Fonti di gran peso

Many of the game's design elements were inspired by Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. Producer Nathan Burlow stated the narrative and atmosphere of the BioShock and Eternal Darkness influenced the design. Director Sefton Hill said gadgets and abilities that can be combined and used in different ways was inspired by The Legend of Zelda and Metroid.

Errore di stampa:

Strider 2

When the game was released on the Playstation, it was packaged alongside the Playstation port of the original Strider.

However, in the North American release, the games were printed to the wrong discs. Strider 2 was printed to disc 2 (labelled "Strider"), and Strider was printed to disc 1 (labelled "Strider 2"). This affects all North American copies of the game.

Not a Sequence Break

If you defeat Maleficent in Hollow Bastion before chasing Pinocchio in Monstro, a set of alternate cutscenes will play out as you progress through the rest of Monstro. The cutscenes where Riku talks to Sora in the first chamber of Monstro, and the cutscene where he talks to Maleficent are both edited out of this sequence.

La versione console non s'ha da fare:

Alien vs. Predator

According to former Capcom artist Katsuya Akitomo, Capcom had plans to port the game to consoles back in the year 2000, but they were shot down by 20th Century Fox, who stated "that was a good game for its time, but that time has passed".

The game wouldn't recieve a release until 2019, thanks to the Capcom Home Arcade unit.

Non un vero seguito ma la seconda metà del primo gioco.

Il titolo R-Type II venne utilizzato anche per un'edizione su PC Engine, ma non si tratta del seguito, bensì della seconda metà dei livelli del primo R-Type, che per questa console fu diviso in due titoli autonomi.

Questa è una differenza che apprezzo

Whereas each servant was tied to a difficulty in Fate/EXTRA, these two concepts are separate in CCC. When first launching the game, the player chooses one of three difficulties, then a servant with a fighting style: Saber is “standard”, Archer is “technical”, Caster is “maniac” and Gilgamesh is “cheat”.

Non solo una città

According to Final Fantasy VI Settei Shiryō-hen, Jidoor is considered one of the four great nations in the world and represents the western world; the other three nations are Figaro in the north, Doma in the east, and the Gestahlian Empire in the south. The guidebook contradicts some in-game elements of Final Fantasy VI canon, however, so to what extent Jidoor is considered a nation-state like the other three is unclear.

Un segreto scoperto solo molti anni dopo:

Jak and Daxter

After beating the fishing mini-game, it's possible to play a harder version of it by inputting a secret code in front of the Fisherman: Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, X. This version is considerably harder and has no score limit - the game continues until the player misses 20 pounds of fish or catches a poisonous eel. This secret was found nearly 20 years after the game's release.
