Company: Insomniac Games

In Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, there is a badly programed enemy on planet Grelbin called the Snow Beast. The enemy was made in three days and has too short of a pre-attack animation, which makes it frustrating to fight, especially in large groups. This beast was the influence for the Snow Beast Award, which is an internal award that Insomniac Games gives to the person that "Created the worst thing that actually shipped in the game" after every new game is released.

It should be noted that in the final game these 'Snow Beasts' are individually named 'Y.E.T.I.'

When the Phillips CD-i was first introduced in 1991, it was not advertised as a gaming console, but as a multimedia product to promote the CD format. Low sales caused Philips to try promoting it as a game console three years later.

Even though Pokémon Crystal is incompatible with the Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Light, Super Game Boy and Super Game Boy 2, there is an unused Super Game Boy border programmed into the game. This can be seen by setting a flag in the game's RAM to enable the Super Game Boy features. Cheating devices such as the Game Genie can also be used to achieve the same effect temporarily. The border is a leftover from the Japanese version of Pokémon Gold; the design is the same and the text reads Pocket Monsters Gold Version, rather than the English version's title of "Pokémon Gold".

When the player attempts to play the game on a model of the Game Boy prior to the Game Boy Color, the error message "This Game Pak is designed only for use on the Game Boy Color." is output by the game, with the word Crystal spelled out using Unown. There is an unused color palette associated with this message, using an orange tint, which appears when triggering the unused Super Game Boy border.

Much of the game music's lyrics were written in "futuristic" versions of existing languages. For example the song "Kaine" was written in Gaelic, "The Wretched Automatons" in English and "Grandma" in French. Altogether the lyrics encompassed Scottish Gaelic, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French, English and Japanese.

Depending on the selected difficulty level, the number of times that Snake will have to endure torture by electric shock is different, and Revolver Ocelot will have a different comment each time.

• Easy: 3 - "Had enough yet? We're not finished yet!"
• Normal: 4 - "You're still okay? Want me to go on? Can you take one more?"
• Hard: 5 - "Give up. Make it easy on yourself. One more time!"
• Extreme: 6 - "Come on! You don't want to die like this, do you? I can do this all day!"

This was changed in the Twin Snakes version to be 3 rounds, regardless of the difficulty setting.

In Leon's campaign, you rescue a rookie cop caught in a town filled with zombies on his first day at work. This is a throwback to how Leon was in a similar situation back in Raccoon City. The gas station in this scene, Stagla, is also a reference as one was located in Raccoon. A miniature of this station is also seen in the Special Features menu of the game.

Shinji Mikami, the creator of Resident Evil, didn't play RE5 until 2011, a whole two years after the game's release. This is because he didn't like the idea that someone else had made the game.

Everything that the Dahaka says is really just the voice actor reversed. What he is really saying is:
• All who have come before you have fallen.
• No one escapes the Dahaka.
• Your end is near.
• You will be removed.
• Disrupt the timeline no further.
• Come to me. Come to your death.
• You are quick, Mortal. Quick to die.
• You can not escape your fate.
• It ends for you the same as all who seek to change their fate.
• A good fight and this outcome was inevitable.
• It was a mistake for you to even try.
• You will never be rid of me.

In the Prepare to Die Edition, the player has an opportunity to save a young Sif from the Abyss. After doing so and summoning Sif for a boss fight deep in the Abyss, if the player has not yet defeated Sif in the present, the opening cutscene will change.

Sif appears to recognize the player, and is reluctant to do battle with them, but finds it necessary, likely due to Sif swearing to protect the grave or the Covenant of Artorias. This cutscene makes the hobbling animation when Sif is at low health even more heart-wrenching for some players.

The Bounding Demons in Lost Izalith are actually made from the same mesh as the lower half of the Undead Dragon minibosses. Neither of the two Undead Dragons ever stand, and the one in the Painted World Ariamis crawls forward and disconnects from its lifeless lower half. There is a glitch where attacking the lower half when you can reach it with a plunging attack will prompt the body to shoot up onto its legs like a Bounding Demon, thus eliminating the need to unlock several doors and pass through a fog gate.

If you look at the symbols on the bosses health bars, three of them have the normal Sigma symbol (Magma Dragoon, Cyber Peacock, and Split Mushroom), while the other five have the symbol of the Repliforce (Web Spider, Storm Owl, Frost Walrus, Jet Stingray, and Slash Beast). This means that most of the bosses you fight have not turned Maverick like the other games.

There are several animations of the players shooting and throwing things in several directions while facing the alternate direction. It appears that players may have been able to shoot and throw grenades behind them without turning around. Some of the animations can actually be seen in the game. This can be done by releasing your parachute and shooting left.

Throughout the game you may see a symbol that looks like a crescent moon and a star. This symbol can be found on blocks, floor switches, and even the mirror shield. This symbol has caused some controversy, as the moon and star resembles an Islamic symbol. In all re-releases of the game, it has be changed to a new symbol.
