The way all the Counsellors are based strongly on Horror Movie stereotypes, especially 70s and 80s ones — even their stats encourage this kind of play. It might be considered racist for the black guy to be the Unskilled, but Strong Jock, so kudos to the devs for having the balls to go through with what was such a stereotype at the time.
Roy Burns doesn't go to visit Pamela's Shrine like the other incarnations of Jason because he's not really Jason.
Despite not being the real Jason, the movie version of Roy Burns was still Made of Iron and took an incredible amount of damage before finally going down. Given the Camp Counselors can only stab him with pocket knives and hit him with bats, it makes sense that he's still able to kill them all. How he stops a car when it slams into him, mind you, is just Gameplay and Story Segregation.
The novelization also had Jason actually possessing Roy Burns so coupled with the fact Grand Theft Meis one of Jason's abilities in Jason Goes to Hell then it's entirely possible Roy is a version of the real Jason.
Roy Burns is notably absent from the collection of Jasons in the Virtual Lodge display cases.
Giving Jason Voorhees the ability to zoom around Crystal Lake explains a lot of how his Offscreen Teleportation in the movies works. Given it looks like the view of the Deadites in The Evil Dead also implies something about the source of Jason's abilities (or it's just an Easter Egg). The Necronomicon is, after all, in Pamela's house in Jason Goes to Hell.
Indeed, while Jason has been Retcon to always have been supernatural by Part 9, this ties it in much earlier and explains why Jason was previously Made of Iron as well as able to survive in the woods for decades.
A minor point but it was always confusing whether Pinehurt Youth Development Center was nearby Crystal Lake or not in the movies. Alternate Continuity or not, it is clearly established as being here now. May also qualify as an Author's Saving Throw.
We see Jason has already disabled the phone lines in Camp Crystal Lake so the fact both cars are broken down makes sense. Jason has always been Crazy-Prepared but he's made sure the counselors can't get away first.
Buggsy in the 5th Challenge ("Packanack Party") routinely stands up from his wheelchair whenever he's alone and away from the other Counselors. His story about how he was crippled changes if you reload the game from a trampoline accident to surfing. Given the way Deborah expresses her interest in him, it's entirely possible he's playing up a minor injury as a much more serious one to get her into bed.
In the Single Player Challenge, it's pretty clear A.J. has problems with her lovers. Mitch is apparently unable to fully, uh, please her. Kenny's sexy times with her is ridiculously short. A.J. seems quite fine with Adam but, well, Impaled with Extreme Prejudice happens. Chad, ironically, turns out to be the most caring boyfriend she has as well as "capable." He farts in the bed, though.
Why is Grip Strength one of Part 8 Jason's weaknesses? Look at how slimy he is.
Another possible reason is Part 8 Jason mostly going around without a weapon in the movie, whereas most other Jasons tended to have a weapon in hand as often as they could, outside of being disarmed or one off kill items like the cleaver in Part 4.
