[@BlondPanda]

The message "Press E to live again" when you die is probably a reference to Blood, where Caleb's (the protagonist) first line is "I live... again"

[@iantorrisi6671]

and that is a reference to army of darkness

[@Dhakadice]

Doesn't Caleb's voice actor voice the very final boss in Dusk as well?

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

So much loving detail. DUSK is one of the best shooters to have come out in recent memory.

[@FrahdChikun]

The Superhot power up is know as "The Serum of Blistering Heat" Blistering Heat, I guess you could say that's... *SUPER* . *HOT* .

[@John190assman]

Well it seems that devs are class acts and I like it.

[@NewBloodInteractive]

Hey buddy - we like u

[@melvins4190]

@@NewBloodInteractiveyou guys are the real G's of the industry

[@GB-263wyxx]

There is also a DOOM reference in E1M3. When you approach the white barn (past the church) and try to open the front door a pit opens and you fall into a room with a bunch of cultists. The room is laid out nearly identical to a portion of the DOOM level E1M3 (I could have the DOOM level name wrong)

[@NicholasBrakespear]

Worth noting that the Thief reference to Constantine... is right next to a spiraling corridor that is taken straight from the level "The Sword" in Thief 1. In fact, the game uses a number of almost exact geometry copies of parts of levels from the games that inspired it. Gotta love the developer's attention to detail.

[@awesomechannel1078]

*YOU AREN'T* *SUPPOSED* *TO BE* *READING THIS,* *GO AWAY*

[@magnusm4]

... yeah oka- *NO!* "unpacks camping tent and hammock

[@Ale93371]

The guy's damage sound is like the old Minecraft's death sound.

[@hashidatackey8758]

The sound when you go into the water is the same

[@Techhunter_Talon]

5:30 Jumping onto and walking on power lines? What is this? Postal 2? :P

[@ddxinthehouse]

thats what i thought too

[@hagyjal613]

its dusk

[@dancingpainter1295]

The Figure with Meat is a famous painting by Francis Bacon, who's work has influenced many horror games and art, such as Silent Hill.

[@FightingForceSoulless]

Sometimes amazing stuff makes it into these games, it really shows the appreciation between the community and the developers, it's almost like it's made by gamers who care about the community instead of a company that solely cares about the cash. Props to New Blood, they made something that's on par if not better than the best old school 90's shooters.

[@Foxy57537]

I like the "lighting technician" Andrew Hulshult reference, one of the best gaming metal music composers alive. Also, how many times does the treasure hunter find "YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, GO AWAY"? Nevermind, 7 times.

[@ChimAruk]

Also Big John's voice parodying Alan Dutch from Predator played by Arni Shwarzey LMAO

[@Smokecall]

This game looks like good classic fun. Strong quake vibes and yet still half life enough to really get one thinking

[@simonhenriksson4755]

11:23 he try speak like Arnold

[@Ancient_Authority]

"COME ON KILL ME! DO IT! KILL ME!" is possibly a predator reference

[@IronBoy-hf2lp]

He's: John Rambo imitating Arnold Schwarzenegger with a dev face on him. TRIPLE THREAT

[@ludophobi4986]

Camauauuuan KEEeEEeeeEll mMeEe DoOo Et hauhghahuhgahah

[@iplaygames5997]

11:32 he also is making quotes from predator when he says “come on, kill me”

[@treyvincent1759]

This game was a fucking masterpiece. This and Ion Fury are quite possibly by favorite physical game purchases in years. So glad that they came out on Switch

[@MrTripleXXX]

This game has so many easter eggs from 90's shooters. The crossbow from Heretic, clicking on computers and it says "Don't have time to play with myself". If you played a lot of 90's shooters you'd know where a lot of this stuff comes from. There were parts that had vibes of Doom 1+2, Doom 64, Blood, Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl, Quake 2.... I could go on, there is too many to list.

[@Falleax69]

Also, when you flush yourself down the toilet, the "Nooooo" is the same voice clip from Amid Evil when you fall to your death.

[@deanpaul3635]

15:30 Every boss and level in this game can be passed without killing, I believe it states pacifist on the level end screen when you've done so at 16:14. This game is fantastic thanks for sharing the eggs!

[@NoBop2000]

Chances are if you didn't know that you'd figure it out on the final level because the cultists usually kill Jacob and that outer god can't be killed so you're likely to get the pacifist thing on that level. I think thats an interesting bit of design there. Granted it does say it in loading screen tips but if you never end up seeing that somehow the game does shoe you at the end so on a repeat playthrough if you wanted to you could go for pacifist in every level

[@MrTripleXXX]

I got pacifist on the episode 3 boss level in Dusk. But that's because I let the cultists kill Jacob and you obviously don't kill the boss after Jacob.

[@aShadowWizard69]

Big John is also a reference to Rise of The Triad 2013 with the Big John boss fight

[@MaximG.]

13:22 - also this "NOOOOO!!!" is from AMID EVIL, another game published by New Blood.

[@MaximG.]

They've been in development almost at the same time, and, as I said, both are published by New Blood. I'm pretty sure it was Dave Oshry's idea to use this scream in Dusk. Or maybe it was Andrew Hulshult's idea, since it is actually his voice.

[@celebral_pelosi]

+ the "noooooooooo" Dusk Dude gives when you flush yourself down the toilet is the same scream they used for the Champion in Amid Evil

[@asadd2]

you put a lot of work into that video, thanks for the compilation!

[@crominion6045]

Man, the Quake influences are unmistakable. Nice!

[@Spellweaver5]

Thank you. I was looking for a compilation of references like this one. Also you should have probably mentioned that basketball that opens Rachael's room is a reference to Thief.

[@NoBop2000]

Fun fact. When you "flush your sins away" the main character screams not because he's falling but because he doesn't want to go to the Ratacombs

[@Dhakadice]

Big John is actually an easter egg himself (apart from having Dave Oshry's face). They even re-used his voice files from Rise Of The Triad (2013).

[@nekit_mem]

DUSK ost the best rock i've ever heard!

[@ddxinthehouse]

its metal and industrial. not rock my friend.

[@nekit_mem]

@@ddxinthehouse oh okay, thanks

[@brotherzero]

Also, in E1M3 there is a part where you fall down a long shaft and end up in a room identical that room in Doom's E1M2 right before the exit, where the elevator comes down and there are a bunch of imps all around in high ground and there is a switch in the middle that opens two doors on either side of it

[@GamerTheFrogfullvods]

When i watch your easter eggs videos ill see if i have the game and try to find them its fun

[@NoxMonstrum]

I love these old retro style games. They should make more of these.

[@bloodrunsclear]

The voice actor of a boss probably will sound a little familiar to classic FPS fans too :)

[@vobkv8312]

great video, enjoyed alot both this and the game

[@bonzo6989]

Man i love when games have super secrets. I miss it in today's games👍

[@random_reaper6796]

I really love your easter eggs

[@dukemations4702]

Such an underrated channel

[@DevastatorOne]

In level "Dead of the night" (E1M7 I guess) there is a picture of cat with nice fangs in some house. If you interact with picture, it will say "Demonic creature" :D

[@funkydooms4785]

ok now this is epic

[@Niedfyr]

Great video, awesome game!

[@nyldyoutuber2644]

Coolest Easter Egg Channel

[@michaeloverton04]

That "go away thing might be a reference to Richard "Levellord" Gray as he would put a similar, if not the same, message in secret areas of games he worked on like Duke Nukem 3D.

[@Amero2005]

Sad you didn't mentioned the Postal 1's references on some Loadscreens Edit: anyways, the video is so good

[@Webhead123]

The name of E1M6 "The Cutty Mine" is also a reference to Thief: The Dark Project. Cutty being the fence that Garrett must break out of prison in the second level and said prison is built on top of an abandoned mine.

[@doommaker4000]

You can also deflect projectiles with sickles :P

[@EdselClips]

Hey with the quick finish at 15:29 is that a refreance to half life 1s zen levels because the platforms look very similar and the jump pads remind me of the ones from half life one same with the textures kinda

[@babyfoodgerber]

On E3M7 Homecoming if you go to “your house” by the garage with the blue key. If you interact with the gas can by the sink at low health you get teleported away from the map, then the game crashes. Jakobs laugh can be heard also while doing this. Idk if you have to be at 15 health exactly to trigger it but it’s inconsistent and takes a few tries. You can esc key while you’re trapped but before it crashes. Not sure if an easter egg or what. Edit: just rapidly press use or E to pick up the gas can Edit: just shake your crosshair rapidly over the gas can. I’m dumb

[@nameless5413]

but big john can not be exclusive to dusk as he appeared in rise of the triad remake and amid evil aswell (albeit the later includes many wee johns)

[@djdilo7208]

THESE Easter eggs are like Playing tribute to all Classic Easter eggs

[@liderc9948]

Big John sounded like Terroriser when he does the Arnold Schwarzenegger sound

[@Kacdee]

niceee vid bro

[@theantgre]

"Delet this" as we can see, a mastahpeece

[@christiansabe6753]

Cool. Now i need to play this game

[@unclecharlie582]

I think the reachels secret room is a call back to that guy who won the nintendo power thing and got added to zelda as a secret room

[@gavin119]

Nice video

[@Valkuma]

You missed that "serum of BLISTERING HEAT" aka super hot.

[@MioAkiyama3686]

I think the black phillips are reference to the movie "the witch (2015)" where there is a similar goat with same name

[@hdjdxjdjd340]

[@ludophobi4986]

13:22 That sounds like the same sound when you kick someone off a building in Maximum Action

[@Comedy-Mode]

In the Romero PA message in the Escher Labs, you didn't notice that it started off by saying "custodian Syzmanski".

Damn this game looks incredibly fun!!! DOOM & DOOM 2 are my 2 favorite FPS's of all time by far and this game reminds me of them.

[@cakebear9534]

Because DUSK is tribute to them

[@NoBop2000]

@@cakebear9534 it's more a tribute to Quake and Blood than Doom

[@ScarysReviews]

no FPS game of today will beat these games, sure, the eastereggs get better, but for the time, these FPS were the best and to play them today, great trip. One of them has an Evil dead reference, not sure if Blood, Quake, of Dusk, but it's a good one, has that backwards talking message and the book with radio and a candle

[@MegaButze]

2:35 remind me of the GTA 3 easter Egg.

[@MioAkiyama3686]

Also i think leatherneck is a reference to Leather face and rednecks

[@takoshihitsamaru4675]

I love how most of these seem to just be the developers fucking around, making mistakes or doing stupid shit then leaving it in the game. The tiny boss is likely a scaling issue they ran into with the character model, then they kept it and made it into a joke. I guarantee you the baby room was somebody being an asshole, making a mini series of rooms with a texture of their new baby all over it, one of their DUSK colleagues probably saw it and said "delete this", clearly he/she didn't XD Then there's the Super Hot room, they were probably like "hey, I wonder if we can rig up a room's logic to work like Super Hot, let's give it a try".

could you make a video of easter eggs of grezzo 2?
