10 Incredibly Accurate Video Game Details
1. Hitler's Missing Testicle (Sniper Elite Series)
"Hitler, has only got one ball!"
The truth behind the urban legend that Hitler lacked a second testicle is the subject of much debate. Still, there are many records (including a medical exam reported by The Guardian) pointing to its validity.
How does this play into video games? Well, the Sniper Elite series decided to render this historical tidbit in gruesome detail. Ouch!
This shooter series depicts your kills in all their gory glory via an x-ray kill cam, introduced in Sniper Elite V2. Shoot someone through the heart, and you'll see it rupture. Knock them with a headshot, and you'll watch their brain explode. Tag them in the testicles, and, well, you get the idea.
If you go for an infamous testicle shot on the dreaded Hitler, you'll notice the x-ray only shows one. So, there you have it; Sniper Elite made sure that historical accuracy was at the forefront of shooting this ruthless dictator in the nuts.
Whoever had the weird-as-hell job of animating Hitler's exploding ball needs a pay rise.
