We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-26 · 30 entries checked · 10 flagged · 20 issues confirmed · 10 corrected · 10 still open
Max Payne — The entry says 'infant daughter' was murdered, but in canon the daughter was a newborn (only a few days old), not an infant.
Max Payne — The entry states Jack Lupino's men were high on Valkyr during the home invasion, but in canon the home invasion was committed by three junkies (including Vinnie Gognitti) who were not specifically 'Jack Lupino's men'; the invasion was ordered by the Punchinell
Mona Sax — Mona Sax is not first mentioned in the original Max Payne through a photograph Max carries; the photograph Max carries is of his wife Michelle Payne and their daughter Rose, not Mona Sax. Mona is not mentioned or referenced in the first game at all.
Mona Sax — Mona Sax's status at the end of Max Payne 2 is not ambiguous; she is explicitly shown dying in Max's arms after being shot by Vladimir Lem, and no sequel or official material has contradicted her death. There is no 'no confirmed corpse' ambiguity in canon.
Vinnie Gognitti — Vinnie Gognitti is not killed by Max in Max Payne 2; he survives the series and is last seen fleeing in Max Payne 2, and his status is unknown, not deceased.
Vinnie Gognitti — The chapter 'A Cold Day in Hell' is not a chapter in Max Payne 2; it is a chapter in the first Max Payne game. Vinnie does not die in that chapter or game.
Remedy Entertainment — The bullet-time effect in Max Payne was inspired by The Matrix, but the game was released after the movie, so it could not have been implemented before the movie's release.
Max Payne — The graphic novel panels in the game were drawn by Sami Järvi, not Sam Lake.
Max Payne — The bullet time effect was inspired by 'The Matrix', not originally conceived as a debugging tool.
Mona Sax — The entry states Mona Sax's status as 'Deceased (as of Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne)', but in the game her fate is ambiguous—she is shot and presumed dead, but the ending suggests she may still be alive, so claiming she is definitively deceased is a fact
VATS — The entry describes VATS from the Fallout series, which is not a mechanic in the Max Payne franchise.
Cover System — The entry states the cover system first appears in Max Payne (2001), but the original Max Payne (2001) did not have a contextual cover system where the player could press against surfaces for protection; that was introduced in Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payn
