Hey guys,
so Yoranto upgraded his PS4 with SSD. I did the same thing, it saves apparently roughly 15s in any% and roughly 20-25s in glitchless.
I do not like the fact that upgrading your HW can save time in a game. However, I understand that straight up banning it is also a non-logical solution.
What I ask is this, add a filter to the leaderboards for the 'Disc type' - HDD or SSD. I've seen several games on srdc use this filter (Kingdom Hearts, Crash remaster, ...). They also use a filter for the console type, but since PS4 Pro crashes with TLOU and doesn't really make a difference, I do not think that is necessary.
Thanks for reading this through, I feel such a filter would at least make some stuff more transparent.
Why no console type? I mean TLoU is actually a Ps3 game so the Ps4 is also an upgrade of the hardware, like SSD.
If we add these filters imo they should exactly look like that: http://www.speedrun.com/khbbs02
Btw we don't know anything about SSD timesaves yet. It saves 5sec for minimum but don't know if anything above that.
No console type since no one actually runs on PS4 Pro or a PS3. It is up to you though, I just say it's useless for most part. Also you yourself claimed its the numbers I put above there :D If they are not accurate I am sorry, still want to add those filters however.
The most important thing is to add this in Left Behind too because Left Behind Any% WR won't be possible anymore without SSD in the future.
As of 30th November 2023, New Game runs for The Last of Us/The Last of Us: Remastered must use default skins and are not allowed to have activated costum skins/backpacks/etc.
We found out that costum skins potentially change the appearances of soundglitches, which also influences the loadtimes.
