Hello everyone. ^^
I've been a member here for some time, but never ventured to the forums until now. I used to speedrun Fatal Frame 2 all the time, just for fun on my own. Though I think I'm looking into streaming some runs at some point.
I do have a question that I couldn't seem to find an answer to, and I hope it's OK to ask it here. To submit a speedrun, do you have to do it live, like on Twitch? And do you need to use a facecam while you do it?
Thanks in advance! I'm looking forward to being a part of the community. :)
Hello and welcome to the speedrunning community, @persephone325! I hope you enjoy your stay here!
As for your question, most games do not require you to stream your attempts live via Twitch, nor do they require you to have a facecam. However, it's always best to make sure before you start your runs. In the case of Fatal Frame II, it seems that just a facecam-less recording of your run will do.
Hope this helped!
Hello there!
Yes, that helps! Thank you so much! I do hope to get into the speedrunning game again. It's a bit nerve wracking, I have to say! lol ^^
Bonjour

Streaming isn't required, same for facecam. As long as there's a vid (uploaded on youtube or anywhere else) that shows the game, it should be ok. Ideally, you'd want to add the timer to it, it's not 100% necessary but it's preferred (some mods are too lazy to re-time your run if there's no timer).
Streaming can be nice though, since you can just highlight anything from the stream (PBs, possible new glitches, and so on). You could do all that while recording locally, but doing it via twitch would probably save you some time in general (finding the part you want to upload, if you just record everything, editing, etc).
Ohh. That makes sense!
I'll have to practice a bit, since I play on console and pretty much all the speedrun games I watch are done on a PC so it's easier to quickly hotkey to the next segment.
Welcome, welcome. Stay awhile and listen. Much has yet to be discovered in tristr...... speedrunning.
