This is not an uncommon thing, btw. RE often adds the cutscene time to IGT (look at GameCube RE2 runs for example). This difference in times isn't an argument for RTA.

Congratulations on finding points I didn't make. I merely said the difference in times isn't an argument for switching. I never said anything more. Stop arguing against points I didn't make, that's called a logical fallacy.

Has anyone noticed any big differences in IGT between runs? My IGT seems to be different from my RTA by a pretty consistent amount on all runs which indicates that while the IGT may be fucked it is at least consistently fucked.

I'm only an occasional runner of this game but I thought the explanation for keeping the IGT was perfectly reasonable. I don't get where all the animosity and confrontation is coming from?

I think this game is just fucked in general lol! Got a IGT of 36:59 Any% (Easy) Console with some updated strats. So whatever is decided doesn't matter until accurate autosplits are made. Wouldn't take it too hard.

i don't check the forums especially regularly but yeah I'm with Bling, the IGT in this game is balls and produces totally insane results and i'm completely unsure why it's the default for this board when there's been a general lack of coherent explanation for how it even works.

we didn't even know what bits counted and didn't until I did messing around a couple months back. RTA is subject to the oddities of hardware, but also literally every playstation game is and there's not even much proof the IGT isn't subject to that same weirdness it's just harder to tell

edit: fair warning though Bling, PS3 loads really slowly and is pretty much the worst option possible for RTA'ing PS1 games
