A Hint Regarding the Secrets in Trials HD (UPDATED) | Forums

[jenkki]

Issue #100 of Xbox World 360 is on newsstands now. It has published a piece which asks 100 of the biggest names in the games business one question about the ‘secrets’ of their work. Included in that list is RedLynx's Antti Ilvessuo, who while discussing the inclusion of secrets in games, drops some cryptic hints about the remaining secrets still to be found within Trials HD.

Here is part of his answer from that interview:

But what makes a good secret? For example, look at the Trials HD riddle. People are only just now figuring out that all of the secrets in the game are connected, even though in some of the first interviews about the game I mentioned that, while some of the things in there may seem like nonsense, they're not.

More info was promised, here it is...With the permission of Xbox World 360 Magazine, we have posted the relevant portion of Antti's interview in the current issue, talking about further secrets in Trials HD.

I've looked through the Easter Egg thread and found it frustrating trying to piece the thing together.I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for those devs involved in creating/implementing this puzzle in the game that nobody's managed to solve it after all this time. I'd love to see it all broken down and explained.

I assumed the thd riddle was already long solved

I cant really be bodered in looking for all of them but here is what i can tell you. (apolagies for my poor english, ill try making it as clear as possible)

The squarred image you see in 'codemned complex' and 'middle name danger' is the fibonacci sequence, in numbers this looks like : 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,..... (each new number is the sum of the 2 previous numbers) Im not gona give you the exact formula, but it is important to remember that this is all about proportion. It also relates to the golden section wich may sound more familiar. Look this up, you may find it very interesting!

It is believed (and often proven) that this somewhat magical sequence can be found in for example art, nature, music, architecture, calculating Phi... A few easter eggs fit in here:
- 1452 (found in Dangerous ride) is the birthyear of Leonardo De Vinci: many buildings, paintings, artwork from this period follow the golden section.
- starsign of orion (found in Space station): You can find the above proportions in the piramids in Gizeh, egypt. These pyramids are build in the form of the starsign orion.
- In prisonbreak you can find a panel with a long code consisting of 4 letters (CGAT): these are the buildingstones of DNA: guanine G,Cytosine C, Adenine A, thymine T. The dna spiral is a golden section!

Im only going to explain a few easter eggs here, im sure you dedicaded trialsheads can connect the rest of them. Just keep in mind that its all about proportion, wich goes to the beginning of times, the creation of the universe and everything around us.

More to come...

Oh oh oh - so when you're speaking of "[...] remaining secrets still to be found [...] you actually mean there's still easter eggs and/or hidden areas to be found that have not been mentioned in the easter egg topic? That would be quite epic ...

Somebody needs to get that issue and post the whole article, please? I'm from Germany so getting my hands on that would prove to be rather difficutl

[NovaDarkStorm]

I chuckled at this because i've found some easter eggs I bet if I looked into it I could work it out.

The answer to the riddle is "We at Redlynx have transcended time and space. Our fans are legion."
