Die Hard: Vendetta is a First-Person Shooter developed by Bits Studios and published by Sierra Entertainment. The game is based on the popular Die Hard film series, featuring the iconic action hero John McClane and serves as a continuation of the then-trilogy (which has since been declared non-canon after the fourth film was released).Set five years after Die Hard with a Vengeance, John McClane is called back into action when a terrorist syndicate attacks Townsend Museum for a priceless painting and takes everyone hostage, among them John's daughter, Lucy McClane who now works as a rookie L.A.P.D officer.After a daring rescue mission, John is on the trail of retrieving several missing artworks and investigating Piet Gruber, son of John's nemesis, Hans Gruber way back in the original Die Hard, currently a financier for the museum, who may or may not be in league with the terrorists.Alongside engaging in intense gunfights with enemies while completing objectives, gameplay also incorporates elements of stealth, for John to silently eliminate enemies, as well as including a variety of weapons and gadgets John can utilize to overcome challenges.The game was released in 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox platforms. | |

Human Shield: John can grab mooks from behind and use them as captives, before ordering other mooks to lay down their weapons, though only in stages when he snuck upon them without being noticed - if the shootout is already in full-swing John isnt granted this option. | |

Older Hero vs. Younger Villain | |
| Die Hard: Vendetta (Video Game) / int_14fe0d94 | comment |
Older Hero vs. Younger Villain: John McClane has aged visibly in the game compared to his film counterpart, with his character model in cutscenes sporting graying hair. His main enemies, on the other hand, are Piet Gruber, son of his first villain Hans Gruber, and Jack Frontier, a disgraced actor-turned-terrorist who couldn't be younger than forty. | |

Borrowed Catchphrase: John's "Yipee-ki-yay, motherfucker!" was used by a few other characters, notably by Piet Gruber when taunting John over a walkie-talkie and later spoken by Lucy when she shoots Piet before he can try shooting John again. | |

"Die Hard" on an X: Well, no doy. The very first stage is a Die Hard-style scenario in the Townsend Art Museum, and later there's a Die Hard in a Theater, Die Hard in an Industrial Plant and Die Hard in the Holmes Observatory before finally going full circle into a Die Hard in the Nakatomi Plaza Building where it all started. | |

John's daughter, Lucy McClane (in the few levels where she sees action) is another police officer and a trigger-happy Cowboy Cop like her dad, who isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty. She even lets out her dad's trademark "Yipee-ki-yay, motherfucker!" after killing the Big Bad. | |

Alternate Continuity: Doesn't follow the timeline of the film series, that the game's developers already confirmed even way back in the game's initial release. Live Free or Die Hard being released five years later featuring Lucy McClane as a non-combatant further confirms it's non-canon status. | |

Guns Akimbo: John can equip himself with twin revolvers or Uzis in shootouts, though he can only target one enemy at a time. Piet's minion, Nitric, uses dual Uzis during his first boss battle. His second one sees him using a machine-gun instead. Marlin carries double revolvers when fought as a boss. She's far more accurate than Nitric, expectedly. | |

Shoot one side the "Galaxy Thief III" bannner underneath, and use it as a makeshift ladder. John will drop this hint aloud if the player doesn't know what to do: | |

Sequelitis: In-universe example with the Galaxy Thief trilogy, a movie series which Piet's minion Jack Frontier used to star in. The first Galaxy Thief was a success making Jack a star and leads to a sequel being greenlit, only for Galaxy Thief II to receive mediocre reviews despite making plenty of money; the studios' decision to replace Jack in Galaxy Thief III leads to Jack's Start of Darkness and allying himself with Piet Gruber before eventually attempting to commit a terrorist attack on Holmes Observatory at the premier of Galaxy Thief III. | |

A few Quick Time Event(s) will lead to this, like John pulling a Shoot the Hostage Taker in the first stage to save Lucy leading to a cutscene of John's bullet killing a mook in slow-motion. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Die Hard: Vendetta (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: The game references the past three movies every now and then. Die Hard Occasionally when he's not shooting terrorists, John will casually whistle "Ode to Joy" to himself. When "Hero Time" is triggered, the background music turns into Symphony No. 9 "Ode to Joy" lifted from the very first film. The second-to-last stage is set in the Nakatomi Plaza, which the game lovingly recreates from having the same courtyard (where John dropped a dead terrorist on Al Powell's vehicle back in '88) to identical sigils to zig-zagging long tables in the conference rooms. It even recycles music from the film as background. John himself lampshades the first movie's events. And Piet taunts John using his father's exact phrases. One of the explorable areas in Nakatomi Plaza is the indoor pool / mini-waterfall where John fell in to escape an explosion in the film. The game's last cutscene have John punching out a movie producer who wants to buy the rights to his story, much like Holly knocking out Dick Thornburg's lights moments before credits roll. Die Hard 2 One area in the subway contains mooks dressed in painters' overalls disguised as janitors, like the skywalk gunfight from the film. There's even an identical tall frame with a mook standing on it like in the movie. John fighting enemies in a room full of conveyer belts. Die Hard with a Vengeance The Big Bad is related to Hans Gruber, although it's his son instead of brother. The subway shootout in the game is based on the movie's subway scenario. A lot of terrorist bombing plots going on in this game, just like Simon Gruber's MO in the film. Pretty sure Piet got the idea from his uncle's activities five years ago. Piet even has a European henchwoman who's an expy of Katya from the third film. | |

Double-Meaning Title | |
| Die Hard: Vendetta (Video Game) / int_a4905771 | comment |
Double-Meaning Title: The game's title and revelation makes the plot sound like Piet's terrorist schemes is payback over John killing his father Hans Gruber all those years ago, but it turns out Piet never really loves his father anyways, and him antagonizing John isn't out of vengeance over John dropping Hans to his death. At any rate, the "vendetta" refers to Jack Frontier's attempts to get back at Hollywood for terminating his contract and dropping him off the limelight. | |

Chekhov's Skill: One of the tutorial stage's last challenge have John attempting to diffuse three dummy bombs. How convenient that the final stage, Holmes Observatory, revolves around John trying to diffuse Jack's timed explosives to prevent him from blowing up the premiere. | |

| Die Hard: Vendetta (Video Game) / int_af5f2180 | comment |
Avenging the Villain: Defied - John initially assumes Piet's vengeance towards him is because of John killing Piet's father, Hans Gruber, in 1988. Turns out it's NOT the case. | |

The prison have John uncovering a secret entrance, hidden by a poster (of a girl in a bikini) covering a hole in the wall, ala The Shawshank Redemption. | |

Kill It with Ice: One of stage have John taking on Piet and Sumi's mooks in a freezer room loaded with nitrogen tanks. Shooting the tanks will release nitrogen gas that freezes any unfortunate mook in the way, and another shot on a frozen mook leads to Literally Shattered Lives. In fact, one of John's pre-programmed dialogue in the level is this lovely Shout-Out: | |

Lineage Comes from the Father: John's daughter, Lucy McClane (in the few levels where she sees action) is another police officer and a trigger-happy Cowboy Cop like her dad, who isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty. She even lets out her dad's trademark "Yipee-ki-yay, motherfucker!" after killing the Big Bad. Piet Gruber turns out to be another terrorist mastermind, just like his father Hans, and is holding Los Angeles hostage with an experimental warhead. | |

The latter regains his gun after being released and temporarily helps John take on enemies. | |
