As every speedrunner knows, some platforms are better for games than others. This holds true with Revolver as well.
From careful research and analysis, speedrunner Mashun has managed to figure out that the Xbox Series S/X and xbox one family of consoles run Revolver fastest, with the original xbox being the next best console. PS4/PS5 and Ps2 are the absolute slowest consoles you can use.
On the newer xbox models, revolver also runs at 60 FPS. That might make a huge difference.
This is more for new runners that might want to know which console to run on.
Fair fair. Yeah Xbox is 100% faster by comparison. I noticed that a few years ago when wanting to get into the game.
Just wanted to add to this and update it. I've since owned and tested the original Xbox version and it is not great for knife glitch strats. The framerate increase makes it super difficult in comparison to the ps4/5.
Ps2 is by far the worst version you can run on that we know of and I don't believe ps3 has really been tested but it has potential to be the best version or at least equal to the ps4/ps5. That being said the Xbox versions are the best for no major skips because that category doesn't use the knife glitch at all.
dang that sucks, I was planning to run this on og xbox. Is knife glitch like impossibly hard on xbox or just hardER than on playstation
also I pretty much have no clue what knife glitch is. Is it just a one frame trick?
I dunno how I didn't see this month's ago but knife glitch isn't one frame, not even close. It's pretty much 100% consistent. You just need to know what directions to proxy in. Also the og xbox version is significantly harder and when I tried bear mountain skip I didn't get it once in 2hrs. If you're on any xbox console Goodluck running anything but no major skips. Playstation 4/5 consoles are the way to go. Maybe 3? 3 needs testing.
In order I'd say Ps4/5 is the fastest then any xbox console and then ps2. Ps2 loads are disgustingly long.
Updating this now. As of today the Xbox Series S version is the best console to run on. It saves a significant amount of time in loads (estimated 6+mins) and has every playstation skip besides bear mountain skip. But the timesave from loads overpowers said skip.
So the console order from best to worst is a Xbox Series S console, then the OG Xbox, PS4/PS5 and finally the worst being PS2.
Ps3 is still untested but it's doubted that it'll save much time if any at all. The Xbox Series X, Xbox One and 360 have not been tested but I assume the X and maybe Xbox One can keep up.
Just posting this so everyone interested in running will know that the Xbox Series S/X is the most optimal console to run the game. Xbox One is slightly slower and the 360/OG is only slightly faster than playstation consoles. BCPS3 is still untested.
