I am offering a $100 bounty to the first person to develop a mod for Miles Morales that allows all cutscenes to be skippable. Currently, for whatever reason, about a quarter of the game's cutscenes are natively skippable while the rest are not. This is the case across all platforms, and it turns a potentially lightning-fast white-knuckle speedrun into 53 minutes of "sit and watch a movie" which completely kills the game for me.

If we can skip the cutscenes, it might become my favourite speed game of all time.

PS4 and PS5 are stuck with the cutscenes, but hopefully the new PC version won't be. If you make a mod -- that an idiot like me can easily utilize -- allowing all cutscenes to be skipped, I will PayPal you $100 (one hundred United States dollars).

If it helps, here's a slight discount on the game itself - https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/marvel-s-spider-man-miles-morales (site is legitimate)

This is a fully serious offer (and before anyone says to post it in the forum for the game, I did. Weeks ago), and it's one of my most wanted things for a speedrun game ever. I'm sure it won't just be me that uses it either, even if the leaderboard disallows it.

You should post this in the Tournaments and Races forum

@SioN at least there it won't get lost by falling behind the other threads. Also no, I just load the posts to mark them as read, normally

What engine is the game written in? Very important

Well the Peter Parker game is apparently in a proprietary engine, per Wikipedia. It doesn't list an engine for Miles, but I would imagine it's the same one.

Says the PS5 version is on something called the Tempest Engine. Dunno if that's the same for PC.
