Hi there! I'm new to speedruns and I have a couple questions for you! I'm not a speedrunner, but since I really love this game i just wanted to record a speedrun and submit it, without any competitive purposes (I think my best time will be somewhere around 4-5 hours). As I mentioned I'm not interest in doing a great or even a good time, I just would like to put my name down there in the leaderboard as an expression of my appreciation for this game. I read that speedruns (even if mine is only technically a speedrun, since it is everything but fast) should be recorded (obviously) and timed. Now, my concerns are these:
-
Do I have to time it in real time? Can i just record the video (using the method described in this forum to start the speedrun on ps4) and the add a timer that starts when the run starts with a video-editing program? I'm really concerned about this since I don't know how to time a speedrun properly and in real time. I'm all by myself and I don't know how to use properly programs live LiveSplit.
-
Do I have to time all the levels and actions or can I just time the completion of the game? (I'm interested only in that)
I repeat: I just want to leave a sign of how I much I love this wonderful game I've been playing for almost 20 years now, I'm not interested in good runtimes... so I hope I wouldn't have to put too much effort in understanding how to stream o time with new programs or to ask someone to be on my side to help me for 4/5 hours or so...
- Is there anything else that I need to know? (things I have to/I don't have to do in order for my speedrun to be accepted)
I really hope you can help me out, Thanks!
