So I've got a guy bugging me on YouTube that I was supposed to start the timer at New Game select rather than first input (the latter being the rule for Infamous 1, 2, First Light, and FOB).
The rules here actually don't say anything for any%, and some of the runs we have on that leaderboard -- and not that this necessarily means anything, but they're runs from people who aren't really part of our community -- do start their timers at New Game select. Sk8's 100% runs started the timer at first input and the rules for the two 100% categories do specifically say first input as a result.
It's 1 minute and 50 seconds from New Game select before you gain control of Delsin in the first spraypaint event. So we either need to add that amount of time to my run (which I would not favour, not because I give a shit about my current time but because I don't like that timing method in the first place and because it's inconsistent with the other games) or take that amount of time away from from Gamecuber23's and ngsonicrocks's runs at least. Macasadia1, AzNF_GH, and fractale do not have onscreen timers, so it isn't clear where they started theirs (let alone the missing video).
Hopefully this will be simple to clear up.
I will adjust the times sometime in the next few days for this, and all games for a starting time of first input. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
No it's fine, it's good that we get this figured out and get it consistent.
I didn't mean anything negative by "bugging me" just that you were raising the issue. Bad choice of words, sorry.
