cobalt impurity posted:In the starting area, in a minibar, in a corner of an area you don't ever have to go to, there is a bucket full of ice cubes you can knock over and watch them melt according to a needlessly complex algorithm. There is no other ice in the game anywhere. Are you serious? I can't find anything about this online.

haveblue posted:Gears of War also had a beautiful rain effect, so it's either a built-in feature of Unreal 3 or a common piece of sample code Epic gives out. I don't remember the water running off the characters in Gear though. Also, if you stand under a stream of water coming off the rooftops it'll splash on the character.

Rocketlex posted:- The long codes to unlock the eggs and key aren't the only codes of their type in the game. There are actually a whole mess of codes just like them (entered by typing CHEAT and then some kind of rhyming sentence) which do all sorts of things, mostly opening levels and making parts of Grunty's lair accessible. For this reason, the theory goes that these "Stop 'n' Swop" codes and all the codes like them are actually debug cheats developers could use to skip ahead and unlock things while testing. This explains why they're so drat tedious to enter. Presumably, a developer would be able to call up some sort of console and just type them in. I'm interested as to why they'd make these codes work in the sandcastle if they're just for debug purposes? I mean, just use the console to do as you please, but they intentionally made them work in the sandcastle for some reason.

fishmech posted:Because it allows you to take a build that's practically ready to be put on actual cartridges and sold and do some last minute checking for bugs when using an unmodified consumer console. Basically the same reason any game that still has debug mode available has it. But most debug modes require outside methods of accessing them anyway, an this is was too cumbersome.

MisterBibs posted:* In the relatively-obscure space sim Darkstar One, all of the systems follow the same 'rule' that most flight sims have: things in the background are always in the background. You can't fly to the nearby planet, for example, even if they do fudge things a bit by making a Planet Sprite a little bigger when close and smaller when far away. There were rumors going around that in one section of the game, the area is large enough that the outlying areas could be slowly traveled to. Surprisingly, it was true; the area in which you fought the last boss was large enough that the faraway asteroid field could be slowly traveled to. Nothing there but mining ore, though, but the sheer length it took to get there was scary as hell. is there a video for this? I love poo poo like this since space itself is pretty drat creepy but to have random things like this in a game adds to it.

Doess Sonic ever run away if you don't move him? I remember reading something about this where if you let Sonic idle long enough (maybe on the first stage?) he'll just run off the screen and the game goes back to the Title Menu. Any truth behind this? I can't seem to find anything.

Blazeing w Hitler posted:Goldeneye 64 beta version somehow still being on the cartridge... that must have been one of the original trolls of the Internet gameing forums because every kid at school insisted that you could unlock the beta version with gameshark or whatever, because the screenshots on the back of the box had different guns and poo poo. Was my middle school the only one with that dumbass rumor? There wwere tons and tons of other goldeneye legends but I forget most of them. I never heard of any beta version of GoldenEye but I do remember reading countless ways to unlock the different Bonds (who I believe are featured on the back of the box). Interestingly enough, the textures ARE in the final product just not accessible via GameShark.

trandorian posted:I kinda doubt that if they're actually on the cartridge they're not accessible with the GameShark. You probably can't get to them with any codes that are easy to input using just the controller, granted, but as I mentioned the GameShark Pro for N64 allows computer hookup so you can send over thousand line codes if necessary to get what you want. That was a really bad typo on my part and I just noticed it; they are accessible via GameShark.

Pon de Bundy posted:But on another more spergy note, it was alleged that Ganondorf and his Gerudo was a criticism of Arab culture and misogyny, as Ganondorf is the only man around and allowed to mate freely with all of his desert harem. Thinking back. . .They all did have stereotypically large "Middle Eastern" noses, so did Ganondorf. . . They also live in the desert wear clothing that looks middle eastern, their temple features a giant statue cast in the side of a mountain and the item you get from it features a cresent moon and star, which is an Islamic symbol. So yeah, it's easy to see the connection.

computer parts posted:Apparently this is actually confirmed in Skyward Sword, at least by my perusing of the Zelda wiki. This is true, but there are games that share the same Link. RyuujinBlueZ posted:I always looked at it as being the same Link, and either the Lost Forest poo poo was bull or being Hero of Time gives him an extra bit of protection. Especially since he apparently had some more Time Heroing to do in Termina. The game never explains how one turns into a Stalfos or Skull Kid, it just states thats what happens if you become lost in the forest, so if Link were to hypothetically become lost I'm sure he'd still be able to turn into either of those things. And it might just be "If you die in here you come back as a monster" kinda thing.

If there was any evidence that this was the case then, yeah, maybe I'd buy it but everything is just "Well, this COULD be it!" even though the game doesn't hint at anything like that. Either way, we should let this thread die and just jump this conversation to the Zelda thread and annoy people with it there.

So rather than post some lame video game fanfiction with some dumb horror twist, Pop-Fiction released another episode about the NES titles in the GameCube Animal Crossing and how some of the NES titles are in the game but the game has a check to make sure you can't access them thus making the two best titles impossible to unlock.

Red_Mage posted:Didn't the game have battery backup? I mean one integer that increments by a random amount everytime that say, the player presses a button, would not be hard to slip into a save file. At startup check the save for said integer, if it matches a magic number presto. I don't think it had battery backup, I think the memory is just saved in the RAM; same with Sonic 1, you could get a Chaos Emerald in the first stage hit reset and play the first stage again to get the next one and rinse and repeat for every Emerald before you even get out of Green Hill Zone.

Not a hoax, but I remember people online talking about hidden outfits. I believe this is one of the Trophies. cobalt impurity posted:Reminds me of all the speculation in Melee because the official artwork for the game sometimes showed Ganondorf with a large sword that he never actually uses for attacks. I think he pulls it out for a single taunt, but never to actually attack, and I don't recall there being a game where Ganondorf used a sword up to that point. It's one of his win animations, and it's the sword he used in the Spaceworld demo Nintendo made for showing off the GameCube's power: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEF9Utdu-L0
