GT5 "easter egg"
« on: 10 December 2010, 18:58 »
right, apparently, if you happen to have one of the Mines Nissan Skylines, roll it on the roof and take a pic, you'll see that underneath it has a screw and a "made in china" stamp on it!

i shall be trying this later.

I'm sure I saw this posted before, maybe on another forum.

They used die-cast models to aid in some of the designs for the cars. The cars aren't meant to flip over, most of them don't have any detail. However, one car has the same detail as from a die-cast model, including a Philips screwhead and the 'Made in China' visible.

Wow... and that's a "easter egg"

I'm pretty sure the easter egg from Forza was a free car added to your garage. :laugh:

An easter egg is something coders put in as bit of fun mainly for there amusement then the end user. Computer software is full of them, you just may not notice them or are well hidden. There normaly just bits of text or something a bit weird. They dont add to the software at all!

A free car would be bonus/extra content  :tongue:

Fair enough. Thought what with the name it was a seasonal thing. I think T10 gave a car to you each time there was a sniff of a significant time of year. :laugh:

Simpsons road rage was good. At xmas the front end would go all snowy and you could use xmas themed cars for a month!
