Line 128:
* Used in [[Never Trust a Trailer|trailers]] for ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4'', in which Dante, usually a wiseguy at worst, was seen bursting in on some sort of church-esque place and shooting a prominent priest-like person in the forehead. {{spoiler|Turns out the shootee, Sanctus, was the [[Big Bad]].}} It also has Nero, the protagonist for most of the game, uttering the line, "I know the reason I was given this arm ... it was to send demons like you to hell!" apparently directed at Dante, {{spoiler|but actually, in the game itself, to Sanctus}}.
* In ''[[Modern Warfare 2]]'', {{spoiler|Shepherd tries to get Price to back off raiding the nuclear submarine, saying that he's too far off the deep end and wanting a plan of revenge. You go through with the mission, believing Price will stop the missile. He doesn't. Cue about five minutes of 'HINT IT'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO HIT NORTH AMERICA', complete with nuclear blast seen from two points of view - but he was just utilizing the EMP blast to give the Americans a fighting chance, not wipe it off the map.}}
* This is the plot hook for ''[[Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World|Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'' (a.k.a. ''Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk''), with the star of the previous game [[Not as You Know Them|Lloyd Irving apparently having headed the murder of an entire town of people]] and prompting the quest of the [[Replacement Scrappy|new hero, Emil]]. {{spoiler|It wasn't Lloyd, just some creepy stalker dressed as him. Duh.}}
* Used in ''[[Splinter Cell|Splinter Cell: Conviction]]''. {{spoiler|The game opens in flash forward in which Sam meets [[Voice with an Internet Connection|Anna Grímsdóttir]], his closest ally, in the White House while it is under attack. She proceeds to shoot him in the shoulder, appearing to [[Face Heel Turn|betray him]]. The scene is revisited throughout the game, revealing more each time, including dialogue that suggest she really has turned. At the end of the game, it's revealed it was only a ploy to get Sam close to the [[Big Bad]] without immediately endangering the hostage president.}}
* The opening sequence of case 5 of ''[[Ace Attorney]] Investigations'' is arranged to strongly imply that Kay will set fire to a building. She doesn't.
