You missed one in What Lies Below, on one of the computers is an audio log by one of the workers that drones on about hearing creepy sounds and him trying to remember a password to his locker but repeatedly fails recollecting. This parodies the abundance of audio logs that contained passcodes in Doom 3.
Most of the challenges and arcade league levels in the series have references. 9:15 - "Cortez can't jump!" is a reference to a movie called "White men can't jump". 9:25 - "The dead, the bad and the silly" is an obvious spoof of a famous spaghetti western "The good, the bad and the ugly". Nice job! It's always nice to see people still coming back to this awesome series.
i havent seen any videos on this. but throughout the game you can see future cortezs helping you or even past versions of him , for example on scottland the brave , if you look out the window you can see a past version of cortez outside
Actually the "come on, Marines? You wanna live forever?" is a reference from World War 1 by a Marine named Daniel Daly. The original quote was ""Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?""
not an easter egg but the very first thing cortez can see when he wakes up from the crash is his future self on the ridge. you dont pick up on it cuz hes upside down.
Learnt a few things on this video, loved that you incorporated the Evil Dead reference, I guess you knew about The Good The Bad And The Ugly reference in the arcade league
another one since khallos express is based off Train is the Green Gas that is also sort of a reference to the Green Gas from GoldenEye Facility if you explode the main bottling room cylinders and don't escape the room fills with Green Gas.
i miss this game, such a loss there isn't a new one with online play and map sharing. i look forward to whenever timesplitters rewind comes out. I also remember seeing a tweet by deep silver saying that they're putting free radical back together with dr doak and someone else from the OG team i hope to heard something else about that soon.
Well keep it up timesplitters 2 & FP hold a special place in my heart and I still own them for GC to this day. It’s good to see people making videos for passion and not views!
One of my favourite easter eggs comes in the form of the Arcade stage Venice and how in the middle of the theme it pays homage to; "A Clockwork Orange" with the famous theme "Funeral march for Queen Mary"
I believe the girl on the far left actually might be one of the hackers from TS2's Neo Tokyo level? She looks a bit like Krayola. Also, there's an easter egg on the map Hotel out in the courtyard on each wall. On one of the walls is the word "billend". It's slang for cock. xP There's a number of different easter eggs on Hotel, that I've noticed. I did a lot of exploring using a no-collide cheat.
There's two other movie references I think you've missed... During the story level You Genius, U-Genix, one of the U-Genix scientists being chased by mutants can be heard exclaiming "Game over, man! Game over!" Another obvious nod to Aliens, there. The league match The Dead, The Bad And The Silly is a big callback to the spaghetti-Western film The Good, The Bad And The Ugly One other BIG video-game reference is the call-backs the story missions have to Half-Life and Half-Life 2. The brief appearances of a mysterious figure in the distance during Time To Split (as whom you play during The Hooded Man) are referencing the brief appearances of The G-Man during the story of both games, and the Temporal Uplink's force manipulator is a definite riff on the concept of one of the Half-Life series' most iconic weapons/gadgets, the Gravity Gun
Awesome stuff mate! There's so much in this game , i can only imagine the developers were havin an absolute field day with what references they could sneak in :D
@@Sqdlow Absolutely. I never knew you could pick up the Flare Gun so early in Scotland The Brave. There's probably an entirely separate video in all the references you might glean/miss in the names of playable characters and their descriptions in the Gallery - e.g. Nurse Tourniquet's bandages always being "tight and restrictive" (as a tourniquet should, since it's designed to prevent excess blood loss) or Lenny Oldburn's name and design being a very obvious reference to Ozzy Osbourne
so I have a question: is it actually possible to win when playing the slot machine and getting a prize? Maybe a gun drops if you get all the right icons?
It's clear that a good amount of work went into putting this together. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Fun to relive some of these small things from a game I haven't played in a long time.
When I was playing on PS2 in Training Ground (ts2 and ts3), I fell on the ramp next to the waterfall and, while falling, advanced on the wall and appeared in a bug spot. Does this happen to everyone? If you want to try, shoot a Scif pistol (laser pistol) at the wall to hit you and knock it down, from there from the wall. BRAZIL here!
I can’t believe I missed the friendly zombie! I’ve played that level more than any other, I used to be obsessed with the zombie levels. That’s great!! XD
I wanted to do something like this a while back but I was going to talk about basically how some of the newer games took ideas and concepts from time splitters like for example when playing resident Evil 7 it reminded me of the Mansion level with the zombies and the laboratory and then the first level in the story mode reminded me of Halo and I believe this is out before Halo I feel they were kind of poking fun at it though if it came out around the same time I'm not too sure I would like to look into that but yeah this was a great game overall all of them even part one I feel they all should be remade but I feel part one deserved a story and it never got that it only had multiplayer it was meant to be an online game for PS2
Ah I never knew that! Always thought it came from Starship Troopers, well today I learned! I'll make a follow up video and i'll update that then. With your permission, can I credit your name?
10:14 is either the four monkeys, hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil, do no evil. its the 3rd month, 4x3= 12.. 12 monkeys Most likely is that Artic Monkeys played in Glasgow that day
On Khallos Express in the one bathroom (the one the female guard comes out of) you can use your uplink on dirty toilet plunger, and use it to paint any surface it touches a nice colour.
That poster you saw on the easter egg part, the month & year is when TS future perfect released but it released on the 21st sp not sure what friday 4th is ?? Also the majority of what you pointed out towards i know already but i will say one other thing besides this being a good video. The cat on khallos's train you can control him whilst you gas the 2 oncoming enemies in that room.
I accidentally discovered a glitch/easter egg in the boss fight with crow when he is transformed into the big machine. If you watch the cutscene before the fight begins up until a certain point in the dialogue, then skip the cutscene at that point, crow is able to be killed by one bullet no matter which weapon, whether a pistol or rocket launcher. Came in handy when I played harder difficulties :)
Joshthe CapGuy Wow! Do you have a video showing that off? Because I would love to make a video on that (with credit in the video to you of course, if that’s cool 😁)
This amazingly edited and researched video makes me really ask myself what the difference between a Reference and a Easter Egg is. You gotta admit, the line between them's becoming more blurred. Ya know?
Sorry for just coming back to you now! But I agree, it's why I separated the film & game references portion from easter egg section just to avoid confusion
It really annoyed me that you used the gravity glove thing to launch something off the train during the video game references part and yet didn't comment on the fact that that in itself is a Half-Life 2 reference
" *Why do we have to wear these ridiculous ties!* " Yep you're right it seems pretty obvious to include since its like the main weapon/tool of the game. Rip. If I do make a part 2 i'll be sure to include it
if you press the button on the train that will cause tipper to open a panel and get electrocuted. if you press it again the missile goes off I think. you can also shoot a propane tank in the same room to launch it.
There’s a doom 3 reference in the maintenance log on the computer when you go into the lab under the mansion that pokes fun at listening to all the logs for locker codes.
21:40 in that area there is a room and a Computer where you can test various things on a zombie in a cage. I think some are: make their heads bigger, burn and electrocute them. Then make them thicch. there are some more but i dont remember right now
Wrong term, my mistake hahah. For whatever reason when i made this video I had always assumed "cult film > highly praised by an audience." But that's not what it exactly means, whoops lmao
Mr. Gilbert: Thanks! :) And that’s why I made this video because finding Timesplitters Future Perfect easter eggs on RU-vid was kinda lacklustre when in reality there’s just so many cool hidden things in this game that nobody ever talks about!
xEvox7 Oh yeah during the mutant level? Damn! Well I might have to do a part 2 one day then because there’s just so much in this game I didn’t cover! If the amount of references and Easter eggs in this game doesn’t show how much passion went into the making of Future Perfect, then I don’t know what will 👌
