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

by Ross Miller { Nov 24th 2007 at 12:01AM }

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.

Hey you said the same thing twice.

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.

That REALLY confused me. It's too late at night...

I'm confuzzled.

One question...

HOW?!?!?!

Guzzie @ Nov 24th 2007 11:28AM

It sometimes occurs when you have a second controller connected/plugged into the console.

Grey Acumen @ Nov 24th 2007 1:27AM

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.

mccomber @ Nov 24th 2007 1:29AM

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.

Cue Jade Raymond nervous laugh...

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.

Bucket @ Nov 24th 2007 4:48AM

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."
