10 Video Game Tricks That Will Blow Your Mind

10. The Player Doesn't Move, The World Does - The Walking Dead

Walking Dead Lee
Telltale Games

Telltale’s The Walking Dead will always be remembered. Not only did it singlehandedly launch the company into the stratosphere, seeming eroding any barriers they once had when it came to getting any IP they desired, but it opened up a whole new generation of players to the adventure games of old.

Built on a rocky game engine, getting out new episodes for any series seemed to be a challenge for those over at Telltale.

With The Walking Dead, a handy trick was implemented to fix character movement: Simply remove character movement altogether, and invert the way locomotion is programmed.

In an insane turn of events, when players are on the stick, they're moving the world around Lee and not Lee himself. This just being just one of the tricks that got Season One of The Walking Dead out of the door in a reasonably regular fashion.
