Сегодня что-то накатило желание похихикать, так что решила послушать ещё комментарии в DXHR. Вообще Хенгшу не особо люблю, потому что для топографического кретина этот уровень смерти подобен, особенно когда надо что-то искать на крышах, но комментарии тут пока зачётнейшие. В частности, разрабы признались, что и сами постоянно плутали, и именно поэтому поставили указатели (которые нихрена, блин, не помогают в большинстве случаев, потому что не учитывают переходы вверх-вниз-в другой район).

Но моя любимая история - про гигантский хот-дог и 3D-горчицу, конечно. И отсылка к Demolition man с ракушками прикольная, не заметила бы сама. Они почему-то вместо "petals" говорили "pedals" - остальные оговорки и корявости сохранила, а вот это не выдержала, исправила. Плюс я почти уверена, что охранник чесал задницу именно перед гигантским хот-догом, но чего-то на снимках экрана этого не было.
Эпопея с хот-догами и лепестками роз.Жак-Белльтет: This is one of the many Easter eggs in the game and this is taken from Demolition Man. <...>
Дюга: ...But Thomas and Hubert were very good at putting a lot of more odd stuff in the map. Such like hot dogs if you remember, especially in Upper Hengsha, we had this massive hot dog!
Жак-Белльтет: But the story, the reason why there's a massive hot dog is an amazing story, because we had the hot dog stand in Detroit, right, to sell the hot dogs and needed a little hot dogs, you know, modeled. And whoever modeled them, the mustard on the sausage was actually modeled, it wasn't like a texture or whatever, it was like 3D mustard for a thing that took three pixels on screen. So we had such a great laugh that they blew it up, you know, they made the hot dog really big to show that, "look, even that this size you can see the mustard."
Дюга: So yeah, kids, if you are studying to be in the games industry, never do this kind of thing, never do that!
Жак-Белльтет: Never, if you have to do mustard, do not model it, alright? Use a texture, please. Or wait, like, two or three console generations at least before you model it. But yeah, so they ended up like they would hide that hot dog in a drawer, not drawers but closets, so you would open closets an the hot dog would be there...
Дюга: Like, suprise! He hid it in the roof, the floof as well.
Жак-Белльтет: Yeah, Antoine, there's something you ran into in Upper Hengsha, there was a guy, was walking or something...
Тисдейл: Yeah, there was like a catwalk somewhere and there's a guard walks up to it and scratches his ass, like, "I don't know what that is". And he turns around to just come back and, "huh, still don't know what that is."
Дюга: And the thing is that, we thought for a long that they were still in the game but they have been removed.
Тисдейл: It became a hunt. It's like everybody's like, "I think I saw one somewhere and I don't know where I found it."
Жак-Белльтет: I wish it would left at least one, and also are the petals still there? The rose petals, because there was an apartment either in Upper Hengsha or Lower Hengsha, you'd be in a living room and there was like this path of rose petals and you'd follow it and get into the hallway, and it stopped in front of a closed door, and you open it, it was a bedroom and the petals going all the way to the bed.

К слову о пасхалках, которые бы я сама в жизни не заметила, - оказывается, в Хенгше коды от гаражей можно было найти на стенах рядом с гаражами - это подчёркнутые в каждом ряду четыре цифры. Мне такое очень понравилось в "Сариф индастриз", когда пароль был рядом на стикере, а тут вот профукала.
Тисдейл: I worked so hard to find these bloody codes, they are what... they're just there! I didn't know abouot this.
Демарл: I don't think a lot of people on the team knew.
Ciciola (я не рискну это транскрибировать): One of the interesting things about that little Easter egg is that it gave us a secondary way to give a code that was not a pocket secretary which, as designers, we kind of had gotten fed up with the pocket secretary.
Демарл: An as writers who have to write them, so did we.
Ciciola: So, exactly, we were a little fed up with people for accidentally forgetting their codes and leaving their pocket secretaries to be found, so this was a fun way to do it.
Тисдейл: Smart little bastards.

Ещё Мэри рассказывала, что на компе Мельника можно найти письмо от хакера, у которого есть транскрипт разговора Пейджа с иллюминатами из заставки, но чего-то пока не могу подтвердить или опровергнуть, то это письмо или нет. Надо не забыть пошарить повнимательнее.

Про папу Тонга прикольно, что изначально он был совсем эпизодическим персонажем, но потом из сюжета выпала Индия, и пришлось работать с тем, что есть. И его хотели сделать сотрудником службы безопасности "Тай медикал", который держал бойцовский клуб.
Хотя забавнее обсуждение телепортации папы Тонга в подвал.
Дюга: What was it about the... if you were in the conversation, like, Tong teleports to...
Ciciola: Yeah, we had a big problem with Tong, Tong's magical teleporting act that he had.
Тисдейл: It's an augmentation.
Ciciola: Well, it was basically when you'd finished the conversation with him, he would stay at the bar, and when you'd go down, I believe it's regardless of whether you win or lose, he would teleport to his office. Whether you spotted him from the vent and voyeuristically watched him, or if you actually took a win, he would be there, and you would be like, "How did he just get from downstairs so..." So we actually added the stairwell you see right behind Tong's bar upstairs; we added this doorway that was locked, with a stairwell leading down to the basement, to sort of credibilize that.
Дюга: But you can't use that door.
Тисдейл: You can. <...> It's a level three or four password.
Ciciola: Yeah, it's a high-level hacking, if I recall.
Дюга: And if you hack it...
Ciciola: He teleports.
Тисдейл: Yeah, he still teleports.


А, ну и ещё в Детройте забыла выписать про посещение женского туалета.
Дюга: So for the old fans of "Deus Ex", for us it was just a way to pay homage to this kind of similar scene in "DX1," and...
Жак-Белльтет: ...and pay homage to perverts.


Жалко, историю про то, как они актёра Дэвида из отпуска где-то в тропиках выдернули и нашли там для него студию звукозаписи, потому что им срочно понадобилось, чтобы он перезаписал реакцию на действия Адама в самом начале, не запротоколировала. Остался только прекрасный образ.
Szczepkowski (ноуп, тоже не буду транскрибировать): So we were able to do it that way, and I guess he showed up in Bermuda shorts with coconuts in hand, and he did it and we got through it.
