Easter Eggs?

Micki! · 06-22-2006, 03:02 PM

Yeah, Prey actually had some, which i guess we all expected...

Post the ones you found here...
Anyting you find suspicious, can be mentioned in here... You won't have to be completely sure...

[NOTE:]
If you don't want to get spoiled, and find them yourself, don't read the spoilers, i'm only mentioning what i've found, the spoilers contains the location (or the way) i got it...

These are from the Demo
(when the full version is ready, please re-use this thread regarding the spoilers)

- I found (as i assume you all did) the Rune game

Spoiler:

- Rune poster : Sex-line Spoiler:

- Directsong with Prey image Spoiler:

- George Broussard getting abducted by aliens...

Spoiler:

Joe Siegler · 06-22-2006, 03:50 PM

There's some really funny Art Bell humour in the full game, too.

Including one that.. Well, let's just say.. Nah - I can't. It's too good of a joke, and I can't think of a hint that doesn't immediately spoil it.

Damien_Azreal · 06-22-2006, 03:57 PM

Damn your teasing Joe.

I loved the Art Bell thing, George is running aroudn in the sphere... I want to help him escape! (maybe he would hook me up with a copy of DNF

)

Micki! · 06-22-2006, 04:02 PM

Haha, yeah, i was immediately thinking, if i'd actually met George, since he's been abducted to the sphere...

Anyways, i liked this one the most, and i hope Joe's right, about more Art Bell humour... Because i think it was very funny...
The voices sounded very convincing/lifelike, so that makes it even better imo...

George Broussard · 06-22-2006, 05:04 PM

The guy on the first Art Bell radio broadcast isn't me. It's actually Tim Gerritsen of Human Head

ZuljinRaynor · 06-22-2006, 05:09 PM

But it's your name...

Figured it wasn't you, voice didn't sound right. But it's the thought that counts.

Joe Siegler · 06-22-2006, 05:49 PM

Look through the credits, guys. The callers for the Art Bell things are in there.

ZuljinRaynor · 06-22-2006, 05:53 PM

Hmm... Joe's not in them.

Neptune · 06-22-2006, 06:06 PM

Yeah, when I first heard that phone call, my first thought was 'It's George!', followed by "So... that's what he sounds like." Darn you, George! You tricked us all!

I loved the writings on the bathroom walls. Looked real, almost!

Not the voice, but we all assumed 'George' was you

OnyxBMW · 06-22-2006, 11:26 PM

yeah, it was him I bet! Who else would be dumb enough to be chatting on a phone describing alien ships and taking pictures while they're abducting people? *cough*

Please tell me you people can detect sarcasm?

I kinda figured that, since the voive didn't sound much like you (compared to how it sounded at 1-up's interview with you)

Of course, that lessens the chance of us, actually meeting you in the game too... Since it isn't your voice...

DavoX · 06-23-2006, 11:40 AM

The interactivity in the bar and the arcades, a reference to DNF

Was I the only person who noticed the "my spoon is too big" grafitti in the toliets?

hiob · 06-23-2006, 12:12 PM

Yeah the strangest thing i found was in the toilet you start in there was a ?? how do you call it; it´s Fliese in german; you know this little plates on the wall i guess it´s called tile (correct me if i´m wrong).
well what i wanted to say is you could turn a tile on the wall and that seemed to be the whole purpose of the interaction with the tile.

Hehe, yeah, a taste of things to come.

I was really suprised, by the way. I didn't expect anything like this in Prey.

8IronBob · 06-23-2006, 01:37 PM

Same thing was true in Max Payne and MP2, you know that George made somewhat of an appearance in that as well, as maybe someone in the police force. Also, was that Duke in the toilet stall in MP2 telling you that he'd be out "When It's Done?"

Back on topic to Prey, tho. Yeah, tons of references and easter eggs in that game, too... I really can't fathom the fact that there's not one too many possibilities in that game, ANYWHERE! It's just too good of a demo to hold back. Just glad it's on a CD-R, and it won't be wiped away anytime soon. NOW BRING ON THE FULL GAME!!!

Which one exactly?

Acenoid · 06-23-2006, 05:37 PM

Soley registered to communicate this funny thing here which has not been found yet i think.

It's about a Forcefield.

Spoiler:

OnyxBMW · 06-23-2006, 05:42 PM

How many telephone conversations are there in the demo? I only remember seeing the one...

hiob · 06-24-2006, 05:39 AM

the tile is in the toilet room you start in where some tiles already have fallen of and one is not straight, that´s the one you can turn.

Weird.

I wonder who came up with such an idea.

BTW: With Leech gun, you can freeze your enemies. Another DN reference?

Micki! · 06-24-2006, 09:04 AM

Arrghhh...
People, please use Spoiler tags whenevre you mention where the possible easter egg can be found...

It's okay to know what it is about... But some people might want to find it themselves...

Thnkas for Acenoid for remembering though...

That is really funny...

Ivan · 06-24-2006, 09:58 AM

I think it's pretty clear that this part of the Prey forums is more likely to contain spoilers. I think Joe should write that in red letters in the description like he did for the Max Payne 2 forums. Just a thought..

Tang Lung · 06-24-2006, 10:30 AM

Not really an easteregg as such, but I loved the Viking sex line slogan

Micki! · 06-25-2006, 02:54 PM

Please guys, this is about easter eggs... Please create another thread about the portals, or continue it in the "Sense of scale - Smoke and mirrors" thread...

OnyxBMW · 06-25-2006, 03:11 PM

Micki! · 06-25-2006, 03:12 PM

So what's that a reference to? The only thing I know of with it is this Scatterplot comic. And while it would be interesting if that were the reference, it would also be somewhat surprising...

Here's what Google gives us..

OnyxBMW · 06-25-2006, 04:18 PM

"My spoon is too big" is actually a reference to a cartoon made by Don Hertzfeldt. It is basically about a stick figure who walked up to a cereal bowl with this giant spoon about 4 feet tall with a banana on the right side (with arms/legs).

The boy walks up, and says "My spoon is too big!" "My spoon is too big!"

Then the banana goes "I am a banana!" or something like that.

The cartoon is seen in the Rejected DVD. It's really funny if you've ever seen it.

EDITED since I forgot the size of the bowl.

In the upper left corner of the volume 1 DVD picture you can see a picture of the my spoon is too big sketch.

Edited again to add this small picture.

Just look at the first results, and see which cartoon comes the most often. I think OnyxBMW is sayng the true and the Google's results pretty much confirm it.

Acenoid · 06-25-2006, 04:26 PM

OnyxBMW:
Did you make up these translations or how did you do it?

OnyxBMW · 06-25-2006, 04:28 PM

I used the console to give me all the weapons in the game. It also gives you the spirit walk, so you can run up to the portals and talon flies out and projects the translated words in front of the screen.

They are not fake, and that is exactly what they say, and it's pretty cool.

Micki! · 06-26-2006, 05:30 AM

I think they're cool too... Thanks for keeping an eye open for these things Onyx...
