/vr/ - Retro Games

>>5711413

Solve what? What are you gettign at?

>>5711413
Someone many years ago made a video on a few easter eggs in RE3 and found some references to movies at the time. Including 'back to the future' and 'four weddings and a funeral'

>https://youtu.be/fvhYUzXqiMo

>>5711415
Now the bottom right image in the billboard is from a 1993 film called "A home of our own" that I stumbled upon by chance when looking up Edward Furlong's Filmography.

One of the images looked awfully familiar, It took another few weeks to remember I made the first association with RE3.

Would /vr/ be help me with this 20 year old easter egg hunt?

These aren't easter eggs per se, rather they're pictures to fill in scenes.

They never thought anyone wouuld look at these games clear enough to figure out what they were they just needed pictures that were vaguely human shaped. They just grabbed some easy to get celeb pics from the internet.

>>5711418
This one I thought was the album cover of "Urban Hymns" by the Verve
for a few years back in the early 00's

>>5711423
But surely that makes them a type of easter egg? Right?

>>5711426
More low res images in case anyone remembers a movie or celebrity from 90s.

>>5711426
No an easter egg is put in intentionally. That's just Capcom being lazy

>>5711425
Benny and Joon?

>>5711415
spotted another one, wino from age of innocence

>>5711413
How the fuck do you play these games on a phone. I mean control wise, that looks unplayable.

>>5711542
well resident evil is borderline unplayable with its controls scheme to that might be a perfectly complementary match

>>5711507
Excellent find, Anon!
Howd did you spot it??

>>5711496
Looks promising Im just trawling through google for on that matches.

>>5711429
Ive got a lingering feeling this is Sam Neill from Jurassic Park.

>>5711619
I've just seen lots of movies. I have hints for the other ones too but can't seem to find the exact pics.

>>5711627
Youre a fkn legend anon.
Good job.

What are your hunches?

>>5711627
You reckon its worth cross posting over to /tv/ for this??

>>5711639
sister act or The Bachelor
gary oldman with his wife?
christian bale/ethan hawke?
nicole kidman or alicia silverstone/drew barrymore
nicole kidman and tom cruise from far away

>>5711641
sure why not

>>5711496
>>5711425

Yep found it.

Benny and Joon (1993)

Comin' over from /v/
Top right really looks like Colin Firth to me, this pic is similar but it doesn't match up exactly. I feel like I can recognise the actor in the picture directly to the left too and it's annoying me that I can't find who they are

>>5711750
i dont know. I'm getting an Andrew McCarthy vibe from it

Are all of these pictures from 1993?

>>5711750
Welcome aboard anon!

Yeah! Really close actually! Its either this on the same shoot but different angle or a shot from Pride and Prejudice.

I thought is was that dude from Home Improvement lmao.

Any idea who the one on the left might be? A singer perhaps??

>>5711750
yeah looks like in pride and prejudice 1995 but couldn't be sure

>>5711762
It seems like it actually. There is a bias to the early 90s.

>>5711768
>>5711756
>>5711750

Plot twist its Todd Howard.

>>5711792
poetry, looks like 90-95 romedies/period dramas
who knew, they were big with the japanese crowd

Weren't there a bunch of Kindergarten Cop references in Silent Hill as well? How mysterious

is this a red carpet pic?
do they look Asian or is my head playing around?

>>5711429
Kyle machlachlan? Twin peaks? I swear I've seen this photo but can't find it.

>>5711426
Guy looks like Christian Slater at an awards ceremony but I can't find the photo on google

>>5712138
>>5712182
They fucking used a photo of Alex Mack in one area so you're probably right

>>5712182
Going down the rabbit hole now
and going off what this anon said;
>>5711870
Here is Slater with an Asian girlfriend, not the same picture of course but could def be the right people.
He also stared in Heathers with Winona Rider in this period and it could be her

>>5712202
Here's him in Winny, looking at the original picture I think she's not tall enough though, unless she's wearing heals to the ceremony which would make sense

>>5711553
what fucking retard doesn't get tank controls

Here from /v/. Wishing you guys luck, I've checked them all but don't recognise anybody.

Im looking through the promotional material from Pride and Prejudice and Jurassic park. Ill have more time after work.

It seems there isnt anything past 96.
Perhaps it would be worth contacting Capcom? Though Id doubt they'd care.
It would be handy to know when they finalised the gas station part of the game and work backwards from there

>>5711870
I don't think this is slater. that hair has some frizz to it

>>5711825
I had to look this up.

Holy shit. This made my fucking day.
Gonna reboot SH this weekend

>>5711553
Samus should kill you zoomer

Aren't most of this stuff on fan sites

>>5714274
Some but not all.
If you got links please share them though.

Whang just made a vid on this. Way too coincidental.

1. He made the thread OP to help research his video.
2. He came across this thread and thought it was interesting topic.

>>5716165
did you watch the video? someone linked him this thread

>>5716178

Posted before I even wathced the vid. Yeah, he cites and even quotes from this thread. He was more than likely one of these very posters.

>>5716179
funny how that works out

>>5716195

I knew he got it from here. I was thinking he was gnona pull a youtuber move and pretend he discovered all this himself.

>>5716165
Fuck off, dude. Stop advertising your gay faggot channel.

>>5716165
we got whanged, anything for a buck

>>5716208

>over a million subs
>has to adveritse on 4chan

LOL

Anybody else sees a young Kirsten Durst here? At the time it would be Little Women or Interview with the vampire, so it doesn't match all that much, but I still see her.

You're here right now, aren't you Justin?

>>5716239

He'll check back the thread to see if we can solve more of this and will make an "update" video. This is hwo these youtube guys operate. They treat 4chan and reddit as grunts who do their research for them then they "report" it and then get the ad clicks.

>>5713075
Afaik all of these were not discovered until 2011.

>>5713075
Was the reason for this ever determined?
I assumed it was just "WE NEED KNOW AMELICAN SCHOOR ROOK RIKE, GO GET AMELICA SHOOTY BANG BANG MOVIE WITH SCHOOR TO USE AS LEFELENCE"

That Kirsten Dunst looking one is Ariana Richards from Jurassic Park.

>>5716259
I knew that was mel gibson! The shape of his head is unmistakable

>>5716250

They needed a reference for an American elementary school. Remember, these guys are in Japan after all. "Kindegarten Cop" would seem the most obvious since the title gives away it's in an elementary school.

Getting design ideas from vhs tapes is pretty common back in the day. Simon Belmont is taken from the prologue of Conan the Barbarian film. And the rest o the designs are from horror films of the 30's to 50's.

So if you've ever wondered: Why is Simon a "barbarian" in the middle ages, and why does he wear yellow with some weird head thing? It's because he's based on a scene from Conan the barbarian and the headware is a crown.

>>5716281

>>5711413
>elp solve an easter egg
Sorry. Can't do that, or make a pill to cure retardation and zoomerism.

>>5711870
Pierce Brosnan?

>>5716250
Bruh they even referenced playboy as well, fucking kek

>>5716437
Is that the warehouse at the beginning?

>>5716437
....And dino crisis

>even the tanker crash in RE2

>https://youtu.be/hTwrqDbhL3M

Makes you wonder how many more there are still to find.

>>5716440
Nah this is in the dead factory. After Carlos talks about the nuke.

The dino crisis is in the hoapital lobby, and tanker is in the tram

>>5711553
Imagine not understanding simple tank controls.

>>5711553
You need to have an IQ greater than 90 to be able to comprehend tank controls and be able to control such a game naturally, with zero effort.

>>5716165
His Maddox videos are great, wish he'd do a proper full series on all of it. Hard to recommend a Digibro video to people on why the whole situation is so funny.

>>5716165
>He made the thread OP to help research his video.
This is a common tactic in /vr/. Between the companies shilling their plastic garbage and e-celebs using this as a resource, that leaves us with the only organic threads being arguments ad to why the Snes/Sega is the better system.

>>5716785

Poor Maddox. Guy tried to write a book and spin that into fame and he ignored videos. If Maddox made videos consistently since 2006 he'd be still huge. And he absolutely needs to hit the gym and stop being so scrawny.

>>5716220
>implying these sad sacks of shit don't advertise on 4chan
Kill yourself. Just fucking kill yourself.

Updated list.

>>5718037
I'm just being picky here, but the 6 photo is not exactly the same one. Look at Marty's hat in relation to Clara's hat.
Like it would be from the same photoshoot and everything, just not that exact picture.

>>5718051
You could say the same about number 4 being reversed. But if its overall accurate it shouldnt matter.

>>5716785
It's kind of understandable why Maddox wanted to go after books, writing is his strength and he was also capable of drawing reasonably well, which is much easier to adapt for a book. A video is much trickier to do, and it's obvious his format was quickly thrown together. YouTube's explosion was to him as to what movies with sound were to Charlie Chaplin.

>>5718037
I swear I've seen #8 guy somewhere, in a series about treasure hunting or something
#10 looks like an asian military photo aside from the center person

bump

I think top right resembles Bruce Campbell quite a bit.

Agree that most YTers are shit, but Whang always gives credit & just wants to encourage people to solve internet mysteries. Doesn't number 9 look like Shannen Doherty? 90s were her prime

>>5718508
Where do we email him our names so we can get credited for doing all the work while he gets the views then please?

>>5718508
Hahaha no.

Whang's shit, fuck him.

>>5718508

t. Whang

>>5711413
Fuck off, Whang!

Ha ha, /vr/ no mess with Lo Whang

>>5718508
It's been commented that it could be Beverly Hills, 90210. With Shannen and Luke Perry. But still no photo.

>>5718596
Why is Whang shit?

>>5711429

So fucking close.
(Dante's peak 1997)

Whang sent me here

>>5718037
I thought 10 was A League of Their Own are first glance...

>>5711797
Funny how that works out eh??

Like, some of the films are pretty obscure. Its even more weird that they'd bother putting that much detail in the backgrounf for a sequence thats literally a second long.

>>5720909

The person who made the background just wanted to add some detail by having a board with some pictures on it. They did some quick searching online for some promotional images from films and used them.

This is the real RE mystery image. It's clearly based on a real image or images.

The Heli is untouched but te people were traced over and redrawn as STARS members.

>>5720957
Looks like a real police pic. Possibly from an online news site.

>>5720957
I can tell you that heli looks like a Bell 206.

Your best bet would be to look up the N number in the back thats partially obscured in the FAA registry and see if you get a match.

Look for a period between 1969 to1999 just in case the registration changed.

Oh and the LAPD and police helos use a similar color scheme/decals iirc

>>5721275

Oh, the N number is actually fake. The heli is the one that is shot at and crahses on the roof. You can see the full number is:

>N21RA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uph_tq_2ohQ

>>5721296
Ahhh it wouldve been cool if it was a legit heli.

Good eye though

>>5721358

They erased the actual Heli number and put in the Resident Evil heli's number.

I'm curious if they also went through the trouble of changing the emblam to the RPD's.

>>5711429
I kinda wanna say Michael J Fox for this picture

>>5711418
I remember that movie, damn it puts 'small town folk' on a pedstal.

>>5711542

I cant even play NES games on a Galaxy S8 using a bluetooth PS4 controller. It's a full 1second of input lag

>>5720957
>>5721296
>>5721486
Yep, it's real heli with a fake serial number. I researched this kinda in depth a few years ago. IIRC
>real helicopter
>fake number
>fake paintjob
>the photo itself is very likely a composite of a squad photo and a helicopter photo due to behavior of shadows and scale

Tried using PSView and jpsxdec to try and rip the texture from RE3 but couldnt come up with anything. Perhaps someone more experienced with that sort of thing?

>>5718037

the girl in 9 could be a young Jennifer Connelly, or Shanon Doherty

>>5711429
It looks like there is facial hair there, could it be Magnum P.I.? There seems to be a lot of pictures of him wearing blue collared button down shirts with green foliage behind him.

>>5722371

If Shanon Doherty the guy might be Luke Perry, or Jason Priestley

>>5720179

The guy at the center reminds me of Bill Murray in Space Jam, but the jersey color is different

>>5722382
Jeff Foxworthy maybe? He looks like he's wearing glasses too

>>5718037
8 - Kyle Maclachlan?
9 - Shanen Doherty?

>>5711426
Looks a bit like the guy from The Nanny.

>>5711429
Brendan Fraser maybe?

>>5711442
How is it being lazy? The artist making all this was prob under tight time constraints and found a clever and fun way to speed up the work
