Did you play Ubisoft's latest addictive video game? if you're one of the many who have explored the world of either of the protagonists of "Watch Dog," you might have observed that the video game maker has embedded a lot of Easter Eggs, just like their highly-successful "Assassin's Creed IV."
On the other hand, the Easter Eggs in the game were somewhat retrofitted to a a particular type of cultural consumer, according to Whatculture.com. As the gaming blog observed, Ubisoft's typical "core" gamer based on the Easter Eggs in the game is a snarky, meme-generating, 'Archer'-watching fan who adores heavy metal music.
Singing Trout
Polygon said that this Easter Egg in "Watch Dogs" could probably be the weirdest of them all in video game history. A gamer could opt to get the "Singing Trout," which would enable the player to take over and force it to sing a profane-riddled gangsta rap song about being a fish in Chicago.
Breaking Bad
The game developers at Ubisoft must have been hardcore fans of the cancelled AMC television series. In a homage to protagonist Walter White, character Galtero Blanco's bio is oddly referenced from the terminally-ill drug maker. His full name is a Spanish variant for Walter White, and his character as a laundry manager diagnosed with terminal cancer is pretty much White's disposition when he once worked in mobster Gus Frings' drug superlab beneath a laundry shop, Whatculture.com said.
'Archer' Characters
Actress Aisha Tyler, who is known for her role as the fiery Lana Kane on "Archer," has appearances all over the game in story mode, and fans of the American animated television series can expect her, for one, working on the phones or talking to other non-playing characters.
Forrest Gump
It is odd that the game developers of "Watch Dogs" have made their NPCs quip the Oscar-winning line of Tom Hanks. Whatculture.com said that the NPCs are among "Watch Dogs' s strongest selling point, as some of them have very colorful characteristics and explains the central theme of the game, which tackles about the issues of being hyper-connected with each other and to the world.
Jumbotron hack
Ever get the itch of controlling electronic signs and posting messages that you want? In "Watch Dogs," players get the opportunity to hack on electronic board signs and bring up new messages, which range from popular to cultural memes, Whatculture.com said.
