Regarding the Bioshock one, Kotaku talked with the makers in an article where they explained that this was just an in-office acoustic guitar jam session that they happened to record and were playing around with it to get weird ambient sounds to put in the background.

[@p3k1n0]

I've read your message after writing that probably it was a simple sound dsign choice :). Thank you for the info.

[@Hunoa44]

They made it sound like some of the music in "final destination" once it was sped up 10 times

[@NoName_NoTitle]

Also, that is definitely a woman's voice. The 8x speed doesn't sound like a natural man's voice, but rather a downpitched woman's voice. I mess with sampling a lot, so it's obvious to me. The first example is probably closer to the original pitch.

[@KeWDu]

Yeah that’s what I figured. Just an easy way for the devs to have some fun and also get something out of it to use for the game.

And the eyes are likely foreshadowing the ending. Spoilers below: After you escape, you find that aliens with those same eyes have been keeping various planets in bottles. The security alerts were because you're an outside force who could potentially expose them.

[@JupiterxBlues]

One more thing to add. Big spoiler. Seriously, big spoiler. Dont look if you havent played it yet. I highly recommend the game too. Ok last spoiler warning. One of the characters from the photos is the guy you find at the end who is actually the owner of the hoise who somehow kept himself alive and apparently is the cause for his wife's and child's deaths. Its unknown who the mystery text names belong to but my theory is the "hour" thing may be a "time and date" of death and the names may be the three family members of the house since the husband who is still alive was hiding so the aliens might think that all the family members have died.

The Alice one seems like an animation error, not the dev team trying to be racist. Having the character squint while performing a physical task seems much more likely to me.

"Having the character squint while performing a physical task seems much more likely to me." Exactly what I thought, but does this chain pulling happen in other levels?

[@sadie9728]

As they said, animation error

[@OldObscureUnpopularGames]

@@Lucios1995 It has been a bit admittedly, but I don’t recall the chain pulling elsewhere as most of the big hub areas had similar actions you’d do throughout and more would be introduced and some even dropped in each new hub area. If this is the only area with the chain pulling and it looks like this, it’s probably more likely that it’s just a bad animation tactic to make her squint from the force of pulling (or just an error with key frames, who knows). If the animation happens in other areas and it doesn’t have the squinting, that leans into them possibly adding it without meaning harm but realizing it’d be seen as offensive to others and removing it, minus this bit. Just want a little bit more information there out of curiosity lol

[@marhawkman303]

@@Lucios1995 An alternate take? Maybe instead of just swapping clothes, the designers wanted her face to change to look Chinese? Surprise! You're Chinese now!

[@TouruZen]

The Genshin/Transformer one has two possible explanations. It was a placeholder model for the Ruin Grader enemy since the model was found back in 1.1 and in 1.2 we got the big robot enemy. Another possible reason is a copyright trap. Where Hoyoverse could say 'We have an unused Shockwave model in our game' and if the other devs copy and pasted which is surprisingly common then they could find that model in the copy and pasted game in court.

[@elliot20201]

Wow, I never thought about that kind of copyright trick!

[@TheSuperappelflap]

developers frequently add complex models like this in early versions of a game to test their engines. they are usually removed for production releases but people often forget stuff like that for a game theyve been working on for years during crunch before a deadline. theres a famous example of an untextured weapon, i believe a weapon from halo, appearing in another games code, i forgot the details.

[@livipup]

For the bounty hunter thing, it's possible that the artist was really just having some fun. Sometimes studios will have two things in development at the same time and things might get loaded into a more complete project for testing then left behind by mistake or they might use an older project as a base to work from and still leave that stuff behind by mistake. If they were testing mechanics for another project then an artist may have had some free time and thought it would be funny to give the testers a Mandalorian character to play with. Can't be sure of that, especially if it's for a project that never released or cut content from really early in development of one that did eventually release, but it's definitely a possibility.

For the genshin Shockwave thing i assume the model was just a placeholder used for the Ruin Grader enemies, they’ve been in game since release (fitting the note about the model being there since then) and considering the fact (according to the video) it was a large model it’d probably fit the Ruin Graders size, so not a mystery just a classic “oops we left in a placeholder model” situation

For the Tinykin unsolved easter egg, false patterns can happen all the time in cryptography with brute force. I’d say that it should be taken with a pinch of salt, especially since it seems a bit muddled in its message.

[@dryued6874]

Depends on how it was cracked. If it's simple substitution, it's probably pretty close.

[@GamerLeFay]

Depends on what the code is. If it's just like a substitution cipher (which, let's be real, it probably is), then the fact that the first half was so comprehensible means that the second half is almost certainly correct (or at least no more than a letter or two off).

[@edwarddavedson]

To me, #2 looks like maybe an unfinished effort squint animation? Seeing as it only shows up when Alice is pulling the chain, and considering how much force it appears is needed, I would almost bet that's what it is. Since most players won't have the camera around to the front when pulling the chains, it may have been left in with the naive thought that no one would ever notice it and just moved the work focus elsewhere.

[@ectothermic]

Yeah it looks like it just doesn't reset quickly enough once she's done. Probably overlooked and not so much left in on purpose. That's a shit entry tbh cos then every face Link makes in Wind Waker is racist.

[@PosthumanHeresy]

Probably a placeholder but this crossover would fit Transformers well actually.

[@IronMarioTopVideos]

The Shockwave model actually has a simple reason, the game has a very tall boss (a 40 meters robot) so they used the model to test how tall can be an enemy without crashing the game engine or cause performance issues, considering that the game has to be able to run on a mobile device.

12:30 Odd, why'd it instantly go to racism? C'mon. Squinting isn't a racist thing against Asians, man. I was kinda excited to hear one of my favorite underrated games mentioned on a big channel, and it's a false racism theory. Great. Alice in particular has a good number of moments of animation weirdness. It's definitely either an animation error or just an animation of Alice squinting while pulling a clearly heavy chain, as people tend to when they handle heavy things. I doubt American McGee would've let any form of racism slip into the game, he literally lives in China right now and has been living there as of 2009, two years before AMR was released. He's also in a loving, long-term relationship with a Chinese woman whom he married in 2019 and now has two children with. The level this occurs in isn't intended to be racist or anything similar, it's in Alice's mind as one would expect because Wonderland and the eastern look of it is based off of her memories of Wilton J. Radcliffe, he family's greedy lawyer who has many eastern-styled things around his home and has seemingly developed a bit of a fixation with the eastern aesthetic. At least it didn't cause a big stir for no reason like some things do, American's had it rough this year with EA rejecting and shutting down the third Alice game which he and his team had been working on designing for four years and retiring from game development because of it. People starting racism rumors would only make it worse.

Regarding the BioShock: Infinite music - the game uses the Wwise sound engine - the engine version used in that game only has a handful of sample rates pre-built for native playback - music from that engine is usually only played at sample rates of 22,050 Hz, 24,000 Hz, 44,100 Hz and 48,000 Hz - if we divide all of these by 8 or 10 we arrive at sample rates that are not natively built into the engine in seven out of eight cases - the only possible combination is 48,000 Hz slowed down 8x to 6,000 Hz, which is a built-in sample rate that is used widely for room drones and other low frequency effects => the correct playback speed for the sound file is eight times faster

[@RedNomster]

14:35 the snake eating it's tail in a circle is a depiction of infinity, endlessness, etc. There is 1 inner triangle, and three inner circles (when connected with lines form an upside down triangle) create the widely known geometry of a hexagram. It's sacred geo that appears in way too many religions and such to narrow down a plausible connection. The reason I bring it up, though, is because Halo *Infinite* does the same thing with their newest, esoteric species. They have a symbol representing them that doesn't appear to be a "form" unlike the other indexed species on Zeta Halo. Humans are drawn as humans, but this new species, in Halo INFINITE, is called the "Endless" - their symbol geometrically matches a hexagram, surrounded by a circle, and they're called the endless, so I thought the similarity to the Witcher/Cyberpunk mystery is pretty cool, if not possibly inspired by similar sources. :)

Kratos vs Sun Wukong would be pretty good. I can imagine Wukong, the trickster he is, being more of a persistent troublemaker than an actual malicious villain.

[@RedSpade37]

​@@arstulex Sun Wukong, at least as far as I know, would be a very interesting opponent for Kratos, since Sun has *multiple* layers of immortality. It will be neat to see how Kratos would deal with some one like that.

[@arstulex]

@@RedSpade37 Sun Wukong's abilities are so numerous and 'gimmicky' that I feel like Kratos would really struggle against him. Multiple layers of Immortality aside... He has superhuman strength, speed and agility (of course). He has (from what I understand) unlimited stamina, so he will never fatigue. He has his nimbus cloud for flight. He has his iconic staff that he can change the size of at will (Ruyi Jingu Bang). He has mastery over a wide variety of weapons. He can shapeshift into many different forms including animals and objects. (Makes him hard to actually pin down) He has the ability to cast various spells, such as turning himself invisible. He can manipulate the elements (to an extent). He can create many clones of himself from his own hairs, and each of those clones also possess the same innate abilities (strength, agility, shapeshifting, etc), so Kratos would have the possibly face an army of annoying supermonkeys. Given his background though, I can't see him and Kratos actually being enemies. Both have very similar backgrounds, being mocked/betrayed/scorned by their respective pantheons and going Rambo on them. Sun would likely want to fight Kratos for fun, but not as an enemy. More like a neutral character who is just an annoyance to somebody more stoic like Kratos.

[@Krayfishkarl]

From what I heard about Conker Live and Reloaded being more censored than before, it was due to the fact that at the time of release, a completely uncensored version may have pushed the game to an AO rating. That would have made it pretty much impossible to get the game to physical retailers. Since the mature content of the original game was responsible for damaging its sales (coupled with the fact that it was being released at the end of the N64's lifespan), it's likely that Rare was trying to play it safe this time around.

[@Spewa-em8cm]

Thats exactly the reason, one of the devs confirmed it in an interview around the time Rare Replay released. They wanted to make the game more marketable so they could recoup losses after Grabbed by the Ghoulies bombed. Thats the reason they replaced the original party game multiplayer with a military shooter too.

I actually think the artist having fun answer for Boba Fett in Conker does work, with the caveat that a programmer went along with it. It could have easily been an idea they wanted implemented and thus worked on in their spare time only to be told they couldn't do it. That kind of thing happened in Skyrim with the bug jars. The art team had an idea for a quest, clearly got some programmers in on the idea enough to add collision and let players pick them up, but the level director said they didn't have time to implement an idea that wasn't well thought out, so it was scrapped. Very easily could have been a similar thing but instead they were told they couldn't get the rights and thus had to ensure it didn't show up in the game (unlike the bug jars in Skyrim). Or it was used as a joke during development, started by an artist as a placeholder for Conker and continued by other devs until later in development.

[@Flyin9Penguin]

The one with Tyr, my theory is that he's showing different meditative styles/poses from different realms, the ones he visited. So maybe we will see more realms in the next game and not just one. Fingers crossed its egypt

[@zackhenderson2392]

If that's really all it is, I'd imagine it'd be Hinduism next.

[@arstulex]

@@zackhenderson2392 I think the problem there is that it's still a practiced religion. GoW has basically only dealt with religions that are no longer being practiced (Greek and Norse mythology), which means there's nobody to offend. I can imagine a lot of people might take issue with Kratos cutting off Ganesh's arms or snapping Vishnu's neck lmao. Not saying it won't happen ofcourse, just that there is reason for them to keep clear of 'current' religions. Anyway, time for Kratos vs The Prophet Muhammad, lmao

[@nssheepster]

Might be Japan/Chiba. Shinto/Taoism isn't 'practiced' the same way as other religions, so there's not a huge chance of blowback. They treat their religions a bit differently over there, and some of those poses look like meditation in various forms.

The Transformers shockwave mystery is funny to see. As I remember on reddit someone mentioned: [1] Their is a Genshin enemy in the game that resembles the functions of shockwave [2] Transformers had a lot of advertising from Chinese product placement from movie 4/5. (its a loose connection sot china) so its only mostly surprising to see a Chinese developed game feature hidden shockwave model

[@sm-033]

My only guess for the Alice Madness Returns one is that maybe the animation was made using a separate model for whatever reason and they simply forgot to change it alongside the player model.

[@rollanddev]

It may just be that the animator was dissatisfied with the results after testing the animation. The "eyes wincing with strain" animation may have been quickly updated to stand out better, but the "eyes un-wincing after" animation mistakenly kept with the original parameters. Given how specific the bug is, it's one of those things that could very easily be missed by the QA team in testing...

[@glassbunnyy]

[@ForTheForsaken]

7:17 the Bioshock mystery is probably the sound producer using some royalty song to create ambience. Songs have a lot of different frequencies and so they can create a nice thick ambience if slowed. I reckon he probably reversed or chopped it up to make sure it was intelligible.

I mean, honestly, the Cuphead Eminem one was probably just an error handler. Like that pops up because presumably during development there was an "Error 1327: No Resource Found For Whatever" or something message, and someone was going through and replacing those messages with innocuous stuff just in case they popped up in normal gameplay it wouldn't be jarring and out of place.
