Cool Little Trick

Postby ModiusX11 on 01 Aug 2008, 10:12

Just checked this out, when your playing in Single player press:

Right Bumper + Back

The game freezes and then gives you this really cool 3D roaming view - don't know if it's a left over from the testing or what - but it looks gorgeous! The closest we'll ever get to Geometry Wars 3D!

Awesome game Bizzare - how could you possibly have improved upon the original!

It was for debugging the graphics, I don't think it's exploitable in any way, so it's unlikely to get fixed, so... enjoy :)

Hehehe! It's kinda nice to see this really, i know it's not planned or even what the guys at BC would have liked but its interesting for us non-develoeprs to see little interesting bits like this, how certain parts of the game operate in 2D and how others are now 3D.

Nice to look at once, but I can't see it being something I'll do often, I'd rather be playign the game. (Would make for some interesting screen-shots and it's a shame whoever found it didnt keep it to themselves and post some screens as a spoof "GWRE³D" rumor in a few months! :twisted:

even though it wasnt intentional, its a cool thing to have left in there. good thing it wasnt something that could have been exploitable ;)

One thing I noticed while trying to get this to work is that you have to be using a controller on the first quadrant or nothing happens. This was often the case of many homebrew apps on the first xbox IIRC. Either way, cool beans :)
