Fun fact: in the original source version of the game, the games in that ending were different! The first game was *minecraft*, and the second was portal! For the ultra deluxe version, they asked the developers of firewatch and rocket league to lend them their assets (which they apparently did gladly!)

[@shibainu2528]

In the Half Life 2 mod version of Stanley Parable, you get sent to the train station from Half Life 2, just ending right after you jump out of the window where Barney would have met you. This ending also housed the "Stanley was fat an ugly and really really stupid" line, before the broom closet got added. If you walked down this crack in the wall, you would end up back in the office, just without the narrator or certain gameplay aspects like doors closing or the boss's keypad. In the full Stanley Parable, you get sent to Minecraft where the narrator builds a dirt hut, then tells you to go on an adventure to make it out of diamond. But, you quickly get lost in a cave without torches, and the narrator doesn't like this adventure very much. You get sent to Portal, where the narrator opens the glass panel to let you out, you solve the first "puzzle" but then the narrator calls the elevator up. Jump down the elevator shaft, and you end up back in a rundown version of The Stanley Mod. I shouldn't have to explain Ultra Deluxe, it's in the video.

@@NewsofPE From what I've read, the reason Minecraft wasn't included was licensing issues, so blame Microsoft for not allowing it this time round. Last time all the developers had to do was chuck Notch an e-mail, and he accepted. This time they had to deal with Microsoft as they bought the game in 2014, and Microsoft said "nuh-uh".

whats actually funny is when he said "I knew its source" (paraphrased). Actually the Ultra Deluxe version runs on Unity... but they wanted it to feel like the original so they had to get the lighting correct to feel like source, which was decribed as a real pain to do. Looks like they achieved that goal.

I've only watched Oliver for a few weeks now after seeing his blind rainworld playthrough and being generally impressed by his ability to not be spoiled at all on popular games. However, I'm now having serious doubts that he actually does avoid spoilers like he says. Not because it seems like he's played the games before. The fact that the playthroughs are blind is extremely obvious. But the fact that it remains blind even hours into the playthrough makes me wonder if all of Oliver's playthroughs are blind because he simply can't remember anything he's seen of heard or done previously.

[@lohjutsulegend]

​@@NewsofPE now you're just insulting firewatch. Minecraft is the bigger, more successful game but it got many issues (many because of the things Mojang/Microsoft did in the past couple years). While that doesn't mean that it's worse than firewatch it doesn't mean the developer of the Stanley Parable should use it instead. They decided to support another good game which to me is better than just leaving the same thing there, which is now one of the most successful games ever created. Of course it would be cool to have Minecraft there but that doesn't mean firewatch doesn't deserve it to be there, too. Tldr. Please don't insult other games just because you prefer something else.

Especially after skimming through the ending of the video and seeing what ending Oliver got next.

[@colbyboucher6391]

So, the Memory Zone stuff you wouldn't recognize: - The Stanley Parable began as a half-life 2 mod where it only used assets from that game. The 2013 release was itself a "remake". You've seen the original Source version before. - When the game was on the Source Engine (which the 2013 version still was), you'd be taken to the Serious Room if you tried enabling sv_cheats in the command console. - The game's original demo was a totally different set of content specifically set up as a demo. We got wonderful content out of it, like... 8! (The game Supraland one-ups it with 9...) - There were some very odd, cheeky trailers just as meta as anything in the game itself

[@shibainu2528]

This is a serious manner, if only Stanley could activate sv_cheats, we can discuss how serious this is in the serious room. Sadly, since the developers changed the game engine to Unity, there is no console to input "sv_cheats 1" in like how you could on Source. This is truly our darkest hour. (I doubt this really counts as a spoiler to be honest, because like I said, you can't get into the room anymore without the console. So it's more of a fun fact of what has once existed.)
