It all comes down to the fun factor, in this game the challenge comes through restriction which leads to frustration, of course if you know the game through and through you can avoid many of the problems that I mentioned earlier, but for a first-timer that's a big negative point. Better example of challenge is in Crack in Time with hard mode. Anyways I doubt that Insomniac didn't know about that glitch, they probably left it there just for the fun of it, remember no Youtube in 2002. |
Crack in Time just makes enemies take more hits and do more damage. The new game is the best way the series has ever done difficulty honestly, because it makes EVERYTHING harder - the sewer section is faster, the hoverboard AI is harder, et alia res.
As for Insomniac knowing about the glitch, you had to do a VERY specific thing that I'm sure the QA team couldn't have tested at the time since they don't play the whole game at once. Plus it was patched out in the HD version so SOMEBODY heard about it after it came out. You can't easily fix clipping so they couldn't fix the Decoy Glove version of the glitch. Knowing Insomniac, they just missed it and somebody there probably just laughed when they found out!
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
