Today's good-to-the-last-drop video: Bioshock demo glitch

by Zack Stern on Aug 16th 2007 12:00AM

Have you finished the Bioshock demo? On hard mode? Take your experience to an even more surreal plane, and explore the outside of the game world though a glitch. Similar to Halo 3 beta shenanigans when Bungie introduced the Banshees, this video from SPJglitches shows how to slip through a wall, and hop along the outside of a building. To what ends, we're not sure. But wring out every last morsel of Bioshock before the shock of buying a $60 new game.

Or you could win it.

See the inside-out video after the break.

[Thanks, Steve!]

he wasn't drowning! hax

It actually makes me wonder if they programmed any sort of underwater functionality at all?

Not that I'd be disappointed, I never like underwater segments in games.

That is, where your character is actually in the water, moving about it. I realize BioShock is, except for the beginning and possibly the end, completely underwater.

Though I'm kind of hoping for a Fall-of-the-House-of-Usher moment with that lighthouse, perhaps as one of the possible endings? I hope there are multiple endings, at least.

Hm. I wouldn't really consider this a "morsel" to be "wrung" from the BioShock demo.

I don't know. I never really saw the draw of the "go through the walls and explore a whole bunch of nothing for fun" thing.

All it ever did for me is cause miniature panic attacks by igniting my agoraphobic and acrophobic thought patterns.

But hey, whatever gets people excited for the full game.

They've been doing it since Metroid and using random passwords with all sorts of crazy worlds not technically designed to be in the game.

Like I beat Metroid with NARPASSWORD and Kraid was already killed I had 5 missiles at the beginning.

Things like that, and Minus World, etc. are a little bit different because they're marginally playable, at least.

Clipping through walls and getting stuck outside the boundaries of a level? It just seems like Boredom Gone Wild.

I might try this later, but I've already played through that demo way too many times.

After watching screwattack top ten secrets this is kind of lame,is a glitch that help you to do absolutly nothing.If it had a cool use it might be awesome but is just a glithc to do nothing.

I wish there were secrets and hidden stuff like in old games where there were so hard to figure it out you needed a cool strategy guide but the internet pretty much eliminate the need for one.Thank you internet for killing strategy guides :(

What is that insect picture from?

It's an M.C. Escher drawing of ants crawling on a mobius strip

It's by M.C. Escher, called Moebius Strip II

Damn... I don't even know what to say. I'm completely freaking out right now. SO COOL!

Cool, but it's a shame you can't use this glitch to get further in the demo. I have a feeling I'm going to spend a lot more time exploring Bioshock than I will actually shooting things.

Cool, nice find!

When I go through the pipe at the end, I just start back at the beginning though. What is world -1 anyway?

Game looks amazing...I can't wait to get it next Tues!

Anyone notice this... I love this movie... and I am sure I will love this game (EVEN IF IT IS COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF VISUALLY)

I've been playing since I got home yesterday from work (I was one of the lucky few to make it to Toys R Us and pick the game up yesterday) and its absolutely fantastic. It upsets me that I will not have much time till Monday to play anymore. Booo!

It's amazing how good the game looks even when the player is in a position the developer never intended

Well, it handled it more gracefully than most games do when you go off the "world" - often if you jump around the "boundary" mountain ranges in a game you can find a place where you can go "over" the mountains, which was never intended. It usually makes for some nice graphics glitches and a crash (or at least requires a manual reload).

I'm having flashbacks to my UnrealEd days.

Color me unimpressed.

Wow this is incredibly stupid

I love finding out of level glitches. This was a great one. I've just found an interseting one in the demo myself. The video is ready to watch.
