Tapirs...need I say more?

If there aren't any tapirs in the graffiti on the walls, i will be disappointed.

Why does Brink equal these other games? Can someone give me a freakin pill or something so I can deal with these weird new posters?

How about you wander into a weird little spot that takes ALOT of work to get to and next thing you know you're in a bar full of Tapirs and Strogg.

Or some fallout/doom/elder scrolls stuff that would be cool.

I seriously think it should have an easter egg of a bunny sitting on easter eggs.

I would like to see a Strogg reference in Brink.

Not really.

You been the Security isn't going to bust the illegal Tapir farm?

It would be amusing.

They put grafitti on the walls with words from different languages. Perhaps we'll see some references to other games. Bethesda and SD games preferably.

Whats fun about knowing easter eggs before release?

It will most likely boil down to games which have been made bei SplashDamage and/or Bethesda, because they won't get into trouble by using these.

Or they put a graffiti on the wall which includes the story-lines of both MW2 and Blops. Some one-liner like "America fights dem evil russuhnz becuz dem do evil things."

Just listened to this podcast. They talk a bit about easter eggs from the 59-61 minute mark.

Paul Wedgewood: "...There are lots lots of easter eggs around the game..."

I want one in side of a vault-tec vault.

He also says, "you might pick up an audio diary that might explain why that thing exists..."

Audio diaries? Bioshock?

If you manage to get somewhere you shouldn't there should be killer bunnies waiting to munch your face off.

» Wed Aug 11, 2010 12:39 pm

Double post srry.

And then the only way to get ride of these killer bunnies is the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

I've always liked Halo because Bungie throws in a lot of Easter Eggs, and I'm hoping Brink will have at least a couple.
Hopefully they really do have a lot like what they said in that Podcast, but you do actually have to go looking for them to find them.

most easter eggs aren't obvious...it's generally devs inserting in-jokes and their names into the world. referencing movies, tv and video games are more obvious but less frequent. at any rate pre guessing at eastereggs on a new IP is somewhat futile isn't it?

ie if i was making art for this i might make a death caricature with a moose head, your average player will just see some random graffiti but it'd mean something to me.

I think l4d2 type thing would be good. How they had the survivors write stuff on the walls about what's happening. They could have passengers write stuff on the wall, or people who know the truth like resistance writing 'Don't defend the container it's a-' and the rest is scratched out/smudged off, with scratch marks and blood on the wall to show they killed him to hide the truth.

Totally should have (something like) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiT_5cr3tYI as a cutscene then.
