Game Details You (Maybe) Didn't Notice? - Moonface - Feb 2nd, 2024 I was taking a trip through random pages on the Red Dead Redemption Wiki and ended up on one about the undead that appear in the Undead Nightmare DLC, and in the characteristics section I saw a neat detail about them that I never knew about: Red Dead Redemption Wiki Wrote: Also, here's some from the old UG that I came across when looking to see if this thread existed there but not here when I felt like this thread had been made before (but these aren't from that UG's version of this thread mind you): The clouds and bushes in Super Mario Bros. are the same object, but recoloured. The gym layout of Goldenrod City in Pokémon Gold/Silver resembles a Clefairy.

I suspect this one is probably well known but because I didn't know it for quite a long time I'll share it anyway; in the Spyro series, Ripto is named as such because the Japanese symbols for Spyro's name resemble the word Ripto. RE: Game Details You (Maybe) Didn't Notice? - ShiraNoMai - Feb 4th, 2024 スパイロ ...hmm. Looks like it could be Zipto than Ripto if you ask me Also "Japanese symbols" you could at least call them characters if you don't know they're katakana Yoshi's Woolly World makes so many small details to their soft/woolly theme and nods to the original Yoshi's Island games. One of my favorites is their re-inclusion of the original Yoshi's Island easter egg on the 3-8 (4-8 in this game)'s boss, Naval Piranha, where you can shoot the small plant before it "awakens" when you approach it and it'll instantly kill the boss. In Woolly, they acknowledged this but because of the game's mechanics, the yarn balls only "trap" the sleeping piranha and not kill it instantly. You get a unique dialogue prompt that resembles the initial reaction from Kamek in Island.

I feel like it's rare for a developer to acknowledge something niche like that that was discovered in a previous game. The only other instance I know of for it is the recent Tomb Raider I-III Remastered where some of the trophies are for doing old exploits that got discovered in the originals. RE: Game Details You (Maybe) Didn't Notice? - Moonface - Mar 20th, 2024 13 years after it released, someone has discovered that you can destroy ATM's for 10,000 credits and medical stations for Stasis Packs in Dead Space 2: https://www.reddit.com/r/DeadSpace/s/NOylnUREbO Going by the reactions it seems nobody else knew this was a thing either, including a developer who worked on the game apparently. I always love when someone discovers a detail in a game years after its release. More so when developers either didn't know about the detail, forgot about it, or just assumed it was never going to get found. |
