The second trailer for Team Fortress 2 shows gameplay footage of each class, except for the Medic. However, the Medic does make two appearances in the video; once at 1:47, on the left, and once again at 1:50, he can be seen behind a wall.

The trailer also shows many sound and weapon changes. Some of these include the Scout using a weapon called the Nailgun, which was replaced by the Scattergun, and the Demoman can be seen throwing an pack of Dynamite, which was later replaced by his Stickybombs. Every class, including the Pyro, uses generic scream sounds for taking damage and dying, including the infamous Wilhelm scream.

One of Steven Ogg's influences when he was portraying Treavor Philips in the game was actor Tom Hardy; specifically Hardy's performance in the 2008 film Bronson.

"He was able to walk that line of psychopath and entertainer while maintaining his sense of humor in some pretty dark places. I'm always inspired by intensity and those that take great pride in what they do - be it an actor, painter, musician, writer, or arborist."

As well as some music which Ogg would listen to, to help imagine Treavor.

Attachment In Ermac and Sindel's endings, Kitana is shown as looking like Mileena's primary costume, but pallette-swapped with blue instead of pink. The reason Kitana has a blue version of Mileena's outfit is because she was originally going to be playable in the game, but was replaced by Jade because the creators wanted to bring back older characters.

Harada, the producer of Tekken, originally designed "Tekken Ball" as a simulator to help people practice air juggles. Initially, a player had to hit the ball and juggle it to a basket, somewhat similar to basketball. However, Harada found the original version of "Tekken Ball" to be frustrating and decided to make it a competitive game.

There is an unused Miracle called "Escape Death" in the game's files that acts as a Rare Ring of Sacrifice, letting the player die, but also keep all of their souls and humanity. It is likely that this was removed due to developers noting that it would remove the penalty of death, making the game unbalanced.

Franchise: Dead Rising

The idea for Dead Rising came about while Resident Evil 4 was under development. Keiji Inafune, lead developer for the series, was concerned that the idea of traditional slow zombies would die out, as the zombies in Resident Evil 4 were now able to run, use weapons, and talk. He wanted to create a game in which the slow zombie type was more prominent than any other character in the game.
