Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoyed it! If you wanna see more why not check out our Inside Story about the very bizarre history of an old Resident Evil 2 (1998) sound effect - th-cam.com/video/aYg4wv3fPj8/w-d-xo.html Thanks! - Dale.
Awesome video. Hard to believe after so many years talking about this with my brothers someone actually covered the whole story! PS: I’m the blurred one on the right of the photo you showed ;)
Damn, the nostalgia this video made me feel. Though not part of the speedrunning community for RE4 (Mercenaries player here) all the names and the history is something I've been there for since the beginning. Excellent work tracking down the creators of this famous glitch.
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.
And now Capcom has immortalized the glitch in the Remake, as you can get a Legendary charm of the Striker that increases your run speed. Even now Ditman is influencing Resident Evil 4
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.
The way they discovered it was funny but it's just really wholesome that it's two brothers just playing a game they love together. Reminds me of my childhood with my brother as well, with me as the eldest sister just teaching him how to play RE4 as it is our first game to play together. Very nice.

Imagine just wanting to step away from the speedrun community and deciding to delete your online handle only to have IGN publish a giant expose on you and start to hunt you down.
Thanx for this video, all involved. Thank you for making it to finding the Ditman brothers. I'm a proud Mom, and for my son coming forward with this journey finally resolved. This Glitch Owns. 5 *
amazing work finding the ppeople behind ditman333 gotta say the dude is modest and cool (^^)/ usually others lie on how they encounter ,discovered the glitched . well done mate (^^)/ .
For anyone wondering and if you have the PC version and you have version 1.06 you can use the Ultimate Trainer and set the player speed to insane levels
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 👍👍
This is why they usually have categories for speed runs. Most “any percent” runs don’t care how you get to the end they just want to see how fast they can get there by any means.
Cheating is only when you don't folloe the rules of the speedrun, and glitches are only allowed on "any%" runs, but there is also a category called "Glitchless" where no glitching or exploiting is allowed

@@divinewind222 Thank you and It's awesome to see you here brother of Ditman 🤗
This is honestly some of the best video game journalism I've seen in a very long time.
Wow thank you. Very kind - Dale
7/10
Hell has frozen over. IGN did legitimate journalism and followed the story with an actually entertaining and informative video
The same can't be said for their reviews.
It's a miracle!
Feels like ign from 2009
This glitch should have an easter egg in RE4 Remake
You're right
100%
@Nojimbon Nuhu No.
@Nojimbon Nuhu shut
And give credit to both brothers
The amount of dedication put into this video is insane. By far one of the best videos I've watched this year.
Wow, what a lovely thing to say! Thank you very much - Dale.
Amazing video. Thank you for the effort put into making this, and thank you Ditman for discovering the glitch.
Thank YOU for checking it out and your lovely comment. - Dale
Love to see passion projects like this from IGN, and especially Dale!
respect the sea my guy

Loved this video. On point research. A tribute for Ditman brothers well deserved!
Great job! More short documentaries like this please! Kudos!
Dude, this ditman333 worth mentioning in RE4 remake.
Hardcore fans will be very much appreciate it
he ist truly in the re4 remake he have an easter egg and the striker charm the ditman easter egg
@@Vojoo93 nicee.. gotta to see that
Excellent Video Dale! Amazing work. It was so worth the wait, very nice to be a part of this, really enjoyed it 😁

Imagine getting this glitch in future resident evil 4 remake ;)
We could get a cheat code but the glitch itself can't be in RE4R
Hmm

Mad lad actually found the man, the myth, the legend... Or the half of it
The editing in this video is amazing, well done.
Damn, IGN is redeeming themselves
Really great video. Hope to see more of this kind of content
This is awesome, an iconic glitch. Great video!!
Cheers!

haha, I can assure you that Ditman is very happy we did this! - Dale
Amazing work! Been running RE4 since it came out. Seeing Ditman now is like wow ...huge for the community
wow it's actually scary how you can find someone through the power of the internet if you try hard enough, no wonder things like doxxing are a thing.
I’ve been playing resident evil since ps2 and have never heard of this glitch wow thanks IGN
Holyyy... IGN with a dope video on a classic game. Love to see it
There should be a trophy or an easter egg in re4 remake called you are not ditman and it unlocks when you try to do it or somethin
This glitch should be added into RE4 remake like Vicarious Visions did for the Crash Trilogy
15:26 so Ditman glitch actually founded by Jesse and Tony
ACTUAL gaming journalism. 10/10, would watch again.
This is just amazing, how a simple glitch can change a game forever
This game is so amazing and the history of it's speedrunning is so fascinating!
YES SHOW THIS NEW GENERATION THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME AND EDUCATE US ON THE GLORY OF SPEEDRUNNING
What an amazing video! You are really one of the best gaming journalists out there!
An unusually well produced and entertaining video from IGN well done guys but video ruined by ads every few seconds.
What ads?
Adblock is your friend.
Opera on mobile works as well, since Vanced is no longer an option.
@@Adramelech71 I'm using ReVanced on Android and have no complaints.
Amazing documentary. Loved it.

Amazing researching skills! He's finally identified.
This is amazing. Reminds me of Gametrailers/Easy Allies PopFiction videos.
Great work, congrats, this is really cool! :D
Thank you very much! - Dale
Capcom needs to make an honorary shout to Ditman on the Re4 remake. It’s only right for the founders and the speed run community.
Thank you for finding the men the legends behind the glitch… Ditman
Loved this video guys ❤️
Re4 is my all time favourite game
This was a great watch!
One thing is for sure, weed had a big part in this glitch.
Is this the same journalist who did the piece about the RE2 lab door sound effect?
Not a journalist, but yes, that was also me 😊
Ign should do more of these
Yeah this is way above usual IGN video quality video. Fantastic watch.
amazing work finding the ppeople behind ditman333 gotta say the dude is modest and cool (^^)/ usually others lie on how they encounter ,discovered the glitched . well done mate (^^)/ .
Really interesting video. Hope there's more like this!
Great work Dale.
For anyone wondering and if you have the PC version and you have version 1.06 you can use the Ultimate Trainer and set the player speed to insane levels
The VR version does have a mode that makes everything fast as heck.
shoutout for giving props to his bro! 👌🏾
So you are telling me that 2 people figured out a legendary glitch while they are high legend
This reminds me of Gametrailers “myth or fact” series. Not exactly the same, but the feels are. This was cool.
There better be a ditman shoutout in the REmake, capcom should honor the legend that broke the original RE4
about that.....
As Ditman consists of 2 person, should we call them...Ditmen?
This video was straight fire
He sounds like he’s still smoking a lot of weed
Can we get more of these video IGN?
please and thank you
Enjoyed this thoroughly but man, the amount of ads are a bit much.
Beautiful journalism IGN. ❤
Shout out to all the young gamers in 2005 that discovered this without the use of the Internet.
Wow now this is without a doubt a subject that’s actually interesting
Been waiting for this.
No way you guys made a vid on the ditman :D legendary
Ditman is the guy who have created this glitch?
Yup
@@andytorres6052 Thanks :)
Waiting for resident evil 4 remake....🙂🙂
AMAZING WORK!!
The ditman glitch: side effect of weed.
Absolutely love this.
Great video!
What the hell is that clicking during the interview?
Love these vids. UK team are the best. P.s bring back "never played..."
Excellent content!
Great video IGN
I honestly want to know who's the graphic designer and how he made all these OG RE4 UI stylized elements
Ditman and merchant the biggest mystery of all time 😂🤙
Digging for Ditman
Great video 👍🏽
*Yeah agree 👍🏾❤️ with all the statements.*
So... what really happened to Ditman (Tony)?
EXCELLENT WORK
Gamefaqs merger wiped out the old forums.
It’s obviously an insider trying to stay anonymous so they don’t get fired.
Hopefully the Remake has at least a reference or something, a message popping up would be cool.
striker charm XD
@@lesleydive985 Yeah they could at least have called it Ditman though.
Excuse me, there a video between your ads.
Thank the weed 🌿
Props to the ditman bros
Dale Driver be like “DitmanFreeFreeFree” and “bruvuh” lol
Bloo’y Blokes. Gotta love em.
Great journalism
😂 - Dale
this is really cool, but the 30 some odd ads are killing me
Heard about this on the uk ign podcast, very cool documentary.

Yeah that’s blatantly cheating imo
@@ELTRIZOMIK it's not though because it's all stuff that can be done in the game
It's only cheating when you modify the game. If a glitch can be done in an official version of the game then it's fair game.
Cheating is only when you don't folloe the rules of the speedrun, and glitches are only allowed on "any%" runs, but there is also a category called "Glitchless" where no glitching or exploiting is allowed
I'm in love with this picture of leon
Dale never misses!
So kind, but I can assure you I do! Those one just quickly get forgotten 😅 - Dale
Can you do the ditman glitch on the VR version?
Pretty sure you can't but I've never played VR
