Hi,

regarding speedruns I guess that only the final ingame-timer will matter.

Still the timer runs, when you are doing stuff in the item box and the inventory. So wouldn't it make more sense to split the game's category by input-device instead of console and PC, especially since the game runs basically the same on all systems and digital foundry confirmed, that all the important character animations are locked to 30fps no matter what your framerate is.

Greetings.

wdym by important character animations, like cutscenes? puzzle interactions? movement? aiming? boss animations? There's more I think but I can't think of all of them atm

Why would peripheral matter more then what hardware it's played on? Performance of the hardware is the major determined factor in speedruns. The peripherals used are generally just what ever people are comfortable with using. Also yes the igt runs while inside the box or activing any objects in the world space etc, what is that relevant to I'm curious.

Not to mention the frame rate tied to damage will make a huge difference from console to pc since console has slower frame rate
