"I wanted to make another run of God of War in better video quality, so I did a few offline recordings this morning. And I got this time.
Sub 1:25! It seems the new optimizations like upgrading stuff during loading times and getting BoA lv. 2 paid off. There are also no really major mistakes here, so I'm happy with this run.
My splits for the run are:
Aegean Sea - 5:02 (+17.7) Medusa - 9:41 (+16.3) Desert - 19:05 (-8.5) Temple - 22:51 (-1:00) CoA start - 27:52 (-53.3) Ladder - 32:41 (-59.0) Trident - 37:53 (-1:28) Balls of Fire - 43:40 (-1:10) Guardian - 46:56 (-1:04) AoH - 49:33 (-1:36) CoM - 54:54 (-1:55) River Styx - 1:03:57 (-2:07) Ares - 1:13:44 (-4:04) New GoW - 1:24:57 (-4:49)"
AetherSX2, a PS2 emulator for Android devices, is now allowed in speedruns. Runs made with it will be included in the PS2 Emulator categories. Similar to other emulators, to have your run accepted you will need to show the emulator's settings after the run is finished.
