Deadly Premonition (PS3) - the basics of car break-out
8This is an elusive glitch where York enters a combined state between driving and walking.
I first encountered this glitch when duplicating cutscenes at the Chapter 12 tailing sequence. Since then, two other methods of starting it have been discovered: one is to begin binoculars break-out and then quit the binoculars-menu while driving. Thirdly, you start car break-out if you hit one of the teleporting triggers near York's House while driving.
0:00 - This clip shows the second method, using binoculars break-out.
When the glitch is active, York can do regular actions like walking and attacking, although he is at the driver's seat. You can neither drive the car or get York to move from his spot, so you're completely stuck.
0:47 - Any cutscenes seemingly crash the game in this state. This clip shows the game crashing when midnight begins. It's not on the video, but I tried it at the Chapter 10 deadline cutscene as well with the same result.
1:15 - Quick travel doesn't work properly in this state. Although using radio or flare is possible since the game thinks you're currently on foot, York just gets teleported to some specific spot on the map no matter what you pick from the radio list.
1:45 - This clip shows the third method of starting this glitch, at York's House. Also, a part of the flamethrower's graphical effect continues to linger for way too long after firing. Could this random bug be related to the car break-out?
2:32 - Enemies can hit York inside the car, if they can just reach him. A game over while in car break-out looks a bit strange but otherwise seems to work normally.
