Hello!
This will show all the important changes/fixes for the original and the Redux version.
RNG for the original version:
- Space Lights is random.
- House of Portals is random.
- The sentences that the witch gives you is random.
- The zombie does still random spawn.
RNG for the Redux version:
- Space Lights is no longer random. Pattern: http://bit.ly/2uB19kJ
- House of Portals is still random.
- The sentences that the witch gives you is no longer random.
- The zombie does still random spawn.
Fixes/Changes for the Redux version:
- You can no longer clip through the floor.
- The note does not open faster (Space) if you stand a bit from it.
- You can no longer sense instantly for traps.
- There is an additional scene where Travis confronts his dad, this adds around 30 seconds over the original.
Overall this is all you need to know if you want to speedrun the game. Pick the Any% if you want to use glitches and other great methods. The Redux version does not have any glitches that has been found and is just a walking and solve run.
In the original space lights is random but isn't there a few combinations that it picks from? So it can be random from 4 or 5 different patterns (might be wrong but I seem to remember there was a few combos that it picked from, never completely random).
That's just right, that's actually what I meant.
It does have about 3-5 patterns, one of them is example from top to the buttom.
Ah right ok, was just making sure. Does the sentences the witch give you have any impact on your time?
Has that been timed? Cos i always thought that the scene was the same length and when she said a shorter sentence it lingered in silence for a second or two. Making it the same length.
It has been timed by me before, it does really make a good difference. Even if you get a long sentence, there is silence for 2 seconds. Actually for all sentences.
oh nice. I need to try and run this game again. But it was annoying me cos I cant seem to beat my current PB even tho I think I'm going way faster (I guess Witch RNG is part of that xD) but it mostly seems to be after HoP so meh, just shit to grind especially when you alrdy have 25 hours playtime.
That would be really nice!
Regarding the RNG, here is a great example of your run and my run:
Your time:
My time:
Even though it's only a few seconds different, it does really make a difference when it's Ethan Carter.
Thanks, never realised this made such a difference. Fuck the RNG in this game, never get 1st try spaceman anymore and that instantly loses time over my PB, then there is this RNG, then HoP and then the miner, which is the only good RNG I ever get, only died to him twice. Rip this run for me ;(
The RNG does really ruin a lot of things and that's just why I quit speedrunning Any%. It's just impossible to beat my own PB if I gets bad RNG in just one scene.
Give it a few shots or try the Redux category. Not that much RNG there! :D
That's tru lol. Might have a go at that or take on the gruelling task of doing 100%. I have 100% the game before, just have to make some notes and find an optimal route, would still be a long run tho xD
There is one other difference in the redux that I just noticed whilst doing level runs with a friend. The murder by the river (cant remember what the crime is called lol), there is an additional scene where Travis confronts his dad, this adds around 30 seconds over the original.
