Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. I would like to address how we will be moving forward with the next gen consoles arriving very soon.

first things first we are NOT accepting runs from next gen right away.

we do not know how the game will be running, so we need some time to figure out how it is effected and make additional adjustments to the board if necessary.

If you are getting a next gen console please post any findings in the discord or make a post at sr.c. You may DM/Tag me or MattRPD (sr.c or discord) in any findings you feel important so the mods can see to help make the boards fair.

I'll be making a next gen channel were everyone can talk and post all things next gen in discord.

Happy Running everyone!

Hi everyone!

after a lot of research and testing i would like to give a update to what we have found.

first things first both xbox series and ps5 have the game capped at 60fps

Parts where the game needs time to load on past gen, seem to not be the case anymore, least from what we have experienced or heard. for example: the donut shop door when you exit from and the last door at the start of nemmy 4, they loaded instantly. We pause at these moments anyway so this does not save or loss any time, but it's nice to have now.

At the very end when you need to shoot Nikolai, on ps4/xbone there is a delay for when you can fire your gun, this is not the case for Ps5/Series. The shot is almost instant like it is on PC This seems to be the biggest time save.

HOWEVER after the horde/tower defense battle with Carlos it seems that you still need to do a quick pause to get the cutscene to happen quickly.

comparing it seems that the Series X loads faster, making it the best console to speedrun compared to the ps5. faster loads means less time bleed and the last shot is instant like it is on PC granted this is not by much though.

with all this information we have decided that there is not enough of a difference to split the categories up. we are keeping ALL the consoles together on one board.

Now i have heard that game companies have been providing updates giving them a next gen boost.. if this happens to Re3 then we will revisit this and maybe split the boards up then. Especially if they become 120 fps.

Thank you to those who helped out with all of this and if you still find any more information please let us know. Also as of now we are accepting next gens runs, i look forward to seeing them Pbs! :slight_smile:
