Stalker 2 - 20 Easter Eggs & Secrets (4K)

[@punish]

I just realized that the CoD4 Easter egg is from the mission "One Shot, One Kill," not "All Ghillied Up." Sorry for the mix-up!

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

It could be also a reference to the Medal of Honor Warfighter, with the mission where you are sitting inside the building behind the table and shooting down some enemies with sniper rifle. I mean, just look how it's all placed in Stalker 2. The table, sniper rifle on it. It's a obvious reference to Medal of Honor Warfighter. Because, in CoD4 you were not sitting behind the table. You were laying on the floor with sniper rifle before you. And the rifle itself was Barret 50 cal and not M40A3. And then you could see the nuclear powerplant of Chornobyl on the background in CoD4 where you have to snipe Zachaev down. However, in Stalker 2 you can't see it on the background, nor similar open area that would resemble the place where Zachaev and his men were standing. So yeah, I bet that it is a reference to Medal of Honor Warfighter.

In the forest east by truck cemetery heading towards rostok is a floating pattern of leaves, you can walk through them and they will move back into position again. They form a pattern but I can't make out what the easter egg is for, may be worth having a look yourself.

[@Trahzy]

@@deathcold_longplaysua4846 Lol it's clearly a Cod4 reference, maybe both.

[@Riccccccc]

@@deathcold_longplaysua4846 dude its literally set on Ukraine. by your logic its closer to CoD4 closer since its set on Ukraine, and not on where ever MOH took place.

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

@@Riccccccc Dude, as someone from Ukraine and as someone who played Call of Duty 4 many and many times, I can 100% say that it does not refer to CoD4 because of how different the set of the reference is. Different place in the building, different objects, different positions and that kind of stuff.

[@OwlOwl-c4g]

The Gordan Freeman one is a returning one from the first game, where you could find the corpse of a Stalker in the same tunnel who is just straight up Gordan Freeman

[@halolime117]

yup, i remember finding him, i was shocked lmfao XD And he had a PDA too

[@iamdjiamput7552]

9:50 The falling stalker itself is a reference to morrowind perhaps? In Morrowind the falling wizard also brings note with the same name

[@kisekinopureya]

The shipping container full of zombies can also be reference to dayz. People trap zombies in containers instead of fighting with them (especially in military zones where melee combat with armored zombies are challenging)

[@mrman3099]

In the scav/loner tunnel hideout in the cordon (the one that follows the dirt path and not the train tracks) is an underground base. Inside, I can't remember where specifically, is a door with a Viper-5 Jammed into the hinges. You can't pick it up and I returned there again to see if it was there and it still is. I think it's a reference to being able to pry open doors with guns in the first games. Kind of neat.

[@yefremjr]

Yeah, old stalker speedruns all use this trick, that's actually a pretty cool meta-joke

[@Hououin_Kyouma]

Basket of Easter eggs is actually also a traditional Ukrainian set for Easter, but without alcohol

[@transcent7]

People in Villages in Ukraine often hide gorilka under all the "goods" to make it holy. That is totally a thing.

[@NIKSBR]

The shipping container full of zombies is also in Resident Evil 3 Movie. Not sure if Developers thought of this connection.

[@marin_444]

dying light too

[@Cerberus0076]

They did put so much love and details to the game, haven't seen any other games being so dedicated 👍 Mad respect for the Devs

[@Prav-V1]

What make sad are one of the devs are go to battlefield and die as a soldier

[@kolohatky]

RDR 2?

[@evanescence47]

Ah , the COD theme in the background 🥲

[@trungtranthanh5894]

Half Life 2 Easter Egg is the same location in the old game. if you are in the old game and go to that underpass, you will find dead npc name FREEMAN and you can loot DE on his body

[@kevlare-7324]

I’ve loved this series since about 2012. If you play farther into the story to the missions “To the last drop.” It’s very clear the devs took notes from two of my favorite other series “Metro” and “Half life”. The whole mission is a love letter to half life and can be considered the biggest Easter egg I’ve seen thus far. Much love to you GSC☦️❤️

[@mikejennette8478]

lol a lot of the devs from stalker Soc clear sky and cop left to make 4A studios which made metro

[@michaelsamo2849]

Nimble character is a face and voice of Iliya Nauschuller, the film director of Hardcore Henry and Nobody. He directed the cutscenes of the whole game.

[@en3myspott3d54]

I believe the container full of zombies is a reference to a scene in the movie Resident Evil Extinction

[@3Zclap]

a day Z mod for this game would be insane

[@bababooey9825]

Wilhelm scream had me fucking crying dude

[@eliasgvinp2141]

On the radio, you can hear the OST from the indie game "Cradle." It's a small indie game created by some developers who previously worked on the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

[@purple_1884]

Container of zombies most definitely references a third Resident Evil live action movie

[@SamuraiPie8111]

the entire sequence where you go into SIRCAA and end up going through the wormhole anomalies is a reference to Half Life 2. You can even see a headcrab briefly

[@Chud-mb7gl]

The entire sircaa mission is a reference to half life Portals, clean labs, inserting a crystal into a machine causes a disaster, even monolith whose uniforms are based on hecu are wrecking the place

[@oldbutGreatestOfAllTime]

7:30 - Resident Evil

[@ferdinandcrespo6012]

Yup, I was about to write the same thing. It surely is a Resident Evil easter egg.

[@jaidennelson-tebbit6781]

My first thought of the zombies in the shipping container is of a typical behaviour in dayz where you go atop a container to lure them and lock them in.

[@l0rd0f5k33p]

The cod 4 one absolutely floored me I will forever love this game for adding it

[@_TriggerAC7]

You missed another DayZ Easter egg at 3:50, because the map on the wall of the room is the map of Livonia!

[@lazybearEER]

That container full of zombies is probably a reference to the movie Resident Evil 3

[@AceIndiana]

Idc if I’m getting spoilers. Knowing that these are in the game makes me happy. References and Easter eggs are nice

[@monkeys482]

It's not from all gillied up. That's from the first game where you snipe somebody from that specific Tower

[@Zephyr_Phoenix76]

0:10 "50,000 People used to live here, now, now it's a ghost town"

[@ОлександрЯцко-х8и]

hey, what about a witcher medallion?

[@56bturn]

Okay, I'll admit, opening with the CoD easter egg with the music and dialogue is pretty neat.

[@ДамирГиззатуллин-э7р]

7:00 Not ''Walking Dead'', this is "Resident Evil: Extinction" ( The third film) :D

[@BenelliAkimbo]

Best reference in the whole game for me 👉 1:55

[@Chud-mb7gl]

In the burnt forest you can come across a stalker and help him protect Tolik's grave, he mentions how his friend was saved by Strelok near rokie village

[@andrewb.9815]

3:10 the writing on the wall says: "It (Zone?) will never leave you".

[@uardie6788]

"The Zone does not let go"*

[@andrewb.9815]

@@uardie6788 is that what it is? All I know is I got hit by a wave of nostalgia as soon as I saw it. 😆

[@Zarazaztymiuserami]

7:00 Don't Dead - Open Inside

[@Medino9846]

Your vids reminds me good old kacpi26 that i used to watch every day

[@alisherri77]

Where is the irridated firefightwrs clothing, the death bridge? I wish location was given..

[@Shadow6Gaming]

The devs at GSC have gone above and beyond with this game.. yeh it still has bugs and issues but this level of detail is amazing!

[@Ivanuts]

7:00 iit's from movie "Resident Evil: Extinction"

[@NoOneInportant]

btw there is a gun in the game called deadeye if you know the gun its a usp match from half life 2 but with a red dot sight

[@RiderKesasar]

There's a dead stalker with a Yamcha pose outside of the Cordon's northern checkpoint

[@alfonsogomezmontoya1]

Sahrani its the island from the first Arma, nice reference

[@bottleflaskan802]

Why not show the locations on the map?

[@Askethanoras]

1:48 is also in the first but more... in one pieace

[@良心的な国民]

It would be nice to indicate their location😊

[@Emberigo]

And that you don't know about monobank sticker in trader Hamster

[@ownage11445]

Cossacks 3 is also the vodka label

[@ItsZeroCraft]

surprised they did not add any easter eggs from the Metro games.

[@Nurse_Cipher]

Calls a Arma 2 Map a DayZ reference.

[@AndrewShook]

I accidentally found the car in the tree from Harry Potter and it made me so happy 😂

[@support4dub]

There's a "Don't open, Dead inside" easter egg from Walking dead very early on in the game - i forgot the exact location...

[@leozark4374]

good video!

[@kitpalencar5165]

This game looks photorealistic... insane.

[@AceIndiana]

Go check out Dying Light 2 in that case. Another damned good game

[@kitpalencar5165]

@AceIndiana very well! Thank you for the rec. :b

[@darkmaster83]

Appearently the bridge of death myth isn't true, according to a former liquidator. not everyone died on that bridge and appearently they never saw a blue light from it either.

[@88Niemand]

2:30 Location Please

[@РускийРуский-в9ч]

no one stays on this bridge bruh, everyone was sleepin' cause this was no alert in chernobyl during explosion

[@nillk2168]

Wait, dont tell me freeman easter egg now without desert eagle

[@mandrac2]

sadly no de in the game

[@kreiger0]

You took that DE 15 years ago, why would it be there! lol

[@feraltwitch]

Pretty sure the developers play all of those game too.

[@MrYoda-xb6mp]

The npcs sometimes grunt like villagers from minecraft wonder if that’s a Easter egg haha

[@AceIndiana]

We shall act like it is for merely the fandom of it Although in truth its most likely because toxic air

[@ColdbloodedFiend]

7:02 mb resident evil 3 the movie

[@EOGSS13]

the gordon freeman easter egg appears in SoC as well

[@jugandoconviktorgameplay4955]

Resident Evil movie 3

[@purplenurp5590]

bruh they should totally do another limited edition stalker energy drink release for like monster

[@burneraccounthandle]

the first ones not a reference lol

[@nikitashchypylov7730]

7:00, maybe, RE3 movie? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYDQfZehfqmUe5I

[@jakey7563]

alien one is a stretch

[@kruchy7816]

I find grogu

[@Leelareso]

Yeah their own 4070 card cant get stable 60 fps in their own game. Parody.

[@goodsoup6162]

and these are really not all of the easter eggs, many of them are local Ukrainian memes

[@Error_APC_INDEX_MISMATCH]

They should make a better game, not a bunch of easter eggs

[@marek.medved.77]

In COD4 mission Pripyat the Barrett M82 sniper rifle was used and not the AWP. The M82 uses a .50 caliber and the AWP uses a .308 caliber.

[@Cipher_556]

Yeah not shit, it's still a reference. Besides, there's no M82 in this game... yet, that's why they used the AWP. Though I was expecting MK14 since it's present.

[@NEREKA7]

bot everything is an easter egg or reference to another media property sometimes its just a coincidence especially because people r pushing western references on a European game 😂

[@test37485]

Половина пасхалок притянута за уши. Я бы прошёл мимо и даже не обратил внимание. Полная хрень
