- Video game Easter eggs are usually harmless references that aren't meant to offend anyone, however, in some cases the whole point of an Easter egg is to take a shot at another game.

captain eggcellent, dying light 2, doom, resident evil, gaming
I actually like the “legally distinct” names of Leon and Chris, as “Leon Keenedy” and “Chris Bluefield” are both still referencing their Resident Evil counterparts while also poking a bit of fun at Capcom’s lawyers getting angry at Techland over this Easter egg.
It was not the easter egg per se, but the name used for the 2 character, since they are copyrighted it didn't matter the character model or the context, but they used the "appropriate name" so it started the lawsuit
@@gasseliki dont understand though, it clearly wasnt the same characters, just an homage
@@jamespaul6315 the fact is that, even as homage, unfortunately, without the proper license for using those two names techland incorred in a lawsuit. They simply responded to Capcom "we change the name don't worry and sorry".
@@gasselik i had no idea you couldnt even use it. As a parody name or easter egg. Sucks
There's no Fair Use exception in Japan
Funny how they mocked the Doom Slayer in Duke Nuke 3D, and years later the Doom Slayer is still famous while Duke Nukem is pretty much forgotten.
they put the sequel Forever on the backburner for yrs to later tank after release people later forgot bout it.
Duke is "forgotten" if you're 13 lmao
It’s not forgotten tho, it’s just not mainstream, not obscure either.
Duke is making a comeback. The REAL Duke Nukem Forever we all wanted to play is being worked on now as we speak. It's going to be a hit and then it's going to peak Duke Nukem interest in the public again. Let's hope this comment ages like fine wine 🍷
I think a better way to describe Duke Nukem is "fallen out of relevancy" rather than being forgotten. A lot of gamers still remember the games (I'm 19 and was born in 2004, so most of Duke Nukem was way before my time and I still know about the game series), but it's not talked about in regards to modern day gaming because it's just not really present, unlike Doom which have had muiltple critically acclaimed games in the past few years and is getting another sequel.
I remember seeing something outside this comment thread that stated that another Duke Nukem game is in the works, so while I don't know if that's true or just a rumor, if it is than maybe Duke can be relevant again. But for the time being, Doom is just far more relevant in modern gaming culture than Duke is, which is why it seems a lot more people talk about Doom Slayer.
GTA San Andreas has an easter egg for Driv3r. Theres a mission where you need to sneak into someone's mansion, and you walk by two dudes playing a game, and they say something along the lines of "Damn reflections really messed up, Tanner you suck!"
They also mock Tanner in GTA III, well, you actually do more than mock him...
You chase Tanner in GTA 3 and kill him, he also has the female run animation to make from of the running animations for him in Driver.
@themisfitbrigade that's Vice city ain't it?
@@Prod.ByDizzynope, its the mission two-face tanner in gta III
@MatheusCamargoSx my bad but I swear there's also a VC mission that parodies this and gives him a female walk animation too, in the mini outside mall
4:15 if you interact with the payphone you'll get a NSFW moaning and Duke can be heard saying "Ooh Lara, is that you?" Also a Tomb Raider reference.
HE FEATURED YOUR EASTER EGG
@@Soundwave-115where
Episode 3 of Duke 3D takes a shot at Quake as well. An earthquake will occur, with Duke stating: "I ain't afraid of no Quake."
It's also a Ghostbusters reference, which has its share of unnatural earthquakes.
Power armor is for pussies
Jesus is Lord
@@michaelandreipalon359 The 1982/1984 Ghostbusters movie? That only had one unnatural earthquake that tried to swallow the Ghostbusters? There's no way Duke Nukem 3D could've referenced the 2021 Ghostbusters movie.
@@stephengrenleski1972 Yep, that oldie but goodie movie. Also, in a sense, the Real and Extreme cartoons, which have the occasional quakes again.
I love that Snake isn't even offensive, and is friends enough with the other titular characters to call them by first names..
Also unusual for MGS 3 the guy on the codec is colonel Campbell who
Would usually be replaced by Major Zero
The Roach reference is not only about Roach but about a certain stuffed unicorn that was used for... things, ahem...
I was just about to type this exact comment about the unicorn scene
Could you give me some context? Never played Witcher :(
@@KrzychuYea this is actually not from the games from the original books, but adult fun time on the back of a taxidermied unicorn
For no reason I thought he talking about Gary Roach from cod og mw2.
Also it's Geralt of RIVIA, not Riviera
Chris Bluefield and Leon Keenedy had me howling. 🤣🤣🤣
Geralt of *_Riviera_*
Married with Yennefer of Hamburg
I can hear the sound of face palming already. It is Rivia 😅
Yes sir 😎
ENGAGEMENT ERROR
I nearly died
The MGS3 easter egg reminds me of that Cutscene from one of the Ghost Recon game where Sam Fisher learns he's the last of the Stealth game heroes. I believe he references Snake in that same cutscene by calling him the guy with the eyepatch, although I could be wrong in the wording
He mentioned Bandana and it was nice call back.
"There was this one guy though, "Army Infiltration". He wore a...bandana or something..."
Ghost Recon Wildlands. I remember that game.
Finishing Episode 2 in Breakpoint, Sam Fisher will call Nomad a "snake eater" while asking him to join up with Fourth Echelon.
It's actually really sweet how Sam and Snake reference each other a few times in games. In the first splinter cell game there is a guard you can interrogate and he says "it's not like if you shake me, ammo will fall out of something"
I think the issue with Dying Light 2 is that they're using the exact name instead of parodying it as reference, which might even be copyright issue.
The moment you said "three Duke Nukem easter eggs" I knew what the last one was.
Dunno why, but Duke's insults always manage to live rent free in my head.
Given that the first one was the Doom-ed Space Marine from 3D, I thought the last one was going to be the Dead Space Marine (i.e. the dead GDF soldier wearing a helmet reminiscent of Isaac Clarkes' from Dead Space) from DNF.
Bc he IS the king! My first 2D shooter was duke nukem 2 on dos or the first windows version. Now i bought the game on steam xD.
6:30 And by contrast, there's a great tip of the hat in Ghost Recon Wildlands, where you meet Sam Fisher.
Sam: "Yeah, they don't make 'em like me anymore. There was that other guy, though, the one that wore the bandanna all the time."
Other character: "Oh, he retired."
Sam: "Really?" (sounding and looking genuinely devastated): "...Then it's only me..."
I would say that one is a bit more sincere to be honest (although it was during the time during the fallout between Konami and kojima although that one is a more died down in more recent years)
Sam Fisher's mostly true cameos and with occasional appearances (maybe one day new game one day)
METAL GEAR SOLID DELTA IS COMING
Although the only one I feel like truly lives nowadays is Hitman
Also there's one more but that company shut down for personal reasons (but kind of wish they never shut down)
@@changsiah2Arkane Lyon is still around at least, so we could still get another Dishonored title someday.
Dang fr?
@@gho5tspartan26yt Yep. A few people have uploaded that scene to YT; I'd recommend looking it up if for no other reason than Michael Ironsides' delivery of "Then it's only me."
I just love how Duke nukem is out for blood against these other video game characters as if two of them couldn't take him out
The duke nuke em references were tasteful given the tone of the games
Just wait until Saturdays video lol
At least, until Duke Takem Forever showed up.
When i saw this title of Easter Eggs That DESTROYED The Competition i was thinking that i'd be something big, and it's just: "Duke called George Romero a poopyhead, pretty neat."
I mean, using the RE characters' real, full names was pretty stupid
Especially if you don't have the creators permission to use it in your game
I mean, realistically, it wasn't full names, doesn't Leon have a middle name?
So, just physically a dude named Leon Kennedy isn't the same as Leon S. Kennedy or whatever name he had in the middle. Although would be funny if Leon Kennedy was the brutish guy and Chris Redfield was a twink
Doubt it's that serious. It's japan being japan lol.
Is also own right those characters names
@@watchmehope6560its actually IP infringement which is why you don’t see people do that.
They flew to close to the sun.
There was a Tanner nod in GTA3, Vice City and even San Andreas. In SA there was even True Crime reference. New editions of Duke Nukem got a Serious Sam reference, original Serious Sam whistles Indiana Jones theme… but one of my favorites was in Ghost Recon Wildlands when Sam Fisher realises that he is the only one left…
The ape escape series was the best!!! I love that you can play MGS as an ape!
stuffing the horse is probably a reference to the stuffed unicorn scene with Yen
In Ghost runner you can also find a dead body with a rooster mask, referencing Hotline Miami. There is also a funko pop doll of your character hidden in a vent, wich made me think of the Doom 2016 figures collection.
The original Shadow Warrior, from 97, also had a Lara Croft Easter Egg. In fact, there are two separate versions of the Easter Egg. Both versions have Lara Croft chained to a wall, with Lo Wang saying "She's raided her last tomb!" In the original shareware version of the game, this Easter Egg had Lara's clothes almost completely torn off, leaving her half naked. She also had large, anime styled eyes. However, later versions of the game changed this. Her pose while chained up was different, and she looked more on brand with her design. She was also fully clothed.
It's been a while since I played Duke Nukem 3D but I'm pretty sure in one of the levels there's an earthquake and Duke says something like "I ain't afraid of no quake.", which is clearly a jab at id Softwares game of the same name, which was released just a few months after Duke.
Driver 3 looks like the kind of game a movie uses for a scene where they need to use a game that's unlicensed so they can use the footage without being sued
I want Leon in Dying Light 2 to become a Player skin when Tower Raid becomes available.
"Destroyed the competition"
Doom is still going strong, while Duke Nukem is forgotten.
“Geralt of Riviera”. His daddy’s a Duke in Velen 😂.
Pretty sure the line in the witcher easter egg about the horse being stuffed is also a reference to the fact that they reference in game (not sure about the books) that they have some sort of kink with a stuffed unicorn.
Also Ape Escape 3 had a mini game where you played as a monkey version of Solid Snake called Mesal Gear Solid. Was pretty awesome
9:25 Geralt of Riviera? Who's that? A pretender of Geralt of Rivia? :P
Although I doubt Yennefer would have suggested anything for Roach, she's not a unicorn... That's what was hinted by the easter egg. Those who know, know.
Is that the guy from Netflix?
Duke Nukem trying to beef with every character who could tear him inside out is hillarious. Including lara
It's absolutely hilarious that Duke is taking shots at 3 video game icons that can absolutely destroy him in a fight when he himself is more egotistical than most of the characters in video games and that saying something.
I'd say he can take Lara in a fight. The other two would crush him though lol.
Nah he can take Lara but the other two would kick his ass if they had too. Doom Guy probably wouldn't bother though.
He wouldn't even last enought to find MC or DoomGuy before diying in their universes
In the game "Blood", on the carnival level, behind the high wire is a secret where you can find duke nukem and your character says "I ain't got time to play you"
I really like how the stealth shooter genre games referance eachother so often. It sometimes makes me imagine this fantasy world where they all have actually met at one point in time or another
The Block Strike one is the equivalent of an elementary school kid mocking one of his teachers for making a typo on the board
I don't know if you've ever covered this one, but you should cover the boundary limit animation from Splashdown Rides Gone Wild. The player gets thrown by a Kraken. There's a few other easter eggs/references in that classic too.
Here's one
In dying light 1 there's this fountain in the second area that you can fill a coffee mug with water, after that your character will pull out a phone and take a selfie with the mug. This is a jab at destiny who partnered up with Red Bull to have exclusive rewards like a mission and XP bonuses, the developers techland would pose a similar promotion poking fun at Bungie
In blood you can find an upside down duke corpse,when interacted caleb swings it around saying "uh shake it baby!"
Gerald of "RIVIERA"☠☠
Wait i just thought about it, he did it on purpose so that we comment on it, okay bro is a genius
Can't wait For Albert Wisk, Barry Burnton, and Jill Fawntine
Dying Light trying to riff on RE is like a New Edition cover band trying to riff on Michael Jackson.
Hello Capitan! Here’s an Easter egg for you: In Borderlands 2, one of the side missions given by “Tannis” called “Splinter Group” as a pretty nice Easter egg that I think could be used for the over used Easter egg of the week section!! Btw, big fan of the vids :))
You missed the *other* Lara Croft reference in Time to Kill, granted I'm not sure how well you could show it on RUclips. In the subways you can find inteactable public phones. The result is a series of rather explicit moans, followed by Duke commenting, "Lara, is that you?" :-)
Next video 😉
But still, you know the character reference 5:51
Geralt of Riviera. Sounds like the fancy AU version of Geralt lol. I love you Eggs
About the Roach Easter egg, the idea of a horse being stuffed is also a joking reference to Yen and Geralt's kink with stuffed unicorns.
Talking about duke nukem, you forgot that Blood has an Easter egg of Duke died upside down
In every capcom production featuring leon s. Kennedy there is a zombie version of him hidden somewhere
that ghostrunner fall guy easter egg is genius, one of my favourites :)
In Duke 3D : 20th anniversary World Tour, there's a similar easter egg to the Doom one where Duke can find a corpse of Serious Sam and says the line "Why so serious, Sam?". This easter egg is possibly a reference an the easter egg from Serious Sam 2 where you can find a Duke Nukem skeleton hanging on a tree with a rocket shove up the butt, to which Sam says "Dude, you've been hanging here, like, forever!"
Geralt "L’aqua la fa mêl, e’ ven e’ fa cantê" of Riviera, with a piadina in his mouth, and "Romagna mia" in his heart.
I find it ironic how Duke Nukem made fun of DOOM, Halo, and Tomb Raider, and also implying that DOOM would die and Duke Nukem would reign supreme as the FPS king.
Now the Duke Nukem franchise is dead, while DOOM is still going strong with a new game releasing in 2025, Halo Infinite (2021) is still getting support, and Tomb Raider just recently had a remaster collection of the first 3 games.
You mention the Driv3r reference without previously mentioning that Tanner appeared in GTA III!?!?!?
What a sinner...
What about The Witcher 2 and Assassin's Creed? You can find a dead Altair lookalike on a pile of hay with Geralt commenting "guess they'll never learn".
my favorite dig at bad company 2 was that it was squeezed between the 2 best cod games. MW2 which sold 4.7 million copies on launch day alone (compared to BC2 selling 5mil in a year), and in the same year BC2 released Black Ops 1 released... which sold 5.6 million copies on launch day and is still the most sold cod as far as I know. As a fan of all the games I can admit BC2's campaign was a bit ass (I replayed it a few months ago and regret breaking my rose tinted glasses).
I heard that in God of war(2005) David Jaffe wanted to put a small fairy like creature like that from Zelda which would show Kratos how to use his weapons and magic, and after teaching you the basics it would be instantly killed of in a brutal way!
You're telling me Chris stopped a boulder, and then punched it, and rolled it away, on what seemed to be an active volcano?
I'm surprised you didn't mention the corpse of Jacket from Hotline Miami in Ghostrunner, which both games are hardcore and very difficult.
8:56 The Horse "Binky" could also be a reference to Terry Pratchetts Discworld Novels. Binky is a white horse owned by Death.
According to the wiki this is true, in fact, all of the horses in Kingdom Come Deliverance are named after horses in other media or mythology like Epona, Sleipnir and Shadowmere too.
it's funny how Duke insults the games that still exist today, whereas in other hand..
feels like BC boys are just salty that they don't have such budget and techs for missions..
kek
I remember how Duke Nukem Forever was taking so long to be released that the developers of Serious Sam 2 added an easter egg where you can find an skeleton that looks like Duke hanging from a parachute and when you aproach it Sam says "Dude, looks like you have been hanging FOREVER" or something like that.
7:28 my Siri picked up when you said series
Yo at 1:14, the mobile game “Block Strike” I played that before when I was younger! I remembered playing that game so much and had hours of fun on that! Last I heard it got removed from the play store and never could’ve found it again, how did you get that game?? I thought it was gone forever!
Hidden detail:
In MGS1 after regrouping with Meryl if you went to 1st person and look at her face long enough she will start to become red like she's blushing
the fact that capcom got butthurt over names they cant trademark is funny
When you said “this power armor belongs to” I accidentally went back in the video to when duke said “p*ssys” so it said “this power armor belong to P*SSYS”😂😂
“Geralt of Rivierra” 😂
Hey captain eggcellent I just want you to know that I very glad that your videos exist I have known and watched you since 70k and know you are almost at 1 MILLION. I can’t be more further happier for you. Wishing you the best cap!
2:46 never realized how much he looks like Price
Lmao the Roach one is great…we all know what they did on that stuffed unicorn
There is 3 easter eggs in Duke Nukem Forever. You can find Halo, Dead Space, and Borderlands
The Snake vs Ape/Monkey is not even an insult. You're just pushing it. The game mode is a crossover with another franchise. Since both Syphon Filter and Splinter Cell are inspired by MGS, these games being referrenced is just a throwaway.
Leon Keenedy died and Chris Bluefield kept punching till he's become a zombie and later on Sam references Snake is retired on the Splinter Cell DLC
6:12 & 6:27 The way Snake says “Mission” & the way Chief says “Snaaake”.
Its funny the game company for Duke make fun of these other games but each game is more successful then theirs also the mobile game that looks a 2 year old made it making fun of cyberpunk is kinda ridiculous especially when it still made millions and look how the game is now. When I played it on release I barely got any bugs.
There are 2 video game Easter Eggs in the chapel of the Duke Nukem 3d level 'Death Row'. The first Easter Egg is the Doomguy from Doom, but the second Easter Egg in the chapel is that of the monk from the game Rise of The Triad, hanging from the rafters and when you shoot the monk you'll get atomic health.
I remember dying at that cutscene from Bad Company 2🤣
Capcom should have just laughed back despite them having power over the names or just do a shot back imo. it is funny
6:40 I loved that Sam paid homage to Metal Gear Solid in their game specifically Solid Snake since he retired
Nah that Dying Light stuff was straight up copyright infringement, that was actually Leon and Chris they put in the game lol.
5:26 Chris use “Boulder Punch”, it was Super Effective.
8:38 After Driv3r, came GTA San Andreas. And in the game, in San Fierro you can find the Opposition Memorial with the words RIP Opposition (1997 - 2004). This, according to the Wikia, is a reference to that the release of San Andreas in 2004 "killed" the opposition, the competition to GTA like Driver and True Crime, that have come and gone since the start of Grand Theft Auto in 1997.
Also, someone else pointed out the reference in Madd Dogg's Rhymes mission where a guy playing a video game threw his controller and shouted "Tanner, you suck!"
I think Serious Sam did a whole bunch of easter egg insults to other games...in one specific I remember them poking fun at "the Duke", a skeleton with blonde hair 🤣
5:27 Chris Redfield from Resident Evil 5 ? now THAT'S disrespectful
For the Witcher Easter egg when the guy says “his wife may want to stuff the horse” it is reference to when geralt and ye Ofer used a stuffed unicorn as a bed for sex
In Driv3r, if you kill all the fake Tommys, you'll unlock a door to a secret bunker full of weapons. Shame you didn't mention it 😅
Duke trying his hardest to make up for not ever being in a good game
You mention Duke Nukem 3D being up against Quake, then make a Doom reference when there was a much more obvious Quake joke to be had. There's an earthquake during one level (been too long, can't remember which), to which Duke quips, "I ain't afraid of no quake!"
The roach joke has more to do with the stuffed unicorn scene. Easter egg from Witcher 3.
If I remember correctly Sam Fisher makes a passing reference to Solid Snake, where Sam is now the last active infiltration specialist
Awesome! Thanks for suggesting my video!
Its so funny and ironic that Duke Nukem poked fun of other franchises and those same franchises are still around and kicking more than a decade later since the Duke's last game
7:20 looks like that fall guy didn't qualify
The witcher Easter egg can also be seen as an Easter egg to Yennefer and the stuffed unicorn
Sir Eggscellent, you know about a game called Wuthering Waves, right? It's a recently released direct competitor to the long-running Genshin Impact, it has a ton of easter eggs, and I wanna think that maybe one or two of them make fun of Genshin
Gerald of Riviera... True game journalism
Its a joke referencing an Easter egg from Arcade Paradise
Years ago, I lost my shit when playing Duke Nukem 64 and discovered the Master Yoda captured Easter egg.
I cant believe you mentioned MGS's nod to Sam Fisher... but left out Sam's nod back to Snake after MGS series ended. great vid tho!
Syphon Filter 1 was the first video game I ever played. Still one of my favorites, amazing trilogy,
So I'm not sure if this is accurate but I think during your MGS Easter the person saying "if you don't do this who will" is a Easter egg to Dragon ball z wrath of the dragon movie where Goku says "if I don't who will" as he delivers his final attack dragon fist on the villain hirudegarn
In Ghostrunner, They also took a hit on payday. Which They made it looked like Jacket was Killed by Keys mercenaries
