Because of the fact that the text skip is no longer possible, and it is not possible to play on an older version of the game, all current records should be considered obsolete, as the text easily adds 4 minutes to a run
Yeah, I've always looked back at this game and wanted to do more, but because we don't have a way to downpatch and such, I can't really justify it. Placing current runs that have this skip in a legacy section would also solve the problem
Hello everyone, I may be interested in buying and running this game for PS4 Console. I don't fully understand what the history of text-skip for this game is, so not sure if runs in the leaderboard at the moment can be beaten or not. Can you please explain?
Is anyone moderating this game anymore? Clearly the PS4 world record should be removed from the site. The video is not available anymore and the time is suspiciously quick compared to all other runs. It must have done with the old patch. Can anyone fix it please?
sry for the late reply, i kinda gave up on this topic :) when i did my run a year ago the ps4 wr vod was still online and looked legit. also my run is done without text skip and should be beatable, but i can only speak for pc version.
We checked their Twitch and Youtube - all their videos are gone (save 3 videos on Youtube and none of them are Home). I think Rapix would agree with me that for any WR, we need to be able to point to a video. If they would reupload it, we'll gladly reverify it.
Hello everyone, a bit of recap: @GeothermalShrub I started running and testing stuff this week. I re-watched all runs and the only run in the board with Text-Skip is the run by @tictin in PC 2nd place. If it was in 1st place I would have considered separating the board in "Legacy" and "Current Patch" but there is not need for me at the moment, since the PC WR is beatable and it was run using the current patch (No text-skip). However, for fairness and clarity I added the ("Legacy" and "Current Patch") info as visible variable to all run (*check the leaderboard). The PC WR run by @f1y is a legit run without text-skip, a well optimized run with little time save.
The Console WR was removed from the board because, as @Droogie4Ever said, all videos were removed from SRC.com, Twitch, and Youtube. The time was highly suspicious being around 7mins which it's fair to say it is impossible with the current patch (I believe even with old patches). Also, that run was verified by a moderator that never run this game. If the run is legit, the runner can re-submit it and we will re-verify it and attribute the right variable to it. The Console WR is now hold by @VirtualBlend, a good run made with the latest Console patch 1.02 (visible from the home screen) and without Text-Skip. The time is beatable.
I hope this solve all issues and it shed light on the various version, times on the board and rules. All current WRs are beatable and done with the latest patch.
