- Every week, IGN invites the creators of the biggest and best video games to watch -- often in horror -- as the world's top players break their creations and finish their games at record speed. This is Devs React to Speedruns.
It takes most players between 12 and 35 hours to beat Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Watch as Eidos Montreal's Jason Dozois (Narrative Lead) and Matthew Thomas Labelle (Lead Dev QA) give their hilarious thoughts on what they think of speedrunner blancw's incredible run through their game.

This series will single handedly save the channel
@George Gobin I think it's about IGN channel not the game series
@George Gobin George you're a dumb dumb😎

I think he meant the “Developers react to x min speedrun” series
@@jaimeduavit8558 he's probably not gonna understand your explanation either. Repeat it with cave man lingo and he'll get it.
you mean all of IGN.
It's nowhere near on par with "Worth it" saving buzzfeed since that one channel alone carries the entirety of buzzfeed on their backs.
But this is nice.
Me:(glitches through map)"oh, the game glitched. Better restart."
Speedrunner:"Its free realestate"
this joke killed me lol

@@DANIELMIHAI24 then how u type?
@ヅ hahaha I know right 😂 those people weird
@ヅ you just don’t understand them. R/woosh on you
It’s funny how the Dev’s point out things that we would’ve thought like “ that shipping container is right on time” or “there’s always a couple birds waiting for you to traverse a ledge” it’s great to see that they can laugh at their work
Nitr0 although in this case both of these guys weren’t responsible for scripting in levels (such as birds, lol) so they’re making fun of their coworkers’ work, not specifically theirs if that makes sense.
Kathulhu ok boomer
Nitr0 that doesn’t make any sense in this context but okay. Just sharing some knowledge my dude.
Kathulhu he’s probably just a kid trying to be cool on the internet
@@depthshade837 ok boomer
The devs poking fun on their own game was great
*at
Would have been if they mentioned the speedrun and not how shitty their scripting was
@@DamTheKid What are you talking about? They discuss what's happening in the run and what the speedrunner is doing numerous times. Did you even watch the video?
because they are scrippted
Lol how they keep asking how tf Jonah keeps up with Lara
I really hope the " Devs react to speedruns " series keeps going, these are amazing. :)
I've been often interested myself how would developers themselves react to using glitches like those in the video to win. They don't seem to be surprised anymore. I think most video game developers these days realize that gamers have tendency to experiment and figure out bizzare bugs just to make the game more fun in some way.
@@rico-fs1cr Theres still stuff that can catch them off guard and be like " How tf did they do that? " and those are the best moments
@@BoosterTheRooster1 That's not what I'm talking about. I mean the basic fact that they acknowledge this.
@@rico-fs1cr cool.
Especially its really helpful for some developers to see HOW broken some games really are...*wink at bethesda
beating the entire game without spoiling the plot is amazing
"Shes going to a coastline, trying to get to a dig site that she hasn't heard about"
To find an object she doesn't know
Ok?
Most fascinating thing to be is that I completed this game twice and never ran into a single bug or glitch.
Most of these glitches can only be triggered with high fps and/or specific graphic settings such as version of directx. That's why speedrunners play it on PC. They can tweak the graphic settings or lower them to achieve the highest framerate. We don't get these glitches because we like playing games with the best graphic settings and normal fps 😁
@@argop4518 Not sure you saw it, but the speedrunner is playing at 60 fps (top left of the gameplay screen).
@@gidedin I saw that. You can set the fps counter to only show max 60 fps even when your actual fps is higher. I mean, look at that graphic. If that's not the case, 60 fps would still help to cancel some checkpoint triggers. I personally have experienced many games that are originally designed for consoles with 30 fps, having collision glitch when played on PC with 60 fps.
@MrWereverforever I second that. Shadow could've been much better if Crystal Dynamics was still on the project. But they were busy developing new Avengers game.
Only glitch I've had is in the eagle trial( got to second level, was about to jump off, got hit with one of the arms-didnt fall off didnt die,but no longer had the ability to move her in anyway
These devs actually know what's going on in the speedrun. This is amazing.
Ikr that's something I learned after watching all dev reactions so far
Usually QA testers pick up stuff like this, just in places that players would usually go. So it's easier for them to recognize what's happening when the game breaks bc they've probably already had to fix bugs like this.
Whenever you play a game and experience a bug and think "wow, how did they miss this?", they likely didn't. QA logged it and it was determined to be not high priority enough / game ship date was too soon to fix.
@@GoScience123 I do realize all of that it's just the other Dev react videos they sit there and are like "what the hell is going on" and they all have no idea what's happening and are just amazed at the speedrunners these devs specifically are able to sit here and explain what is going on in the video and this one by far is much better than the other Dev reacts because of it
@@RyanDavis-nr2gl From what they said it seemed like one of them has watched it before

@@marvinmuller8913 imo speedrunners should be invited to do beta testing on games, this way you find the most bugs in your game.
@@Braindizruptor That's basically was QA does, its just that you don't tend to find the top tier speedrunners in studios.

😂 "No eels were hurt in the making of this game, btw." "Correct."

But is was. When she making knife from the plane
At the end of the second Ratchet and Clank game there is a message that says. "No sheep where harmed in the making of this game. Well except for that one, but he had it coming!"
Best dev reaction ever. Half of these videos consist of devs justifying glitches and bugs while beating themselves up. But these guys are just having fun.
I doubt any developer walking away from a speed run thinking we need to fix all of those. Many speedrun exploit bugs that player most player wouldn’t run into unless they intended it. So if it doesn’t affect player experience, no point in fixing.
@@MichikoHoshi watching the crash bandicoot run, the devs intentionally added back in the bugs for higher end gameplay
@
Trevor Olague and you actually believe they were having fun? it's pretty obvious that they were mad at the guy for skipping a lot of the stuff they personally worked on, thats why they were being sassy about it not because they were having fun.
those are not honest laughs
Well yeah this game is one big joke.
reminds me of the Rare devs playing through conkers bad furday where they are takin the piss out of everything insulting other Rare teams and showing off glitches

@@shredderorokusaki3013 go beg for views elsewhere
These speed runs are honestly love letters to the devs. The time and passion invested into learning something like this...I love seeing devs excited about this type of thing. Being able to crack jokes and enjoy it is the right attitude imo.
i bet the devs are patching all the glitches after watching this lol
I don't think so - these are provoked glitches no player would run into by accident. Also they are not game breaking, so there is no _need_ to fix them ^^
Would be a waste of developer money and time to do so. The games been out for 2 years at the release of the video
Speed runners and devs have a special relationship, to find these glitches communities have played this game several if not hundreds of times to find these glitches, it's more or less an excepted fact that players will search every exploit there is to set a record
What a dumb statement lol, no they’re not smartass haha
@@chancegreyfur8794 people need to understand its impossible to find it out by yourself. they were hinted bh the devs before making the final videos. the commentary they doing is totally scripted
The XP when the kid falls was a hilarious thing. Love this vid
that's a classic situation where rewarding the player is not always the best thing to do.
"Originally the plane was underwater, but nobody saw it"
Wish they would release a stand alone Tomb Raider game based on this issue. No story. Open world. Full of hard AF secrets and puzzles. No hand holding.
Sounds like the classic tomb raider games.
@@OfficialSnyd I still remember being stuck and going in circles on the tomb raider anniversary game puzzles.
Remember when you would get stuck in games. Now if you're expected to think for more than 5 seconds it's apparently "bad game development".
I really miss the hard puzzles that took days to figure
I'm sick of open world games. Keep linear.
It may have been a speed run, but the amout of time it took him to get this route down-pat, and practice it a few times, I'd like to know how long _that_ took. This isn't as easy as it looks.. not even close. Great job. The devs should get this guy on as a tester.. seriously.
it was most likely collaborative. lots of speedrunners share strats and routes.
There would've been a bunch of practice leading up to doing full runs, but I can tell you the "20" in the very top-right means this was their 20th attempt at a run of the whole game. It's a feature the timer has.
Congrats you just described all speedruns
Speedruns generally take the entire speedrunning community the entire age of the game to reach their current point. There is a _lot_ of work that goes into picking apart a game, and any one speedrunner is not likely to be responsible for uncovering all of the exploits used, or even really _any_ of them.
It was the work of the community, not just this speedrunner alone.
I love how much they critique their own game, so genuine devs
This speedrun commentary thing is the first thing in a long time that's worth watching on your channel.
they destroyed that whole webpage. still dont know why lol

"What ever happened to Brendan Frasier" THIS DEV ASKING THE REAL QUESTIONS
27:46 Brendan Fraser plays Robotman in DC's Doom Patrol. It's great. Also, he's been free of the 50k a month Alimony since last year. Just thought anyone who doesn't know would like to know.
That's great news! :D
I actually really really miss Brandon, childhood icon for me
thank you !
I love how they make fun of some of the stuff they made. Not taking themselves too seriously.
I love how they are just having a blast watching this, not upset, no aggression, just laughing at how this guy did/found it all
Exactly. All the other reactions are annoying because they spend the whole time justifying everything
@@trevor3013 what
Having played this game and struggled heavily with the combat/stealth sections, watching this amazing speedrunner just blaze through them with such grace and ease is making me so impressed that I'm mad. Truly amazing stuff.
“You’re not gonna make it”
“He gone”
To answer the question about the Airwalk at 20:49 you know you have the glitch activated when you see Lara holding the grapple hook. On the failed attempts, she isn't holding it, but on the successful attempt, she has it in her hand.
Also, to activate the glitch, you must grapple a ledge on the SAME FRAME you land from a jump.
@DeltroxTv I don't know EXACTLY what the game thinks is happening, but it does seem like it thinks you are definitely walking on the floor. If you listen during the Airwalk, it sounds like Lara is walking on whatever she activated the glitch on, so in most cases for this run, it would be grass, so listen for the grass sounds while she's running through the air.
Another example, which I don't think is shown in this run, but in Rise of the Tomb Raider, we use the same glitch. At one point, we activate the glitch standing on wooden planks, and when she is running though the air, you can hear the creaking of the wooden planks.
Yeah probably something along the lines of, the ledge grapple makes your 'box' stay in place, but your state changes/glitches (ie walking) so now the systems use the 'box' as a reference (eg sound and physics) for the glitched state.
Literally my favourite thing about speedruns is seeing a game ripped to shreds with glitches like that, especially when it's not at all obvious how they work!
IGN I just want you to know, I love this series. Whoever idea it was, it was great. If it was a team's idea, great team effort.
Nice seeing how wholesome and friendly the Devs are.
Gonna finally play this game series.
5:36 Dev laugh
Also dev: next update, we will patch this bug
Lol reminds me of when The Outer Worlds developers reacted to a 12 minute speedrun.
Developers reacting to speedruns should be a new series if it isn't already !
It is. They also did Crash Bandicoot and Control.
It is a series.
Double fine also did this way before with psychonauts
The amount of thumbs up this has makes it clear IGN should clearly brand this series so people know it's a thing and not a one off video.
Otherworlds was hilarious "Wow he can just jump over the fence? " "oh yeah I did that in early testing, I just didn't mention it"
I love this series. Finally something from IGN that I actually enjoy.
I second this! The reboot series is great! Love the mechanics and the new game really improved the gun/stealth play for the better!
Third this, great series, please IGN keep it up

@@kwombok and 2nd now 🙂
Best one yet! Really loved this... Thank you for making this happen, IGN!
Watching a speedrun is always so calming to me. Just someone breaking the boundaries and breaking the game. :3
I really don’t like how you show the best reaction points at the start. It ruins the surprises. I always skip it.
Me too, I always skip it :D
Indeed, this seems like particularly American thing to do I think. It also happens in (film)trailers and even TV series nowadays do a shitty action/drama bit then go "10 hours earlier..." and it's the most annoying thing.
That's not them. That's on the speedrun video. They kinda have to have that there.
DerekHartley What are you talking about? Lol
nah show me ALL of the best parts right away ign.
The flood level through the town with all the destruction was so beautifully designed. They created an amazing level there. very immersive.

@@chachthagoat1629 YES!
Just a little insight into "what happened to Brendan Fraser"!?
He is actually currently voicing Cliff Steele/Robotman and portrays him pre-accident as a guest star in Titans, and reprises the roles as a series regular in Doom Patrol.
please keep this series going on
this is one of the best in the series, commentaries are gold
i find it really nice cause i suddently started searching on youtube, speedrun react, i watched most of the videos they were, and really loved the psychonauts one, and then ign started uploading these, great.
Never was a fan of speedruns, but with dev commentary it does work even for me :D Keep it up!
The most amazing thing about all of these speedruns and testament to the devs I guess, is that the game still functions despite being broken at every opportunity by the speed runner.
"Whatever happened to Brendan Fraser?"
His ex-wife happened to him. And the US legal system.
