Some of the gameplay trailer is a little off
There are quite a few things I noticed wrong about the trailer, I will start with the Living quarters level, in the trailer it shows Blake saying "It ends now" but in reality this was not him it was two engineer in a further inferno level further on. Also the store page shows Blake holding a shotgun but at no point does he ever obtain one until the Furnace level being the next bit after. Something else I noticed was Blake holding and using a Grenade launcher in the trailer, literally at no point after the wherehouse does Blake ever get this gun.

It is normal for game trailers to be that way (specially voice lines). That doesn't means that they changed at which point you get X weapon. Btw, if i remember right the shotgun can be obtained in the third level. It is behind some boxes you can destroy.

You may indeed be right but how does Blake ever get a shotgun after waking up on living quarters level? I dont think he ever does except ammo.

They forced Blake to have a shotgun by modifying some files. This happens in a lot of game trailers. It happened in one of my top favorite games (Blade of Darkness) where some voice lines were not supposed to be in that especific area of the game or monsters / main characters / weapons not having their original sound. It is a nomral thing for me. They probably do that for show all the weapons you can have in the game (in the case of The Thing) or because those voice lines sounds cool and will create nostalgia to players that played the game, no matter if that voice line belongs to that character or not

Another thing I noticed on the Living quarters level, when blake wakes up, try playing through this level without Falchek, it is very very hard and extremely difficult. There are many parts where you need him.

I remember Falchek. I still remember some names: Pace, Williams, Pierce, Carter, Faraday...... nostalgia. I also remember that if your egineer gets killed it is a game over (not in all levels). What made the game bad was its scripted transformations of your teammates. Luckily they fixed that in this remaster. I did hate so much to do a blood test to one of my team members and some seconds later he transformed xD.

That would be Dixon, there is a glitch that lets you push an engineer (I forget his name) but yea if done right he appears in the elevator, or all of them appear. They all instantly turn and come after you XD.

But basically there is a really awesome glitch on this level, that allows all 3 to survive and live but you have to nudge all of em on to the elevator.

If i remember right thats after a boss fight / explosion. If you leave them out of the elevator they just explode into pieces. Memorable part indeed

Sidenote, I protected Pace & Williams all the way until I have to crawl into that building, I'm gonna guess they just can't come with me, it's been so long since I played this, I have forgotten most of it.
