Francegreetings. thank u for the suggestion, but there is not much sense behind such rule to disallow it. it's speedrunning, we going for speed.. not slowness. so as long it's benefits 'route' in time save there is no reason to ban it. it's only contribute logically.
I was actually interested in speedrunning the demo and starting a route for it.. but the problem is u can't skip the cut scenes in the demo which make it quite of a long speedrun and unproductive to route(ResidentSleeper)its takes out the whole rhythm from what the game actually provide which is a good speedrun . hopefully we be able to when the full game is out. but I would suggest making a board for the Boss Challenge section if possible.
just don't wear the headphones. I does it all the time. and if u don't have headphones and using speakers u can mute the game through PC audio settings and not the game settings. problem solved.
if there isn't Ellie% Encounter's only in whatever leaderboard. it seems like no one would be interest in doing the whole game Encounter's %. the fact those boards combined with PS5/PS4... is pathetic.
From what I know.. the management of this leaderboard not planning on adding more categories. I know some leaderboards like RDR2 for example, has an individual board for certain every encounter/chapter of the game. Maybe if TLOU games wasn't ' PS exclusive ' we would've see more categories. so could be in the future. PS5/PS4 console combined in the same board.. even though they should be separated. hope that's helps.
I don't know much about Abby% speedrun route and how much time save is there from the WR..? but let's say the current record is reasonably good run and no optimized strategies since then.. you'll be struggle. the fair solution for PS4 holders is just to make a separate board from PS5. Also I would suggest u to rewatch your run and the WR run see what u can find and making a comparisons.
And here is a great example according to your logical. "Part II was made for the PS4 it's going to run the same whether it's 60 FPS or 30" Guess what ??? GTA v was made for PS3 and later on for any platform. Yes it's going to run the exact same on any platform as PS3... I'm done here.
Then on this matter u just mentioned.. probably those ps4 runners just doing things better. could be better/optimized strategies. great RNG's. good movement and ETC. because if that's the case.. even 100FPS can't help on this matter. and I've tried to explain it already.. from what notice so far, I'm not sure if there is any logical capacity.
all of the WR's on Grounded WAS HELD* by PS4 holders. there is benefits on 30 and 60 both whether is RNG wise on 30 or collateral, some encounter's works more consistent onPS5 and on PS4 not. The only cons I can see for PS5 holders is the switching FPS part during a run.. the rest of it are benefits time and better gameplay experience for 60. it's not like u doing this every other minute.. so it's not much of cons IMO. I don't know what kind of 'test' u was doing there.. but guess what ? best horse ride u can get on 60 on permadeath is 1.53, and on 30 1.54. regardless to this example.. there is in between 0.5,1-2 seconds time benefit on most of the encounter's on 60 compared to 30. and it's speedrun here right ? every second counts. and why would u know that ? bc u haven't done any serious test according to "We don't need to do that LMAO" so anything that u saying about this topic here is invalid. In competitive tournaments at the high level all the competitors holding the same PC specs and monitor for a reason. It's not like expensive equipment will make a great player.. it's more about practice and experience. the other stuffs is just an extra. I never assumed stuffs here.. I've did my homework before and u didn't. Peace
