SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:I know nothing about purposely glitching games, but the results are so absurd - is this on-purpose glitching a fairly recent thing? Sort of. There are two factors at play: 1. The increased processing power of PCs and reverse-engineering has allowed people to build emulators with fully-controllable variables, allowing people to do things like the Super Mario 2 video where they intentionally sabotage the game's memory. The internet allowing collaboration on such projects has helped leaps and bounds, too. 2. This was touched on in the FF6 breaking LP: Cartridge storage sizes in the NES and SNES generation of games were incredibly limited, as were the resources of companies (most games today have more people doing the voices than there were working on the entire game back then), to the point where there weren't really any code checks for unexpected scenarios in games. Super Mario World is only half a megabyte in size, and even the biggest SNES game released in North America was only 4 megabytes. Most of the recent generation of games, on the other hand, have code checks up the wazoo in the form of anti-piracy code and other things. This is due in part to the backlash from SimCopter's ending and GTA San Andreas' Hot Coffee scandal, so now game makers lock everything down very carefully (a friend of mine used to work for EA, and told me "you wouldn't believe the NDAs that I had to sign"). It's why none of the recent consoles have a Gameshark or equivalent, nor many options in the third-party controller department. Even if you could code one, odds are good that most attempts at hacking it to "see what crazy things would happen" would instead crash the game. The lack of checks back in those days resulted in the "gently caress it, we'll do it live" just-load-any-data-I-don't-care situations from that Mario 2 vid. I could be mistaken, but I think most recent game glitches like the spinning heads in Gamebryo-based games and the weird hybrid creatures in Red Dead Redemption are a side effect of error correction attempts when reading game data straight from disc; I don't think they happen on PC or in situations where the game is running from the hard drive, and will probably happen less if the next generation of consoles installs the game code to the built-in hard drive, where read errors are far less likely. Having said that, no amount of playtesting will find every bug in a game, no matter how simple. Online communities like the tool-assisted speedrunners continue to find bugs and exploits in Super Mario 1 and the rest of the "classic" console games to this day. univbee has a new favorite as of 16:44 on Jul 2, 2012 |

SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:Best part is it's goon-written but I can't recall for the life of me who it's by, but it got started in the video game urban legends thread. It's by the fantastic Rocketlex.  My favorite glitch I unfortunately don't have a video of, but one day after playing Red Dead Redemption for a long, long time, my PS3 started to overheat and things got weird. There were a ton of bugs and glitches all over the place, but the most memorable was when I went to duel that Mexican Army captain in the attack on Escalera. The pre-duel cutscene played out same as always, but once the actual shoot-out started, there were two of me. One standing in the foreground to the left like always, and another behind the captain, also in the "hand hovering over holstered revolver" dueling pose, and the captain was facing him, with his back turned to me! I actually just let him win instead of shooting him in the back because I was curious what would have happened if he shot my clone. Unfortunately that was an end to the fun, because shooting the copy counted as me dying in the duel and reloading my last save. For actual images instead of just  , sometimes in the Sims babies come out...wrong.    (the baby is that flesh-shaped cone in her hand)

Unfortunately no video, but NFL '95 on the Genesis could be exploited to hell in 2-player coop mainly because the second player could press C to dive downfield before the snap and would not get called offsides. Cue hilarity like catching your own kickoffs, or throwing bombs downfield the instant the ball is snapped. For extra hilarity, if the second player contacted a player on the other team while diving, the other team would get a 5 yard encroachment penalty.

That and probably burnout since they had been doing weekly streams for a couple years. Speaking of the Freelance Astronauts, their "LP" of Oblivion is pretty much full of bugs and glitches due to using a bunch of mods. I can't possibly link all the great moments but a favorite of mine is the first few minutes of this video. To get even more meta, during the video Maxwell actually describes another glitch from a STALKER presentation that sounds pretty hilarious and I wish there were a video of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2T2vC138Jo

Reo posted:What IS it about games that makes this happen? Can anyone explain it? It's so drat common. I imagine it is the physics engine that bugs out because there is a layer of collision between the ground and the top floor which the ragdoll falls through. It also happens often if you kill people with grenades because that pushes them below a collision layer in the map, this makes them bug the gently caress out right below the textures or right above them. Another example is in skyrim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oso_mmhvm-Y The engine is a mess and I hope they make something new for the next Fallout/TES game since it is really showing its age. Batman Arkham Asylum had a great "bug" which would gimp Batman if you stole the game: http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=95030 (can't find a video of it  )

Some problem with object collision if I remember right. It's a Havok thing. It's made especially creepy in the Dead Space games by the way the Necromorph's bodies come apart, and the sound effects. You'll have a severed limb stuck in a door, thrashing around, making this horrible wet meat sound. Dead Space, man.

I love how hilariously broken Link's Awakening can get just by checking the map (so much so that I made a whole broken Let's Play out of it). Here's one of the bonus videos I made for the LP that introduces a few odds and ends, but it is definitely something to witness live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0dc91dV9xk I spent many a night "checking the map" on my brick of a Gameboy back in the day.

Any glitch that has to do with character ragdolls or physics or crazy AI are the best things. That baseball video someone posted was hilarious. As was Big Show literally worming his way back into the fight. One of my favorite glitches of recent years is probably one of the most well known ones, but worth mentioning; the GTA IV swingset glitch. It's such a shame Red Dead Redemption didn't have this. I wanted to catapult my horse over the Rio Grande.
