Rules and categories?
8 years ago
Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Hello everyone, I've been playing this for a while and I finished a route for the game as well. I've done a run of some sorts but the video got cut because of connection issues and the audio got partially muted, which should be fixed on my next attempt.

I came here to discuss possible rules/categories for this game, just so the pages looks i little bit nicer.

From what I could gather this games offers some basic ideas:

Every car has 6 races + 2 DLC races; There are 43 cars (or 42, I don't remember) + a bunch of DLC ones that can be used on career; In this game the DLC brings cars, events and billboards, but the billboards can be broken without acquiring the DLC for it;

Categories-wise, would be insteresting separating dlc form no-dlc, as there is much more content w/ dlc and it would be a much faster speedrun.

About rules, My run would use the following setup:

  • No external music, only the EA trax would be playing during the run, with subtitles enabled;
  • I'd play on an alternative account with no friends AND in offline mode;
  • Timer would start after pressing enter during the Offline notification after you start the game;
  • Timer starts when the screen fades away before the ending cutscene, which occurs after you shutdown all blacklist cars;
  • Run would be RTA as the game has shown signs of crash (mostly random and unexpected);
  • Save file would be deleted before the run to configure a fresh start. About saves:
  • You can disable cloud storage on origin;
  • Keyboard controls and other misc options (volume, settings, subtitles, metric/us imperial) is placed on a different file from the saved data (which records your SP, races finished, carsa opened, billboards triggered and etc.), which is pretty convenient to reset your progress back to zero, but without having to change the control every time.

These are the basic ideas, will follow this thread to continue the discussion. Have a good day.

EA trax might still get caught by content id, so it's not really that different from using your own music. I'd advise either do some research on which tracks you can use, or use music that won't get caught by content id - game music is usually pretty good (and since this is NFS game, the music from NFS classics is perfect :) )

I don't know about the rest, I've only played this game once, so if you want, I can make you a mod and you can create your own categories.

Also, we have a discord channel if you want to have a chat. Might be better than talking on forums as it's slow.

From what happened on my PB, at least 2 songs from the soundtrack are problematic, so I might make a playlist of my own if similar audio mutes happen from now on.

I'll make a run later today and submit it as well, I'll gladly moderate this game and add some basic rules for it as well.

Where could I get the discord server invitation link? My discord tag is Smosism#1672 if you want to send it in private or seomthing.

Tnx in advance.

The link is in general NFS forums.

EDIT: You are now a mod.
