@@jon.schnee I don't think the engine take role much unless if it have other features from renderer or engine itself. Mostly art style made by dev.

Me1 is more of "too perfect it feel like hell" type of atmosphere and story so the artstyle must be like its way too perfect to be true. Plus the game is mostly baked in and that's why the game run well in its time
Any% "pro-glitch-use" speedruns like this one are the kinds of runs that give me the most appreciation for what a legitimate, high-accuracy, tightly controlled skill speedrunning really is. It's one thing to play through a game quickly, but it's a whole other beast to memorize and master several kinds of nearly (or fully) frame-perfect maneuvers, how to use them properly, when and where to use them, and then to use them to navigate an entire game perfectly without messing up a single one, taking advantage of every possible opportunity to shave off a tenth or hundredth of a single second everywhere it's possible to do so according to an entire community's understanding of the game's programming. It's truly impressive.
Yes that is massively impressive, and I can appreciate and acknowledge the skill needed to do so, but that doesn't change the fact that you are using glitches, which depends on the game, the console, and the ability to react quick enough. I have played this game on Xbox 360, and encountered none of these glitches, so I don't know if they even exist on that console. Plus there is no way to switch controls to a hot bar, or anything like that, so if you want to do something you have to press the correct buttons, which is harder then just switching to the scroll wheel. And even then I don't know if I can call this a Speedrun, Because he just skips most things and ends up breaking the game. I noticed that when he was hit by the cop In an animation that would usually make you be pushed back and stall you for a second, that nothing of the sort happened. It could still be a Speedrun, I just don't know if I personally can call it that, it just seems too dependant on glitches, instead of going through the whole game, fights and all, and seeing how fast you can push yourself to complete it. This is my first time seeing a Speedrun with so many glitches that let you skip so much, so I'm a little confused, and, won't lie, disappointed. Especially because he is doing it while using desktop, and the moves he makes relied on him using the scroll wheels or a hot bar, or a quick key or something like that. I play games to enjoy not only the scenery they make, but also the world they build in it's entirety, story included. So to see most of it skipped or broken in such a way does kinda disappoint me, even if I do find it interesting that the game had that many glitches that conveniently aid the player.
@@dakotamorrison7752 If you don't like any% which is the entire point to allow glitches. Then, just watch a no glitch speedrun? any% isn't for everyone.
@@Faunarr I never said I didn't like it, I said I was confused and disappointed. This is the first time I have seen a speed run that took glitches to this level of extreme just to beat a game as quickly as possible. because it's the first time I have seen a speed run use glitches to such an extreme I was and frankly kinda still am confused if this could be considered a legitimate speed run, because this seems like something that could only be done in PC, and also seems like they just had a flawed version of the game with more glitches than normal. I played and beat this game within an hour or two on my second or third try, so I was interested in how fast others beat the game so I searched up speed runs and found this one. I'm gonna be honest it's been a while since I made that comment so I can't remember everything that day, but if I do remember right, when I searched for speed runs of the game, most of them just seemed like regular old gameplay to me. Especially because they didn't seem to do much better than I did on my second or third play through. Then I found this and it was the only one that seemed like someone was legitimately trying to finish the game as fast as possible. And so when they did most of the speed run using glitches that took them outside the map border to avoid basically everything, it kinda disappointed me, but only slightly. And just saying this now, when I watched this video I didn't notice the any% in the title. And even if I did, before this comment I didn't know what any% meant so I still wouldn't have known.
Funnily enough, the first time I played that level, I was looking backwards and got hit by every pole while wondering why I was taking damage. I don't think they can kill you
Lmao I loved the “Chase” part around 9:40. Imagine running away from someone and they’re somehow so much faster than you that they’re running infront of yiu
Going the extra mile in chapter eight, I must admit, that was more than great. I enjoy your commentary oh so much, Especially when you turn it uop a notch.
This channel is so necessary and well done. I find it hard to watch speed runs of games I'm not super familiar with. You give me an understanding of what otherwise seems like nonsense and then I can appreciate it. So, thanks I guess.
"He then performs a series of wall boosts, which is one of the most satisfying things in this run" My guy, this is a speedrun of parkour game. Every second of footage is guaranteed to reach orgasmic levels of satisfaction.
The rhymes in chapter eight all flew over my head. Honestly sometimes I feel so slow it’s like it’s filled with some lead. Either way it was a nice comedic touch that brought out some nice vibes. Kinda gave these Boring stress free weeks a bit more life in these super grim times.
I hope you end up on every GDQ couch for the rest of your life. Your commentary is always nice to listen to. Even when you're playing the games, you still provide great commentary. There is never a need to apologize for a slow upload schedule.
Sick jokes, wild rhymes, good explanations - great video! You're a great host and this video rekindled my love for the original Mirror's Edge. Thanks for worrying about our health, too :)
Hey tomato! The trippy visuals caused by going out of bounds is a common thing in a lot of 3D engines and is usually referred to as the "hall of mirrors" effect
As I'm an old school gamer and software developer, I have never heard that term for the left over frame buffer remains. I've found an article calling it "Hall of mirrors effect" from 2006. Though what was mentioned there is not really correct. The article said that the game tries to render an image of something that is technically nothing. In reality to save fill rate on the GPU a lot of the older engines do not clear the frame buffer at all at the start of a new frame since "usually" everything is overwritten anyways with the next frame. So only the depth buffer is cleared. However if the rendered geometry has a "hole", so nothing would be rendered there, you simply see the old content of the framebuffer. Of course when you pan around, the location of that hole changes and that's why most of the time you see a copy of the geometry next to the hole since that geometry was drawn there the last frame(s). This effect often gets much more erratic when double buffering is used. Since there are essentially two framebuffers that are used in an alternating fashion, one buffer essentially contains the current displayed image and the other one is used to draw the next image. When rendering into the off-screen buffer has finished, the buffers are swapped. That way we can avoid screen tearing as we only present the monitor a complete rendered image. Though since we constantly flipping between those two buffers, if there's an area that was not overwritten in both buffers, you get a quick flicker between the contents of two frames, even when you do not move your camera. In addition to that, post processing effects which are usually applied to the whole frame buffer can cause those overbright glowing areas. A lot newer engines usually clear the framebuffer before they start rendering. Though this can still be disabled in most engines. On modern hardware the fill rate isn't that important anymore. Mobile devices are still the low end of the spectrum. Though even in this sector the hardware gets faster and faster.
Yes! Thank you, man. I love this speed run explained series of yours. They're very funny and your brand of deadpan humour is a light in darkness at times like this. Keep being awesome, man.
Tomatoanus: "Hope you're ok, the world is a bit crazy at the moment" Me: "Checks out". Also me, looks at video publication date, realizes it's two years old, and that the world is even crazier than back then. Yeah, there's that.
Just opened this while doing one of my online class calls and forgot my headphones weren’t connected. I now have to explain why everyone just heard “hey my names Tomatoanus” to my teacher
I quite enjoyed chapter eight, I thought it was just great. The entire speedrun was impressive and fun, and nearly inspires me to go on a run. Unfortunately for me the virus is out there, so instead I’ll stay inside and admire Faith’s hair.

found your channel by chance thru recommendations i love your commentary man, got me interested in a game i never played those quips and its straight toned delivery is funny as hell
Woah. The first speedrun video I haven't skipped through ironically. Honestly great work, every techincality is explained in great detail, the commentary is interesting and funny, and my oh my how did you manage to explain the storyline so well too?! I believe even the people who never heard of Mirrors Edge can follow through it and enjoy the explanation of speedrun! Thumbs up👍 Wish more speedruns be more like this one.
Damn impressive run, I completed Mirrors Edge about 4-5 years ago and have loved seeing it again in a speedrun. Also, your commentary is really awesome! You reminded me of the narrator from The Stanley Parable at the 'light reading elevator' section.
This is the first video I've seen from you and I love the explanation style and the delivery. A couple of times where the deadpan jokes build up I was properly cracking up.
hey man, just want to say I've never played the game but have watched a playthrough and your commentary was awesome I know a lot of work must have gone into fitting so much info into the video and you did a brilliant job of it with the addition of great humour
Hey, u have a muffin too, I'm bout to have consequence free love making with it. With my personal meat stick, I will fully penetrate the muffin. If muffins could groan with pleasure in the same manner an intellectually disabled dementia patient groans after solving an easy math equation, I'm sure it would groan with the same satisfied blank stare grin.
There's a glitch where if you plug it into a dryer plug it will go 20% faster. However it also has a 90% chance of exploding and ending the run so it's a risky strat
I love your style of commentating! Great video and keep it up man! I got exposed to covid the other day so now I've got 2 weeks to binge stuff, and your channel is top of the list right now
Such a great video bro! Mirror's Edge was the first game that i tried to complete as fast as possible. That time lays 11 years in the past but speed running in general is something that i am enjoying alot. The last Mirror's Edge run i have seen was the "glitchless" run from SGDQ2017. So glad to see mechanics like the hint climbs. It just boggles my mind that i've never tried this back then haha I can also join the other comments about the "new tech" pop-up. Such a great idea! There was alot of explanations but that's really helpful for everyone that has never played or seen a Mirror's Edge run. Thanks to you and Voetim :) Stay safe and home homies!
I bloody love this game. Highly flawed but very unique with a gorgeous atmosphere. The menu is bliss. This game is iconic to me. It has such a unique feel to it.
I suck at twitch games but absolutely love this one because it really did its own thing, something that's been pretty rare in the general avalanche of marketing department games since Looking Glass went bust in the last millennium.
I honestly didn´t think that i´d have this much fun listening to a speedrun explanation i love it xD You´ve earned a subscriber by the way, love how you meme in this and how you make jokes a lot of the times keep it up! xD
I played this daily during early summer of 2009, great and satisfying game. Kind of sad it didn't result in a lot more movement based games, I really thought it would bring about a revolution in 3D gaming, but alas - The money was all in mobile gaming 😂
... the absolutely flat delivery of the dialogue for chapter 8.. just made my freaking day. And the reference to it in chapter nine was the cherry on top. Thank you for that.
Your content is so good Mr. Anus, and your message about nothing being final is always amazing and welcomed. There have been some pretty shit days, but if I find a new Mr. Anus video it really helps get me out of a bad mindset :) love you man, can't wait until you hit 1m+ subs, you really deserve it!
@calypso The fascination with pushing the frontier of computer graphics is the reason we have video games at all. The industry would not have come up with this idea were it not for programmers being enthusiastic about graphics in the later half of the 20th century. Graphics were the initial driving force for video games. Everything else came later. All of the artsy hoo-haw about style, all of the "deep emotional narratives," were an addendum to the urge of programmers to simulate reality with limited tools. So yes, people get excited at the idea of pushing graphical technology a step further. And they should.
@calypso It's fine that games are made that aren't graphically cutting-edge. What I'm saying is that all video games exist thanks to the few that *do* push boundaries in graphics and/or simulation. Graphically advanced games are like pioneers, opening up the way for later games to exist that just want to tell a story or do some other thing without worrying about the graphics. We look forward to ever better graphics because we're excited about what new kinds of experiences can be created once our current limitations are overcome.

I feel like the way things are going right now has just made me appreciate these kinds of content creators even more.
You are doing great work tomatoanus, I hope you also have a above average day.
found your channel by chance thru recommendations
i love your commentary man, got me interested in a game i never played
those quips and its straight toned delivery is funny as hell
The Dropkick Murphys reference was hilarious
came here to say this, completely lost it
Woah. The first speedrun video I haven't skipped through ironically. Honestly great work, every techincality is explained in great detail, the commentary is interesting and funny, and my oh my how did you manage to explain the storyline so well too?! I believe even the people who never heard of Mirrors Edge can follow through it and enjoy the explanation of speedrun! Thumbs up👍 Wish more speedruns be more like this one.
Tomatoanus, AKA "the reason we're all quarantined"
My heart dropped when you stopped and asked how the viewers are doing
Tomatoanus,
I love your rhymes
As well as
I like to listen to Grimes.
Damn impressive run, I completed Mirrors Edge about 4-5 years ago and have loved seeing it again in a speedrun. Also, your commentary is really awesome!
You reminded me of the narrator from The Stanley Parable at the 'light reading elevator' section.
0:04 hey that’s what my mom calls me!
F
Tomatoanus: This is called a Wallboost
Me who has never played a Mirrors Edge game before: Of course a classic maneuver
15:05 The moment when Anus became the Narrator in The Stanley Parable.
This is the first video I've seen from you and I love the explanation style and the delivery. A couple of times where the deadpan jokes build up I was properly cracking up.
For such a packed run, that script was comedic perfection.
That was so informative! Speedruns are so fascinating to me. Ty for sharing the details to the run. I guess it was quite a lot of work.
Ch.8: The Time Tomato Makes The Audience Irate
hey man, just want to say I've never played the game but have watched a playthrough and your commentary was awesome I know a lot of work must have gone into fitting so much info into the video and you did a brilliant job of it with the addition of great humour
Im bout to eat a muffin, thank you for the entertainment.
I’m going to eat your muffin
@@fourskinman2463 The deed is done Foreskin Man! You shall not touch my sacred muffin.
Hey, u have a muffin too, I'm bout to have consequence free love making with it. With my personal meat stick, I will fully penetrate the muffin. If muffins could groan with pleasure in the same manner an intellectually disabled dementia patient groans after solving an easy math equation, I'm sure it would groan with the same satisfied blank stare grin.
"slides through a crawl way and spooks a rat" lmao
Voetiem: Speedruns mirror's edge
Me: Speedruns microwaved frozen food
There's a glitch where if you plug it into a dryer plug it will go 20% faster. However it also has a 90% chance of exploding and ending the run so it's a risky strat
*struggles to cook minute rice in a minute*
I love your style of commentating! Great video and keep it up man! I got exposed to covid the other day so now I've got 2 weeks to binge stuff, and your channel is top of the list right now
Stop asking questions about the run, he's sure that it's fine and *you don't need to worry about it*
"We just have to watch Faith get slammed between the legs by large poles."
Oh boy, it's my favorite!
"I hope you have an above average day"
Really loved that one
Such a great video bro!
Mirror's Edge was the first game that i tried to complete as fast as possible. That time lays 11 years in the past but speed running in general is something that i am enjoying alot. The last Mirror's Edge run i have seen was the "glitchless" run from SGDQ2017. So glad to see mechanics like the hint climbs. It just boggles my mind that i've never tried this back then haha
I can also join the other comments about the "new tech" pop-up. Such a great idea! There was alot of explanations but that's really helpful for everyone that has never played or seen a Mirror's Edge run. Thanks to you and Voetim :)
Stay safe and home homies!
I bloody love this game. Highly flawed but very unique with a gorgeous atmosphere. The menu is bliss.
This game is iconic to me. It has such a unique feel to it.
I suck at twitch games but absolutely love this one because it really did its own thing, something that's been pretty rare in the general avalanche of marketing department games since Looking Glass went bust in the last millennium.
Didn't notice the chapter eight gimmick until 26:02. Such smooth delivery; my hat's off to you.
26:39 Imagine an armless muppet Faith no-hand Naruto running like a god around the city
This commentary was golden and the jokes being casually thrown-in make it even better. Wonderful job!
Just wanted to say that as of the Medge 2020 tournament, the canal skip in Jackknife is now referred to as Cannoli Skip.
Absolutely fantastic commentary, really gives value to the speedrun and appreciating the game.
Cant wait for you to talk about a DOOM Eternal Speedrun. I have accidentally found stuff in that game, so people working for it are gonna be nuts.
I honestly didn´t think that i´d have this much fun listening to a speedrun explanation i love it xD
You´ve earned a subscriber by the way, love how you meme in this and how you make jokes a lot of the times keep it up! xD
I played this daily during early summer of 2009, great and satisfying game. Kind of sad it didn't result in a lot more movement based games, I really thought it would bring about a revolution in 3D gaming, but alas - The money was all in mobile gaming 😂
... the absolutely flat delivery of the dialogue for chapter 8.. just made my freaking day. And the reference to it in chapter nine was the cherry on top.
Thank you for that.
"Hi, I am Tomato Anus. Also known as the sleep paralysis demon of God."
Too far?
That Fool not far enough
How about "Hi, I'm tomatoanus, the reason your sleep paralysis demons can't stay asleep at night"?
Your content is so good Mr. Anus, and your message about nothing being final is always amazing and welcomed. There have been some pretty shit days, but if I find a new Mr. Anus video it really helps get me out of a bad mindset :) love you man, can't wait until you hit 1m+ subs, you really deserve it!
I feel like graphics really haven't improved much since 2009.
Yonder Bagel this game was really clever with the graphics. They’ve certainly gotten better, but this still looks great.
Games with a distinct art style age better though.
@calypso The fascination with pushing the frontier of computer graphics is the reason we have video games at all. The industry would not have come up with this idea were it not for programmers being enthusiastic about graphics in the later half of the 20th century. Graphics were the initial driving force for video games. Everything else came later.
All of the artsy hoo-haw about style, all of the "deep emotional narratives," were an addendum to the urge of programmers to simulate reality with limited tools.
So yes, people get excited at the idea of pushing graphical technology a step further. And they should.
@calypso It's fine that games are made that aren't graphically cutting-edge. What I'm saying is that all video games exist thanks to the few that *do* push boundaries in graphics and/or simulation.
Graphically advanced games are like pioneers, opening up the way for later games to exist that just want to tell a story or do some other thing without worrying about the graphics.
We look forward to ever better graphics because we're excited about what new kinds of experiences can be created once our current limitations are overcome.
The video is great! the little jokes and honesty and even care about the viewers understanding is super dope.
24:30 How long did it take you to write all these sick bars?
A Peruvian Gamer 😆😆😆
needed the mental health check-up that tomato does today. I've watched them many times and counted myself lucky that I didn't need to hear something like that, but now that I do, it matters a bunch more. thanks
