If there even is anything behind it.

no

>hey dan, let's draw something on here that doesn't make any sense
>the kids will love it!!

>great mystery/easter egg
>in the era of datamining

no nothing will ever be "secret" for more than a couple days unless they patch it into the game later.

r* have hidden it very well that dataminers are scratching their heads

Because it's fucking nothing. Get over it, the game came out 4 years ago

Rockstar employee here. Of course no one will believe this, but nevertheless:

> Single-player GTA V DLC was planned and worked on; intended to be released in Spring 2014
> Would've added a supernatural/cult-themed storyline and several (now known) scrapped things, like the casino and a number of vehicle types
> GTA Online was a surprise success, people were spending money on it like crazy
> TT ordered us to stop developing the DLC and focus on GTA Online

This sounds believable, but I think if this indeed happen, Rockstar would eventually complete the DLC, would they not? It doesn't seem like them to just completely abandon something.

not true.
triggers and scripts that have been discovered that have a direct connection to the chilliad mystery.

It may seem like that initially, but GTA V has tons of weird little secrets and quirks, that at least give the impression of some overarching mystery. I'm not saying anything is THERE, but people had a reason to believe that it was more than just a joke.

what if the secret is outside the game

>laughing rockstar dev programs red herrings.png

i think you're forgetting something, op

...

No it's like the bigfoot, Rockstar is just fucking with you.

Yes and no. The DLC was originally intended to be for the PS3/360 version of the game.

Around the same time as the shift to focus more on GTA Online, we were given a stiff deadline as to the 8th-generation port of the game. We focused on GTA Online and making sure the PC/PS4/Xbox One version of the game wasn't just a simple HD rerelease.

I miss the times before datamining
Remember all those San Andreas conspiracies? I remember just watching video after video of people speculating all kinds of stuff and looking for reasons

Surprise success? Were they not expecting GTA Online to be fucking huge?

the dataminers cant figured it out because rockstar devs have already planned for it.

100% the chilliad assets are encrypted or under some code name

what does it all mean?

Nah, the crazy shit from trials with the chest under the eiffel tower that will be open in about 100 years is better.

It's not that hard to get around data miner. Just have the end of the hunt lead to a website or something outside of the game, then rockstar could just patch it in.

this game freaks me the fuck out, i stay well away from chilliad at all times

The game came out 4 years ago, and Beast vs Bigfoot was just discovered last year
Why is it so hard to believe that there's more hidden than just that?

holy shit

>X-Files theme starts playing

Mid explaining further?

Isn't that literally a mural of the Area 51 level in San Andreas (the game) ?

In my memories you got into it by first blowing up the AA batteries outside, then going on a roof and breaking a ventilation shaft, then you get the green goo (maybe ? i don't remember if it was in that level or not). And then you get into a silo or something, you find the jetpack and you get out.

That mural seems pretty consistent with my memories.

It's fucking nothing. You won't be alive to even see what's in there.

That's because it was only on the PS4/Xbone versions.

naboo starfighter in rogue squadron

bet you gta6 will also have a ~cryptic and mysterious~ easter egg leading to nothing

what better way to get youtube hits?

beast vs bigfoot proves this wrong.

after the player beats the game to 100%, completes the Strangers and Freaks mission The Last One and finds all 27 Peyote Plants, seven special Golden Peyote Plants will appear, one in a different location for each day of the week, from 5:30 to 8:00 AM with the weather set to Snow (consoles, unlocked only by a cheat code) or Foggy (PC version). This special Peyote Plants grants the player the ability to play as Sasquatch himself. Bigfoot works almost identically to human characters, can drive any vehicles, can use any dropped weapons, and has increased strength. If the plants are eaten in order (from Sunday to Saturday), a dead animal, human or an abandoned car will be nearby. When eating the Saturday plant, the hunter from The Last One will lie dead next to the player, growling after this will cause a howl to sound from the distance, to which the player must follow, starting a hunt of sorts that consists on following a trail of dead bodies. Eventually, the player will arrive at Thomson Scrapyard and growling won't be available, then he should head to a small shack nearby where the very last body will be located, the camera will then zoom on top of a wrecked airplane, where the Beast will jump from, starting a fight. If the player wins, the hallucination will end automatically.

that is very complex and it took from release until 2016 to figure it out.

>release until 2016
Well, next gen release it should be pointed out.

I've been bamboozled too many times by memesters saying things such as SA bigfoot, leatherface, the ugly peasant and the island next to San Fierro existed in my youth to not call this bullshit.

Its totally real actually

>great mystery/easter egg
>in the era of datamining

This is why PC gaming should be ended.

>implying you cant datamine on a console

>still hasnt been decoded

Any new developments on this in the last year?

...

>Week before game releases
>Article
>MAKE SURE TO DO X Y Z FOR THIS EASTER EGG

Datamining isn't omnipotent, just got to encrypt it.

If you set the key as the correct player position hashed for example there is no way to brute force it easily and thus it's save.

>implying you cant datamine on a console

This is why Console gaming should be ended.

Not really because it doesn't exist in the game.

Early last year they broke the 500mil milestone. Half a fucking billion from just GTAO. That kind of success is too big to predict.

I thought this shit got debunked years ago for being confirmed to be related to the easter egg for 100% the game?

If datamining is such a problem why don't devs just not implement their easter eggs as data?

Now I want an elaborate easter egg in a game that ends up revealing a message saying "Buy more ovaltine".

I think the most notable secret recently is

Rayman the great escape. There were something about a last lum. Eventually some dude found a secret room with it or some shit a couple of years ago.

No, this is.

Battlefield has lots of obscure mysterious shit. Like that crazy dev camo easter egg

If you really are a dev can you tell us why you had to make planes and helicopters fly like a drunk man was flying?

Its jarring too because GTAV was supposed to be about stepping away from realism yet here the Sinewave turbulence thing is making flying planes and helis a real pain in the ass.

I had to edit playerinfo.ymt and the handling files to get stable helicopter flight and hover and remove turubulence but planes still jerk and bob and fuck around doing what they want when I'm flying, and I edited the flying values to max too but that still happens.

>not the whole "getting triforce in oot"

Battlefield 3 gets a special mention because I can't think of any other video game that has an actual Sup Forums shitposting easter egg: youtube.com/watch?v=X3z41wvjqno

Man that whole thing was fucking creepy.

youtu.be/b3HkeGNLEU8

There hasn't been anything found in The Last Guardian. There has to be SOMETHING hidden after 10 years

Didn't DXHR have something similar?

Gta 5 has some of the easiest flying mechanics in any game. I play at 30 fps on xbox and it's still super easy to control.

What if the secret is currently only avaible on consoles and once they find it rockstar releases a patch to enable it in the PC version just to prevent dataminers from finding it?

again
>implying you cant datamine on console

...

>casino
>in San Andreas
>instead of just going to Vegas or whatever that city was called in the original
>and posting on Sup Forums
you may be a rockstar employee but you had literally nothing to do with GTA and are probably a janitor or something

Glad it got canned. That sounds fucking awful.

you lose attitude control of your plane at random moments - Rockstar's "Sinewave" motion turbulence simulation feature

>kotaku

lol

You'd have so much source material from charlie manson to scientology to the black lodge of santa cruz to jonestown to work with though.

I guess all it took to turn GTA into an evergreen income monster was to make cars purchasable via microtransaction.
