Oh. Then that's not really IGT, since it's not a time that's in the game. But no matter. I certainly could remember some cutscenes being skippable that later weren't (especially in the first mission). What all changed over time?

"Can I speedrun...."

Yes.

That's the only answer needed for that question. Speedrun anything you want.

If you want to know whether the communities for the games in question will set leaderboards for what you want to run, you should ask those communities directly.

Do the run. I'm sure the mods will be much more inclined to add it in that case.

Meh. All this site ever was for Pac was a cash cow, too. I'm not really concerned by any of this.

SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN! Please follow the 'website' link to Fleet Fest IV's page on oengus.io. All submissions will be handled there this time around.

(I agree that prohibiting use of the forum is very bad form at best and possibly rulebreaking at worst? But just get Discord. It's really good)

Discord is free. Get it.

What an amazingly, incredibly helpful response!

Yes. I want to use my same capture device.

[quote]why not just use a phone? They have pretty solid cameras.[/quote]

That would be fine. What phone has HDMI?

I'm glad the site provided a "runs at risk" list but all it actually is is a list of YouTube-based runs submitted before 1 January 2017. It doesn't show which VOD's actually are at risk of becoming unwatchable. So how as a viewer (/slash game moderator) can I tell which are?

There isn't one. We tried back in 2017 to hold "Northwest Speedfest" in Seattle and we did have the event, but the organizers wanted to make "the next one" better and it never happened. There's been constant cycles of "we'll have the information about the next event in a couple weeks" followed by six months of silence. The Discord server (which I can't even give an invite to, GG mods) is omeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeega dead ever since then. For literal years people have (seemingly) tried to reorganize but nothing has ever happened, and I doubt it ever will to be perfectly honest.

I'm not seeing it anywhere. And is it tested reliable?

What's there to be confused about? There's upgrades and mods you can only get in NG+. A true 100% would have to count those.

Additionally, for some horror games, JP releases are faster because of less onscreen gore (and therefore, less lag).

[quote=Oreo321]Sometimes speedrunners might choose other languages than Japanese. There are several examples from GDQ (I forgot which games) where the runners chose German or French, because they were faster than all other options.[/quote]

raises hand

My AGDQ run was done in Italian, because fast

This (from the game's "Guides" section) may be of interest to you https://www.speedrun.com/re8/guide/f1b3n

If you run on PC, your run is PC. Control method doesn't matter.

In general, if you have game-specific questions or concerns direct them to the community for the game itself. This forum is site-level and not game-specific. The forum is located here -> https://www.speedrun.com/re8/forum and the RE community also has a Discord server where you'll likely get quicker answers. It's located here -> https://discord.gg/QEvpZ5yHeM

I'm hoping to start streaming DS games, and I think my best bet is to record the screen itself. I've got a basic setup in mind but I need a camera that can HDMI-out a live image. Any ideas?

I'm looking for conventional retail releases if at all possible, yes. But thanks for the responses :)

Not quite what I thought this thread was gonna be about :D

I almost never remember my dreams (truthfully, most people don't, at least not accurately). I used to keep a dream journal, should probably start doing that again.
