In Shadow's story, after you ignite the flames around the fountain in Soleanna City and receive the Sceptre Of Darkness, you'll receive a message from GUN HQ that will tell you where you have to go next. The dialogue in the message contains 2 takes from the voice actor, the first take being a failed attempt. It seems that it was accidentally left in the game.

Attachment The battle against Megaleg is based on a scrapped concept of the final battle in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, where Link would have to scale Ganon's (then-colossal) body in order to defeat him.

Attachment According to an interview with Yosiaki Koizumi in the 225th issue of Nintendo Power, the battle against Ganon would revolve around Link having to scale his body, which would've been gigantic at the time (similar to boss battles in Shadow of the Colossus). However, it was later changed due to how players could be confused in the fight (as they would never see Ganon's entire body), and rendering his colossal body at a steady framerate would've heavily strained the N64's hardware. The concept was later recycled for the Megaleg battle in Super Mario Galaxy.

It appears that originally the player could recruit Thane, Tali, Samara or Legion a lot earlier in the game; possibly directly after the prologue like Miranda and Jacob. By using an editor tool to unlock them from the beginning of the game, players will discover that the four have extensive dialogue for virtually every mission in the game, including missions which must be complete before their official recruitment missions. Furthermore, there are some unique scenes should the player bring Legion in particular along onto certain missions, such as characters commenting on his presence.

Legion's presence also triggers an exclusive Paragon Interrupt during Tali's recruitment mission. Upon meeting Tali, she will notice Legion and immediately draw her gun, triggering a Paragon Interrupt prompt. If the player doesn't press it, she will open fire at Legion who will run for cover.

The Mann vs. Machine update, released in August of 2012, had been teased by Valve for almost 3 years:
• In October of 2009, during the Haunted Hallowe'en Special, the will of Zepheniah Mann, the father of Redmond and Blutarch Mann, the owners of Blu and Red, respectively, showed that he had an unknown third son, who was revealed during the Mann vs Machine update as Gray Mann, the one sending robots to destroy Mann Co.
• During the 119th update several months later, a teaser video was released for the Engineer Update. In said video, multiple robot heads of the Heavy and Demoman classes could be seen in the background. These would later be seen as the heads for their respective robots sent by Gray Mann.
• Much later, during the Christmas 2011 update, a hidden back room, accessible only via cheats, was found in the newly added map "Foundry". In the room, it shows a cowering Heavy and Scout looking at developed pictures showing several of Gray Mann's robots. Besides these pictures, there are also 3 numbers in the map, "13 22 13", which in alpha numeric code translates to "MVM", the initals of the future update.
• During the Pyromania update 6 months later, the also newly added map "Doomsday" included another room only accessible with cheats. In this room, a disappointed Spy can be seen with the same 4 pictures and a map showing a town, a factory, and a farm. These 3 places would be the 3 MVM maps, Coaltown, Mannworks, and Decoy, respectively.
• 2 months later, the actual Mann vs. Machine update was released

Attachment When Sonic CD was being remade using Christian Whitehead's self-made engine, he wanted to include a new level called "Desert Dazzle". However, SEGA thought it was a bad idea to deviate from the original project. You can actually find a concept image with Christian's initials on it in the sound test by entering PCM:32|DA:8

According to the Left 4 Dead Commentary, the logic behind a rescue closet is that the "dead" survivor did not actually die, but was instead so badly hurt that they crawled into a closet, barricaded themselves in, and recovered somewhat, before noticing they couldn't get out.

At the time of EarthBound's development, Shigesato Itoi didn't know how to use computers. He would actually speak each line of dialogue out loud, often one letter at a time, and Matchan Miura typed it up. Itoi used Miura's reactions as a gauge of how good a line was.

The "Game Pyramid" that you find in Clank's room once started out as a PlayStation 2. However, the PlayStation TRC states that you can not have a PS2 in your game that you can destroy. It was than replaced as an X-box, but was taken out as they were not allowed to have a competitor's machine in the game.
