How many Easter eggs are buried in Death Stranding? I'm afraid it's beyond count for a while. This article based on the existing information in the game and the player's discovery, sorted out 14 more obvious "hidden" Easter eggs.
1. "Why did you spend so long?"
Mama, the "spectacled mother" played by American actor Margaret Cooley, will initially say this to Sam when she talks to Sam: "Why did you spend so long?"
This meme comes from the game Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes. When Uncle Snake rescues the NPC played by Hideo Kojima, Kojima will complain about Uncle Snake: "Why did you spend so long?" , Ridiculed by players.
2. Poems of Abe Kobo
The poem at the beginning of the game Death Stranding was taken from the Japanese novelist Abe Kobo's Rope. Hideo Kojima was a super fan of Abe Kobo and his work was also deeply affected by it. In high school, he also wrote post-reading feeling article about "Rope" and published it on Twitter in 2016.
3. Heart-shaped bubbles
If you play Death Stranding in PS4 pro 4K mode, you will find that the BB in the nursery will occasionally spit out heart-shaped bubbles. This is because BB saw the characters he liked in the cutscenes.
4. "Salute" from the dead
At the beginning of the game Death Stranding, there will be a dialogue with the dead. On the screen behind him, a word "GAME OVER" will be displayed synchronously. The font used here is basically the same as the font used in the previous MGS series. In addition, the dead man said "Game Over, man!" in the tone used to pay tribute to the iconic lines in Alien.
In addition, the dead also said: "Your friendly neighbor dead", the prototype of this sentence is from the Spider-Man movie "Your friendly neighbor Spider-Man".
5. The Bible
Still at the beginning of the game Death Stranding, Sam and Fragil could see a set of numbers "0914-137" on Sam's "courier service" while hiding in the cave. Some players interpreted this set of numbers from the Psalms of the Bible-Chapter 137, Chapter 9. As for 14 words, there are 14 words in this sentence.
6. Like system
In online mode, if you see the help items provided by others, you can give him a "Like". You can also get the number of likes when you deliver to NPC. This obviously refers to several mainstream social software. Practice, and the blue and white stripe design of the delivery interface is a bit like Facebook.
However, some players think that this is a huge irony. It is this social trend of "likes" for others on the Internet that makes the relationship between people more and more estranged.
7. Birthday
At the beginning of the game Death Stranding, players are required to enter their own birthdays. If it is exactly this day (every day), you will see a birthday cake on the table in the private room, and you will receive a congratulatory email from all Briggs. And when leaving the room, the memory clip opened with the BB will also trigger a special event: Cliff hold a bunch of flowers to congratulate "you" on this special day.
8. Big collection of Easter eggs: memory chips
The 56 memory chips to be collected in Death Stranding are almost all of the nature of eggs, such as various statues of Ludense, the original music of God of War, movie posters such as "Terror Night" and "Seven Samurai", the old Yamaha and Kawasaki motorcycle model.
Think about it, these "antiques" appear in Death Stranding is quite reasonable.
9. Advertising placement
The first advertisement I can think of is of course the "Magic Claw" drink, and there are two others. The first one is on the door of the shower. When Sam takes a shower, he is responsible for coding the AMC TV series Ride with Norman Reedus poster (may not be visible in some areas). The other is when you visit the heartman Apartment in the later period, you will see a special smart lamp in the house which is a product of Dutch lighting company Innr.
10. Horizon Zero Dawn
At that time, the Guerrilla Studio handed over the Desima engine to Hideo Kojima for free, which gave "Death Stranding" a lot of room to play, and let "Death Stranding" appear a lot of Horizon Zero Dawn Easter eggs.
For example, the 3D holographic projection in the above picture is very similar to the large mechanical "giraffe" in Horizon: Zero Dawn. There are no other examples to mention. After all, the two studios are so intimate (co-developed) Death Stranding, then Horizon Zero Dawn also contains Easter eggs like BB, handcuffs, necklaces and others.
11. "Salute" Trump
The "tough guy" in the game Death Stranding has always been committed to the dream of Sam's mother, but also the dream of the President of the United States and Briggs-rebuilding the United States. Therefore, there is a sentence often hung on the mouth of the "tough guy": "Make America Great Again", This was also one of Trump's propaganda slogans running for president.
There is also an ironic egg, which is written in an interview data of "The Doomsday Preparer" "They want to build a fence at the national border to exclude refugees and foreigners". This may be suggesting the thing along the US-Mexico border.
12. Sister's name
When the game reaches the fifth chapter, the player will learn that the real name of the glasses mother Mama is Malingen, and the name of her twin sister is Lockne. The names in Kojima's works are meaningful. These two names are actually taken from the names of the two craters. Two hundred and fifty-eight years ago, two meteorites fell into the territory of today's Swedish land, causing the "Solar System" "One of the biggest disasters in history", these two craters are 16 kilometers apart, and are the rare "double craters" on the earth, and the official names are Malingen and Lockne.
13. "20 Minutes of Love"
This is a black-and-white silent film made by Charlie Chaplin in 1914. When Death Stranding goes to Chapter 8, when the player visits Xinren's apartment again, Xinren will show us his collection, among which Take this "20 minutes of love". Interestingly, the heart person stops beating every 21 minutes, so this short film is also very suitable for the heart person.
14. Manhattan
In Chapter 5 of Death Stranding, players will learn that the first "virtual explosion" of humans occurred in the Manhattan area. Historically, the Manhattan Project of 1942 was the secret plan for the successful development of a nuclear bomb in the United States. It was also one of the key words of MGS. In the original MGS, researcher Otacon admitted that his grandfather participated in the Manhattan Project, while in MGS2 many scenes were also conducted near the Manhattan coastline.
