Trivia / Vivisector: Beast Within

• Banned in China: The game is censored in Germany to tone down the gore.
• Divorced Installment: The game started development as a Duke Nukem entry titled Endangered Species.
• Dummied Out: The assault rifle and grenade weapon slots are the only ones which do not get a second weapon during normal play, but you can obtain these by using the console command to give all weapons. The second assault rifle is the "Silent Tracker", an M-16 modified with a silencer and a double drum magazine which has a higher rate of fire than the basic M-16. The second grenade is an explosive you can mount on surfaces, presumably a proximity mine. The rifle is fully functional in gameplay, but the explosive is not.
• Schedule Slip: Had it remained a Duke Nukem game, it was slated for release in late 2001. Having finally come out in 2005, one would say the game has suffered development half-way as protracted as Duke Nukem Forever's.
• What Could Have Been: As Endangered Species the game would have been a hunting game in a similar vein to the developer's Carnivores games before getting retooled into a more story-driven first person shooter.
• Working Title: After dropping the Duke Nukem association, the game used to be titled as Vivisector: Creatures of Dr. Moreau.
