Alias Toufexis, voice actor for Adam Jensen in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, stated that he was originally the voice of Jason Brody. He worked on the role for 2 years, but after Deus Ex: Human Revolution was released during Far Cry 3's development, he was replaced. This was allegedly because the developers were nervous that anybody playing Far Cry 3 would think about Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Alias Toufexis has also said that he found this dismissal to be justified and understandable.

Collection: MediEvil

Sir Daniel Fortesque's voice was originally performed by the game's lead designer, Jason Wilson, in MediEvil, after the developers auditioned several actors but could not find anyone they were happy with. In the end, Wilson stepped in to do the voice himself, allegedly reading the lines through gritted teeth while wearing a bucket on his head to get the right effect.

In MediEvil 2, Fortesque was played by British voice actor Marc Silk, with Jason Wilson reprising the role in the PSP reimagining MediEvil: Resurrection. French actor Stephane Cornicard portrayed Dan in his appearance in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, who Wilson criticized as sounding "a little too much like the Swedish Chef for my liking".

Attachment The Fullbright Company built a prototype of the game in Frictional Games' HPL2 engine, and asked if they could use the engine in the final game. They were turned down as a matter of policy, and encouraged to use the Unity engine instead, which the game was eventually completed in.

After playing the final version, and being informed of its history, Thomas Grip of Frictional Games later asked to see the prototype, stating that he had "Mail Steve about Amnesia: Gone Home" written on his todo list for six months.

In 2005, rumors spread of a new side-scrolling Metroid game known as "Metroid Dread". The original version of this game never materialized, although it would be developed and released for the Nintendo Switch in 2021.

However, in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, scanning a computer screen in game reveals the message "Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion.", most likely a nod to Metroid Dread.

A reboot Jak and Daxter game was in the works for the PS3 back in 2009. However, the team that would have created the game said that it would have ended up being a disservice to all the fans, since nothing that they were creating "felt like Jak and Daxter." After telling their superiors that it really wouldn't work, they were allowed to work on a new project, which turned into The Last of Us.
