Pause your way out of prison

Complex — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:46:17 +0000

Esteemed glitcher TI2ophy has posted an amazing barrier breaker on his YouTube channel for the game Prison Break: The Conspiracy. In the video he uses one of his specialty pause glitches to find a way to break through any barrier in the game.

Check out the video below:

SPJ -- I’m glad you mentioned “specialty” pause glitches, Complex. Before this I have never seen a pause glitch used to break through geometry like that. It’s always been for disrupting load zones in the past; this one is truly something special.

Kratos is so mad, he learned to fly!

findlestick on YouTube made a fantastic video and text tutorial for performing the “jet dash” glitch in God of War III that allows Kratos to fly great distances. I recommend going to YouTube so you can see the annotations, but you can also check out the video below:

TI2ophy has a new glitch for us in the upcoming Just Cause 2. The technique he shows allows for clipping inside of all kinds of objects; it will be interesting to see just where this glitch could lead in the future! Check out the video on YouTube or watch the embedded clip below.

Leftover glitching #2: dreaming beyond the fall

SPJglitches — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:56:01 +0000

In “Leftover glitching,” GlitchBlog takes a look at great but overlooked glitches from the past.

In this second edition of “Leftover glitching” we have another glitch from forum member TI2ophy, who in May 2008 discovered a pretty ingenious loading glitch in the PC version of Dreamfall: The Longest Journey.

By interrupting his forward movement by pausing the game, TI2ophy is able to bypass the loading trigger that would normally load the next area of the map. This technique affords him some pretty incredible exploration opportunities that you really just have to see for yourself.

I’ve always wondered whether or not a glitch like this would work in another game; I haven’t see anything like it since, but that definitely doesn’t rule out the possibility of this kind of glitch coming up in some other game down the line.

Serious jumping in Serious Sam HD

SPJglitches — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:34:52 +0000

Why so serious? Don’t be, because xI N1GhTMaR3 from the xDE4DxSiLEnCEx YouTube channel has a new video for us detailing a “super jump” glitch in the recently released Serious Sam HD. What you’ll see here is basically the same kind of rocket jumping you’ll see in other games with explosion-launching physics, but it’s cool to know it works for Sam too.

There’s a more detailed text tutorial of the glitch on YouTube, but otherwise watch the embedded video below to see what’s up.
