well played Rocksteady
EDIT: 3 years* oops can someone edit that
what an obscure easter egg, where you have to set the date to december 13th [b]2004[/b] to even encounter it.
This is the kind of shit that I would put into games if I made them. The kind of thing that has to be pointed out by the developer because no one else thought of it.
Never would have thought about going to dates prior to the release of the game.
Didn't the previous game also have something similar to this, that took almost a year to find as well?
It involved bombing a completely random wall to find plans for the next Arkham game
given the cryptic way hes going about it could this be a prophecy of what's going to happen on Arkham knight?
What is it with Rocksteady and putting easter eggs in their games that are SO well hidden that the devs themselves have to tell people about them?

Yes, you had to blow up a wall with all 3 Explosive gel charges. The most obscure thing: you couldn't even see this wall in Detective mode, so you had to KNOW you could do it.

because most easter eggs are hidden in plain sight, not obscure as fuck like this like setting your computer/console date to when rocksteady formed, or blowing up a wall that you didn't know you could blow up.
I find it stranger that this wasn't even discovered by someone looking into the gamefiles, you'd think someone would find this soundfile or something

probably hid it in some random file nobody would think of looking in, away from the rest of the sound files
Even though it was a different studio I wonder if Origins has an obscure easter egg aswell, and what Arkham Knight's easter egg gonna be

You're saying it like there might be only one obscure easter egg. there could still be 20 more to find in these games.
I don't get it, what's so special?
2 years is hardly that much time for an easter egg or secret

That easteregg was known long before that in Japan, though. It just took that long for the West to find out about it. At least according to Gametrailers Pop Fiction.
now this is just awesome
in an age like today where most secrets and easter eggs are either datamined or posted everywhere on the internet it's nice to see one that's this well hidden that it takes 3 years to discover it

Nothing will compare with easter egg of Donkey Kong from arcade machines.
It wasn't discovered for 26 years, even the developer himself forgot how to trigger it, and it requied a man to dissasemble the whole game code, and read a good portion of it.

how does that make the example any different? Especially considering there are more that have taken longer

BF3 did this
it was so horribly obscured no one else would've found it without datamining

It could work. He disappears from his cell if you've visited him during every holiday and AK takes place during Halloween.

It took like a month or two at best before the developers pointed it out.

6, actually. Still a pretty decent amount of time.
[quote]We did assume that it would be found eventually and after following forum posts for 6 months or so, decided to announce it in the ‘Game of the Year’ podcast.[/quote]
