If I had a dollar for every 2025 UE5 game that has artifacts presumably caused by character skinning/animations going awry, I'd have two dollars now, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. In other words - welcome back MindsEye?

Vigilante in GTA III has a unique bonus that doesn't quite work: if you catch 10 criminals in a row, the game grants a "get out of jail free card". With it, you keep your money after you are busted (once), but at some point you kept your weapons too. The final game takes them.

Around 2 years ago, I *tried* to play through Acclaim Juiced, but I couldn't tame its handling model. Turns out back then I had a half-finished Xbox gamepad layout mod for the PS2 prototype, so now I came back and finished it! With proper throttle control, it'll be nicer.

In San Andreas, Maccer appears outside of the cutscenes in Don Peyote, and neither him or Kent Paul have voices beyond the scripted dialogue lines. However, Maccer actually has a set of lines that went unused, since they were not assigned to his model name!

Something is seriously wrong with traffic in Hard Truck 2/King of the Road, and I can't tell if that's how it always was, or if it's broken only on the modern PCs and/or the latest version of the game.

It's cool that Old School Rally pays homage to the Colin McRae Rally's UFO abduction easter egg, but it's unfortunate that it's "cheapened": in CMR you respawned with a "jelly" car, in OSR the stage simply resets. Not even turning the car green, like another CMR cheat did.

Turns out that GTA III has a bug with the engine start SFX (later fixed in Vice City): If you enter a parked car through the driver's door, the start SFX will not play; however, it will play if entered through the passenger's door. (1/2)
