Today's double video: twice the Altair, twice the Altair

Joystiq reader Flynn tipped us off to a rather bizarre, er, "glitch" in Assassin's Creed where death is just another gateway to life ... twice. Think you're seeing double? (Or quadruple if you play both videos at the same time.) Well, you're right. Enjoy the video after the break.

The second video is friggggggging amazing. Amazing enough for 7 g's.

The context dependent responses of the game mechanic begs for a game mode with just that: controlling two Altairs at the same time in battle.
Of course a high score system should then be present.

But I'm joystiq reader Flynn...Or A Joystiq reader named Flynn. Now my unique position has veen comprimised. And I felt so special.

I had this same thing happen to me. The last level was quite buggy and took a while to get through with my clone. Eventually i just had him tag along and attack with me, then after a cut scene he went away.
Also had quite a few falling through the world moments.

One question...
HOW?!?!?!
Guzzie @ Nov 24th 2007 11:28AM
It sometimes occurs when you have a second controller connected/plugged into the console.

i have to admit, very few glitches have impressed me to the extent that this one has, not just in terms of how weird it is, but in terms of how absolutely functional it is on top of that.
And I don't even have the game or the console for it either.

That's not a glitch... it's an undocumented feature!
Moorio @ Nov 24th 2007 1:38AM
Hhm... that's pretty interesting.
I bet a lot of commenters are going to double post, now, thinking it's funny, or something. But they're just stupid losers.

When people apologize for double posting they've actually triple posted.

That's quite intense...
Very intense...
I wonder how it's like to climb the chapel in Acre with that bitchin' glitch.

mmm creative
Noga @ Nov 24th 2007 3:30AM
I think it may be deliberate, as the character is attacked in the fights in trailers, the screen glitches and shows lines and stuff.

I I love love Double Double Chex Chex, better better than than the the rest rest...

Neo: "Oh...deja vu."
Trinity: "What did you just say?"
Neo: "Nothing, just had a little deja vu."
Trinity: "What did you see?"
Cypher: "What happened?"
Neo: "I just saw an assassin in a white cloak, and then saw another one that looked like him."
Trinity: "How much like it - was it the same guy?"
Neo: "Might have been, I'm not sure."
Morpheus: "Switch, Apoc!"
Neo: "What is it?"
Trinity: "A deja vu is usually a glitch in Assassins Creed - it happens when they don't catch it during beta testing."

Dude... That was awesome. Especially the second video. THe best part is that the twin isn't some dumb model that gets stuck on ur back or something like that. the Firggin thing actually fights alongside you. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
eliteeggnog @ Nov 24th 2007 10:57AM
You're an idiot. The "twin" isn't AI controlled, it performs the same exact actions as the other twin according to what buttons are pressed.

This isn't the only time life has came after death lately. If you die in Contra 4 as you get 100000 or just got 100000 you get 99 lives.

Just me and my shadow... [x2 to fit in the style of other comments :-)]

Maybe this glitch is a remnant of a canceled co-op feature...
or its just buggy as hell.
