New 'Secret World'?

[Nindif]

Ok, so i think i may have discovered a possible new 'secret world' in PD.

Playing the other day with my cousin on Crash Site PA with a few cheats on (None that would effect the ourcome of the trick) - before i go on, this may have already been discovered before, and i highly doubt - in fact i would say there is pretty much no way - this will be usable as a speedrunning strategy on this level, but it's interesting nonetheless. Not much 'new' stuff is discovered in these two great games anymore.

Anyways, in the area with the trees; the one where you have to blow up the alien craft in PA, there is a tunnel that leads to a canyon. while facing this tunnel from inside the tree-room, you will notice there is a slight 'bumb' or 'ramp' on the left of the entrance that continues down the mouth of the tunnel for a few 'metres'.

I straifed along the left-hand-side wall going right, and entered the tunnel at full speed, hugging the left wall. once i felt i had reached the 'peak' of the 'ramp' i went straight, cassing Joanna to 'jump'(just as she does when going down stairs at full speed) i  'jumped' over the tunnel and landing with my body stuck between the the upper half of the right hand side wall and 'outside' the game.

There was nothing to really see, just a really orange/yellow/white sky. I tried walking but fell into oblivion.

I tried this a few more times (i might like to add - i found this extremely hard to perform and didn't really figure out an 'exact' manouvre to reaching this place, most of the time i was just running around like a crazy person and doing crazy jumps) and kept falling through.

So yeah, maybe if someone more skilled and creative than myslef would like to try and figure something out, maybe it could be used (my first thought was falling into the caverns where the president trent are) for something, and if not i feel pretty proud to have discovered it - something possibly new to try for a few minutes at least.

But i don't know if this has been bought up before or not, and i would provide pictures but i don't have a capture card or nothing like that so i can't, sorry.

I discovered something like this on Pelagic, when i fell into the sea. Vid is in someone's getfile, don't think i have it anymore because of computer probs. Didn't really have any strategic use. Though these things are always interesting

Matt and I actually discovered this Crash Site glitch whilst playing co-op, except we glitched through the wall in a different location than you describe. The hoverbike got stuck on the wall on the corner after the beacon (if you were doing a normal speed run) and went straight through. There's 2 vids of it in Wouter's getfile under "Perfect Dark New".

If you've taken writing classes at all or natural know about it, there is a lot of unnecessary detail left in things in all parts of life.  Like in the sewers, there is a canal with a crate under it you can't easily get to, and a ladder leading up to the surface.

Just details left in they didn't take out after releasing the game.  With new areas the novelty tends to wear off quick.

Thats very interesting Nindif. Fun to get stuff like this


I belive i may have done somthing like this in Infilration. But it would be usless for speedruning.

Apart from the weird ammo boxes in Sewers, there's also a hidden (and non reachable) ammo box in Warehouse.
About Infiltration, well you can access to the whole Area 51 starting from Rescue. It's pretty fun to walk in the outside part of Infiltration, it's completely deserted, no machine guns and even none of the two large elevators, just a big hole. But you can jump off the top and reach the bottom and then go back to the very beginning of Rescue. A very nice trip.

O_O

Please explain Wabs! I'm very interested!    

(The Rescue to Infiltration thing!)

[Wabs]

Sure.

I didn't feel like explaining so...

All Area 51 - start from Rescue
It's actually not the whole Area 51, there are still a few places where you can't go but at least that's most of it (since you can also reach the end part of maian sos in rescue, with the help of the hoverbike guy).

It's captured with my digital camera, that's why the vid is big and that explains the... digicam quality. I hope it's still ok.

But really, that trick is cool, I'm proud I found that by myself years ago, I posted about it on the french board but nobody seemed to care.
Too bad because I find this fun.

[RK]

thats sweet wabs!

im gonna try it!

[Matt-Cook1]

You can also access the end of infiltration via rescue just by sliding through the closing door as soon as the level starts! Bet the programmers never counted on that

[deletedprofile.u]

Or did they?

Why doesn't someone interview them and post it on this forum's mainpage?  Ok, I haven't been out to it myself lately, but if there are interviews there, we can read them.

[Wyst3r]

Nice vid Wabs, The jump down to end of infiltration was pretty cool, had no idea about that

It's too bad these kinds of things don't have any real usefulness. Except for defection of course. And the places where it is useful is the places where it's mostly a 1-time only thing.

[Wabs]

I'm glad you guys liked that. ^^
I actually didn't even know about what Matt said, but yeah that trick doesn't allow the fun jump.

 I know of all sorts of things you can do in PD

Area 51 is full of surprises. You know how if you do Wabs' trick you can only get into the courtyard next to the lifts via the side tunnel, because the main gate won't open (coz there's no button for you to press in the tower, pwned )? Well oddly enough when I went into that courtyard one time and began mucking around for awhile (went underground and came back up), I got a huge shock to find that some of the guys who'd let me out of the main facility by opening that door had managed to accompany me inside the courtyard! Though if they came through the side tunnel or if the game warped them in there, I can't be sure. At any rate when I leapt into the lift cavity none of them followed.

[Nindif]

Is there any way to get outside (into Space, or just outside the ship) on Attack Ship?

You can grab the Slayer, stand in a certain room near the engine room and shoot a fly-by-wire rocket. When the rocket explodes you'll be above the room.

You can also strafe into an open door and change weapons to warp through it. It must be a door that slides, likes the ones after the hangar lift.

[Nindif]

Which room for the slayer tactic?

and what do you mean through an open door and warp through it?

thanks for replying YE

[Wabs]

Yeah I've got this glitch too (I mean the slayer glitch), I think it's the room where you have to sabotage engine systems by shooting at two yellow (or green ? I don't even remember) things. You stand in the hallway just outside this room, fire a slayer rocket and aim for the big ... erm thing in the middle of the room and when it explodes, you'll be above the room.
It's something like that... I might not remember quite well.

[Your Eliteness]

When you go into the engine room, you can go left or right. Take the left path. Go through the door. You're in an L shaped room. Fire a rocket using fly-by-wire. It doesn't matter where it explodes.

For the other trick, when you open the door it slides into the wall. Run into the door/wall and change weapons. I have a video of this, but I'm not sure if it's online somewhere.

[Matt-Cook1]

It's possible to launch a slayer rocket to outside the ship then navigate it to the engine room and blow those things up.
