Grand Theft Auto V: Pop Culture References and Easter Eggs
Grand Theft Auto has long been incorporating real–world elements into its virtual world, providing players with unique pop culture references and easter eggs. Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) takes the cake when it comes to the most notable examples.
Here are five of the best pop culture references in GTA V:
1. Sasquatch
GTA V pays homage to the popular cryptid by including a character resembling Sasquatch in the forests of San Andreas. Players who search carefully will be able to spot this hairy creature.
2. Jesus Christ Lookalike
Jesse, a character seen walking around Los Santos Del Perro Pier, closely resembles Jesus Christ. Jesse wears robes and has a cross hanging around his neck. Subtle references to his “father” can also be found.
3. LOST Reference
Amy Locate, a character in the keyboards, is named after the character Faraday from LOST. On the outskirts of the ocean map, players can find a glowing hatch that remains unopened, just like in the show’s first season.
4. Pink Floyd Reference
Billboard Artwork in the keyboards’s warehouses features an image reminiscent of a Pink Floyd album cover. This reference is often overlooked, but it still stands as one of GTA V’s best pop culture references.
5. Red Dead Reference
J. Marston Book Collection. A book called “Red Dead” by J. Marston can be found in Franklin’s library, a nod to Red Dead Redemption and its protagonist Jack Marston.
