13:45 respawn animation remind me of Mr Bean tbh

[@deuspepsi5922]

Yeah it is. I checked the box art

[@nghtwng1572]

My Exact Thoughts!!

[@tommybarron2981]

Its 100% Jimmy's rocket

[@johnsmith-oh9is]

I thought that as well. 1 is also a mummy reference and another is a Dracula reference. I think the others have to be references.

[@lukelukey4155]

The concept of using sunset tv on youtube/ingame on tv’s to promote the game/voting on future outfits while also giving brandon a sort of story that has its conclusion ingame in the final DLC is still really cool.

[@tham1472]

I played it now (4/5. 2024) the first time. I was wondering what the screens were good for because they do not work anymore. So i fought an dlc end boss i never saw before in the game 😅 but it still is a lot of fun. Well aged.

@@CaptainEggcellent not sure if anyone has replied with this yet but the blue rocket crashing into the ground and embedding the tip is probably a reference to the scene in Jimmy Neutron when he crashes his rocket into the chimney of his own house

[@obscuredoculi8774]

the rocket crashing spawn animation, has to be jimmy neutron

[@edbeded]

Wrong. It’s a submarine.

[@matttheprat2672]

Ya it even looks like his rocket

[@TheSpamMuncher]

Yep, that is what I thought.

[@PicklesTheOtt]

I was thinking it was more like the rocket you ride in at the beginning of Quake 2.

[@ScopeNothing]

Didn't commando keen have the same rocket?

[@Thee_Titanis]

Man I miss this game, I still dream that one day there will be a sequel like they hinted heavily in the game

[@realGeorgelucas18563]

I loved this game, watching this makes me want to replay it. One of my favourite moments is in the Mooil Rig DLC; after helping a guy who locked himself and his mother inside a room a few times, eventually the mothers voice changes to sound like him impersonating her. After finishing the quest line he comes out of the room dressed as his mother, and I think there was even a Psycho music sting. The player character then says "I bet most players are too young to get that reference." There's another point that I forget if it's in the Fallen Machines DLC, or just the end of the main game, but you have to get nanobots to stick to the outside of this energy sphere around you, which the player says feels "very Metroid-y"

[@warrenmangune5779]

Its the robot dlc for the metroid reference

[@captainyolo151]

The second last animation might be a reference to Nosferatu

[@Mazakai_]

Him crawling out of the grave when he respawns might be a reference to kill bill volume 2.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Maybe it's a reference to Michael Jackson's Thriller.

[@nickelakon5369]

No it's night of the living dead.

[@dopefish2245]

I absolutely love this game. The movement is so smooth, and the guns kick major ass. It's great

[@metrosity5863]

Its so amazing to see an underrated game get the recognition and attention it deserves

[@camouflage-i6e]

10:20 "Around the world in 80" poster is a reference to the movie and book "around the world in 80 days"

Genuinely hope Sony and microsoft make a deal, where we all get Spider-Man and we all get Sunset overdrive 2

[@L-3-W-1-S]

Microsoft doesnt own the sunset overdrive ip anymore since sony bought insomniac games so technically sunset overdrive could be released on playstation at any time it just depends if thats what sony wants

[@kard0078]

Here are some references: For deaths, you had the mummy, dracula, back to the future (sometimes you show up in the Delorian), the drill is Journey to the Center of the Earth (The original novel used a drill to get to the center and back). Also, in the character creation / customization, Rinnegan eyes from Naruto are an option.

[@KerMaWaffLe]

To add on in the death animations, the player can crawl out of a TV which is a reference to The Ring

[@kard0078]

@@KerMaWaffLe That too. I forgot about that one. Thanks.

[@nickelakon5369]

The drill is also in the 1959 movie adaptation iirc.

[@assassinmaster3419]

I'm pretty sure there's a Back to the Future and Doctor Who respawn Easter egg you missed Edit: There is also a few more you missed. There's one for The Ring (Your character comes out of a television) and one where your character slides in (like Risky Business) Edit 2: After looking through them, I don't think there is a doctor who one...probably got it confused with the Bill and Ted 😅

[@RevampReborn]

Doctor who yes back to the future maybe but haven’t seen it yet

[@Emil_Stoltz]

The cutscene near the end of the game where Player says they need to go back and save their friends and the captain says "What if I say no?" they pull out two guns that quickly turn into multiple guns, and it's a reference to the movie The Mask where Jim Carey does the same. One of the references I actually got on my first playthrough because I love The Mask.

[@UltraXlaX182]

The drill respawn has to be a nod to the shredder entrance in TMNT Arcade

[@shamzer0374]

Yeah! Immediately got foot clan vibes from original TMNT cartoons

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Ah, love those arcade games.

[@mrodgt]

Definitely a Transport Module from the TMNT universe. 👍🏼

[@DJNighty1]

It made me think of the drill machines the iron dwarves use in (world of) warcraft

[@nickelakon5369]

I think it's a reference to the original journey to the center of the earth movie (not the Brendan Fraiser one, the one from 1959)

[@ianmitchell5979]

9:30 that's actually a map in one of the DLC expansions. Really fun one!

I think there's also one where you're troun out of the mystery Machine by 2 ods

[@glenlewis1086]

In the same mission as the Lord of the rings reference, the next task is to control a wolf with your dreams. The player character then says 'I can tell he pays for premium cable', which is a reference to game of thrones and warging

[@cody8786]

Another game that has some references and Easter eggs is a game called “ Styx shards of darkness”

[@ibigfire]

There's another respawn animation where you fly in in the DeLorean, then Marty McFly runs in to fly it away. Marty is sometimes replaced by Walter, after his major events in the game conclude. You also missed that the respawn in the ending mission is a Beetlejuice reference. So many great references in this game! I really want a sequel too.

[@jacko6265]

There’s a back to the future respawn aswell

[@duckybaem]

this game have the most epic respawn animation i ever seen in my entire gaming history

[@thiccestiguana918]

I don’t remember when, but there is a point when your character says “Warriors, come out to play” which is a reference to the 1979 movie, “The Warriors.” Also, in the mission where you have to find the rich kids parents by climbing up the two buildings, if you fall off, two portals (blue and orange of course) will appear and set you back to a save point.

[@sterlingbenevolent8259]

One of the respawn animations was an old school ninja turtles reference

[@freedykruzo00]

[@crimsondemon2231]

First a fun fact Nosferatu is the only dracula film to not use the famous vampire's name due to the film makers not being able to afford the copyright. The pose he takes when the coffin opens is from Nosferatu.

Here we go.

[@christianparrish6647]

Sorry. Okay, in Skylanders swap force, in the Woodburrow rest area, there's an area that you can practice your powers on training dummies. Any, beside the dummies, are white flowers, and of you walk through them, they change color based on the element you're using. Fire red. Water blue. Earth brown. Air light blue. Tech yellow. Life green. Magic purple. Undead black. Now for the sad Easter egg. There is a water Skylander named zap, and his soul gem is called for Riley. Why is it called that? Well, during the making of Skylanders, and testing out zap, there was a young boy named Riley, and he was a huge fan of Skylanders and zap. But sadly he died later on, because he has a special condition. The developers were very sad about it, and named zap's soul gem after Riley, to pay tribute for him. If you want to know more, google zap. I hope this helps.
