Most of the challenges and arcade league levels in the series have references. 9:15 - "Cortez can't jump!" is a reference to a movie called "White men can't jump". 9:25 - "The dead, the bad and the silly" is an obvious spoof of a famous spaghetti western "The good, the bad and the ugly". Nice job! It's always nice to see people still coming back to this awesome series.
You missed one in What Lies Below, on one of the computers is an audio log by one of the workers that drones on about hearing creepy sounds and him trying to remember a password to his locker but repeatedly fails recollecting. This parodies the abundance of audio logs that contained passcodes in Doom 3.
Actually the "come on, Marines? You wanna live forever?" is a reference from World War 1 by a Marine named Daniel Daly. The original quote was ""Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?""
i havent seen any videos on this. but throughout the game you can see future cortezs helping you or even past versions of him , for example on scottland the brave , if you look out the window you can see a past version of cortez outside
One of my favourite easter eggs comes in the form of the Arcade stage Venice and how in the middle of the theme it pays homage to; "A Clockwork Orange" with the famous theme "Funeral march for Queen Mary"
Learnt a few things on this video, loved that you incorporated the Evil Dead reference, I guess you knew about The Good The Bad And The Ugly reference in the arcade league
i miss this game, such a loss there isn't a new one with online play and map sharing. i look forward to whenever timesplitters rewind comes out. I also remember seeing a tweet by deep silver saying that they're putting free radical back together with dr doak and someone else from the OG team i hope to heard something else about that soon.
Well keep it up timesplitters 2 & FP hold a special place in my heart and I still own them for GC to this day. It’s good to see people making videos for passion and not views!
I can’t believe I missed the friendly zombie! I’ve played that level more than any other, I used to be obsessed with the zombie levels. That’s great!! XD
It's clear that a good amount of work went into putting this together. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Fun to relive some of these small things from a game I haven't played in a long time.
another one since khallos express is based off Train is the Green Gas that is also sort of a reference to the Green Gas from GoldenEye Facility if you explode the main bottling room cylinders and don't escape the room fills with Green Gas.
On Khallos Express in the one bathroom (the one the female guard comes out of) you can use your uplink on dirty toilet plunger, and use it to paint any surface it touches a nice colour.
I accidentally discovered a glitch/easter egg in the boss fight with crow when he is transformed into the big machine. If you watch the cutscene before the fight begins up until a certain point in the dialogue, then skip the cutscene at that point, crow is able to be killed by one bullet no matter which weapon, whether a pistol or rocket launcher. Came in handy when I played harder difficulties :)
Joshthe CapGuy Wow! Do you have a video showing that off? Because I would love to make a video on that (with credit in the video to you of course, if that’s cool 😁)
not an easter egg but the very first thing cortez can see when he wakes up from the crash is his future self on the ridge. you dont pick up on it cuz hes upside down.
There's two other movie references I think you've missed... During the story level You Genius, U-Genix, one of the U-Genix scientists being chased by mutants can be heard exclaiming "Game over, man! Game over!" Another obvious nod to Aliens, there. The league match The Dead, The Bad And The Silly is a big callback to the spaghetti-Western film The Good, The Bad And The Ugly One other BIG video-game reference is the call-backs the story missions have to Half-Life and Half-Life 2. The brief appearances of a mysterious figure in the distance during Time To Split (as whom you play during The Hooded Man) are referencing the brief appearances of The G-Man during the story of both games, and the Temporal Uplink's force manipulator is a definite riff on the concept of one of the Half-Life series' most iconic weapons/gadgets, the Gravity Gun
Awesome stuff mate! There's so much in this game , i can only imagine the developers were havin an absolute field day with what references they could sneak in :D
@@Sqdlow Absolutely. I never knew you could pick up the Flare Gun so early in Scotland The Brave. There's probably an entirely separate video in all the references you might glean/miss in the names of playable characters and their descriptions in the Gallery - e.g. Nurse Tourniquet's bandages always being "tight and restrictive" (as a tourniquet should, since it's designed to prevent excess blood loss) or Lenny Oldburn's name and design being a very obvious reference to Ozzy Osbourne
10:14 is either the four monkeys, hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil, do no evil. its the 3rd month, 4x3= 12.. 12 monkeys Most likely is that Artic Monkeys played in Glasgow that day
I believe the girl on the far left actually might be one of the hackers from TS2's Neo Tokyo level? She looks a bit like Krayola. Also, there's an easter egg on the map Hotel out in the courtyard on each wall. On one of the walls is the word "billend". It's slang for cock. xP There's a number of different easter eggs on Hotel, that I've noticed. I did a lot of exploring using a no-collide cheat.
if you press the button on the train that will cause tipper to open a panel and get electrocuted. if you press it again the missile goes off I think. you can also shoot a propane tank in the same room to launch it.
When I was playing on PS2 in Training Ground (ts2 and ts3), I fell on the ramp next to the waterfall and, while falling, advanced on the wall and appeared in a bug spot. Does this happen to everyone? If you want to try, shoot a Scif pistol (laser pistol) at the wall to hit you and knock it down, from there from the wall. BRAZIL here!
There’s a doom 3 reference in the maintenance log on the computer when you go into the lab under the mansion that pokes fun at listening to all the logs for locker codes.
I wanted to do something like this a while back but I was going to talk about basically how some of the newer games took ideas and concepts from time splitters like for example when playing resident Evil 7 it reminded me of the Mansion level with the zombies and the laboratory and then the first level in the story mode reminded me of Halo and I believe this is out before Halo I feel they were kind of poking fun at it though if it came out around the same time I'm not too sure I would like to look into that but yeah this was a great game overall all of them even part one I feel they all should be remade but I feel part one deserved a story and it never got that it only had multiplayer it was meant to be an online game for PS2
That poster you saw on the easter egg part, the month & year is when TS future perfect released but it released on the 21st sp not sure what friday 4th is ?? Also the majority of what you pointed out towards i know already but i will say one other thing besides this being a good video. The cat on khallos's train you can control him whilst you gas the 2 oncoming enemies in that room.
Mr. Gilbert: Thanks! :) And that’s why I made this video because finding Timesplitters Future Perfect easter eggs on RUclips was kinda lacklustre when in reality there’s just so many cool hidden things in this game that nobody ever talks about!
This amazingly edited and researched video makes me really ask myself what the difference between a Reference and a Easter Egg is. You gotta admit, the line between them's becoming more blurred. Ya know?
Sorry for just coming back to you now! But I agree, it's why I separated the film & game references portion from easter egg section just to avoid confusion
Ah I never knew that! Always thought it came from Starship Troopers, well today I learned! I'll make a follow up video and i'll update that then. With your permission, can I credit your name?
21:40 in that area there is a room and a Computer where you can test various things on a zombie in a cage. I think some are: make their heads bigger, burn and electrocute them. Then make them thicch. there are some more but i dont remember right now
so I have a question: is it actually possible to win when playing the slot machine and getting a prize? Maybe a gun drops if you get all the right icons?
xEvox7 Oh yeah during the mutant level? Damn! Well I might have to do a part 2 one day then because there’s just so much in this game I didn’t cover! If the amount of references and Easter eggs in this game doesn’t show how much passion went into the making of Future Perfect, then I don’t know what will 👌
13:17 makes me laugh everytime 🤣
Me as well 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
every time*
Man. As a huge fan of the series growing up, I never realized how badly I needed a TimeSplitters channel. Thank you.
Needs a remake or a sequel
@@Diabeticninja90 100% agree. Would love to relive some epic memories.
Most of the challenges and arcade league levels in the series have references.
9:15 - "Cortez can't jump!" is a reference to a movie called "White men can't jump".
9:25 - "The dead, the bad and the silly" is an obvious spoof of a famous spaghetti western "The good, the bad and the ugly".
Nice job! It's always nice to see people still coming back to this awesome series.
Another thing 9:15 references is the fact that TimeSplitters has never had a jump button
You missed one in What Lies Below, on one of the computers is an audio log by one of the workers that drones on about hearing creepy sounds and him trying to remember a password to his locker but repeatedly fails recollecting. This parodies the abundance of audio logs that contained passcodes in Doom 3.
Sono no way really
Doom 3 scared the shit out of me lmao
I say that’s a stretch..it’s a 7 month difference and we’ll kinda hard to program it maybe within that time
Great video! 20:28, if you press that button before solving the puzzle, the rocket will be launched and you fail the mission
Hahah awesome!
On the victory propaganda poster, I think the girl on the far left is Dr Katje Nadir from TS1.
Actually the "come on, Marines? You wanna live forever?" is a reference from World War 1 by a Marine named Daniel Daly. The original quote was ""Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?""

That evil dead 2 reference had that head laughing a bit too when you came close to it!
this must have taken so much effort to put together. thank you
Learnt a few things on this video, loved that you incorporated the Evil Dead reference, I guess you knew about The Good The Bad And The Ugly reference in the arcade league
I love this channel! As a huge TImeSplitters fan, it's nice seeing channels like this pumping out quality content like this.

Bro this deserves SO many more views I can tell a lot of time went into this
Brandon B. Rich Thanks man that means a lot
Well keep it up timesplitters 2 & FP hold a special place in my heart and I still own them for GC to this day. It’s good to see people making videos for passion and not views!
3:05 "They Live", Carpenter's movie
I can’t believe I missed the friendly zombie! I’ve played that level more than any other, I used to be obsessed with the zombie levels. That’s great!! XD
It's clear that a good amount of work went into putting this together. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Fun to relive some of these small things from a game I haven't played in a long time.
This is such a well made video.
So much effort. The tumbnail, the description, everything!
Appreciate it! :)
another one since khallos express is based off Train is the Green Gas that is also sort of a reference to the Green Gas from GoldenEye Facility if you explode the main bottling room cylinders and don't escape the room fills with Green Gas.
Damn, I never knew this game has that much references. I also never realize you can even get the flare gun in the 2nd mission.
Lol i say there is a bunch of stuff we all.missed I remember always grabbing that flare
Bro, the whole trilogy is like a big spoof of various games and movies. =)
On Khallos Express in the one bathroom (the one the female guard comes out of) you can use your uplink on dirty toilet plunger, and use it to paint any surface it touches a nice colour.

@@Sqdlow No unfortunately, that was waaayyy back in 2006 - 2007 when I discovered that 😟
18:41 The girl on the far left is Krayola a bench woman from the timesplitters 2 “Neo Tokyo” mission
not an easter egg but the very first thing cortez can see when he wakes up from the crash is his future self on the ridge. you dont pick up on it cuz hes upside down.
also on socttland the brave you can see the past version of cortez outside the castle
*I Didn't Know If Counts Like Easter Egg* Some Sounds From Second Sight(Other Free Radical Design Game) Are Re-Used Here Like John Vattic's Sounds
You missed one! The fake cat is driveable. Press the interact button on it and you can drive around with it!
There's two other movie references I think you've missed...

12:16, musician's perspective: The guitar seems to be either a Gibson Les Paul, or Les Paul copy. The Amp to me looks a lot like a Vox.
Woah bruh this video has more information than three years of playing can cover thank you
@@Sqdlow omg u replied thank u so much man!!! :D
I love that you jump around during the organ easter egg when the snake game theme plays 😭
I don't use RUclips much because, I'm always just playing Timesplitters, I can't believe I've only just found this channel!! Amazing videos.
10:14 is either the four monkeys, hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil, do no evil. its the 3rd month, 4x3= 12.. 12 monkeys
Most likely is that Artic Monkeys played in Glasgow that day
In the opening cutscene of the mission "Scotland the Brave" Captain Ash is humming a children's song "Row, row, row your boat".
In zeppelin in the middle room, you can shoot the huge beam in order to open the trapdoor
"Drink a free Hippo before he drinks you"
13:42 is "the warriors" subway scene
Cool stuff! 👀
I love this game
Timesplitters é bom demais
Watching this has made my heart grow and I am excited to get the 2 games already order one of the 3 just wanting the 2nd and 3rd
Great stuff! You’ll have a blast
Even after 17 years, Hans is still the sexiest character in the game.
I still can't get over what the cleaning robot is called xD 7:04
I was expecting to see "Austin Powers" in big writing first moment Harry Tipper came on screen 🤣
So many gamecube memories, new subscriber c:
depressed nothing Bless
We need more of this
Sci Fi, fantasy, adventure, pulp, noir, spy thriller, horror, cyberpunk, steampunk, exploitation films, comedy, drama, action.
TimeSplitters celebrated all of these genre's.
I believe the girl on the far left actually might be one of the hackers from TS2's Neo Tokyo level? She looks a bit like Krayola.
Also, there's an easter egg on the map Hotel out in the courtyard on each wall. On one of the walls is the word "billend". It's slang for cock. xP
There's a number of different easter eggs on Hotel, that I've noticed. I did a lot of exploring using a no-collide cheat.
Bro this was my favorite game back in the day
Holy shit I'm surprised I didn't know many of these although I was a kid when I played this masterpiece
You missed "The Dead, the Bad, and the Silly" referencing "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"
also, the challenge "Cortez can't jump" must be a reference to an old BAsketBall game " white man can't Jump"
if you press the button on the train that will cause tipper to open a panel and get electrocuted. if you press it again the missile goes off I think. you can also shoot a propane tank in the same room to launch it.

If you want to try, shoot a Scif pistol (laser pistol) at the wall to hit you and knock it down, from there from the wall. BRAZIL here!
I just wanted to add that the Sci-Fi pistols firing sound is the same as the Jet Force Gemini pistols sound
Cool stuff!
There’s a doom 3 reference in the maintenance log on the computer when you go into the lab under the mansion that pokes fun at listening to all the logs for locker codes.
The Graeme Norgate's vinyl it's also a refference to Notorious Big
18:39 That's the hacker from TimeSpliters 2, Neo Tokyo mission.
13:15 Hans! 😂💓 This zoom made me laugh hard!
Fantastic work! Must have taken ages to put together!

ThatDeathbringer Bloke knew that
Have you guys ever turned system date to nov4 that date?
I dont own game anymore
Maybe it was a deadline for the developers
on the Khallos express, shooting the puzzle console will cause the missle to be launched
In Khallos express in the office you can interact with the cat doll and pilot it though the level.
with the toilets too
all these years and i never knew you could interact with the environment in disco lol
I've searched for a video like this for years...thank you :D
Mr. Gilbert: Thanks! :) And that’s why I made this video because finding Timesplitters Future Perfect easter eggs on RUclips was kinda lacklustre when in reality there’s just so many cool hidden things in this game that nobody ever talks about!
I would have said that the cleaning robot in FP represents C-3P0 from star wars
The “demonic voices” are not coming from the TV they are all around the level
Had no clue about some of these, great video!
This video brought back my childhood ❤️
Reference to
Kurosawa's high and Low (1963 film) 7:47
The perfect video does not exis...
This amazingly edited and researched video makes me really ask myself what the difference between a Reference and a Easter Egg is. You gotta admit, the line between them's becoming more blurred. Ya know?
Sorry for just coming back to you now! But I agree, it's why I separated the film & game references portion from easter egg section just to avoid confusion
0:20 no it is a reference to WW1 US marines.

and strecht,zombification too
That Michael Rosen cameo though lol
The nostalgia
The Dead, The Bad And The Silly is a reference to the movie The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.
I love this game. The best video bro
Great video
make a video 'bout the characters gallery.
I don't get some of the references
So much work I subscribe interesting where they pulled many stuff from
Thanks man
Back when a love of love was put into making a videogame
Great video, so much effort here! But just as a suggestion, turn the backing music way down. You can't here a lot the dialogue over it. Thanks!
Noted! Thanks for the feedback
@@Sqdlow No problem, you opened up a whole wave of nostalgia with this video. Do you use dolphin for the footage?
i had to come back after all these years❤
😔😔🙏🙏🙏
i love this game
20:47 She is a character from TS1?
so I have a question: is it actually possible to win when playing the slot machine and getting a prize? Maybe a gun drops if you get all the right icons?
Tobias Bruinsma: I won in the video and you get nothing other then some flashy lights on the machine.
@@Sqdlow thnx for the quick response!
So i basically knew about each and every one of these as a kid just by playing except for the zombie waving hi on the elevater 😅
I love these games!
12:40 is an anagram ;)
i dont have the biggest brain around lmao
9:30 a reference to "the good the bad and the ugly"
Lenny Oldburn is a parody of Ozzy Osbourne and has a distinct Welsh accent.
I love your channel
Nice 40 Winks music ;)
corporal hart definitely died xD
21:01 you can actually hear a Cracking sound when he lands with his crotch on the fence.
You missed the reference quote 'game over man, game over' from Alien.
And the quote 'Having problems with giant robots? You know who to call' from ghostbusters.
xEvox7 Oh yeah during the mutant level? Damn! Well I might have to do a part 2 one day then because there’s just so much in this game I didn’t cover!
