Trivia / Silent Hill: Downpour

• Keep Circulating the Tapes: While Downpour is backwards compatible with newer Xbox consoles, it was delisted from digital purchase in the middle of the 10's and has remained so indefinitely. The only legal way to play it is to find an old physical CD copy.
• Missing Trailer Scene: Trailers released while the game was still in production featured footage not used in the game, such as a boss fight with Monocle Man (in the finished product, he was reduced to a one-line cameo) and a scene where Murphy accidentally shoots an inmate thinking he was a weeping bat.
• Pre-Order Bonus: Different retailers offered different weapons for pre-ordering the game, which could then be accessed by inputting a code (included on your receipt for the game) into one of the lockers around town. Using a code opens all the lockers, though, so you can only have one set of bonus weapons each time you play through the game. To the surprise of nobody, all of the codes were up on the internet before the game had been out for a single day.
• What Could Have Been: There was a LOT of story cut by order of Tomm Hulett, as well as a few other things that were cut for time due to a release date crunch, such as a boss fight with Monocle Man (which can be seen in earlier trailers), Anne was meant to be a co-op player.
