indicating Sharp's mental breakdown & secret motives, which get further elaborated on in the sequel. I think there might also be blueprints near a gas bomb on a wall in the room where you fight two titans. And if I remember right, the secret boat room in Akrham City is similar too.
They might've just programmed Homer to track the beat of the music currently playing so if something like lag or pausing too much caused the the music to desync with him him, he'd adjust, even if they expected it to always be the same music.
Similarly, in Undertale & Undertale Yellow, if you do pretty specific things in situations where music is slowed down, you can hear music slowed down that normally wouldn't be playing at the time anyway. Like if you're doing a genocide run in Undertale Yellow & you leave Mo's room & come back, he won't be there because he already left but if you go back in, his theme will start playing again for some reason but it'll be slowed down.
I always find that kind of thing neat though.
I played brutal legend for a good time (ever since I was 13 I'm 28 now) it's cool to see all those year's it have one
1:10 I remember finding this as a kid. thought it was neat and left it at that
8:04 i feel like there’s gotta be a way to become worthy to pick it up
We need a remake or remaster of the ps1 Spiderman games
I remember finding the dev team picture in spider-man when I was just 4. I’m 27 now. I didn’t know what I was doing back then and was confused to why I was looking at a photo of group of people in this random spot.
I only just realised Marcus phoenix is the same voice actor as bender how did that take me so long to notice
Seeing the playstation Spider Man game takes me back. I replayed that game so many times.
I used to play the demo over and over lol
I didn’t know there was a futurama game that looks so fun 😮
I believe that exact same photo in Brutal Legend was used as an easter egg in the black velvetopia or Lungfisholpolis level of Psychonauts. Iirc it is also one you have to turn the camera around to see the woman. Both done by Double Fine so not a huge leap
8:05 maybe you gotta go through the level more and then maybe pick it up. I have a feeling there’s more to it. Cuz you can customize your inventory yk.
I saw the Last of Us one the day the game came out. Didn't know it was supposed to be an Easter egg. I don't remember going back to the main menu either. I just remember going into Joel's room and that was the image on the television. I don't remember seeing the live news feed either, so maybe it glitched?
Did not know the Spider-man easter egg was that unknown. I've discovered it ages ago (like I was 12/3-ish? Am 33 now.) But I'm not one to make videos of anything or stuff like that either.
Nor did I manage to figure out what triggered it, but I do feel it was time sensitive. Considering where it is at.
The die eisendrach Easter egg was only for his wife (for either her birthday or Valentine’s Day I think, I’m pretty sure Valentine’s Day) that’s why it’s so complicated and random, so no normal player would come across it
The hit and run one might be a glitch. I can totally see the developers making something to animate to a music track automatically rather than doing it manually
i loved the ps1 spider-man game
1:27 he may have discussed the location.. but the picture found is a different one.. surprised you didnt mention that
The first time i played gears 3 me and a buddy did couch co-op and he spotted one of the coins. We figured it out and shot all the coins and did the easter egg. Im surprised so many people had no idea.
I remember finding the picture on Spiderman when I was a kid and literally thought nothing of it and never shared about it considering I was a child and didn't know about easter eggs and such.
This video is a little late itself as someone yesterday just discovered an Easter egg in Life Is Strange that hasn’t been found for 9 years!
was the spiderman easter egg really just discovered not too long ago? Because I remember that image. I was a kid when i saw it and thought it was a random image of some people. Little did I know it was the development team. I thought people knew of it.
I LOVE these videos. But I imagine it keeps getting harder and harder to make them
The ant image in the last of us has a mushroom coming out of its head…which is the final stage of that ants life with that fungus, it doesn’t need to be confirm or denied when it literally is what you said it was lol
Just seen a clip from brutal lengends love that game man😂
I generally have easter eggs in my games and a lot of them haven't been found... There are ones in Jungle & Urban Strike that I don't think people have found, as well as in Strider 2014.
10:50 "...the real life cordryceps fungus is known to infect ants..."
Sounds liek they need some disinfect-ants.
Funfact about Futurama they have find the easter egg very soon by clipping through with the camera
and many thought was an unfinished easter egg
LOVED BRUTAL LEGEND
Those tan pustules, coming out of the long whiteish “cord” on the ants head in the last of us Easter egg is the Cordyceps fungus itself. It’s a complete picture of an ant post mortem with final stage infection. The picture itself is confirmation.
Joker even made a reference about blowing up a billionaire's mansion. It's probably just a coincidence though.
Someone needs to do a futuramaXcyberpunk game
People knew the black ops 2 thors hammer Easter egg a long time ago, I watched the ign video about it and in the comments one of them is from 11 years ago saying that you can get the not worthy message
Thanks for the videos!
Holy shit I didn’t know about the Thors hammer Easter egg in bo2 I mean I did but not that you could pick it up I still remember being a kid and me and my friends would try to do something with the hammer we tried so many things I remember looking up if you could do anything with it and NO ONE knew what to do we all thought it was just a nice little Easter egg this video genuinely got to me a little just remembered being a kid and playing bo2 trying to get the hammer
Maybe with the spider man one it has to do with timing. You were basically 1 minute in. is that a really long time for the trial? Are you expected to be well past that point by that time?
Commenting before I watch if the Arkham asylum Easter egg is shown imma tweak, I’m tweakinggg😭😭👽
I played the spiderman games for YEARS!
10:51 It's the _Cordyceps_ fungus. Quadriceps is a muscle-the big one on the front of your leg, opposite the hamstring. Jsyk 🙃
*Edit:* In the game, the infection is called "Cordyceps Brain Infection (CBI)" in a collectible medical pamphlet. So it is confirmed that the apocalypse is canonically caused by Cordyceps. The Last of Us pt. 1, "Museum" section of the third chapter, "The Outskirts."
"The Cordyceps mushroom is a parasitic fungi that can take over a host's mind and alter its behavior. Until recently it has only affected insects and some arthropods. A new species has emerged with he ability to target human hosts." ~ Centers for Disease Control [In Universe]
I haven't watched the HBO Max series yet personally, but I've also heard that they've expanded upon this explanation in the diegesis of the franchise.
Anyways, it's obviously still not confirmed that *this* is the explanation for the ant TV easter egg. But it's worth mentioning that the Cordyceps connection is confirmed.
Have you ever covered aliens colonial marines Easter eggs
Is it just me or does anyone else remember being able to use thors hammer I have like a vague memory of being able to use it??? I’m obviously not completely sure but I feel like I actually got to use it. Idk just feels weird to me that you can’t use it
How is Simpson’s “fist pumping” glitching animation an Easter egg🧐
I still wanna know whats under mt chillad
Did you notice that in the Spiderman pic, it's a different picture from your recording than from the pic posted on Discord where it was posted first?
The picture on discord is from the PC version, I was playing the ps1 version
You can actually see the fungus grow out of the ant in the picture.
Pls try to find easter eggs in Madness Project Nexus 2
Best easter egg Hunter (lets everyone know about the Easter eggs we would otherwise never know)
Captain Egg. with another banger, clearly the Easter egg goat!
I thought that last one was Ozma from FF9.
Last of us easter egg makes sense and it's cool they added it.
Avengers came out May of 2012 and Thor 2011 could’ve been a Easter egg about that from a marvel fan at treyarch 🤔
Matt Groening games Easter eggs are hard to find 💀
What about the last Doom easter egg that took what 22 years?
Best easter egg channal
Funwithguru exists
@@scradzeen sorry i meant for me i never knew about this one but i will look in to it👍
true
Oddheader & FunWithGuru are the best by far
@spark556 captain eggcel3nt still up there they are the big 3 of easter egg hunting
Don't worry you don't "need" timestamps my dude.😂. Good video. True gamers will be interested in the EE regardless of game. Some people are just hating I guess
Captain I want to tell you about a game detail and it’s from the killer bean game there is a odd to cyberpunk in the trailer
I dont really cover trailers, but I cannot wait for Killer Bean
You know what hasn't been discovered yet? That damned 3rd meteroite..
Or their point for existing. $30 ?
didn't you already made this video a couple of years back?
Nope
@@CaptainEggcellent sorry I got confused with Oddheader, you're both great tho
@@ilcattiveria6008 Oh, I was wondering why the concept was so familiar. I'm subscribed to both of them. I think I also read a Cracked article with the same topic though. It makes sense a lot of people who talk about stuff like this would eventually think to do this topic.
1:27 - That's a different photo to the one you found...?
That photo is from the PC version, I was playing the PS1 version
Na that gears 3 Easter egg was known between me and my buddies the week the game came out
Really?!?! The black ops Thor's hammer was there for more than 12 years.
And just now you found out it can get electric and iteractable, trying to pick it up tells you that you are not worthy... And then you act like thats it... Wtf bro! I will bet my life that there's more to it
How does someone think to do all of that in a COD Zombies map? That's a lot of specific steps, how did the figure all that out?
It was found in the games files, I honestly dont think it would have been discovered any other way
@@CaptainEggcellent How do they figure out the triggers? Like is it all in the files too or do they just guess?
"EE that take years to find" "this one was found in less than a year, but it was so cool i had to include it" whats the point then?
What Easter egg?
he do be like that sometimes
It was found 8 months after release, which is still a long time, but I get your point haha
Not sure if it’s worth a complaint but hey
well, it did take us years to figure this easter egg out, but i kinda agree with you on this
eggs
How did he nor nobody notice the Spider-Man ps1 photo was different in the older picture found by someone else as he shows. They’re literally different 😮
Loads of people noticed and I replied to them haha
@@CaptainEggcellent I probably could’ve invested more into reading comments, just was shocked when I saw it was different 😅 but hey that’s why we watch movies and play games more than once for aye 😂
