5 Video Game Tricks Unlocked By REAL WORLD Actions

September 27, 2016 by Ian Miles Cheong

Gamers unlock secrets in video games through actions taken within the game. However, some of these tricks require a bit of real-world effort. Here are five we loved.


Do you remember the cool trick Hideo Kojima did with Metal Gear Solid with Psycho Mantis? He could make your controller vibrate—which was pretty damn cool at the time, and the only way to defeat him was to swap out your controller’s inputs and prevent him from “reading your mind” and predicting all of your moves, making it possible to defeat him.

Yeah. You remember that.

It wasn’t the only game to require real-world actions to doing something in-game. With that in mind, we put together a video to showcase five awesome instances in which games required a bit more input than just pushing your thumbstick and hitting the face buttons.
