15 Insane Fourth Wall Breaks That BLEW Gamers Minds

Video games have the uncanny ability to break the fourth wall, to directly acknowledge the player, or to draw them into the game in some way. They do this in a variety of ways, and while some are subtle about it, others relish in making the player an active part of the game’s narrative or setting, like some of these games for example.

[@thomaschitham3487]

The Deadpool entry should not count, since the list is specifically fourth wall breaks that blew gamers mind, and Deadpool breaking the fourth wall is expected of him; it would blew people's minds more if he DIDN'T break the fourth wall.

[@jhovanyurrea8898]

agreed

[@madscientistshusta]

yep

[@fletcherstange9338]

the blow minds part is just there click bait thats only for like 1 or 2

[@tonberrymonk831]

tbh Neither should any Metal Gear game. All of them do it, it's a staple of the series. But since they did choose it they should have gone with the Psycho Mantis reading your memory card and making the controller vibrate bit from Metal Gear Solid.

[@thomaschitham3487]

MephestoBrinks Well, I have to disagree with the first part of your statement. Even though they are somewhat expected to happen, how and when they do it is what shocks the player. (This next statement is to clarify so I do not sound like a hypocrite) Deadpool is not really the same because even though it is expected, like MG, it is how often and how upfront they are about it. Deadpool uses fourth wall breaking as a central point and is usually present throughout its medium, a lot of the humour stems from this as Deadpool reacts in either a silly or satirical manner, until it gets the point where one can kind of expect him to say something so it comes as little shock when he does. Metal Gear, on the other hand, does not. They, although consistently, rarely use fourth wall breaks and when they do, not only do you not know when they are going to occur, making it a surprise when they do, but unlike Deadpool they treat every one with the utmost seriousness. As if they are not breaks in the fourth wall. And that what makes Metal Gear fourth wall breaks shocking. You play through this serious, slightly disbelief-suspending, game about conspiracies and weapons of mass destruction and are told to treat everything with the greatest of care. However, when the game become self-aware, it does not lead to jokes and such. They still treat it with complete seriousness. The humour comes from how bizarre it should feel to the characters, while the surprise comes how seriously they take it. That they would talk about it so casually as if it was some great trick, matter of life and death, or just something of concern. (Wish I could explain this better.) Besides that, yes, they should have used the Psycho Mantis example instead.

[@Jashin325]

All these Metal Gear entries yet no mention of the Psycho Mantis fight. WHAT?!

[@yahyachothia]

Cos everybody knows.

[@blaccroyal1]

I was thinking the same thing. Even MGS4 had a fourth wall break. Since the controllers are BT and the trick doesn't work, you could power it off completely and he would laugh and say something about how that trick doesn't work anymore.

In a first Metal Gear Solid I loved the boss fight with Psycho Mantis. At first it looked incredibly difficult but the key was to use player 2 controller so Psycho Mantis "could not read your mind". My mind was blown at the time. He also fiddled with the save icons on the memory card changing the icons. I love Kojima's ideas.

There is an obscure Xbox Indiegame called Saturn 9 that messes with absolutely everything in the later half, writing your xbox username on a tombstone, messing with TV settings, fake formats of hard drives, message and invite systems, as well as suddenly switching controls to that of a playstation (Button prompts change from ABXY to X, Square, Triangle, Circle) As well as birthday settings. Its fucking insane

[@DescendentJ0]

[@StriderOwO]

Saturn 9 is being released through Steam Greenlight as The Saturn 9 Collection, and it looks like it's adding in more stuff after the original game ends. Looks like fun.

[@enderzimagination5092]

2 more to add on: 1,The scene where Snake fights Psycho Mantis. Psycho Mantis reads Snakes mind, then reads your SD card, then tells the player to put the contoller on the floor, he then starts using his power to vibrate the controller. 2, Bubsy 3D. If you go AFK for a few minutes, Bubsy will get a remote controller and start mess with the settings with your TV. Such as the TV brightness, and other settings. While also looking straight at you, the player.

[@tykalox5843]

My favorite 4th wall break is in call of duty zombies when you run out of bullets and Dempsey screams "PLAYER PUT DOWN THE CHIPS AND GIVE ME MORE AMMO!"

[@ChrisCa1601]

A good 4th wall break came from the game Destroy All Humans! 2. At the beginning of the game Crypto and Reginald were talking about art. Then Crypto suddenly remarks "You do realize the player's in the kitchen making nachos right now." And in another mission you have to find Bongwater. When trying to recap the mission, the hippie gets confused, after which Crypto then remarks "You see, kids? This why you don't do drugs." These are just a couple of examples in the game. The franchise breaks the 4th wall constantly.

or at the end of a pacifist rout when flowey literally tells the player to let frisk live a happy life.

[@VoidBL]

MGSV wasn't a fourth wall break. It was literally anoth Big Boss the one you killed in MG for the NES. Kojima has a history of lying in order to avoid spoilers to the plot of his games. For example when he said it was him watching his creations in the hospital when it was really Ishmael.

[@ultardragonhero6894]

I just got done watching that scene and that was badass!

[@Ed_Crane]

I think Phantom Pain's ending was briliant. Of course I was frustrated at first to realize this guy I had spent so much time with was not Big Boss but just a random guy, but when you look back at it, you realize this guy is not just some random guy, he actually is Venom Snake, who eventualy became Big Boss as well, an other Big Boss, or more like the other half of the real one, kinda. And I love how the fact that there are actually 2 Big Bosses gives us a new perspective on the entire serie. I think that was a briliant twist, and an excellent way (the only one?) to end the serie.

[@kurokagethescrub9627]

Hyperdimension Neptunia: literally the entire series. The fourth wall doesn't exist in that game.

[@tenshionslifer3031]

[@KanekiKen-xg3ii]

I was thinking the undertale one was gonna be here. It's when you kill mother and you did it on accident then you restarted from the last checkpoint and the flower broke the fourth wall and said you killed her then restarted it which was super creepy.

[@semicolumnn]

If you do genocide, reset and do pasifist chara (The girl at the end of genocide) is still in your body.

[@adamm2091]

The only problem with the MGSV ruse cruise is a lot of us saw it coming and his way of directly acknowledging the players role in the series was already done in MGS2. So happy you touched on Spec Ops: The Line, would have been nice if you touched on the ending cutscene though, because that's the scene that directly acknowledged the players terrible actions and that we could have just stopped at anytime.

[@monkeyr2910]

Psycho Mantis scene in Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes will always be the most mind blowing for me.

[@Soup_SSB]

What about flowey messing around with your save files? Anne the fact in undertale that when you beat the genocide route there is a file that is added that can only be erased by deleting the game?

[@angelyuekero]

In Bravely Second they also break the 4th wall :3, the main character asks if someone is out there that can help them and give them a new chance, you have to get out of the game and choose New Game +

[@kateba]

angelyuekero That is not the worst 4th wall break pf Bravely Second, though. The final boss speaks directly to you, telling that you shouldn't be inflicting all that pain on the protagonists, and then threatens to delete your game files.

[@melissawickersham9912]

[@doodoobuttgaming]

9:02 I remember getting this when I first played the game when I was younger. Except what made it creepier was that right before it happened a voice came on over the intercom that said "did anyone catch the game last night?" And at the end of the voice it along with all other sound effects got distorted and it "crashed". It scared the crap out of me. Dont know if that was supposed to happen with the audio file tho. All i know was i crapped my pants.

The beginning of "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice" has a really eerie 4th wall break, when the narrating voice is talking about Senua, then she suddenly turns and looks at you with a disgusted look on her face... as if she can actually see and hear you. It's awesome!

[@UjjwalKumarJha-raymando]

Nothing blew my mind better than Ezio saying "Desmond?" at the end of Revelations. Just added the jewel to the crown of an ending to the epic trilogy.

[@Vivi-Sected]

I don't think MGSV blew anyone's minds. People figured out you wouldn't be playing as Big Boss from the very first trailer, before we even officially knew it was Metal Gear Solid. It was not only poorly written, but telegraphed from the very start of the game. Only thing mind blowing about it was that Kojima thought telling his fans "See, everyone is Big Boss!" would be a good ending. Like, his whole plan with Outer Heaven was to kidnap war orphans, turn them into child soldiers, and use them to fuel a constant state of global warfare; all because he was addicted to war, and killing was his only reason to live. Who wants to be that guy?

[@marko8699]

If kojima had stuck to his plan of showing us how Big Boss became the villain the world saw then I would have loved to experience all the horrible things he had done first hand

[@Vivi-Sected]

Mark Ondrejech We didn't really need that, though. By the end of Peace Walker he's got a secret nuclear robot that he plans on using as leverage against world superpowers. He has a completely rogue army of mercenaries that he flat out states will operate as terrorists and revolutionaries. He has no problem with having Chico, a child, as part of his military machine. When Ground Zeroes starts part of the MSF todo list is destroying documents to try and hide Metal Gear. He was already evil at that point, it was just harder for the audience to notice since we see it all from his perspective, and from his perspective none of it seems that bad. A game about Big Boss going evil was unnecessary, what was necessary was having a moment where they make the players realize we went to the dark side a long time ago. The really interesting thing would have been explaining how he started FOXHOUND while running Outer Heaven, and how the comic relief radio team from Snake Eater became an evil shadow government. Instead, Kojima decided to portray Venom as this totally perfect guy who is never evil, and even places the blame on the creation of The Patriots out of Zero's hands. The answer to the question of how the villains became evil was that they actually weren't evil all along, and it was all an accident/Skull Face/out of control AI. Kojima always did say each MGS was the last, and it really shows. He sort of wrote himself into a corner, and there wasn't really any way another Big Boss game was going to effectively bridge any perceived gaps in the story.

[@Vivi-Sected]

***** I think it's mostly his fault. He consistently failed to keep his games on time and on budget, often delaying them by years and costing tons of money. I don't like that Konami cut production short, and is mostly out of the video game business, but I can't blame them for getting fed up with Kojima bleeding money. Plus all the shitty story stuff, and a decent amount of the cutscenes, were shown in the earliest trailers, long before he split with Konami. It's clear a huge chunk of MGSV is missing, but the awful story was always supposed to be what it turned out to be. It's worth noting that until 4 there was a third writer on the MGS games, and after he left the writing got noticeably worse. I just don't think Kojima is actually a good enough writer to make a cohesive, good story.

There is a Point&Click Adventure called "Ankh", that I loved as a child and it has some pretty amazing 4th wall breaks. At one point the main character asks "Do we have to solve shifting puzzles in this game?" and the other person says "Only someone who's trying to waste time would create such boring puzzles" (But in fact, you DO have to solve shifting puzzles later in the game) And another time the question is "Can you actually die in this adventure?"
