Could you imagine if our favourite games actually had unfound things?

It came to me today. Here is an example (none of what I am going to say about Tomb Raider II is real, it's just an idea):

Tomb Raider II - A super-secret room in the Temple of Xian that nobody has EVER found. To get there, you would have to go to a secret room which is inside another secret room, which then leads to ANOTHER secret room and finally... a super-secret room. Obviously, by now it would have been found, but it would be a crazy thing to experience. Basically, the developers would have had to have created a secret room that is pretty much impossible to find (you would have to get to the first secret room by something silly such as walk to a corner that is made out of two blocks (as the original Tomb Raider's were) but you have to press the action button 10 times for it to let you walk through the wall basically. So it could lead to a MASSIVE dark room with about 5 T-Rex's in there. Might sound like a silly challenge to take on, but it "wasn't meant" to be found anyway :P.

Another example could be Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I know the Bigfoot thing is all fake, but imagine if it was actually true and somebody really did see it (the first person to say the idea). But there was just a crazy thing you had to do which he never realised he did. Or even just an hidden island after you fly to Liberty City that you can actually access if you used an in-game cheat to spawn an helicopter and fly a certain direction for a LONG time.

These are just two little examples of games that could have "unfound" things. It is probably very unlikely, but who knows? there may actually be a game out there that nobody (or not many) people know about a secret of some sort... it would be amazing to discover something in an early Tomb Raider game like an entrance to a secret level or something, heh :).

What do you guys think of this? is it possible for a popular game to still have something that nobody knows about, or maybe you have some awesome ideas that would be interesting to read, such as the Tomb Raider one? :)

That would be pretty sweet. I've thought of this before too. IfI was a game designerI would want to put something like that in just to see if anyone ever found it so who knows it might have been done before and we just don't know about it.

Batman: Arkham Asylum did that with the Warden's secret room.MAILER_DAEMON

It's been a while since I played it. I would probably remember if I saw the room since I got everything. At least, I think I did. That was just the first thing that came to mind. BranKetra

I know of multiple games like that

But the first one that comes to mind is...

*semi spoiler*

Final Fantasy 6 in all those hidden rooms/stairs chests that are impossible to see and a walk mini quest in the level to the esper world.

oh and final fantasy 8's similar mini quest where you walk around randomly on the map mashing a button lol

imagine in red dead redemption ride you horse for 24 hours in a row and be granted with a new unicorn, faster and more tame than any other horsetheSteeeeels

In Left 4 Dead 2, at The Parish, on the jukebox was Still Alive from Portal

Don't get me started on that Sonic 2 level. I forget the specifics, but there was a secret level you could get to druing the "oil" stage. Spent hours looking with my cousin. Turns out it wasn't in the US version, apparently.

if you own a copy of tes II daggerfall on CD its actually got mroe on it than the digital download freeware version.. bethseda took the time to snip out all the extra stuff that didnt have time to finish..

if you own said disc copy and dig hard enough you can find a few cutscnes some are jsut.. bizarre.

Shadow of the Colossus had a search for something hidden for years. I did my fair share of searching the game as well. Mainly people were trying to find a way to the top of the massive temple where the game starts off (the very top, not the garden area), but also things like leaving the forbidden lands or trying to get to doorways. There are several symbols throughout the game that seem like they should mean something as well. There are actually 4 different symbols that people figured out resembled over the top drawings of locations in the game. Unfortunately nothing was ever found. Drakan11

I don't see what point you are making. This thread is about hidden things in games. People were looking for a hidden way to the top of the temple. If there was an obvious place to grip and climb up, it wouldn't be much of a secret. Drakan11

The idea was there was something we could do in the game that would open up a way to the top, such as shining the light on a certain symbol or taking the torch that you get from one colossus battle and using it somewhere or opening a doorway in the underground shrine that looks like it may lead to underneath the main temple.

The 11th colossus you get a stick and light it on fire, and then you scare it off the cliff. I think somebody tried leaving the area with the stick but didn't discover any other use for it.

And I didn't mean to sound like there might be any more secrets in the game. Those were just a few thingsthat wereattempted, but nothing ever worked. It pretty much has been determined that nothing is left to find in the game legitimately. A few people who play it on a computer through an emulator have glitched there way to a few areas though.

Here is a thread all about it: http://community.us.playstation.com/thread/2267051?start=0&tstart=0

This reminds me about all the famous glitches and hidden things in Zelda OoT back in the day like aquiring the Triforce, being able to walk around inside the light temple, and dozens of other things that were left over from previous versions of the game.

Wasn't there a secret room, in Chrono Trigger, where you could talk to the men behind the game? I think one of them even spoke of a possible sequel, which did happen (just not what I exactly wanted though).

Like the playable masterhand in SSB:B found after 5 years

Sometimes there are secrets that never get found.

In the N64 version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, there is an Ultimate Kombat Kode that went undocumented until a couple of years ago.

In Twisted Metal 2, there is supposedly a way to give Sweet Too a different version of his special. Instead of bounding, it Spirals, like Darktooth's version of it does. The way to make it happen is still unreported.

This was what I was thinking. There were so many unfounded rumors about being able to acquire the other pieces of the Triforce.

It was funny because while playing I managed to glitch Epona into walking up in the sky, but when I tried telling everyone in the chatrooms and forums, no one would believe me (the days before cheap digital cameras and camera phones hehe).

great ideas. :-) i would looove things like these in games. there should be more crazy easter eggs that developers hide. and then maybe a year after launch, someone finds it! and posts a video on the internet. and people are like.. (!) shocked.

did you know that the game 'adventure' for the atari 2600 was the first video game to try something like this? skip to 9:20 to see. the designer hid his name in the game to prove he worked on it. atari back in the day didn't like that designers attached their name to games the studio put out. and this spurred many easter eggs in games over the years.

but your ideas are cool. unfortunately i think it won't happen much because game designers are not the most adventurous types, and far too rational-minded. it would have to be done in secret like warren robbinet did with adventure.

Man, I swear, I'll have to pick up a DS or even better, a 3DS just to play Chrono Trigger on that version. I wonder what else they changed in that game.

And thank you for reminding me how to get there. I remember playing CT when it first came out and I did everything I could to hunt down everything that was to offer in the game, including that ending. That was a real treat to go through! :)

I've read in an OXM that Gears 3 will feature a S*** load of easter eggs. Some, taking "At least a year to find".

Interesting stuff! I didn't read the spoilers, since I wish to know what's going to happen as I go through the game all over again, but it sounds like an experience that's worth the time!
