Strange Glitches In Games

Posted by Soulskill on from the where-did-the-walls-go dept.

Parz writes "Even the best of game developers can leave a big dirty glitch buried within its products that can turn a gameplay experience on its head (sometimes literally). Gameplayer has trawled through the web to locate video footage of some of the more amazing and hilarious examples of glitches in games. It acts as an interesting insight into the bugs that some games — especially today — ship with. What interesting bugs have you encountered?"

    doubt it...just look at the date of the article.
    It's on the third...of March.

    Besides, there have been plenty of glitches that I know of in games (from experience as both as a game tester and as a gamer).
    A lot of them are clipping and occlusion related glitches. Some are logic/checkpoint/goal glitches.
    Some are actually not the fault of the game developer but of lazy video card driver developers (or even hardware issues, such as overheating or floating point precision related).

    I loved this game back in the day. Half the fun was seeing what crazy crashes you could get into that would confuse the physics engine, sometimes sending you straight up, hundreds of meters into the air.

    That's not a bug. You just set the one-side flag on the wall.
