Invisible walls are a game developer's way of keeping you within a game's boundaries, and oftentimes they can be pretty clever. Subscribe for more: th-cam.com/users/gameranxTV?su...
One that has somehow stuck with me is form the old assassin's Creed games(specifically from 2) where the reason you can't go beyond is because in the person's memories you are in they never went there
Lmao, can u imagine being in a coma and that happening and then you realize...oh fuxk I'm in a coma...cause I've never been there before. Better not desync lol
I agree. The games that just let you hit a barrier you can't see, even though you should be able to keep going, also deserve a -1. Whatever way suits the game, do something.
@@dragonlordxakel hm that too like depending on WHATS going on hell even a thing about desertion could happen like runn off map and you end up a bandit instead with other deserters in a more medevil setting of a game and the punishment is you and who ever is with ya FAR out numbered because some army has gotten ya location and approaching rapidly.
The creepiest invisible wall I've seen in a video game would have to be from Assassin's Creed Black Flag, especially if you're on the water at night or during a storm and it pops up from out of nowhere, it's really eerie looking almost like a gigantic mythical beast is going to come out of it to attack the Jackdaw
Dude that used to scare the shit out of me, I found the location of that observatory thing in Jamaica before you were supposed to, and the giant unnatural wall appearing instantly was just so disturbing
A lot of good ones in this video, surprised you didn't cover the quite clever invisible wall in "Mad Max" as a violent storm & brutal winds with lightning strikes nail you going out into the outer regions past the map yet a few fantastic surprises can be found there. Also 2010 "Medal of Honor" had some of the worse completely invisible walls outside with no explanation that unfortunately broke immersion.
I'm sure someone else has already said it but imma say it too. In Sea of Thieves, it is explained quite clearly why you ship breaks apart and you sink when going too far out. Just not immediately in your face. It's explained by the in game story and lore. The dark cloud that surrounds the map is called "The Shroud" which is a magical myst that tears apart and consumes anything that goes into it and literally the game's first ever story line (called a Tall Tale) was about a relic called "The Shroudbreaker" which would supposedly allow you to part the shroud as you traveled through it and light your way allowing you to reach a place called "The Shores Of Gold".
The sea of thieves one is actually explained in lore as a storm keeping you from leaving. In the last tall tale you use the shroudbreaker to part the storm to reach an unreachable island
man a part two of those weird game boundaries would be awesome! For some reason those invisible walls have this mysterious vibe to them and i always check em out. great video!
Fallout 3's & New Vegas' invisible walls were inconvenient. I can imagine Todd Howard taunting the player, "Ya see that small pile of rubble or slight hill??? You can't climb it."
Yo, you forgot borderlands lol. Ill explain it too. In borderlands when you try to leave the map usually in most games there are these tower with turrets on them and they of course will shoot and kill you. Its funny because they give you ample warning and you actually lose money if they shoot and kill you. Its also interesting because there is actual lore behind them. The corporation Dahl set up those towers to keep prisoners "safe" they brought to Pandora for cheap labor. They were actually used to keep them in certain spaces, they didn't actually protect shit. Cuz during the winter is when they came to Pandora to setup mining ops and all the bad stuff was hibernating then and when summer rolled around...oh buddy it was bad. Needless to say they got the hell out of there and left behind those prisoners and the towers and much more. Like Sanctuary :D I think it deserves an honorable mention at least because borderlands is one of those fun and unassuming games you don't think about things like lore and stuff. There is a lot of interesting things to discover and learn about it. Good game series!
The Ratchet and Clank reboot of 2016 has the same shark method as the first Jak and Daxter game. There’s also a certain horror game in which players could cheese the game by going outside the bounds of the map, so in the sequel, the developers made it so that if you go outside the map, you instantly fall into a bottomless pit, and you get a message saying that even a glitch in the game can’t save you.
I thought the slaughterfish in Elder Scrolls Online were also a good invisible wall. If you swim too far out, fish start splashing around you and eventually kill you.
I spent a small amount of time scaling down a cliff in Borderlands 1, just seeing how far I can get before getting killed. Pretty sure there's a point where the turret shoots the rock in front of you, but then you're pinned down.
Border Dahl Turret: WARNING! THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING Player: Eh, I have awesome shields, how much can it hurt m... *vaporises* In BL2 I made it a mission. There are just a few places where you can defeat walls (usually with launched cars/eject). There's at least one 'sinkhole' near Highlands Outlook bridge where you can dive into a cave and fly underneath the entire world. Worth it for the inevitable disintegration at bedrock.
Dude I remember the invisible walls on the bridge in Batman Arkham origins. There are so many spots that block you! The grapple hook was almost pointless on that bridge! It was so infuriating lol 😆
City had a good explanation with the gun turrets, but they got lazy and in Origins he’ll just turn around because it’s too cold, while in Knight he’ll just grumble “no, they need me to stop Scarecrow.” I know OOB glitches aren’t really related but if you spam grenade throws in City you can levitate outside the skybox and fly around appreciating the background city.
In Conan Exiles the whole endgame is to escape the invisible wall (Ghost Fence). At the beginning of the game your character is bonded with a bracelet to prevent you from leaving the playable area. There’s a lot of lore around the creation of this wall in game and reassembling items of power present when the wall was created is how you escape. I thought this was an interesting invisible wall.
I always thought the Mako sections of Mass Effect had some bizarre invisible walls. I mean, you're on a planet with an ATV with the wonkiest physics imaginable and a starship monitoring your every move, but go outside the red lines and Joker starts yelling at you. Fail to heed his warnings and (presumably) the Normandy will airlift you back to your starting position on the map. What makes it even more odd is the fact that some of the minerals and points of interest lie beyond the map boundaries. Funny this wasn't patched out in the Legendary Edition.
I seem to remember an invisible wall in "Crystalis" for the Nintendo 8-bit. You are on a surf board and if you travel too far the water pushes you back as if it is flowing in the opposite direction. Even with your fastest speed you will have to change direction after a short time. For the arcade game, "Cadash" if you travel too far into the forbidden forest, it will "appear" as if you are traveling deeper by having trees move past you, but the moment you turn around and try to return, you will see you have not traveled at all and were in fact warping from one exact spot to another.
The Cadash trick is also how the infinite staircase worked in SM64. If the game detected that you were in a certain area before the final level without having collected 70 stars, it would warp you part of the way back down. The secret to bypassing it is to simply build up so much speed that you are not detected as being in the trap area.
#19 is my irrational fear with any game with open water regardless whether or not I'm at the boundary. That or a random shark attack. I hate open water in games or even underwear. 😂
I downloaded a ship mod called Sea Dragon for Skyrim. I chose the 'wilderness' option which took me out into the deep water. I was running around looking at the water and land in the distance when I slipped and fell in. I nearly crapped myself trying to get around the ship to the ladder, even though I KNOW there's nothing that's going to get me in the water.
@@GamingNationShm I think it's the dark water that scares me the most, though I was anxious playing Subnautica, never straying too far from any of my vehicles.... and cheated to give myself unlimited oxygen and health... LOL!
the talos principle's invisible wall is just awesome, and it is so incredibly clever. its a great philosophical game, id recommend it to anyone who enjoys games that make you think
I definitely remember that lurker shark from Jak & Daxter freaking me out as a kid. (Actually I played the game earlier this year and it still freaks me out. God, I hate the ocean.) lol
I don't mind invisible walls, as long as they aren't lazy and are rational. It's totally immersion breaking if your character can't make it over a simple 2 foot tall barricade.
I love how you actually put games in this list that people don't really know. When I read the title I instantly thought of Splashdown but would've never thought you actually would put it on the list. Kudos!
You should do a top 10 games where you must go into debug mode! Call of duty hides some good Easter eggs but can only be seen while glitching. Or like god of war where the first boss flicks you off as he’s falling
@@gameranxTV yeah this would be pretty neat. The old Doom games would be on this list I'd also say look into Area 51 ps2 Era That game was so underated and has ton of cool Details, Easter Eggs and Out of bound finds! Like the Original Area 51 Arcade in the game.
My favorite was from the original Wing Commander game (subsequent Wing Commanders may have it too, idk), but I was curious what would happen if, instead of returning to the aircraft carrier, I just few away from the aircraft carrier. Something like 4-6 hours later, you approach a message out in space that read something like "Edge of the Universe, no flash pictures please". If you keep going, you pass through the message, but you are now heading back to your aircraft carrier. the fact they gave you so much time before reaching the edge, was impressive for a 90's game.
Can you only get the game for Xbox 360 or is there a PS3/4 version? Or a PC version? Looks cool but don't want to bug a whole new machine just to see if I like it :*{O
So basically, screw deep water. If you also have that phobia of deep water, 'Subnotica' is a must play! It felt like exposure therepy; almost cathartic, but still horror at times.
So good to see the cannon from the mx vs atv games remember finding that one as a kid and inviting all the kids in the street around we sat there for hours taking turns triggering that one
in spongebob BFBB you can get out of bounds pretty easily! it was cool to explore outside of the maps because as a kid i always wanted to see what was out there! if you haven’t tried it i highly suggest giving it a shot! the out of bounds areas are very cool!
First ever invisible wall I could think of I've ran into would have to be the shark in Scarface. You could use a boat to avoid it, but it'll break down and sense you're in deep waters, well you know.
When my friends and I reached the end of the Valheim map it let to one of my most memorable gaming experience of the year. Haha it was so intense try to sail out of that current taking the ship off the edge of the world and we were not expecting that at all
Golden Sun and Golden Sun 2 have to be my most played childhood games by a LONG shot. I remember thinking how everything looked so magical to me. All the really badass attacks you could do when you had enough djinn activated.
the Golden Suns are still to this day some of my favorite games ever. They were very well made, very happy for the reference. However that wasn't an invisible wall: there was plenty more map after that point, it was just an obstacle to make you go around. There were other alternatives, but I guess the devs though (and thought well) that we were about to get tired of boulders :)
Great video idea I never thought of. One I would mention is in a lot of the early pokemon games u have things like a Snorlax, body of water, bike-only route, or just a stubborn gate guard that doesnt let u go a certain way until later in the story
I was waiting all video for Jak & Daxter. Not only did they show the first game they showed the whole trilogy. Love this channel, brings back memories and it’s really cool seeing them come up with stuff I played as a kid but thought not many did.
"Submerged" and "Eastshade" conveniently avoid a solid invisible wall around the game map by applying a gradually increasing current back towards the map center which your small boat cannot resist.
So so glad you mentioned the atv game, I would drive out there repeatedly as a kid because I just loved to do it. I think the person that owned the game got a little annoyed but idk
I like the fc6 one very much. It's very unique because it causes the game to end😂😂😂. But my favourite one would be sunset overdrive. It's very funny. Good video man.
So good to see Golden Sun being talked about. It's the best series on Gameboy imo and one of the best I've ever played, but it rarely gets mentioned nowadays
In SimCopter (and maybe Streets of SimCity as well), when you reach the edge of a city, you just continue to fly (or drive) into a considerable stretch of "wilderness" before re-entering the city on the other side. Not really an invisible wall per se, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. I seem to also remember that missiles fired in one of these games would also loop back (once?) if they don't hit anything along the way. I'm not 100% sure about this, since it has been at least a decade since I last played them.
Dude the Motocross Madness invisible wall was like 19% of my childhood I would boot up the demo with Midtown Madness, and ignore the actual demo race within it.
Me: Gameranx did you really make an 11 and a half minute video about invisible walls? Gameranx: Yeah, you're gonna watch it though anyway won't you. Me: Goddam right I will!
I remember being in middle school and having the motocross madness demo for my PC. We would climb up the side of the mountain and the invisible wall at all different angles and speeds to get the funniest and farthest "shotgun" effect we called it. 😄
And every 5 seconds you get randomly stopped by a guy in the street who will tell you he's having a really bad day, then him and his 4 mates will try and kick the sh*t out of you. 5 seconds after you've snapped all 5 of the b*stards in half, you get stopped by another guy (and he's got 4 mates too), and then another. Eventually you start trying to avoid the hell out of everyone, just so you can get to the pub without having to karate kick 500 locals first! "Will everyone stop f*cking stopping me!!! What TF is going on in this city!? How does anybody get ANYWHERE!?"
I always had fun with MX Unleashed when you just drive really far over the mountain and it just FLINGS you across the map. I remember doing that in freeroam just to see how far i could get thrown
The invisible wall in Fallout 4 I hate so much because Bethesda adds more land to be explored but you can't even explore it! Why put that Land if you can't explore it?
It's either that or an empty void of nothingness. It still has to look like an environment, and it's better to have scenery than the equivalent of the fleeting darkness of an Edgar Allan Poe story.
Lego island 2 had a very creative "invisible wall" or "invisible portal" may be a better description. If you try to head out onto the ocean away from the Island, you just arrive at the island again from the other side 😄
There was an old game "Vangers", where the world was like a tube or pipe: left and right will be cycled, but up and down - not. And it took some time for a player to get it )
One that really sticks out to me is the New Austin area in RDR2 prior to the epilogue. I had a ton of fun seeing how far I could get into the area before being gunned down by invisible bounty hunters.
One of my favorite Invisible Walls in games is in ATV Offroad Fury, not unlike the one in Motocross Madness. In the Free Roam mode of Offroad Fury, if you hit the Invisible Wall, it also launches you, high in the air, and away from the wall. My sister and I would hit the wall constantly just to see how far we could launch ourselves. The first time seeing it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
I don't hear the Darkness mentioned very often in lists - super cool to hear. It was one of the first games that was reccomended to me by an Xbox friend many moons ago, and I really enjoyed it.
Ghost of tsushima had something like this if you went into a barbarian area I guess you weren't supposed to you'd get arrows from out of nowhere that would consume you.
My favorite invisible wall was on an old Amiga shareware game, Antepulum. It played very similar to the top down Ultima series. Once you got a ship if you sailed too far off land you fell off the edge of the world - the world really was flat in this game.
The splashdown one scared me as a kid but was also super fun to see on how far it could launch you and on what maps you can trigger it PS: splashdown id a hidden gem you all must play. The music and gameplay is all on point, trust me, you won't regret it!!!
gameranx needs to do a random one (more random than usual) like the best posters in games, something silly yet a little interesting at the same time. Best sunglasses in games, best belt in a game, longest straight line in games
3:00 that is so true. me and my brother would have just as much fun with the barrier trying to see just how far it would fling us. cant help but to see subnautica and mention how extremely well done the atmosphere is. even still just watching it through this video going out in to the craters edge invokes strong feelings for me. it was pretty intense when i was playing and i cant get over it. i cant think of any other game that has done that to me.

I love games where there is a mission that legit has you cross the game boundary.
Actually the storm is located in the top right corner not the whole map border
It's the shroud aka the fog that is keeping us in the world, the storm is just annoying
it's not a storm but devil shroud. As I understand it - it is sort of a living being that kills you and sinks your ship
Well it’s not so much a storm it’s called the shroud and from my understanding it will let you into the sea of thieves but not out of it
I remember always intentionally hitting the invisible wall in atv off road fury. It was genuinely my favorite part
Same here! My brother and I would spend hours driving to the edge on purpose, trying to get our characters to land in funny ways. lol

@@tudalex True. But for 4+ hours and then get a message. They had to know only a few dedicated gamers would see it. I still geek out about it.
@@enoraskye6020 if i remember correctly, you'll be out of fuel in an hour or so
@@tomekvilmovskiy6547 At least for the first WC game, fuel only effected your ability to speed boost. you could still travel at a ships normal speed.
@@enoraskye6020 may be you're right, I've used boost for sure, but when out of fuel, the ship couldn't travel at all, even on normal speed
New Gameranx vid lets gooooo
WOOO
I really like creativity of sunset overdrive's invisible wall, very underrated game
Making it part of a heroic sacrifice was just classic.
Can you only get the game for Xbox 360 or is there a PS3/4 version? Or a PC version? Looks cool but don't want to bug a whole new machine just to see if I like it :*{O
So basically, screw deep water.
If you also have that phobia of deep water, 'Subnotica' is a must play! It felt like exposure therepy; almost cathartic, but still horror at times.
So good to see the cannon from the mx vs atv games remember finding that one as a kid and inviting all the kids in the street around we sat there for hours taking turns triggering that one
in spongebob BFBB you can get out of bounds pretty easily! it was cool to explore outside of the maps because as a kid i always wanted to see what was out there! if you haven’t tried it i highly suggest giving it a shot! the out of bounds areas are very cool!
I would also add Beyond Good and Evil
RDR2 - going into Blackwater early has a decent invisible wall.
First ever invisible wall I could think of I've ran into would have to be the shark in Scarface.
You could use a boat to avoid it, but it'll break down and sense you're in deep waters, well you know.
I'm scrolling through all the comments looking for somebody that mentions scarface. I'm surprised it wasn't on here
Thanks Gameranx!
Splashdown and the sequel Rides Gone Wild were incredible racing games on PS2. Great choice!
When my friends and I reached the end of the Valheim map it let to one of my most memorable gaming experience of the year. Haha it was so intense try to sail out of that current taking the ship off the edge of the world and we were not expecting that at all
Golden Sun and Golden Sun 2 have to be my most played childhood games by a LONG shot. I remember thinking how everything looked so magical to me. All the really badass attacks you could do when you had enough djinn activated.
the Golden Suns are still to this day some of my favorite games ever. They were very well made, very happy for the reference. However that wasn't an invisible wall: there was plenty more map after that point, it was just an obstacle to make you go around. There were other alternatives, but I guess the devs though (and thought well) that we were about to get tired of boulders :)
Bruh don't you mean 'Gold and Sun'? :P
Great video idea I never thought of. One I would mention is in a lot of the early pokemon games u have things like a Snorlax, body of water, bike-only route, or just a stubborn gate guard that doesnt let u go a certain way until later in the story
I was waiting all video for Jak & Daxter. Not only did they show the first game they showed the whole trilogy. Love this channel, brings back memories and it’s really cool seeing them come up with stuff I played as a kid but thought not many did.
"Submerged" and "Eastshade" conveniently avoid a solid invisible wall around the game map by applying a gradually increasing current back towards the map center which your small boat cannot resist.
So so glad you mentioned the atv game, I would drive out there repeatedly as a kid because I just loved to do it. I think the person that owned the game got a little annoyed but idk
Thank you so much for the Halo 3 mention, I saw the title of this video and immediately thought of the invisible walls from it
In spore you don’t appear safe and sound back on the island. You just take control of another family member. I miss that game
I like the fc6 one very much. It's very unique because it causes the game to end😂😂😂. But my favourite one would be sunset overdrive. It's very funny. Good video man.
This came at the perfect time, haha. big fan falcon!!
👌🏼
There is an explanation to the shrouded seas in sea of thieves, the red and dark zone that breaks your ship. Gamerranx effed up.
So good to see Golden Sun being talked about. It's the best series on Gameboy imo and one of the best I've ever played, but it rarely gets mentioned nowadays
I still feel Luker sharks are the reason for my irrational fear of open water/areas.
Right? Especially that heart beat of inevitable doom approaching 😂
In SimCopter (and maybe Streets of SimCity as well), when you reach the edge of a city, you just continue to fly (or drive) into a considerable stretch of "wilderness" before re-entering the city on the other side. Not really an invisible wall per se, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless.
I seem to also remember that missiles fired in one of these games would also loop back (once?) if they don't hit anything along the way. I'm not 100% sure about this, since it has been at least a decade since I last played them.
Invisible walls create an existential crisis for me. Like is this heaven.
Dude the Motocross Madness invisible wall was like 19% of my childhood I would boot up the demo with Midtown Madness, and ignore the actual demo race within it.
The Darkness games were soo great! Those need a remaster or even a Remake from the ground up As a double package.
Me: Gameranx did you really make an 11 and a half minute video about invisible walls?
Gameranx: Yeah, you're gonna watch it though anyway won't you.
Me: Goddam right I will!
Real life invisible wall is mass anxiety from been to long a introvert 😂😂😂
Easily my favorite video. Loved it.
Games it the 90s and early 200s where all creative as shit
Thanks i was looking for a video to watch 😆
Haa perfect
I'm glad to have found a video that finally acknowledges getting yeeted back in the map in the atv/mx games
Golden Sun is onbe of the best games I've ever played. Thank you for revieving the memory
I remember being in middle school and having the motocross madness demo for my PC. We would climb up the side of the mountain and the invisible wall at all different angles and speeds to get the funniest and farthest "shotgun" effect we called it. 😄
Surprised borderlands wasn’t on here, leave the area and you just get gunned down by turrets
This one was entertaining AF.
Thanks
the giant tentacle was crazy
I wish that Family Guy Online game still existed. that was fun to play and would do really well today.
The yakuza series which i love a lot, has a lot of annoying invisible walls all over the place, even though the game maps are small.
And every 5 seconds you get randomly stopped by a guy in the street who will tell you he's having a really bad day, then him and his 4 mates will try and kick the sh*t out of you. 5 seconds after you've snapped all 5 of the b*stards in half, you get stopped by another guy (and he's got 4 mates too), and then another. Eventually you start trying to avoid the hell out of everyone, just so you can get to the pub without having to karate kick 500 locals first!
"Will everyone stop f*cking stopping me!!! What TF is going on in this city!? How does anybody get ANYWHERE!?"
So glad you mentioned max vs atv hahaha I was genuinely waiting for it
I always had fun with MX Unleashed when you just drive really far over the mountain and it just FLINGS you across the map. I remember doing that in freeroam just to see how far i could get thrown
7:22 "the StAuRt"
Lol
The invisible wall in Fallout 4 I hate so much because Bethesda adds more land to be explored but you can't even explore it! Why put that Land if you can't explore it?
It's either that or an empty void of nothingness. It still has to look like an environment, and it's better to have scenery than the equivalent of the fleeting darkness of an Edgar Allan Poe story.
Lego island 2 had a very creative "invisible wall" or "invisible portal" may be a better description.
If you try to head out onto the ocean away from the Island, you just arrive at the island again from the other side 😄
Lol ni no kuni 1 and 2 does the same thing basically saying you went around the world I guess
There was an old game "Vangers", where the world was like a tube or pipe: left and right will be cycled, but up and down - not. And it took some time for a player to get it )
Was super happy to see Gold and Sun loved that game
One that really sticks out to me is the New Austin area in RDR2 prior to the epilogue. I had a ton of fun seeing how far I could get into the area before being gunned down by invisible bounty hunters.
quality content bois
Thanks
Golden sun mention in gameranx!! Love the series
Invisible wall?
Invisible wall.
INVISIBLE WALL!
in gta 5 if you swim too far shark appears.
0:05 what game
Sunset Overdrive
@@gameranxTV awesome, thanks for letting me know! Keep up the good work guys!
One of my favorite Invisible Walls in games is in ATV Offroad Fury, not unlike the one in Motocross Madness. In the Free Roam mode of Offroad Fury, if you hit the Invisible Wall, it also launches you, high in the air, and away from the wall. My sister and I would hit the wall constantly just to see how far we could launch ourselves. The first time seeing it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
I don't hear the Darkness mentioned very often in lists - super cool to hear. It was one of the first games that was reccomended to me by an Xbox friend many moons ago, and I really enjoyed it.
S
Hey Darth
@@gameranxTV Thank you Gameranx.
Ghost of tsushima had something like this if you went into a barbarian area I guess you weren't supposed to you'd get arrows from out of nowhere that would consume you.
My favorite invisible wall was on an old Amiga shareware game, Antepulum. It played very similar to the top down Ultima series. Once you got a ship if you sailed too far off land you fell off the edge of the world - the world really was flat in this game.
Glad to see spore on a list, still wish we would get a follow up to it
Golden Sun was awesome! Still go back and play through it time to time
Idk how but you guys always make the best lists
The splashdown one scared me as a kid but was also super fun to see on how far it could launch you and on what maps you can trigger it
PS: splashdown id a hidden gem you all must play. The music and gameplay is all on point, trust me, you won't regret it!!!
gameranx needs to do a random one (more random than usual) like the best posters in games, something silly yet a little interesting at the same time. Best sunglasses in games, best belt in a game, longest straight line in games
3:00 that is so true. me and my brother would have just as much fun with the barrier trying to see just how far it would fling us. cant help but to see subnautica and mention how extremely well done the atmosphere is. even still just watching it through this video going out in to the craters edge invokes strong feelings for me. it was pretty intense when i was playing and i cant get over it. i cant think of any other game that has done that to me.
