* RetroactiveRecognition: One of the animators for the game was someone know as Fumito Ueda. You know, he of the ''VideoGame/TeamIcoSeries''

This one needs to be in trivia


* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The game's art book reveals MANY pieces of concept work that don't particularly line up with the tone of the final product. These include blatantly sexually-charged alien/monster boss designs with a more anime-like tone, a stripper-esque "mutated" Laura along with her more punk-like Playstation Expo design and many setting and equipment designs that border on the more fantastical of science fiction as opposed to the more rustic Ridley Scott-like tone it ultimately had.

* ScrappyMechanic: Invisible enemies and single shot long charging weaponry in "Enemy Zero". Doesn't help that the whole game is made before 3D surround sound or it was made for a console that didn't support such feature. This time there ''is'' a save feature… an audio recorder with 64 charges; saving burns three charges… and ''loading a save'' burns one.

** The aliens themselves can charge you surprisingly fast; kill you in one quick hit, while they require a fully charged shot to get killed (and you can't run while charging a shot); and, most important of all, they're completely invisible. You can pick up a detector that, through various beepings, can approximately tell you which side and how far away they are; the problems starts when it beeps without control because there's an entire swarm of the things...
** Larvae, on the other hand, are visible and can die with an uncharged shot - and, by the time you find them, you have a gun with unlimited ammo. Now, the problem: the VPS - the device you've used so far to detect the adults - doesn't work on them. This means that you're forced to use your regular sight (and larvae are quite small and hard to notice) and hearing (and larvae's noises, unlike the adults', are in mono - meaning that you can tell if they're nearby, but not which side). Oh, and if you don't notice them in time, they still kill you in just one hit.

* DemonicSpiders: Due to the nature of the game mechanics, ''every'' enemy is one of these.



* NightmareFuel: While the invisible enemies and OneHitKill nature of the protagonist can be annoying, one can't deny that they also make any encounters with them scary as hell.
