Hey everyone! I’m super pumped to get started in the speed running community, at the moment, I’m thinking of starting with Doom (2016), played on the XBONE, now.. where should I start? What programs should I use? What are “rules” for speed runs? Thank you all and I can’t wait to get in contact with so many of you guys!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH GAME OVER YEAAAH Hello! :) Getting hype is something we know a lot about.
There are no standard programs you have to use. Use video of you playing the game. Most use an on-screen timer to help them know how long they've been running. You can find this stuff here. https://www.speedrun.com/resources As for rules, they are stated on the site itself. Each leaderboard is given individual rules. Certain games need different rules. For the overall site, just be a decent person and don't cheat.
Welcome aboard @ZacWattusHD! I hope you enjoy learning Doom, I haven't tried the 2016 version yet.
The rules and resources specifically for that game should be here https://www.speedrun.com/d2016
