Movie-Based Video Game Easter Eggs

Released just over three weeks ago, the amazingly successful sandbox title may have already taken to the net, by way of stuttering multiplayer contingent GTA V history Online , but some eager anarchists appear keen to prove that there's plenty left to enjoy (and eviscerate) on the singleplayer side of thi


Harold Joseph, more commonly known as Stretch, gets out of prison in the early stages of GTA V __ and gets back to work in the gang lifestyle with Lamar Davis and Franklin. Of course, we find out gradually over the course of a few missions, that Stretch changed sides in prison and was working for the Ballas the whole time. He almost gets Lamar killed later on in the game, when the three protagonists have to assault the sawmill to save him. If the player chooses not to have Franklin kill Michael or Trevor, and instead takes out their enemies, Stretch gets what he deserves. Betraying your gang and trying to get homies killed? That's sav


These Easter eggs have convinced some players that Mei, the sole survivor from her team, is actually the Thing from the 1982 film. In the left side corridor of the left spawn room, you can look through a window and see the same ice block that the Thing thawed out of. Coincide


This is a reference to Adventureland when Jesse Eisenberg’s character is forced to give away a giant panda plushie at knifepoint and Kristen Stewart (Kristy) tells him that, if it sucks, he’s going to get fi


The series of missions that include Beverly Felton are probably among the most irritating of the Strangers and Freaks missions. Beverly is a paparazzo, and tails celebrities with ruthless diligence, photographing them at their most sensitive times. Most of the missions involve car chases and end up putting celebrities' lives in danger, simply because Beverly has an obsession with famous people and doesn't think they deserve any privacy. Among his victims is Poppy Mitchell, essentially the GTA world's own Lindsay Lohan, who gets into a serious auto wreck while being chased by Franklin, Beverly, and the cops. Beverly's crimes may not be the most serious in the game, but his obsessive aggression when it comes to stalking celebrities is enough for us to classify him as a real sav


Later on, Cheng's men kidnap Michael and hold him hostage in a meat packing facility, thinking Michael is Trevor's gay lover. Cheng tortures Michael and orders that he be executed in a gruesome way (it involves the meat plant), cementing his savage work as a gang lea

Of course, the biggest question on many's mind is whether or not this is a mere gimmick. With the amount of work and customization Rockstar clearly put into it, it's far from a throwaway feature. Those who tailor the settings to their likings will realistically find a whole new way to experience the title. Some may even prefer many aspects of first-person mode. While I found it agreeable, I still prefer to experience the entire game in third-person, but there's no denying that gunplay can be more smooth and precise in first-person. However gamers decide to experience it, though, they can be assured it will be in a beautiful setting.


While the time-intensive task does result in some pretty spectacular vehicular carnage, Fysho's exploits are merely the tip of the iceberg where cheats-empowered destruction is concerned. Imagine the same video with moon-bounce gravity, or as part of a crude Rube Goldberg machine (where one element serves only to operate the next). How about a flaming Ken Masters-style punch to kick off the fiery cy


Grand Theft Auto has a similar conundrum. Few players can relate to gang members, organized crime leaders, or, well, whatever you call Trevor Philips, but the themes in the games are far more relatable, like having to earn money, looking out for one's friends and navigating the game of life (just with more guns and hookers) In short, the game is more down to Earth. Obviously, we'd be lucky never to have to go through what any of these characters deal with but there are few series out there that boast an eclectic cast quite like the ones we've seen in G

Rockstar wasted no time in dropping easter eggs in Grand Theft Auto V , as the first one can be found during the first mission of the game. Shortly after escaping the bank - that Michael and Trevor rob - you will find yourself traveling down a snow covered road in the getaway car. This easter egg can be found as you begin to near the sharp right turn just before the bridge, however, in this case you will want to veer off the road and down to the river on your right.


The term Easter egg-- or a joke or message hidden within a video game-- originated from the 1979 Atari game Adventure . Atari did not allow their developers to display their names during the end credits of a game because they feared competitors would recruit and steal away these employ


Zealous fans of the GTA series will have remembered the radio DJ Lazlow Jones from other games. An interesting fact about this character, he is voiced by Jeffrey "Lazlow" Jones, an American talk show host who has also written and produced for Rocks
