Bug: Offices: On the roof, the stair well to the right side of the building has a railing inside it. Often times a Crawler will get stuck colliding with the railing and can't go down the stairs. The crawler will sometimes even go to the end of the railing where it can get free, but then just double back and get stuck again walking into it.

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.

Continuity mistake: Smithers is shown in Bart's Nightmare with green hair, instead of the grey hair he is usually seen with in the show.

Audio problem: If it is raining, like in the Halloween event or other random storms in the game's time cycle, the audio can change in structures you're inside. But the rain follows the rules as well, like if you're in a tunnel, the rain doesn't fall inside the tunnel. However, if you get inside a bus that is in that tunnel, suddenly you'll hear the sound of rain hitting the roof of the bus, despite there not being any rain that can hit it.

Bug: A game-breaking glitch can commonly occur during the prologue, upon creating a second character. *Spoiler* After the cryogenic chamber cutscene, after being released from the chamber, you will be stuck, unable to move or use any control except for Pause. The only known fix is to turn the entire game off and then go through the cutscene again.

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.

More Resident Evil 7 mistakes

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.

Other mistake: Every time you retrieve a part of Dracula, the message on screen misspells the word "Possess", giving you messages such as "you now prossess Dracula's rib."

Sammo

More Simon's Quest 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

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 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

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.

More Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex mistakes

Other mistake: When in the Washing Room, you collect Mario's hat from the washing machine and you keep it, but when you see Mario trapped in the painting, he has his hat on without Luigi giving it to him. Even if Luigi doesn't get Mario's hat, he'll still have it on.
