new easter egg

I don't know if anyone has noticed this yet, but on the "glass daily news" Aurore talks about a sports team called the "Hale City Hounds" (HCH)



and guess what? It's the pirandello kruger logo from the original mirror's edge!





How neat!

That's awesome. I'm going to keep a lookout for more easter eggs

Easter Eggs in this game is very generic and pretty easy to identify where it came from.
The easiest one is the numbers on the relay box before you pull the chip out.

Yep, it's says "1942". Battlefield alright...

Great find

Here's some more trivia for you: That logo was actually inspired by a Swedish TV star's tattoo:

He is known as "Hero" from the show "Gladiatorerna" (which means "The Gladiators")

Another Easter Egg. I actually knew this after the game was out, but forgot to mention it. A quite unique and nostalgic one. I'm pretty sure that many of you have played mission No. 6, Benefactor.
In that mission, you are required to climb up the building and release the "Crazy huge Pendulum" as mentioned by Faith. This mission has no combat actions as it's meant for puzzle solving.

Now here's interesting. In 1994, Digital Illusions, (Now it's EADICE) have made a puzzle based game for Commodore Amiga where it too have a lead character, and lots of obstacles. The lead character was named Ben. E Factor. And guess what's the title for the game?

Benefactor
Yup, the game also has a great music during that time, and challenging puzzles. Name coincidence? Or similar gameplays in both games?

Good point, perhaps he was the inspiration for more than just the logo.

It's not a coincidence, it is indeed a reference to that game. It's not the first time DICE does it either, you'll find the name Benefactor here and there in some of their previous games too.

Wow, DICE. I like these little homages.
