- As game worlds get larger, developers have had to come up with ways to let players get around them quickly. Some go the extra mile and give us fast travel systems that not only get us where we need to go, but do it in a way that is cool, stylish, or downright bizarre. Here are seven of our favourites. Enjoy, and subscribe for a video like this every Thursday!

Just throwing this out there: using Fly in Pokémon. Sure, it seems like a reasonable way of getting around at first, but consider a lot of the Pokémon you can do it with. Plenty of them are tiny and should in no way be capable of carrying a 10-year old over great distances. One of them is an ancient ghost robot with rockets legs. My personal favorite is Doduo/Dodrio, who, according to the Pokédex, can’t actually fly.
CurlyB987 How about the reverse of that,Gyarados? A Chinese Dragon-like Pokemon that,in Stadium,appears to float/hover above the ground,but CANT EVEN learn Fly
Or Yanmega, which the Pokedex insists can carry an adult yet can't learn Fly for some reason.
@@khamjaninja. That would be the Emolga taxi
Sorry, ancient ghost robot with rocket legs?? Do you mean Giratina, or Golurk? If not, I have no idea what pokemon you are referring to.
Golurk. Giratina is the equivalent of the devil
No matter how many times Roach decides to have random glitch seizures , I, Geralt of Rivia, will NEVER walk to that neighboring village 100 meters away!
Lazy bum.
@@michaelandreipalon359 bruhhhhh i fight monsters for a living some respect plz 😂😂
@@zorawarsingh6795 Yes, but Geralt of Rivia does need a lot of exercise. Gotta make sure those abs and glutes stay buff for monster hunting, damsel rescuing, and bad guy manipulating.
I once took a boat the the docks of novigrad and then used roach to get to the market bc I refused to walk.
Though I did park roach into a wall. Remember when the Bloody Baron said that Tamara asked about the trophies on the wall? Well, what she said, happened.
In defense of Sunset overdrive i too have gotten blackout drunk and teleported to strange locations... mostly mcdonalds and random peoples house but still.
In my youth I would always fast travel to jail when I'd get blacked out drunk... lol good times...
@@frankmyers8062 been there man 👀😂
@@frankmyers8062 r/madlads
And yet, somehow when I ask Google for the fastest route to the next McDonalds, it never points me to the next tavern with a list of their cheapest booze. So much for clever algorithms.
I once ended up in a different city. A 3 hour drive away. No idea how. I don't drive or have a car
Shoutouts to Morrowind, nothing says traveling in style like riding on the backs of giant long legged cicadas.
Exactly my thought
Cutest fast travel system ever. I just love the noises they make.
Those things were weird...
What about the scrolls that raised your acrobatic skill to 1000? Not that cute but bizarre and fun 😅
@@andreashansen1264 and deadly if you didn't have slow falling
A lot of the Metal Gear games let you use that box delivery trick. Kojima clearly loves the postal service
There should have been an Easter egg in Death Stranding that had you delivering a man sized box that obviously had a legally distinct legendary solider inside
Or a big box of hissing snakes
That would have been amazing.
I was looking for this comment before I posted mine which was basically the same. I was gonna mention how it's been a thing since the MSX2 Metal Gear games (Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake).
Nice idea for an easter egg, wish it made it in.
@@khamjaninja. I get the joke, I should be laughing, I wonder what is wrong.
"Careful contents are fragile"
Nier: Automata, where you pop out of a vending machine.
I don't think it was that weird. The idea of simply transferring your consciousness instead of your body makes perfect sense.
@@ARKumalarkey it does
You say as I'm playing it right now
@@ARKumalarkey OK, but... how does it build a copy of the custom hardware your body is made of?
@@marhawkman303 The vending machines are specifically mentioned as being outfitted with all of the custom components of a YoRHa unit (and only a YoRHa unit; other types of androids can't make use of the fast travel machines). When you fast travel it just straight-up disassembles the body at one end and reassembles it at the other.
The question, of course, raised right out the gate by 9S having to be restored from backup after the prologue mission, is whether the unit created at the other side is a 'transfer' of consciousness or a copy where the original consciousness is destroyed in the process in order to prevent simultaneous activation of a single consciousness. Is any YoRHa unit actually the same one as when they were initially activated, or is the 2B you end the game on actually a third or fourth clone (assuming minimal use of the fast travel system; otherwise you may have iterated and consequently killed dozens of 2Bs through the course of your first playthrough)? Does it matter to anybody except the last iteration, being disassembled and decompiled (eg: killed) in order to allow another variant of consciousness to pass on?
It's NieR: Automata. You don't fast travel by popping out of a vending machine, you fast travel by having an existential crisis.
How about Paper Mario the Origami King: you can get Faxed between the Scientist and it's godamn hilarious
it's a *fax* travel system lol. i swear they included it only for the pun
@@screetchycello same, but they nailed it and it was actully usefull. When the Pipes were too far away a Scientist lived nearby an also the other way around.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Oh my god yes.
How about*
I had no idea XD
Spider-Man PS4: Watching Spider-Man ride the subway is great, because it helps to cement the feeling of the setting being *Marvel's* New York, where Spider-Man chilling on a train is just a normal thing nobody questions.
I would contend that a man in a spider man costume is one of the least weird things you'll see on this Earth's New York subway, also.
@@zc7372 yeah, you right.
Unless you're Miles. That cheapskate just doesn't pay for his subway fees with his stealth powers.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Nah he got unlimited pass from his uncle. Nepotism!
@@zephyrerazortail5478 Good one.
8:20 - "Kratos, from God of War, doesn't so much walk as he does angrily stride between violent murders"
Oh stahp! XD
That was one devastatingly accurate delivery. :)
Among Us has a weird fast travel system. It’s the only fast travel system that results in a bunch of angry crew mates throwing you into space if you do it at the wrong time
That's not a fast travel option, that's an overly paranoid death wish.
Nah the jack box party pack made that ages ago.
Yeah. Everyone thinks you're sus.
You mean the Vents? Yep, exclusive only to the Imposters on Every Ships.
@@DerekBrony ,oh, i thought he meant the emergency meeting.
Recommendation: Don't starve. You can hop across the map using Wormholes... meaning holes in the ground that are probably the digestive system of a giant worm. With teeth. Eaugh.
Judging from how your sanity is lowered you probably don't want to know what's in there.
Bro yessss
Ehhh knowing don't starve the truth behind worm holing is probably some grand terrible clthonian knowledge that no creature was ment to know.... Or a funny pun.
That opening was perfection. "...the pathfinding ability of a busted Roomba." 🤣
hollow knight’s stag that’s basically a live train?
or the dream gate, where you literally just teleport through the dream world?
Don't forget the Tram, which is a *real* train. And the Last Stag might be my favorite character in Hollow Knight, and I legit cried the first time I talked to him after unlocking the stag nest. To be fair, that game has made me cry a lot, like at the end, when you kill Herrah, when you talk to Quirrel for the final time, when you see the secret cutscene, at the end... it's a very well written game.
Finally! Someone mentions hk my favourite indie game r u on PS4 btw?
@@millshaskett6044 i played it on ps now and it left so i've gotta buy it somewhere which is a shame
In Spirit Farer there's a derpy, weird seal that makes annoying clown noises as you approach. He's the bus service.
I loved him
Morrowind, Silt Strider: A giant bug who's controlled by directly tugging on his exposed organs
wait... that's not how i get my dog to do tricks?
Only to realize that those exposed bits are for a slightly different purpose.
The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. You turn into a wolf and travel through a dimensional portal in the sky.
I was thinking of that
I think Ocarina of Time is weirder. You can teleport by playing music
No, *Midna* Transforms you into a Wolf and brings through a hole in the Sky.
Wind Waker has a pretty good one where you just fly away in a tornado.
@@DireBowser I forgotten about that
If only Jedi Fallen Order had a more expansive fast travel system. Having to backtrack all the way to the ship is a chore.
Most of the time, the fast-ish travel is just unlocking new shortcuts with your new powers. The maps are fairly well designed, but if you're going for 100% collection, it's still obnoxious.
In the God of War fast travel system, you can just stand still and wait for the portal to appear. It's basically an interactive loading screen.
Did u know when Freya and arteus r with u the first time in the world tree and don't select ur next destination they ACTUALLY make fun of kratos
@@hassanawdi3793 No I didn't! I'll have to try that sometime!
@@loonbob3778 let me know your reaction but unfortunately u will have to start ng or ng+ of course
@@hassanawdi3793 I could probably find it online somewhere.
@@loonbob3778 I searched online and never found it yet so I am not certain u will find it
But it doesn't mean I am the first who found it
😅😅😅
The silt striders in morrowind were.... interesting.
Immediately what I thought of
Its canon that in blackmarsh there are giant worms that swallow argonians would ride inside. It's the main reason I want an Elderscrolls game in blackmarsh cause that would be an epic and haunting fast travel
That sounds real cool Noodle!
Animal cruelty at it's finest 👌
Why walk when you can ride?
What about monster hunter world, the games version of fast travel is literally your hunter whistling and a pterodactyl like monster grabs you and your palico by its claws and carries you to your location. Not really the most odd one in gaming, but still entertaining to see in game.
At least fits into the "cool" or possibly "stylish" category.
Not when it messes up and throws you right in front of a giant-ass monster ready to eat your face off...
@@CrazyCon500Games happened to me once, just had to laugh after running like hell
@@CrazyCon500Games That's when you pull a Dante and beat it down on the spot.
I just came here to say this too! Don't forget in icebourne DLC riding around on a monsters back as it sniffs down the target you're hunting.
How Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse? Your weird rabbity thing friend can use a children's toy phone to call another phone, and then you teleport to that phone's location. Also Sam had that horrifying vision while they were teleporting that one time.
I think it's earned an honorable mention, at least.
Me: *Has not played Sunset Overdrive*
Also me: *Realises his addiction to energy drinks may now be a bad thing*
This was your wake up call?
@@patwilson9186 better late than never
You dane the first step, you've recognized it as an addiction, keep going! :)
izombie also emphasized that energy drinks are not so good!
@@patwilson9186 No... I've known for a while. I just don't care that they're bad for me. That comment was just meant as a joke.
I'm one of those stupid "but muh immersion" people that never fast travels so I'm really really grateful for canonical in-universe FT systems. I got a fallout 4 mod that lets my settlers reverse engineer the Institute's teleporter.
I like that in Fallout and Elder Scrolls games time passes while you fast travel so basically you ran the whole way and just didn't have to watch it. It basically skip travel scenes rather than fast travel.
@@clarenceschaffner2342 that means i can't pick every flower and every dragonfly and every small fish between me and the next apothecary though
Omg that would be an amazing perk. Every time you FT you pick up a few resources that occur between you and target
@@PatrickLongblkwhtrbbt okay now I want that.
@@clarenceschaffner2342 Yep. I was so used to the effect that it slightly bugged me whenever I fast travelled in horizon zero dawn. I love that game but the daytime feels too short.
I think instant fast travel can be rationalized by your character just walking/running to there. Just progress the ingame clock a bit.
I still like Nier Automata’s fast travel system. You send your consciousness to a different body that is stored because you’re androids. Of course you can go to different bodies.
What about all your gear? Sure the characters are software, but those big swords and goofy golfball hats aren't.
@@shotgunshells2 the weapons...just appear. I think they are just magical force fields or w.e.
@@shotgunshells2 3D printer?
@@shotgunshells2 Teleporters?
@@Ceece20 In all fairness, the first Nier game *does* show that
SPOILERS for Neir Gestalt/Replicant, which is getting a remake that's coming out soon)
the technology that created the Androids of Nier Automata was basically so advanced as to be completely indistinguishable from magic, complete with spells (that were very similar to Automata's Pods' super attacks), human transmutation, and manipulating/creating souls on both individual and massive scales, so "magic" is probably a good answer.
While not technically fast travel, the Scroll of Icarian Flight from Morrowind lets you travel halfway across the map and a single bound.
It’s fast-travel (travel that is ultra fast)
Oblivion has fast travel too. Getting totally geeked on skooma.
I'm just going to say that nothing beats the fast travel from Viva La Dirt League's Epic NPC Man series. True it's just a dramatization of a video game but it is still great.
TES III: Morrowind, when I first saw that huge bug that I was supposed to travel on... Silt striders are something...
@@Sableagle Sonar worms?
I saw one in the skyrim dlc and I wanted to kill it
The weirdest is running.
What about jogging like Leon and Claire do?
How about walking at a leisurely pace while holding a bowl of stew?
In the simpsons driving games hit and run & road rage you got to be the weird fast travel for other people!
Monster Hunter World: You fly everywhere with these weird birds that seem super unsafe, you are attacked by a monster every second time plus you need the upper body strength of a litteral monster to be able to hold on for so long.
Gow fast travel actually doesn't require you to walk just standing in one spot will do and the door will pop up in front of you
Also the mystic gateways are different from the Yggdrasil tree.
Yeah, it's really just a sneaky loading screen.
Just curious, how does evaporating into your mind-possessing ghost hat to fly to a flag in Super Mario Odyssey not count for this list?
because there's only 7.
The Secret World MMO subscribes to the 'hollow Earth' theory. One of the mysterious ancient powers built a train network through it that the current factions use as a fast-travel system.
Fallen Earth, another MMO, had a particularly disturbing fast-travel system. You play a clone warmed up in a high-tech bomb shelter after an apocalypse. When you want to fast travel, you step into a scanning chamber that uploads your memories and skills into a fresh clone at the destination - and straight-up murders the old one.
...Not sure that system actually beats walking.
Eve Online has jumping between clones as the fast travel and the respawn systems. When you die, you wake up in a fresh clone where you installed that clone. Or you could put your current clone in storage at one station to wake up in a clone you stored elsewhere.
Both methods are used for fast travel by players.
the second one basically sounds like nier automata's system too - it's all basically vending machine looking things that fabricate android bodies if they fall in combat (or jumped into the ocean. they're not picky about how you died)
reminds me of an old sci-fi story called "way station", where people used a "clone yourself at your destination" system to travel between star systems!
How about traveling through the digestive system of a giant carnivorous tunneling worm - ala Starcraft's Nydus Worm network? Technically fast travel, technically disgusting.
Just Mario&Luigi Bowser's Inside Story, but here it is a Giant Carnivorous Turtle that swallowd Pipes that somehow are still Conected to the other Half that is not swallowd.
And I thought that you are talking about Don't Starve which takes the term "worm hole" liteary.
@@Karak-_- Same
What about Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess? To fast travel, you have to revert to your wolf form, and then dissolve into a black portal in the sky.
i like that fast travel, and then i remenber that midna transforms you back to wolf form shoving a rock of crystalised darkness back on your forehead
Lego the hobbit, you get transported by those giant eagles which just confirms the famous plot hole of why can’t Bilbo/Frodo just get the eagles to take them to their destination.
The enemies would see them if they were on the eagles. But they definitely could’ve brought them closer 😂
@@cookiecomments846 It wouldn't have been so irritating if Tolkein had only used them as a Deus Ex Machina once.
I think someone once explained to me that they couldn't fly because the eagles would have been corrupted by the presence of the ring. Like Boromir
@@cassandramuller7337 nah, the real reason they didn't use the eagles to fly there is because it would've made the movie way too short. But would that have really been that bad?
"The Fractured But Whole"
Oooooh, I get it now.
Tell me about it...
@JMclawman511 Also, it's an unsubtly weak title. Good thing we got the current title instead.
@JMclawman511 Ah cool, I didn't know that. Every day's a school day :D
Oh good I wasn't the only one
@@michaelandreipalon359 >unsubtly weak
Are we forgetting The Movie? "Bigger, Longer and Uncut"?
'The Swords of Ditto', a cute procedurally-generated action RPG, boasts a fast-travel business called Air Kazoo. Your character blows a magical kazoo, summoning a rocket-powered yellow bus that zips off to your destination through a wormhole.
MGS1 has the box fast travel system, which I had totally forgotten about until now. You got a box for each major area and if you hopped in the back of a truck and put on a box to a different area, one of those nice genome soldiers will drive you over there thinking you’re a box of supplies or something.
In Undertale you could take a ferry back to previously visited towns, except that sometimes the wooden boat would animate into a giant cat monster that carries you to your destination, and you would just have to be okay with that.
That metal gear one blew my mind. Spent dozens of hours playing that game and never knew what those platforms were for.
Legend Of Zelda: Link to the past. A tiny bird called by your Ocarina looking "Flute"
What’s about Spiritfarer? Basically you sail to a bus stop in the middle of an ocean where a sea lion then flies, spins, and claps and boom! You’re on the other side of the ocean! (Or whatever location you picked)
That Giant Bird isn't a fast travel system, it's a Skyrim Door!
Yeah I was about to say lol. You it's a fancy version of "this door is blocked from the other side"
In a Secret World, you traveled by going into the Earth and traveling in a straight line instead of along the curvature.
That's definitely enough to shorten it to a load screen's worth of running.
You could fast travel if you found an Easter egg in the first Metal Gear on ps1, hiding in the trucks with a box equipped you could fast-track back track unless you used an items cheat😅
Don't forget MGS3, not to forget MGS1 and MGS2, though they have different ways of cardboard box fast travel.
Wagstaff's Metal Umbrella for Don't Starve Together. No extra words needed.
BOTW: there's an app for that! Seriously, all you got to do, once you've unlocked the location, is go to the slate's map app and press a destination. Works even when you're about to drown or fall to your death.
yes
Disagree with #3... Jedi Fallen Order wasn't really a fast travel system, it was just a scripted event for that singular purpose of moving you through one staged area.
I would of liked it to have a Fast Travel System after Merrin joins, would of been good if she could of used her teleport ability to send you to Meditation points.
That was my first thought, too: "But Fallen Order infamously /doesn't/ have a fast travel system!"
At the conclusion of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, the darkening of the Dragonfires and the Oblivion Crisis should have left that world in a state where passage to and from the various planes of Oblivion was easy. Rather than the contrived _"Martin's sacrifice somehow closed the gates forever"_ ending we got, I'd hoped they do something bold and go the opposite way...
...where in the sequel game that is Skyrim, you fast-traveled by summoning an Oblivion gate. Not necessarily the hellish blood-red portals of the previous game, but a door to whatever Daedric Prince was relevant to your character, setting, or situation. You could open an Oblivion gate to Meridia's realm, for example, and step through benign white light and end up at your intended destination where the Oblivion gate then closes upon arrival.
that would be cool to maybe to as a thing in 6: if you're really chummy with a daedric prince you can utilize their realm as shortcuts (and maybe it'd relegate normal fast travel to more like skyrim's carts and not just 'anywhere you've ever been to')
hell i'd kinda like the idea of exploring more of the daedric realms in general really
The conceit would be that you can only create a portal to a destination you visualize in your mind, which limits you to places you have seen.
Perhaps an Oblivion Gate can only be formed at a summoning circle composed of same material as a Sigil Stone, something that is activated only if you touch or inscribe it. That solves the game mechanic of having to visit a location and activate its fast travel option in order to use it as a destination later.
This is the only vid I happen to catch as soon as it uploaded
You mean riding a giant stag beetle in Hollow Knight isn't weird enough?
You mean like you did in Morrowind?
Damn seeing Secret of Mana brings back some good memories. That could be the first Square game I've played but I'm not entirely sure. After that though, I was obsessed with them for a long time. Bought Final Fantasy 3 (or 6, whatever) the day it came out, then bought a Playstation for Final Fantasy 7. Loved 8. Loved 9. Stopped caring at 10. I don't know why lol.
Oh wow secret of mana. I loved that game as a kid. I preferred flying on dragonback. Flammie? I loved that dragon.
And funnily enough I also lost interest in the Final Fantasy series at FF10. I mean OK I played FF11 for years that was an MMO.
In Code Vein the player can use a plant called mistle to fast travel to places already visited.
Psychonauts had 3 different fast travel systems. (4 if you count the subconscious hallway.) While in someone's brain, these little bug things snort you and drop you out somewhere. In the real world, an underground mine cart. And for getting to the asylum, a giant lung fish swallows you to swim you safely across the lake. What a great game.
Sunset Overdrive is an under appreciated gem, it's basically Saints Row the Third mashed together with Jet Set Radio, how can you not like that?
Obviously silly old, but the Warp Whistle in SMB3 called a tornado to transport you. Odd.
Code Vein: The BOR parasite breaks your revenant into a cloud of their cells and reforms you at the location you desire.
I love that chocobos have engraved themselves into everybodys minds so much that gigantic chickens with a catchy tune as a fast travel system don't even make the list.
Stardew Valley either has you use totems made from stuff you scrape together in your back garden, or use a “Return Scepter” that you bought for 2 million gold from a shady monster man you find in the sewer, who is also the best character in the game
I was worried you wouldn't mention the Spiderman fast travel.... im happy now
Damn, MGSV was so good... Now I want to play it again!
4:38
UH - OH!
THE TRUCK HAVE STARTED TO MOVE!
Sunset Overdrive is an underrated gem
Undoubtedly
never heard of it before :S
@@Tenma2411 Well, go check it out.
I thought about this while playing assassin‘s creed Valhalla, in the world of assassin’s creed do you think there’s a TH-cam channel called outside Animus.
Silt Striders in Morrowind, that was really fun.
Spiderman PS4 - wait for it - when you hit the Devil's Breath/Wanted phase, where there is an entire international company of soldiers with energy guns led by the most OP Disney Princess in existence, Silver Sablinova.
Specifically the one were Peter brags his gymnastic skills, and is almost upside down and has likely got neck pains while the Sable Agents patrol the subway.
I think Doduo using Fly deserves SOME credit
9:06 Instead of "When he reaches the branch that corresponds to his destination," I think you mean, "When the game finally loads and decides to chuck a door in."
5:35 Come on, when it's a scripted event that's the only way to move between two locations in the game you can't walk to, that's not fast travel. It's something else. I'm not sure of the name, but the entire point of fast travel is to make backtracking easy. When it opens up a new pathway between a meditation point (bonfire) and an area later in the level, that's called a short cut.
Exactly
I don’t know if mobile games count in this list/channel, but in Infinity Blade 3, when you reach the end of a level, you can fast travel back to your base...through death by incineration.
Siris and Isa, the playable characters, are deathless. When they die, their souls are able to go into new bodies. In their case, they have a Rebirth Chamber maintained by an alchemist that brings them back to life in a new body after the end of each mission.
In fact (spoiler), the main character of all three main games (Siris) has always been a deathless. Every time he dies in all three games, he is always resurrected somewhere else, only to return to the battle with more experience....and more opportunities to die.
Now, in Pokemon the fast travel system is pretty simple. You have a Pokemon fly you to yourn destination. In Alola, you get a Charizard, in Galar there's the Corviknight taxi system. But prior to our adventures in Alola and Galar, we had to deal the HM known as Fly. But with the HM, your selection of who's flying you back to Oreburgh, which could be Pidgeot, or maybe a Staraptor. OR, you can fly back home using a the tiny Starling, or if youre in Unova, maybe a Vullaby, who *literally* can't fly according to the Pokedex
The best Fly user is definitely Golurk. Nothing like jumping on the back of your Ghost Mecha to get to your destination.
What about Dragon’s Dogma Port Crystals? They were way better than walking even though you don’t really use it.
After the recent Star Wars trilogy, I think teleporting IS on the list now.
No.
Yeah, but you still need *two* Jedi, so it doesn’t exactly help us out in our “Getting around this big map full of stuff that wants to kill us” situation
That assumes Disney Wars is canon. It isn't, never has been, and never will be. They can make their Mary Sue do whatever they want, it doesn't matter
I have not seen any of those movies so can you please explain it to me? Cos I am really curious now about that teleportation. :-)
@@ashley_sidhe Spoiler for the final movie, Rise of Skywalker:
Rey and Kylo are revealed to be a "dyad" in the force, meaning they are directly linked regardless of the distance between them. At various points in the movie, they interact with each other and items that they are either wearing or standing next to, teleporting those items between planets and space-ships, etc. The items being teleported are all fairly small. At no point does a whole person teleport.
I love the taxis from Dracula Unleashed. Not because horse-drawn carriages are particularly strange, but because whenever you get into a taxi you're greeted by a confused first-year theater student.
The "Fast Forward" symbol in the first entry reminds me of how "skipping" a cutscene in CrossCode causes the scene in question to zip through at fast-forward instead of just being skipped. It's great.
Holy shit .. grand wizard vs drow elves... I literally just got the bit. Oh my god. NOOO
In Metal Gear Solid's "defense" apparently you used to be able to mail children through the US post. (packaging not necessary) Plus' I've walking around in a box for most of this year (I wonder if that's why my back is giving me so many problems. Oh well.)
Mailing yourself to different parts of a facility by hiding in a box with the right shipping label has been part of the series at least since the original 1998 PS1 Metal Gear Solid. You could get to most of the Shadow Moses Island facility on foot if you wanted, but it was quicker for the player and safer for Snake to just hop in the bed of a truck, hide in the box, and let the guards chauffeur you around.
Yeah, I remember reading that it could be cheaper to mail a kid than buy them a train ticket.
@@AJStarhiker Heard that too
The Fast Travel System in MGS5 was also an option in MGS1. If you used a box for a different area and hopped into the back of a truck similar to the one at the second area of the start of the game after the elevator sequence, you'd get fast traveled to the area your box is marked for.
Shipping yourself with boxes was a thing in MGS1 too. Depending on which box you were in, if you were wearing it inside one of the trucks in the game for a few seconds, someone will deliver you to one of the other trucks.
My favourite was always becoming a pixilated mess going in a sky hole with Midna in Twilight Princess
Earthbound: you run around without touching anything until you gain enough speed to jump through space
I loved this
Thanks for explaining Secret of Mana to me. My 4 year old plays it on my SNES from time to time but can’t get past the bit where you get the sword
Am a mix of fast travel and walking/running. I fast travel when its a huge gap between places, and walk when the environment is so beautiful that I want to enjoy it. An example for me is the xenoblade chronicles game, fast travel for far distance but also run to enjoy music and scenery.
Yes, this is why I occasionally don't do fast travel, unless something big needs to be done and you're in some sort of a hurry.
Flying in Pokemon, hands down the best. Classic.
Especially if it's a Pidgey carrying you to the intended destination.
How about the Legend of Zelda: a link to the past. Where you use your ocarina to summon what appears to be a chicken to pick you up and deliver you to your destination. I guess it's better than the alternative chicken related summoning...
we don't mention what happens if you do that
What, no love for Don't Starve's weird worm travel?
Spiritfarer also has a neat system with the bus stops, run by Alex (NEVER Alexander). It does not use buses.
Here's a few weird fast travel methods: Most of the fast travel methods in some Zelda games. In Ocarina of Time, you fast traveled via playing a song on your magical instrument the Ocarina of Time, and in Breath of the Wild, you fast traveled via an ancient glorified mobile tablet's map. The Shiekah Slate, which is basically a mobile tablet made of ancient Shiekah technology.
No love for Morrowind’s silt striders?!
Morrowind silt striders?!?
Zelda games had a few. Link to the Past had the weather vane bird. Link's Awaking had the warp holes. Ocarina of Time had warp tunes for Hyrule and Farore's Wind for dungeons. Majora's Mask had owl statues. The oracle games had Gale seeds. Wind Waker gave link a tornado to warp to places. Twilight Princess had shadow beast portals. A Link Between Worlds had a bell to summon a broom ride.
Earthbound's PSI teleport had you run a short distance with PSI teleport alpha, but you could change the direction with the d-pad in mid sprint. Omega version had you run around in an enlarging circle.
Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse had you call people to teleport to them through Max's brain in chapters 1, 3 and 4; chapters 2 and 5 and a projector you used instead, but seeing as there's no interactive driving sections and it's not a huge walk to the car, does it even count?
The shadow nexus system in sudeki was always pretty cool and the fact you can travel around the fast travel world it not just a standalone place.
Video idea: 7 weird ways you respawned in games
Haven’t died in death stranding yet outside of the scripted one at the start but I think giving birth to yourself probably counts as weird
That is weird to say the least. Also sunset overdrive would work for this since there is like a million respawning types
@Amer I’m curious, what is it? I’ve never played.
Pokemon, using Fly.
For some of these, it's not a big problem as the bird at least looks like it can carry you. For the most part, though, these critters have virtually no business carrying a young human trainer whose head is bigger than the entire pokemon. How exactly is a level 2 Pidgey supposed to legitimately carry a trainer across the region?
This was fixed starting in Sun/Moon by using a special Charizard, but the problem remains.
Azure Dragoon How about the reverse....Pokemon that SHOULD have been able to learn Fly but couldn't ala Gyarardos
@@ethanmcdowell1164 This was about it being a bizarre fast travel method, not "these pokemon should be able to learn Fly."
Azure Dragoon wow...ok....I thought you'd agree with me considering your comment....not be a douche
@@ethanmcdowell1164 I wasn't trying to be mean, nor did I disagree in any way (didn't agree either though). I was just clarifying that my comment was for the purposes of "this is a bizarre fast travel method".
As for Gyardos learning Fly? From what I've seen, Gyarados (despite being a flying type) never really leaves the water. I don't know why they gave it the flying type given its portrayals in the anime. So to that end, I don't think it should have even had the flying type in the first place. In turn, it shouldn't be able to learn Fly either.
Azure Dragoon Well your comment sure came off as douchey....I was just making a comment ironic to yours your reply to which was very douchey
How about the Zergs in Starcraft 1&2?
You enter a giant worm, travel through it's body and then emerge out of the other "end". I'm really happy Blizzard decided not to animate that part...
The Shiekah Slate also has more weird things about it, through the "Runes" (which I think of like those Gadgets you can install on an Android mobile device), you can: grab magnetic metal objects and move them how you see fit, freeze and move water into a giant climbable block, freeze time on specific objects (and enemies too if upgraded), generate one of two different shapes of remote bombs out of nothing basically, and (with DLC completed) spawn a horse-shaped motorcycle out of nowhere. That somehow can get fuel for it from any item you give it.
Be glad there are fast traavel points
Do you know how much time I spent in Jedi Fallen Order trying to find a way to my ship on Zeffo?
List idea creepiest looking characters who weren't all that bad. Think like frampt from darksouls good guy who is really horrific looking.
Hope Arkhamverse Batman is here on the list.
Awesome idea
I really like Wind Waker's, because you had to basically find it entirely by yourself- by shooting a big hovering frog god with lots of arrows, until it surrendered and taught you the right way to wave your magical conductor's baton to summon small tornados. Those tornados would carry you to various islands! While violently spinning you and your sentient boat.
Not gonna mention Darksiders? An alternate realm filled with hidden items and secrets.
I platinumed Death Stranding - there's a shit-ton more to it than just walking.
The walking part is about overcoming the terrain, crossing rivers with ladders, scaling down mountains, making the route as easy to travel as possible, all whilst just exploring, taking in some awesome views, ramming bandits with trucks and bikes, or blasting the shit out of giant tar ghosts with blood grenades, blood assault rifles and blood missile launchers.
You can skip the walking entirely if you build ziplines along the way the first time, and just glide up mountains and across chasms.
