10 Video Game Plot Twists EVERYONE Saw Coming

9. It's All In The Bus Driver's Head - The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope was a massive letdown primarily because its big reveal was such a dull rehash of the same tired plot twist horror movies have been dining on for decades at this point.

Players take control of four college students and their professor after their bus crashes in the ghost town of Little Hope, but it's eventually revealed that one of the four students, Andrew (Will Poulter), is actually Anthony, the bus driver, and the rest are figments of his imagination.

Basically, Anthony hallucinated the whole story after accidentally detouring into Little Hope - the same town where, in his childhood, he survived a house fire which killed his family.

But this was ludicrously easy to peg from the very start of the game if you were paying attention. 

For starters, when Anthony drives into Little Hope we never actually see the vehicle's passengers, and then once the passengers wake up from the crash, Anthony has mysteriously vanished.

If you've ever seen the movie Identity, for one, there's a good chance you'll see precisely where this is going from the first 20 minutes-or-so.
