One thing I'm always impressed with in these beautiful AAA games, is the amount of work they put into the small things that helps brings the world alive... Those things that you barely notice, because your brain is so focused on processing gameplay data; identifying enemies, items and loot.
We all see and play so many games, but stopping and looking at art for a moment and considering the fact that someone took time to create it for the game, can be fun too.
Ubisoft is notoriously boring with their games, opting to keep a drab and serious look to their textures, where artists at places like Rockstar or even the Call of Duty studios do something more fun and easter-eggy.
I took a whole bunch of screenshots of some of the more interesting stuff I found
"Disc Media Player". Probably for Dreamcast games.Most of the New York populace liks to have pictures of New York in their apartmentThey also like to have the same picture multiple times throughout their apartment...but I guess that goes well with owning the same books multiple times"SEND EMAIL" "CTRL ALT DEL"Pretty accurate representation of Chinese knock-off phones that has pictures of AAA games on them.Finally!"Poke the bear"Unfortunatly too blurry to read. Third one from the left, top row, might read "I'm fucking multiplayer"?
Some cool postersNot quite sure who Guy Neith is. Typical example of the generic store signs. There will be multiple examples of this further below.Guy Neith againThis texture betrays the original release schedule, which I bet was just before Black Friday 2015 last time, before it got pushed to this year.Pretty cool artdesign for a room and the posters are only found once in the entire apartment!The one really joke poster I found so far25% discount at the Liquor store?? Now THAT'S a Black Friday bargain worth lining up for.Note that some of these are drawn and some of them are pictures. When I see stuff like this I alway wonder if it's the people working on the game.Fuck yeah it is!What they like to do for fun at the Ubisoft Texture Factory"Be Brave. The latest TV & entertainment comes to life. High definition is now here" WHAT??????Another nice example of the creative art of the game"Slick."Korea Town offers a bit more interesting signs, given the fact that I don't understand Korean.My favorite place is Chicken Place"Love always finds it's way. Until the family is involved" Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm................SHORTBOWS CITY!I bet those hipsters would have a book store just called "Books". The home of another book fanThese pictures are too stock-photo-ish to be any of the developers private pictures.Overall, when everything comes together, The Division looks absolutely amazing. A question I can relate to
