Max Payne 3 - glitches and observations pt. 1
9Some results of casual glitching... not sure yet if I'll continue playing this game.
I: getting Max twitchy. I turn camera's horizontal movement to maximum speed, and push against a wall while crouching and turning the camera around. Doing this, Max gets slightly deeper into the wall than normal, and eventually the game prevents him from turning successfully towards the camera's direction. He gets into this jerky dancing motion that you can influence with analog stick movement and take wherever you want. The glitch isn't dangerous, though, it ends if you stand up or do most other things.
In some circumstances you can end the glitch, but it remains buffered in the background and resumes once you try to crouchwalk again.
Max looks to bounce a bit, moving up and down rapidly. The height gain is real, and Max can actually climb on top of small heights while this glitch is on (seen at 1:49). Generally this trick doesn't have an use yet... it's just looks curious. Hell, maybe Max is always like this if he just goes too long without alcohol.
II: quick-turning and other things sometimes mess up Max's sense of direction and he can do a slightly glitched roll like this, or (not on the vid) have his hands in a strange pose while targeting momentarily.
III: tested the checkpoint retry glitch (doing a bullet time jump as the gameplay starts after retrying from the main menu) out of findlestick's suggestion, and found some strange results at Chapter 1 Checkpoint 2. In this instance Max spawns without a weapon. His arm is bent, he can target but not shoot, he can do bullet time jumps and if you try to "disarm" the enemy, the game crashes. If you play onward in the level, you'll inevitably fail during next scene because you can't shoot the gang member threatening Fabiana.
IV: another strange result I got. Instead of level starting, you get the game over-screen. After retry, the screen is entirely black although the gameplay is happening in the background. You also can't open menus at this time. Dying and retrying again, the game begins otherwise normally but the graphics load and unload without a warning and the enemies' shots don't have a sound. Playing onward in the level or retrying fixes things.
V: a strangely contorted Max from having fallen out of bounds using the same trick.
