Easter eggs, generally refers to those details that are not easy to detect in film and television, has the effect of enhancing the interest of the work, this technique, in the field of games is also widely used, when we are familiar with arcade games, in fact, there are a lot of interesting Easter eggs, for example, snk's many games have a lot of movie eggs that make people laugh.
The classic fighting game "Samurai Shodown 2", in the scene of the home of the Fire Phantom Temple, Ghost Cry Island, there is a cauldron with boiled bones, although this scene has been seen countless times, but when I was a child, I did not find that in addition to the bones in the pot, there was even an alien that was boiled to the taste... Unexpectedly, even the alien with tenacious vitality has become the fruit of the phantom temple, and it seems that the guy is the top of the food chain.
In addition, if the player meets the conditions in the process of strategy, Kuroko as a referee will appear as an opponent, and the character of Kuroko can not only use the moves of most of the characters in "Fist of the Dragon tiger" and "Legend of the Hungry Wolf", but even the theme scene is full of various movie Easter eggs.
For example, the scene counts the second hanging picture from the left, based on one of the pages of the key item "Book of the Dead" in the classic horror movie "Ghost Playman".
And there is a red plaque at the top of the scene, usually in the game will be blocked by the timer can not see the above text, in fact, this plaque is written "redrum", this text seems to be unknown, but friends who have watched the horror movie "The Shining" know that its source is the text written by the little boy Danny on the door of the room in the movie, and the text is read upside down, which becomes "murder", which can be described as extremely frightening!
In addition, the fourth level map of "Metal Slug x" is a Chinese-style scene filled with a large number of Chinese slogans and shop signs, and the words "Peace Hotel" and "Eight Immortals Hotel" are posted in front of one of the restaurants! I believe that only friends who are a little older will have heard or seen these two movies.
"Metal Slug 2" in the fourth level of a "camera 2" movie poster, to the enhanced version of "Metal Slug x" became "camera 3", from the picture point of view camera 2 should be a Hollywood blockbuster, camera 3 is obviously a Chinese martial arts film, unfortunately these two posters pay tribute to which movie, IMHO there is no way to examine, personally think that camera 3 tribute may be Jet Li or Jackie Chan in a movie before 1999, if you know, you can leave a message to me!
One of the most well-known movie easter eggs in Metal Slug 2 is the final boss big flying saucer at the end of the level, and just as the flying saucer is about to launch a laser to deliver a fatal blow to the earth, a creep fearlessly pilots the fighter jet into the flying saucer and destroys it.
This scene is a tribute to the famous film "Independence Day" directed by Roland in 1996, and the picture and bridge section are the same, which makes people's blood boil!
If there is an avid movie lover among the SNK designers, then Capcom, who also likes to hide private goods, can be said to be playing a terrier maniac.
As we all know, many ip of Capcom have been adapted into movies, and in its games, there are also many film and television Easter eggs, of which the "Resident Evil" series can be said to be an Easter egg broadcast.
The first is that the word "redrum" is written on the wall of a scene in the police station of Resident Evil 2, and this detail is also derived from the movie "The Shining", as mentioned above.
There is a tattered yellow-green car parked somewhere in the raccoon city, which is actually the hero of the British comedy "Mr. Bean" mr. Bean's car rover mini cooper, which was quite popular in the UK in the 80s and 90s
There are also some movie Easter eggs because the ps era is relatively rough picture quality, so it is more difficult to recognize at first glance, such as a blurry photo posted on the office board of Rebecca's office in the police station, and the sharp-eyed god on the Internet can see at a glance that this is a photo of the protagonists of the movie "Back to the Future 3"! "Back to the Future" series of governors watched 1-3 films on the Pearl Terrace that year, which is also the enlightenment work of falling in love with the theme of time travel!
The dilapidated white sedan outside the resident Evil 3 gas station is the delorean dmc-12 sports car, the time machine in Back to the Future.
In addition, there are also many photos posted on the walls of the gas station, which contains film stills of "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Gambler Ma Huali", "Bonnie and Joan", and "Mama's Sky", all four of which are 90s movies, and I believe that people who have seen it are now 5 years old!
"Resident Evil 6" has a plot that takes place in the Chinese scene, the classic signature elements and psoriasis advertising has been seen strangely, but when I see this "Liang Che" poster, I still can't help but smile, this is undoubtedly Zhen Zidan's starring "Ip Man", even the action is exactly the same.
Of course, the homage to implanting movie easter eggs in the game is common in many works, such as "gta5" pays tribute to "Old Nothing", "Rogue Line", "Back to the Future"; "The Last Survivor 2" pays tribute to "Princess Mononoke" and "Jurassic Park"; "Borderlands" pays tribute to "Lord of the Rings"; "Overwatch" buries the easter eggs of dozens of movies such as "Mad Max", "The Matrix", "Tombstone Town" and so on.
However, compared to other manufacturers, capcom's strength is not in the ability to play terriers, but in the vast majority of its own products, as long as you have played the "Resident Evil" series of players, you will inexplicably recognize other games under Capcom, and can't help but want to play, this implant advertising skills, really powerful!
For example, in the second scene of Resident Evil 2, the protagonist will come to the door of a store called arukas, and if the name of the store is written backwards, it will become sakura, which is the Japanese word "sakura", referring to the female high school fighter of the Street Fighter series - Kasugano Sakura! This big grinning little girl's fighting action is informal, and I remember that every time an arcade hall selected her, there would be a bunch of male players around her, waiting to see the welfare screen...
Similarly, in Resident Evil 3, players can also find another street fighter character's shop in the city, eagle's petshop, which may not be easy to think of at the time, but has become much more intuitive since Resident Evil 3 Remastered added a logo to the pet store.
Resident Evil 3 hospital, with a promotional poster for "Dinosaur Crisis", this game is considered to be a sister work of "Resident Evil", it is said that "Resident Evil" had too surreal settings and ideas to put into the game, it will be used in other projects to sew and develop into other new works, "Dinosaur Crisis" and "Devil May Cry" was born.
With the continuous improvement of technology, Capcom's behavior of "paying tribute to himself" has become more and more high-end, such as a "Willy Video Game Center" in the Chinese scene of "Resident Evil 6", which is estimated to be run by Dr. Willie, the villain of Mega Man.
Looking around, the main games in this arcade hall are "Wolf of the Battlefield", "Demon Village", "Sonson" and other classic games of the 80s, all produced by Capcom.
The latest game in the store, is 1994's "Demon Warrior", and 1996's "Star Fighter", are fighting games, it is estimated that many 80, 90 after the "Star Fighter" has no impression, after all, the domestic arcade hall rarely introduces this game, but "Demon Warrior" is super popular, and "Street Fighter", "World Heroes", "King of Fighters", "Blood Temple", "Samurai Shodown" and called the "five kings" of domestic fighting games.
However, in 2013 (the background of the "Resident Evil 6" era), the era of rapid evolution of the game industry, relying on only a few antique games to support the scene, it is estimated that the operation of this arcade must be very bleak, right?
By the time of Resident Evil 3 Remake, it can be said that the peak of this series has been ushered in, and the entire Raccoon City has become Capcom's exclusive implant advertising carnival!
There was a job advertisement posted in front of a store on the street, and when I looked closer, I found that it was written "frank east, photographer rental business", a detail that anyone who has played "Zombie Siege" knows that it is a metaphor for the protagonist Frank West.
In addition, a large number of posters were posted outside the subway station and the cinema, each poster has a stem, there are governors who know, there are also unknowns, I found a few of them to understand, the left side is the game poster, the right side is the provenance, share it with you. If that's not right, head right!
Let's start with a few movie-related ones:
Continue looking at the game Easter egg related:
In addition to a large number of poster eggs mixed with private goods, Capcom even blatantly opened a themed toy store in Raccoon City, which sold "Mega Man" toys! The most puzzling thing for the governor is that the sale is the American version of the mega man, does Capcom not know that the mega man of this shape is ugly? Isn't the Japanese version of Mega Man fragrant?
Obviously, easter eggs have no practical effect on gameplay, but a wonderful easter egg can enhance the connotation of the game, enrich the fun of the game, deepen the impression of the work, and flow to future generations, so that players can talk about it, even if it is like Capcom's blatant advertising, it is also enjoyable, and it is really hateful!
A similar example is the paralysis ring, which was originally just a pk piece of equipment in the online game "Legend of Blood", which can paralyze the opponent for 5 seconds to become famous. Unexpectedly, in 20 years, the paralysis ring has actually become a terrier for players to play, which really "thanks" to those who tirelessly squeeze out the remaining value of the paralysis ring page game!
Of course, in addition to the page game, "Demon Blade" as a "Diablo-like" mobile game, from the scene, values, brush equipment gameplay is not difficult to see the far-reaching experience of the producer's game qualifications, which can best reflect the "resentment" of being a senior player, is the paralyzing ring that makes people drop their jaws in the game.
Yes, there are also paralysis rings in The Blade of the Demon Abyss! Judging from the description text of the equipment, the producer's private goods are also possible, and they even spit out the advertising slogans of those demonic legendary games in the games they made.
Interestingly, this paralysis ring does not have any effect other than playing with the description of the stem, so how can it be revealed that this is a real paralysis ring? Could it be that this thing still has a hidden effect? It happened that I had opened the Legendary Treasure Map on the 24th floor of the Abyss of Difficulty before, and decisively washed the warrior with points into a mage to see if the numbing ring was wasted.
In the past, the biggest deficiency of the mage was the amount of blood and defense that was worrying, and the small calf of the 20th floor of the ordinary abyss touched it and said less than 7 or 80 blood, which was equivalent to a very large part of the total blood volume of the mage, and it was even more vulnerable to the difficult abyss, so even the strongest electric ball flow mage inevitably flipped over frequently, in the final analysis, the survivability was too low.
However, when I equipped the paralysis ring and used the large electric ball, I was surprised to find that after being hit by the electric ball, although the body was still moving, it could only be fixed in place!
I dragged more mobs to test, and it turned out that they were also stuck in place after being hit, and they couldn't get close! This discovery simply made me happy, to know that the swordsman who began to appear on the 21st floor not only had high damage, but also chased the player to the end of the world with super fast speed, and now with the hidden fixation effect of the paralyzing ring, it can only be played alive
Of course, good equipment is the main theme of "Blade of the Demon Abyss", but the player's operation and the exploration of the enemy's attack routine is also very important, such as the 25-layer boss Kurus can teleport and release the shadow ball to make the player's magic value brush brush soar, and even cast a super tricky black hole to suck the player in, in this one-on-one single boss situation, the significance of the operation is greater than the equipment, which also satisfies the pursuit of some players to challenge the difficulty.
Now many mobile games are a liver for several hours, or even a whole day, and "The Blade of the Magic Abyss" can be regarded as one of the more unusual, it will not use a lot of task rewards to bind players to complete the task, but let people in their spare time from time to time want to taste the fun of brushing treasure, players through the continuous challenge of the level at the same time, you can also experience the pursuit of the pleasure of the best equipment and random elements brought surprises. If you like this lightweight and fun roguelike game, then Blade of the Magic Abyss is probably one of the most worthwhile titles to play.
All right! Today's article is written here. Classic games are never outdated, strange games can be remembered for a lifetime, I am the game governor, we will see you next time!
