A video about Costumes Related Easter Eggs:

Fourth Wall Easter Eggs[]

  • Kratos' losing Outro I Will Have My Revenge shows him punching the camera repeatedly. This is very likely a nod at God of War III, where Kratos beats Poseidon to death and the beating is mostly shown through Poseidon's perspective.

    • Raiden: "Let's wipe 'em out!"

    • Emmett: "Good choice!"

      • Unused lines from the game also break the fourth wall considerably, with Radec telling the player to "make them pay", Fat Princess calling the player her hero, Raiden stating that lighting and the Ripper are on the player's side, and Nariko telling the player that she is the player's to command and that they fight as one.
  • Sweet Tooth is seen using a DualShock controller during his Level 2 Super, Death by Missile. He controls the missile using it, imitating the player's input as he does so.

Intros & Outros[]

Others[]
