Five Second Foreshadowing: Difference between revisions

* In the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0m28yz6kmg trailer (around 1:50)] for the [[Warhammer 40000]] game ''[[Dawn of War]]'' 2, a [[Space Marine]] strikes down an [[Our Elves Are Different|Eldar]] with his [[Chainsaw Good|chainsword,]] proclaiming "This planet is ours, witch!" "No," she gasps, pointing towards the heavens, "This planet... is theirs." Cue Tyranid horde and massive 'Nid bug right behind the [[Space Marine]].

* In the 2010 [[Re Boot]] of ''[[Medal of Honor]]'', this happens to Sergeant Peterson's Ranger team as they are about to kick in the door to clear a house, only to hear a mobile phone ring inside. Bonus points as the ''player'' knows what this sound means, having seen the same trick in the game's prologue mission, but the ''characters'' have no clue what is about to happen.

* Similar to the ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' example above, ''[[Bioshock]]'' uses this for [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Andrew Ryan reveals that the phrase "would you kindly" acts as a command phrase for the player, forcing him to obey.}} The player immediately sees a flashback montage of several scenes in which {{spoiler|Atlas had used the phrase, which if the player noticed at all simply sounded like a [[Verbal Tic]]}}.
