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 For example why would you record something and then transfer it to outdated technology?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

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

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.

Plot hole: Level Five: After finishing the mission to defeat The Dirty Bubble atop the Sea Needle, the game completes, the Dirty Bubble is stopped and Bikini Bottom is saved from the little dirty bubbles infecting them. After saving the day, the game lets you go back to Bikini Bottom to finish off some other missions, but despite this the citizens are still infected by the little dirty bubbles and if you go back to the Sea Needle, the Dirty Bubble is still waiting there and reading to be battled again.

Continuity mistake: Max takes a photo of herself at the start of episode one. When she uses this photo to time-travel in episode five, if you pay attention, it's slightly different than the original photo.

Other mistake: When Set takes control of a robot, he uses it to grab and pick up Frau Engel by her face causing damage. When Frau Engel stands up and looks directly at Blazkowicz, her bottom jaw is dislocated and most of her lips have been torn off, making talking impossible. But, when she threatens Blazkowicz, she is speaking in completely coherent sentences.

More Wolfenstein: The New Order mistakes

Bug: In this game, unlike the sequels, the CPU players will go after any item that spawns with reckless abandon. If there are just two level 9 CPU players on the stage, and an item spawns, they will both go for it. If they are equal or approximately equal distance from it on opposite sides, they will steadily walk towards it. Once they get within a certain distance of each other, their Level 9 defense programming kicks in, and they will shield roll past each other, and the item. Get up, and do it again, and again, and again bringing the fight to a standstill until the item fades away.

Continuity mistake: In the level Second Sun, when you take control of Ramirez for the second time, the EMP doesn't hit until a few seconds pass. You can tell because the street lights and helicopters are still fully functioning. However, your holographic sight has already been disabled.

More Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 mistakes

Continuity mistake: In the original Xbox version, after retrieving Jagger Valance's package and giving it to him, he tells you how to escape from Butcher Bay. After he does, kill him. Later in the game, after making it to the Space Port, a ship will be there waiting. When entering the ship, Jagger Valance will be there attempting to open the door to the cockpit.

Bug: Not sure if this can be done on today's consoles but, this could actually be accomplished on the original NES. Two controllers must be plugged into the NES. Take a heavy item [i.e. A book or stapler.] and place it on the right directional button on the second controller and keep it there. Next, fall into a pit and wait for an enemy to go over the pit. When this happens, Megaman's energy will be completely depleted. After that happens, press the jump button on the first controller and Megaman will jump out of the pit and will now be invincible throughout the rest of the level as long as the right directional controller on the second stays pressed down. Note: this will only work when playing the first part of the game which involves Dr. Wily's minions but, won't work when the player makes it to Dr. Wily's lair.

More Mega Man 3 mistakes

Continuity mistake: There are some minor inconsistencies between the original game and this prequel regarding Chloe's time at Blackwell Academy. In the original game, Chloe's dialog during episode three suggests she's never been in principal Wells' office, but in this prequel, Chloe is seen visiting the office. Additionally, this game, which is set in 2010, shows Chloe being expelled. But documentation in the original game indicated she was expelled in 2011.

Other mistake: Kaiser-Friedrich Museum: At the beginning on the bridge you see several Russian soldiers. The ones just walking idly about on the bridge seem to be blind idiots. They just run into things causing collision and so, they just stand there walking in place against obstacle. Sometimes they turn a bit and keep walking until they hit the next obstacle.
