Character mistake: During matches involving Triple H, one of the random tidbits Jerry "The King" Lawler can mention is the match Hunter had on Wrestlemania 2000, where he bested in a fatal four-way "Mick Foley, the Rock and Mankind." Mick Foley IS Mankind, the fourth person in the main event was The Big Show.

Revealing mistake: On Escort matches, any time the tank goes under a walkway, you can see the antennas sticking up through the floor moving through it like a shark fin.

Video

Revealing mistake: Towards the beginning, you find a VHS tape upstairs in the house. Putting it in the VCR plays the tape, but allows you to see the video through he camera man's perspective, by playing as him during the recording. If you press the control button to block, you see the camera man's hands, both arms, come up to block. However the camera he's recording with stays in place. It's a camera that uses VHS so it wouldn't be strapped to his head. He should drop the camera if he lifts both hands like that, but is putting them in front of the camera.

Suggested correction: It's possible it was a non-VHS camera that was transferred to a VHS.

LorgSkyegon

That would make no sense considering the context and situation. This is a 'haunted house' and with this being a Resident Evil game which is a time line set where the end of the world happened in the mid 90's when VHS was still in wide spread use.

Quantom X

Clearly a mistake. For example why would you record something and then transfer it to outdated technology?

Ssiscool

Indeed. And now that I've seen a bit further into the game. Another character gets the same camera and records another message on a tape and leaves it behind for you to find.

Quantom X

More Resident Evil 7 mistakes

Factual error: When giving birth in the game, giraffes will lie down, as do other in-game animals. Giraffes in the real world rarely lie down and even give birth standing up.

Perfect Dark mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the ending cutscene of the G5-Building level, you will see you have come out of a plain wall, which you blew down before completing this level.

Epic

More Perfect Dark mistakes

Other mistake: Starting a new game, the description for the Fiction mode says... well, exactly that. "This is the description for the Fiction mode." Nothing else at all. Placeholder text at the very beginning of the game.

Sammo

More We. The Revolution mistakes

Other mistake: In the opening sequence, Dr. Wily's name is misspelled Dr. Willy with two L's. This mistake is carried over to Mega Man Legacy Collection 2.

Audio problem: "Message In A Bottle" has a guitar outro with extra vocals that is not in the master track.

logan crews

More Guitar Hero II mistakes

Audio problem: Several lines in this game are said where the character's mouth is out of sync for at least a third of the line. Especially Doc's lines.

Casual Person

More Back To The Future: The Game mistakes

Bug: At the reception desk, the computer mouse can be picked up. If you hold it and then flip your hand upside down, the mouse's cord will pass through your hand.

Quantom X

More Surgeon Simulator 2013 mistakes

Bug: If an NPC zombie is too close to certain obstacles, they will appear to be crouched on the ground. The Collision is just enough to cause them to not be able to make any sideways movement unless they are activated, thus they will just be crouched on the ground slowly rotating around. It is comical for a group of zombies to be doing this while occupying the same space, as they have a dog pile effect making a tower of crouched rotating zombies.

Quantom X

More Contagion mistakes

Continuity mistake: At the end of the Crossroads level you are at a corner building. During the battle a tank comes and shoots at the building in which you exit the building through a doorway that had planks boarded to it. During the ending cutscene you are in the building again and in the background you can see the doorway with planks boarded to it.

More Call of Duty 3 mistakes

Other mistake: Playing Spain in this game gives you a bonus to attack Indian villages, however, actually attacking Indian villages lowers your overall score.

Captain Defenestrator

More Sid Meier's Colonization mistakes

Factual error: Paul Chuck talks a lot about how good Lammy's guitar is going to be, because of the wood they make it out of. However since it is an electric guitar the shape and material of the body would not actually make any difference to the sound.

Moose

More Um Jammer Lammy mistakes

Bug: When taking off in the glider with the tow-plane, if you are using the virtual cockpit view, you can see the tow-rope through the glider instrument panel.

More Microsoft Flight Simulator X mistakes

Continuity mistake: When Anderson is talking to Pops, Anderson says 'Colonel'. Pop's rank is a 2nd Lt, and Razgriz/Wardog Squadron is only Captains. in fact, the only Colonel in the game is Perrault, the Base Commander on Sand Island.

More Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War mistakes

Bug: When you get the fireball effect (when exiting the orbit or at very high speeds) if you try to turn too much with the Delta-Glider that comes with the game, after a while the ailerons (which are also the elevators) come off yet you can still pull up or pull down without any movement of the elevator (which are the ailerons and are removed) but you cannot turn at all.

More Orbiter mistakes

Other mistake: Have a Pokémon that knows SURF in your first position. This means this Pokémon will follow you in the overworld. Then go to any place where there's water, stand next to the water, press A and answer YES to SURF. The Pokémon that is following you, will completely bypass you, and then go to the water.

More Pokemon: HeartGold and SoulSilver mistakes

Continuity mistake: When going into any level where you play as Coco, we see Crash going into the teleporter, but why would Coco be there when the level begins, as we never saw her stepping into the teleporter.
