Segmented runs

Just my opinion, JessicaSix's run should be #1 in a seperate category. I know that we don't have a lot of people running/praticing/whatever this game, but you can't compare RTA to segmented. Segmented run's are completely legit, but it's not the same as spending literally 10hours+ in one go. It's bad to have too many categories (e.g. NFS:Carbon, HOLY SHIT) if there are not enough runners, but seperating RTA and segmented is what we need.

Btw, congrats JessicaSix! :-)

Yeah, I realized that too after JessicaSix submitted his run.

Grim: Found any big time-savers in Carbon? :)

Btw, when did you "paused" the timer when you save/reload your game? Or, did you count everything in your video? As I'm beginning a segmented run too, I'd like to know what do you think is the best to cut the video when I'll have to fuse all the segments.

I think personnally to do it when you get a text message after beating a BL member, but I fear that I won't always restart at the same place (safehouse or parts shop).

It depends how the game saves. If it saves automatically, then you can pretty much cut the video after it does that. If you have to do it manually (doubt it, even U2 saves automatically), then you have to include the video of you saving.

There might be also some continuity issues like in Carbon, which you should avoid. For example in my segmented run, I always start a new race after the one I've just completed, otherwise the video/audio in map won't match (I cut the video during loading screen).

So maybe I should cut during the loading screen then.

And yes, ofc, MW has autosave, but this is a loss of time, because it saves right after a race, and when it saves I can't select the menu with the races. So I turn it off. For a segmented run, the only times I'll save will be in the safehouse after beating the BL member, and only if I'm satisfied with the segment.

You can do it the same way I do in Carbon. Finish a race, start a new one and cut the video during loading screen or after. Then just load the autosave, start a new race, start recording during loading screen and then just edit both videos in such a way that noone will even notice it's segmented.

Unless you want it to look like segmented run... I don't.

France

I wont cut after each race tho. Just doing 15 segments, 1 for each BL member in enough. So I think I might cut during the loading after the cards of each BL.

Czech Republic

As you wish, but my advice is that once you do a segmented run, you should really push it to the limit (that's what segmented runs are for) and segment as much as possible in order to save as much time. Maybe you'd be surprised how much time can be saved if you just repeat one race over and over, especially in a game like MW with heavy rng police.

In my Carbon run, I was able to save 5 seconds in the very first race compared to my usual times. If I do this 12 times, I have a minute saved and that's a lot of time.

France

I see what you mean and I totally agree with that. I already know that even in the 1st segment I can gain many seconds everywhere.

This is a just a problem of editing after. I don't really understand how to combine 2 vids if I enable autosave. I should probably retry a race like 100 times and disabling autosave. OR, I record X segments for each BL member, and mix them after.

I'm so lost right now with editiing xD

France

Eclipsx, when will you stream again some MW?

I'd like to see someone else racing sometimes, to compare our routes and/or driving technicks.

Germany

Not sure yet. Maybe in a bit, maybe tonight (around 11pm CET ~ )
