So, especially with the latest run submitted being on PS4, and just in general with the differences in load times between systems being a huge impact over all, I decided to add time (without loads) to the leaderboards, so we can accurately compare our runs across platforms. Like, think somebody does this run on PS5 via backwards compatibility when it's released, and just gets to play with practically zero loads, that really can't work out for us.

So, since there is no autosplitter that would have load time removal for this game, and on top a console player wouldn't be able to use that anyway, here is how we'll time our loads: You basically use any video editing software (there are really good free ones, like Davinci Resolve) and cut your run in it to start on the frame you start the timer, and then remove all loading screens in the run. You do this by finding the first frame that has the "loading" icon on the bottom left of the screen, and cutting out the part from that frame until the frame the loading icon disappears. In the end you should end up with a video that only has actual game time, from time start to timer stop, without loads. You then look how long exactly the video is. This is the time you submit for the "without loads" field.

I will do this for my run, and I'd ask you to also edit your runs to have the time without loads in it. You can edit your run by clicking the 3 dots under the video on your entry, and selecting "edit run". I'll have to re-verify them, probably, but that shouldn't be a problem. I hope this makes runs a bit more comparable to each other.

So, as I just reviewed the first entry to be made for the full game, I guess it's in the interest of consistency that the end point of the run is clear:

As Letsplaytowin's run does the end split as the hand of the main character falls down in the end cutscene next to the life-support pod, I think we can agree to make that the exact end spot.

I'm looking forward to pick this run up again.

Oh, and as the game is now available on PS4 and Xbox One as well, I'd suggest adding those to the platforms. I can't really edit anything about the page, with just the verifier role.

Edit: Thanks for the super mod role, I think everything should be up to date and clear now.

Hello? Are you still alive snupsplus? I've been waiting for 17 days for my WR to get confirmed. If you don't have the time to moderate this board, please appoint someone else. I've been modding on 2 other games for a while, so I'd be fine to help out on verifications. It's just that half a month is a bit long of a waiting time for a verification of a run that doesn't even take an hour.

Hey,

After finally getting time to run this, I have two suggestions for these leaderboards:

Not having a field for milliseconds on the times is a bit weird. I mean, right now it doesn't really matter, since there's no runs that are within the same second, but having that field would generally be something I'd expect to be in.

Category naming should probably be just Any%, and not "End credits reached". Like, that's what Any% means. Reach the end as fast as possible.

Yo, can we set a convention for whether we use the in-game or the realt time field in submitting? Cause I just beat the WRs in the 3 IL Heart categoreis, and it would rank me second, cause I have it in the in-game field, while you, Armageddon, have it in the real time field.

I mean, we use in-game time for the ILs. We use real time for the other runs...

Hey So I got around to actually running this after planning to for a few months already. Any interest in adding categories for Ambulance and Space mode as well?
