    Excellent work tracking down the creators of this famous glitch.

    Very well done video IGN. As someone who played RE4 since its launch and learned of the Ditman glitch on the forums in 07 when it was first discovered, I've had some very enjoyable playthroughs of this game through the years with the glitch enabled. My favorite was finding secret items out of bounds, like Ada's shotgun which crashes the game when picked up.

  • @Psyphix1220

    Some people have mentioned the Striker charm in RE4R having a speed increase in reference to Ditman, but even more recently, in the remake's version of Mercenaries, Leon has a special meter charged mode that makes him move faster in a manner very similar to the effect the glitch had in the original.

    Something that increases your move speed is one thing, but being able to go out of the map and skip levels? When do exploits/glitches become actually cheating for speed runs? Sorry just not sure how the rules of official speed runs work. This game is still one of my favorites 👍👍
