Vote up the details you missed the first time around.
When video games first arrived, they were little more than large blips on the screen. Over the years, those blips became colorful vectors, pixelated plumbers, and finally, well-rendered characters and locations that are photorealistic. It was a long road, getting from there to here, but video games have finally become an art form that relies heavily on insanely detailed and complex graphics.
With those changes, video game developers have put more and more attention to detail into their games. Some of them feature accurate depictions of physics to include everything from light distortion to gravity. On top of that, high levels of graphical detail mean small mistakes become incredibly noticeable. As a result, developers pay close attention to the details to ensure they are as accurate as possible.
Accuracy in video games and even the video game movies they inspire has become one of the most important factors, and plenty of players have taken notice. This list features some of the most surprisingly accurate details in video games that fans somehow noticed. The more interesting of these made their way to the Gaming Details subreddit and are presented below.
