Ruin the game
1 year ago

Why do you ruin Speedrun games by watering down any% category with REbirth.

It detracts interest away from the game and makes it more confusing stops new fans coming to the game. Best decision is to leave it alone. My 2 cents

REbirth is a separate category. There is nothing stopping you from running the game without REbirth.

My friend, you take life too serious.

We're all enjoying re3 speedruns and having friendly competition without anybody complaining about vanilla/rebirth. Nothing prevents you from running the game.

Wish you the best.

Ok I just find it upsetting to tamper around with the game years later, I have followed the game for years since wusscake was 1st.

i dont think its effected it too badly on reflection.

Well the idea of using patches is to improve accessibility. These games won’t always run well, or at all, on modern systems. Anyway, the game is hardly dead the WR was tied a few weeks ago and the guy in 3rd is grinding for record daily.

I think you should try rebirth first and see the advantages for yourself, people should be able to play whatever version they want. It's not like they are completely different games.

What advantages does rebirth offer?

makes the game run smoother and less input delay downside is you can crash at the bell push door as Carlos

It also fixes the wobbly textures and looks much better. The crash at the bell push is something that never happened to me but i've seen it happen many times to other runners, it is sound related as far as i know but i don't remember if gemini actually found a fix for it.

some door skips are different as well.
