The 4th wall doesn't come from tv. In theatrical plays going back 2000 years there was a wall built off from the stage where an actor or narrator would address the audience directly.

[@smnr1579]

Dude hearing this was like a tad unnerving . Like are we forgetting history or what?

[@ThorsShadow]

Yeah this was SO fucking bad. How uneducated do you wanna be? These guys: "Yes, please!" And even if you don't know about this shit, AT LEAST do your damn research. It's not like they had to come up with that stuff quickly. They had time to look it up for the video. But I guess we live in the time where anyone can say anything, not matter how much bullshit they say. It's so sad. And don't get me wrong, please. I love gameranx, but they constantly get random shit so damn wrong when the correct answer was a 2 second google search away.

I was playing Stellar Blade, then my wife started talking to me, so of course I have to pay attention to what she has to say. The camera was near Eve's face. When my wife was done talking, I looked at Eve and I freaked out because she was literally looking at me. I moved the camera around, and her head started following the camera and continued to make eye contact for what felt like a whole minute! Scared the shxt outta me for a while. It felt like she's looking at me to ask who I was talking to and telling me to pay attention to her. 🤣

[@giosue_222]

So, Is your wife ok with the fact that you play stellar blade? Doesn't this bother she? 🤔

[@flatstheflounder338]

Alr guy, we get it, you have a wife and she lets you play waifu games, you could’ve just said that 🙄

[@-ninjanOodlez]

@giosue_222 Lol yeah she's okay with it because she understands that it's just a videogame and Eve is not a real woman. Imagine being so psychopathic that playing a girl in a videogame is considered cheating. 😅 But she actually thinks she's cool. She's into those girl bosses, so she likes Eve. She's not bothered by this game one bit.

[@-ninjanOodlez]

@flatstheflounder338 Lol. I promise you that real life waifus that support your hobbies 💯 exist. You just gotta know where to look.

Bonus: Reaching back into the snes days, there was a 4th wall break in Earthbound. Where the game inquired about the player, "you, the person holding the controller." Amazed me back then.

[@kellyshea92]

I gotta dig out my old 3DS and replay EarthBound.

The ‘Would You Kindly’ twist from Bioshock was an excellent 4th-wall break, when Andrew Ryan looks directly at you and simultaneously gives you and your character an existential crisis as he proves you’ll do anything you’re told.

[@michaelemmerson7760]

I love the twist in assassins creed where the goddess refers to desmond controlling ezio

[@MarijnRoorda]

The 4th wall break in Tomb Raider 2. She's about to hit the shower, bad guys show up, you get rid of em all, including your butler, using a shotgun, and then she returns to the shower, places down the shotgun, faces the camera, and asks: "Haven't you seen enough?" and grabs the shotgun once more and shoots you. The game finishes.

[@idkatl1]

Detroit Become Human did this so perfectly with the main menu of the game. Then when she says they have to test your controller and it vibrates kinda caught me off guard. Also in the end I'm not gonna spoil but that was insane!

Falcon, in the world of FF7 Remake/Rebirth, the victory jingle actually comes from a tango in their world. It’s a record you can collect in the first game. They all know it because it’s wildly popular.

[@ferd617]

Still, incorporating the music *you hear as **_soundtrack_* at the end of battles _into_ the game world itself... if it's not a fourth wall break, it's the largest lampshade ever. Of all time.

The thing about Alan Wake 2 is that Alex Casey isn't just a Max Payne look-a-like. He IS Max Payne. Remedy doean't own the IP so they had to rename him. The same goes for Warlin Door, who was Martin Hatch in the Remedy game Quantim Break. He was played by Lance Reddick, who was also intended to play Door an Alan Wake 2 prior to his passing.

One of my favorite 4th wall breaks is in Jak 3 whenever a character what's Jak's light stone or whatever and they make a quip and she just goes "this is not a game!" and Jak and Daxter look at the camera with confused expressions. It's not the greatest 4th wall break of all time, but it being subtle is what makes me remember it lol

If you haven't checked it out, the Deadpool game was great about this. It was so involved in breaking the 4th wall with the player you never learn the big bad's actual plan. It was incredibly well done.

[@megadarkrai]

That was probably why he did not include it in this video

[@mr.vanillamilkshake3]

Honourable mentions: Psycho Mantis reading your memory card in Metal Gear Solid, and the final boss fight in Bravely Second: End Layer.

[@jay3517]

Speaking of MGS, Meryl tells Snake to stop staring if you hold the camera on her.

[@MemeselfandI]

Literally old news, make a video. Don’t comment stupid shit in the comments.

[@mr.vanillamilkshake3]

Another bunch of honourable mentions: Psycho Mantis (attempting) to read your memory card in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and BB's antics in Fate/Grand Order's various events, not least the Fate/EXTRA CCC collab. I freely admit that I am most certainly dumb, but at least I don't insult, like so: "How DARE you! You didn't include Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid. YOU ARE THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL KZbinr EVER!!!!!!!" It doesn't matter if games like Metal Gear Solid were made in 1998. Those games are still relevant now, and will be relevant so long as we remember. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that I am entitled to shove errors down the throats of the undeserving; there is nothing wrong with a video that contains multiple moments of people noticing that there is an actual audience. And quite frankly, it's refreshing that there are other fourth-wall breaks being recognised; after all, there's only room from ten for a ranking, and variety is the spice of a content. In brief @MemeselfandI : Both mine and Gameranx's choices are equally correct, so I see no point in refuting him. I do, however, think that reckless paranoia is unhealthy. Get help.

[@CitoTontito]

Bonus games? In Jak 2, the old man mentions that "this isn't a game" or something like that then Jak and dax look right at the camera In street 3 football. One of the players lines after a play is "it's not me, it's the guy controlling me!"

[@benjaminnorris5540]

The moment is from Jak 3 and I'm pretty sure it was a young adult female monk. Though there was a scene in Jak 2 where Daxter was reading through a contract and got upset over the inclusion of "GAME RIGHTS!" complete with a close up of his indignation.

When my boy Geralt looked at me at the end of the blood and wine dlc…….

[@PikaLink91]

I had no idea about the one from Stellar Blade until it was pointed out to me, so when at one point I focused the camera on something close to Eve which registered as "looking at her" and thus activated this easteregg... if I didn't already know about it I'd probably shit my pants, cuz that is some terrifying Project Zero crap right there.

[@Skrill_72]

Not putting geralt as in the Witcher 3's blood & wine ending is a crime...

[@Darkman9000]

Infamous: Second Son has a somewhat subtle example. Once you 100% the game, getting both the good and evil endings and all the trophies, Delsin will say "You know what buddy. You and I have been through a lot, but I gotta tell you. Officially, we're done." after the credits have rolled and you're in the post-game for that playthrough. I believe a few other games have done that, making the player character "talk" to the player and congratulate them for fully beating the game. It's a cute little way to wrap up a game you spent so much time to complete.

I would put Monster Hunter World on here. In the Iceborne expansion you eventually fight a monster named Shara Ishvalda. The entire time you fight it, it isn't looking at the hunter. It's looking at the camera. At you. It's implied that a Shara Ishvalda can truly see your soul. And in this case, it's the person controlling the hunter, not the hunter themselves.

Hellblade 1. When Senua has one of her mental breakdowns, and turns right to the camera and asks you the player to help her. I had to put down the game at that point for a little bit. One of the most intense 4th wall breaks i've ever been a part of.

[@imjoeaf]

Ok, I'm going to be VERY pedantic right now (already realizing there will probably be minions who'll be stirred about it) because I'm actually a researcher in the topic: "breaking the 4th wall" and "metafiction" are very distinct things. "Metafiction" refers to fiction that adresses its own nature: games that talk about gaming, series that talk about the structure of serial TV, and so on. "Breaking the 4th wall" refers to a fictional character acknowledging the expectator/player. I don't know about the other games, but even though Alan Wake 2 is a heavily metaficional story because it adresses the structure of stories, in absolutely no point it breaks the 4th wall. That is a confusion that arises because it is not a game with metafictional elements, but rather a metafictional game altogether. But it doesn't break the 4th wall, it doesn't acknowledge the player or the gaming experience of the player: it just talks about the narrative from beginning to end.

TV Tropes has a few variations such as Leaning On The Fourth Wall and Painting The Fourth Wall.

Of course for the game built on No Fourth Wall (pretty much) there is The Stanley Parable. :)

[@kpr2]

Psst, hey Falcon... The fourth wall predates TV by a good bit; started on the stage actually. Here, I'll save ya the Google bandwidth: 'The concept is usually attributed to the philosopher, critic and dramatist Denis Diderot, who wrote in 1758 that actors and writers should "imagine a huge wall across the front of the stage, separating you from the audience, and behave exactly as if the curtain had never risen".' [Apologies, but in addition to being a game dev, I'm a lifelong theater geek & still act in VR productions to this day lol] EtA: Ah, someone beat me to the punch on all that. 🤣

A game where I didn't expect to be filled with 4th wall breaks, and it's not Jak & Daxter. But rather, it's SpongeBob: Cosmic Shake. At different points in the game, multiple characters allude to having a strange feeling their being watched, or controlled. The latter being right at the start of the game, with a random NPC (Not Karen) right across from Patrick's rock. Before breaking open the multiverse. That asks SpongeBob if he "gets a strange feeling like he's being controlled, by like, some kid?" SpongeBob would say something similar later in the game's Bikini Bottom HUB world. And then the Flying Dutchman, who's kinda hidden in one of the trailers in the Karate Downtown Bikini Botom level. This cameo breaks the 4th wall about SpongeBob as an animated series, but it doubly serves as a 4th wall break for the fact thi is a video game! I don't know, I never expected this kind of thing from a SpongeBob game of all things! And that makes it even more funny!
