01:40 Stopping Manderley's briefing by just casually bursting into his office and hurling a throwing knife into his chest has to be one of my favourite speedrunner moments.
Yeah, I was wondering what he's gonna say after whole mission was skipped, slowed video to 0.25 just before this scene.... knife to the chest. Ok, keep your secrets
The Versalife part always gets me "Mr. Page we must evacuate, there's been an explosion." "Wait what, how?" "A ex UNATCO agent moving at lightning fast speed seems to have broken in and just willed it into existence." "Oh man... see this is why I NEED to become a transhuman God, we're the only thing that stands between the world and whoever that ex UNATCO agent is." "It's J.C Denton." "Ah shit."
I like to think Walton Simons is still hanging out in the lab under the sea, just wondering when JC is going to show up, what he'll eat later, why are the lights suddenly going out ...
When I played through it I avoided Simons by just running past him (not glitching through the walls obviously) in the undersea labs, and he shows back up at the surface of Area 51. So I imagine he's frantically following JC and by the time he catches up the whole internet is already frying itself and everything.
By design -- a large chunk of knowing what does what, and what you can do before talking to characters, nets in completely-different dialogue chains and consequences. I would argue that it's still the first (and only?) time that a game did reactivity to this kind of degree.
In order to keep his lightning fast speed agent work at terminal velocity, JC didn't spare time to inform Jock about the bomb. So, don't say sacrifices weren't made in this speedrun...
@@guidedexplosiveprojectileg9943 You can go through it even faster. Just not if you want to enjoy every interaction. That's the fun part... there are many different ways to go through the whole thing.
Favourite bit was the mission to 'rescue' Tiffany Savage. While Jock is telling you to try and make a silent approach, you're on the roof throwing a LAM into the cell to blow up Tiffany
I thought I was familiar with most speedrun tricks for this game, but I have no idea what you've done to skip the Vandenberg section. Guess there's always more to learn.
The exit level trigger for the Vandenberg level is floating in mid-air and still active. If you touch it or a bullet tracer from the assault rifle hits it the cutscene will play as if you had finished the level and it will take you to the gas station. I skilled rifles to advanced, aimed at the right spot and hoped one of the 30 bullet tracers would hit the trigger. Pretty crazy that the developers forgot to deactivate this trigger.
Eating chocolate, smoking cigarettes, dying to loot your own corpse, phasing through walls/doors, jumping ridiculously high, etc. Funny speed run indeed.
First I go into the game options twice to activate superjump. Then I try to reach for the map transport trigger for the Hangar map, which bleeds a bit out of the floating hallway’s corner and can be reached from outside. While in the air I did a couple of save+load to get into the map transporter as quick as possible. I’m glad you liked the run ^^
idk if you're talking about the Vandenburg section, but there's a trigger that starts the end sequence. By precisely shooting at it, it starts the sequence.
BOB PAGE: ...They loved their little boy, JC, and that's why they're dead. I'm sending up the man who did the job. JC: *Nods to the gentlemen in the elevator, boards, presses his floor.*
It is a combination of transferring the inventory to the corpse, reviving JC with save and load, leaving the map without any items, which for some reason gives back some of the items you had previously and finally looting the corpse. This way we can quickly duplicate augmentation upgrade canisters, biocells, medkits, candy bars, (gep gun) ammo and cigarettes. Note that saving and loading to revive JC only works because the user.ini file was edited to get additional save and load keys.
Abhranil Chattopadhyay I used Kentie’s DirectX 10 renderer and Kentie’s launcher from kentie.net. Additionally the user.ini file was edited for more save and load keys, basically binding SaveGame and LoadGame commands to a key. No other mods.
Wow! That was amazing. How does palying with the menus make the jumps so high and how does chucking grenades at your feet allow for clipping? And how on earth did you find out these things!!! :-o
Glad you liked the run :D I didn't find any of this, some of the tricks go back to the earliest 2004 and 2007 segmented runs, other things were found in the same year this run was done (2018). Some augmentations become stronger when you open the game options menu and go back in the game, no idea why but for the leg augmentations it allows higher jumps and less fall damage. Grenade clipping works by creating a platform for JC to stand on (the grenade), then the platform rotates (a random direction), which can rotate JC through doors.
I played 33 hours of this game, but it felt like I had only played for 5 or 6 hours. The game is so well designed, and I had so much fun that time flew by, it felt like a speedrun for me.
Even if the video's 1920x1080p, you can still force the VP09 codec on TH-cam, which looks better and takes less data, by rendering your video in 1440p and then uploading it. It'll keep the video from fragmenting like you see a lot in this. Also, good job.
Deus Ex, the game where you skip whole missions or only play 0.1% of its content and still needs HALF AN HOUR to finish it i took like 30-40 HOURS for my very first playthrough ...for a SINGLE PLAYER GAME story, musik etc are also 10/10 *a MASTERPIECE*

Unfortunately Anna wasn’t impressed that I didn’t locate the barrel of ambrosia in Battery Park.
I did not realise how much of this game can be skipped by just knowing all the codes.
Shoulda used like a scramble code system
much like system shock 2, you can just skip the first part medbay by just knowing a door code
