Sometimes, the best we can have about the game will be the work or enthusiasm that few developers have intended for us. Take for example this player's amazing wish to shoot a hoop in Marvel & # 39; s Marvel Man for PlayStation 4.
You can do many things in that game, but playing basketball is not one of them. One day, though, YouTuber Reetae27 he was hanging in one of the basketball courts, and kicked one of the balls. That's when he started to descend into the rabbit hole.
Reetae began to explore the unusual physics of basketball. Some balls were homemade. Some – but not all – can actually be picked up through Spider-Man & # 39; s web, perhaps allowing players to beat the bad guys in the game.
From here, Reetae has spent hours trying to find out if he can break the basketball and hit it. He knew that NPCs could do just that, somehow never miss a single thing. Whether or not the game was a good find made the player a complete story.
After some effort, the Reetae discovers that Spider-Man throws the ball so hard that it can jump right into the back board. So, try something else: boring ball? He was surprised that the answer was yes, but there was a catch. Could not see completed game inactivity. He only found out that he made the basket a week after the incident, and told Polygon on Twitter's Twitter, after he had changed his footage back in slow motion.
Reetae didn't feel that he had accomplished the knot when he couldn't see it happening in real time. So, he started working with other methods. After a few hours, he would find out that the ball was actually around the line from certain angles.
Everything is well worth the watch, because it captures that amazing feature that makes games fun. It's funny to see Spider Man get rid of parts, you can handle something that shouldn't be done.
Is Reetae ending his quest? I do not want to spoil it, because the family, which takes place after 15 hours of trying, is very beautiful. But the outcome is not unexpected.
"You at home might be wondering what the point of all this was, why I gave it [a YouTube video] from time to time to learn if there was anything you could do in this game that the players had never thought of doing before," he said at the end of football. “And the answer is, why? Sometimes it's fun to explore the limits of a video game. Sometimes it's fun to wander around and not play the game as intended. ”
Reached, Insomniac Games did not respond at press time. Reetae tells Polygon that although he doesn't want the developers to change the existing game to simplify the shooting, he hopes it can happen in the sequel.
