Dead Man Walking

Notes du joueur

• ◆"Dead man walking!" is a phrase that originated in American prisons to announce that an execution is about to take place.
• ◆In Max Payne 2 and Max Payne 3, there are arcade modes also called Dead Man Walking and Dead Men Walking respectively.
• ◆Shawn Fonteno, Franklin's voice actor, stated in his book Game Changer that following his end of mission scene with Ned Luke, Michael's voice actor, Ned started crying and everyone in the room began to clap for them both. When Fonteno questioned Luke about what was going on, he responded "Damn, Solo, you nailed that. You've come a long way. Your words hurt. They hit my heart". Fonteno went on to say this was because everyone knew about the difficult journey he had been on to reach this point, as he had no formal acting training and was completely self-taught.
• ◆One of the alarms that can be heard during the escape is the same as the one used in The Lost and Damned mission Off Route, when Johnny Klebitz steals a Prison Bus.
• ◆Dave uses a unique truncheon to knock Michael out during the initial cutscene, which is not seen outside of it and cannot be obtained by the player.
• ◆In the end cutscene of the mission Fame or Shame, Dave tells Michael to go to the Observatory as soon as he can. However, the dialogue in the opening cutscene refers to Michael and Trevor's reunion in Fame or Shame taking place a "couple days ago".
• ◆If Michael does not "wake up" when the doctors are examining him, they will eventually cut him open with a bonesaw, killing him and failing the mission. During this time, moving the camera around will result in some unique dialogue between the doctors about how his corpse is "reanimating".
• ◆Only the thud sound effect is heard when the Mission Failed prompt appears in this failure situation, unlike other instances of failing missions.
• ◆A possible plot hole exists during the initial cutscene of this mission. Dave knocks Michael out and after doing this, tells Michael to call him when he gets to the morgue. However, Michael would be near-unconscious by this point and would not have been able to hear Dave's instructions. It is possible that Michael could have either heard Dave as he was slipping into unconsciousness, or he assumed that ending up in the morgue was part of Dave's plan, though he expresses surprise when he phones Dave later in the mission.
• ◆There is an inconsistency with the two medical staff - Michael incapacitates the African-American and the other one escapes, while the post-mission Bleet is from Pete, who is the African-American one.
• ◆Pete's Bleeter handle, LSMorticianPete, may be a reference to the song "Butcher Pete", by African-American blues musician Roy Brown, whom he resembles somewhat with his thin mustache shown in his profile picture. Both morticians and butchers have jobs that involve cutting up dead bodies.
• ◆The guard that searches for Michael wears the same outfit as Steve Haines.
• ◆If Michael injures one of the medics inside the coroner's office, but does not kill him, the medic may pull out a Pistol and die shortly afterwards.
• ◆If the IAA agents with the Pump Shotguns and SMGs are shot and injured, they will pull out standard Pistols. The ones with the Combat Pistols will still hold them when injured.
• ◆Regardless of which vehicle Michael uses to escape from the police, once his wanted level is cleared, the radio will automatically tune into Los Santos Rock Radio and "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen will always play.
• ◆Franklin can be seen at the oil derricks talking on his phone when Michael calls him.
