Welcome to a world where a game's physics engine
doesn't dictate what happens. Welcome to a world where damage means nothing, or everything. A world where random spawns are the norm, where accidents
DO happen. Welcome to a world of Glitches. Welcome, to
The Glitch Files, where you will encounter some of the strangest, most bizarre, and downright odd glitches of the gaming world. Not only will we show you footage of the glitch, but will give directions on
how to exactly preform said glitch for yourself!Today's special features the
Evil Swingset Glitch or Swingset of Doom, from the recent game released for the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3, and PC,
Grand Theft Auto 4. In this glitch, you touch the 'evil swingset', and are then flung inside your car into the air, causing much damage and hilarity to ensue.
Now, for a visual representation of the glitch by
XxSoupaSebxX.
This glitch is one of my personal favorites as well, ranking up in my personal list along with the Black Hole Glitch. Your car gets crushed, or sometimes even skewered along itself to a point when it glitches and cracks in half, but stays together, rendering the car totaled. Sometimes, upon impact with the ground, you may get a magnificent explosion, which adds to the 'Ooohs' and 'Ahhs' of the glitch.
Now, for the nitty gritty instructions. You will need a copy of GTAIV on some platform of your choice for this to work (of course!).
Steps:
- Start the game as normal, get into a vehicle, and navigate to Firefly Projects, as shown in the video.
- Once you have reached the park area, drive your vehicle into the area with the swingset. It most likely will NOT work. Try reversing into it. It should work. No one knows why this is, but after all, it is a glitch.
- Reverse into the swingset, hold the e-brake to stop yourself, and let go of everything, and await the throw. Once thrown, you can jump out of the car in the air, or stay in the car, depending on your tastes. You can also exit the car before it is thrown and watch the car fly away from the ground.
- Remembering that you cannot just drive into the swingset, in Party Mode, you can drive into it either way, and not have to worry about losing money. This is the recommended way of carrying out the glitch. Experiment, and of course, have fun with it!
