The 4th wall doesn't come from tv. In theatrical plays going back 2000 years there was a wall built off from the stage where an actor or narrator would address the audience directly.

Yeah this was SO fucking bad. How uneducated do you wanna be? These guys: "Yes, please!" And even if you don't know about this shit, AT LEAST do your damn research. It's not like they had to come up with that stuff quickly. They had time to look it up for the video. But I guess we live in the time where anyone can say anything, not matter how much bullshit they say. It's so sad. And don't get me wrong, please. I love gameranx, but they constantly get random shit so damn wrong when the correct answer was a 2 second google search away.

I was playing Stellar Blade, then my wife started talking to me, so of course I have to pay attention to what she has to say. The camera was near Eve's face. When my wife was done talking, I looked at Eve and I freaked out because she was literally looking at me. I moved the camera around, and her head started following the camera and continued to make eye contact for what felt like a whole minute! Scared the shxt outta me for a while. It felt like she's looking at me to ask who I was talking to and telling me to pay attention to her. 🤣

Imagine being so psychopathic that playing a girl in a videogame is considered cheating. 😅 But she actually thinks she's cool. She's into those girl bosses, so she likes Eve. She's not bothered by this game one bit.

The 4th wall break in Tomb Raider 2. She's about to hit the shower, bad guys show up, you get rid of em all, including your butler, using a shotgun, and then she returns to the shower, places down the shotgun, faces the camera, and asks: "Haven't you seen enough?" and grabs the shotgun once more and shoots you. The game finishes.

One of my favorite 4th wall breaks is in Jak 3 whenever a character what's Jak's light stone or whatever and they make a quip and she just goes "this is not a game!" and Jak and Daxter look at the camera with confused expressions. It's not the greatest 4th wall break of all time, but it being subtle is what makes me remember it lol

The thing about Alan Wake 2 is that Alex Casey isn't just a Max Payne look-a-like. He IS Max Payne. Remedy doean't own the IP so they had to rename him. The same goes for Warlin Door, who was Martin Hatch in the Remedy game Quantim Break. He was played by Lance Reddick, who was also intended to play Door an Alan Wake 2 prior to his passing.

Another bunch of honourable mentions: Psycho Mantis (attempting) to read your memory card in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and BB's antics in Fate/Grand Order's various events, not least the Fate/EXTRA CCC collab. I freely admit that I am most certainly dumb, but at least I don't insult, like so: "How DARE you! You didn't include Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid. YOU ARE THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL KZfaqr EVER!!!!!!!" It doesn't matter if games like Metal Gear Solid were made in 1998. Those games are still relevant now, and will be relevant so long as we remember. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that I am entitled to shove errors down the throats of the undeserving; there is nothing wrong with a video that contains multiple moments of people noticing that there is an actual audience. And quite frankly, it's refreshing that there are other fourth-wall breaks being recognised; after all, there's only room from ten for a ranking, and variety is the spice of a content. In brief @MemeselfandI : Both mine and Gameranx's choices are equally correct, so I see no point in refuting him. I do, however, think that reckless paranoia is unhealthy. Get help.

Infamous: Second Son has a somewhat subtle example. Once you 100% the game, getting both the good and evil endings and all the trophies, Delsin will say "You know what buddy. You and I have been through a lot, but I gotta tell you. Officially, we're done." after the credits have rolled and you're in the post-game for that playthrough. I believe a few other games have done that, making the player character "talk" to the player and congratulate them for fully beating the game. It's a cute little way to wrap up a game you spent so much time to complete.

I know it's 20 years old, but Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines had a couple of really nice 4th wall moments. The first one just after doing your character, since if you went back and forth between the two character pages, your poits would replenish so you could start the game with a lot more than intended, and Jack would note that by saying that you were probably trying a mod or something, so you might want to go back and turn it off before starting. Next, iin the beach if you paid the semi-malk to read your future, she would drop lines about you being a player in the game. :D

Ok, I'm going to be VERY pedantic right now (already realizing there will probably be minions who'll be stirred about it) because I'm actually a researcher in the topic: "breaking the 4th wall" and "metafiction" are very distinct things. "Metafiction" refers to fiction that adresses its own nature: games that talk about gaming, series that talk about the structure of serial TV, and so on. "Breaking the 4th wall" refers to a fictional character acknowledging the expectator/player. I don't know about the other games, but even though Alan Wake 2 is a heavily metaficional story because it adresses the structure of stories, in absolutely no point it breaks the 4th wall. That is a confusion that arises because it is not a game with metafictional elements, but rather a metafictional game altogether. But it doesn't break the 4th wall, it doesn't acknowledge the player or the gaming experience of the player: it just talks about the narrative from beginning to end.

Psst, hey Falcon... The fourth wall predates TV by a good bit; started on the stage actually. Here, I'll save ya the Google bandwidth: 'The concept is usually attributed to the philosopher, critic and dramatist Denis Diderot, who wrote in 1758 that actors and writers should "imagine a huge wall across the front of the stage, separating you from the audience, and behave exactly as if the curtain had never risen".' [Apologies, but in addition to being a game dev, I'm a lifelong theater geek & still act in VR productions to this day lol] EtA: Ah, someone beat me to the punch on all that. 🤣

I would put Monster Hunter World on here. In the Iceborne expansion you eventually fight a monster named Shara Ishvalda. The entire time you fight it, it isn't looking at the hunter. It's looking at the camera. At you. It's implied that a Shara Ishvalda can truly see your soul. And in this case, it's the person controlling the hunter, not the hunter themselves.

Hades 2 came out with a 4th wall break on the final boss. If you pause during the boss fight, the boss will mock you and UNPAUSE the game until you get a meta progression upgrade to stop it. He'll still mock you if you pause after that, but he wont be able to unpause the game either.

The fourth wall doesn't come from television. It comes from theatre. Same reason, but older than TV. It has origins back in the 1800s.

Actually the idea of a 4th wall comes from theater and not TV, it's the invisible wall between whatever is happening on stage within the set and the world the actors built and the audience

In the first level of Super Paper Mario, some characters would give Mario instructions about how to play the game. For example, the character might tell Mario to press 1 to flip dimensions. That character would tell Mario not to worry if he did not understand what it meant because the being watching this would understand.

It certainly shows what year we're in because you have to explain what the fourth wall is because some people watching this may have never seen a TV show with a studio audience.

Well, since these were supposed to be shocking or some-such I guess I can understand the utter lack of Hyperdimension Neptunia in these. For those who don't know, I'm just going to point out that Neptune has a very.......casual relationship with the 4th Wall. She regularly talks to the player, almost as if she's having a conversation with you at times. Not to mention being aware of things that she definitely shouldn't be aware of (for instance, in her introduction in Re;Birth 1 she references the fact that it's a remake, and since she's the main character that intro is very early in the game, and in various games she references events that haven't even happened yet in the game, almost as if she already knows the game script...).
