I am trying to get into speedrunning, but I am pretty much only gonna be doing so on consoles at the moment. Wondering if there is others out there with Xboxs and gold subscriptions who fancy learning and running one or more or the free games each month. Could be fun going through it together and seeing games that we might not otherwise try. Perhaps even have a race at the end of the free period (though I am still new and not sure how races work) As to what to run, could do it like the speedrun weekly in the tournament forum and vote on a game, or just run what you like from the four on offer and everyone support each other whatever they choose, perhaps agreeing on a category to all aim for. I like the latter better (gives more individual choice) but open to suggestions A bonus is that if you sign up with rewards.xbox.com you get rewards for playing the free games for 10 hours 3 months in a row. So this could actually end up getting you free Xbox store credit.
Anyone up for this? from the 16th Superhot and Quantum conundrum go free with gold, both look like they have an active community and look a nice short length to run. I would be interested in running either.
Edit: retracted erroneous comment. Console are represented well in speedruns, apparently just not the games I've been looking at.
That seems like fun :) if u do the free game each month then u don't really need to vote :) also if a game has a pc version, that version may be speedruned the most because almost everyone has a pc and it is so easy to record on. ^^ I hope you find some one
Maybe I mean the big two modern consoles. Like I wanna try out the OoB stuff in Prey cus I love that game. But out of 27 any% runs, 26 are PC. Since almost every current gen game seems to have a PC version (I feel like Nintendo's are the only consoles with true exclusives these days), what MelonSlice said makes sense
"But out of 27 any% runs, 26 are PC."
That's only because recording on PC is free and better loads.
