Video Production CoD4 is almost 19 years old and we're still speedrunning it.

0 Upvotes

SR Speedrun has been going since 2017 and I finally put together a short trailer showing what it looks like now.

  • Stock CoD4 movement, 190 and 210 speed with strafing
  • CS Bhop and Surf
  • Quake 3, both CPM and VQ3, also with rocket and plasma guns
  • Portal, with an actual portal gun

Getting all of this to work inside CoD4 took years of work. Every movement is available on every map, so you can play CS on a CoD4 map or even on a Q3 map.

None of them are a straight copy of the original games either, they're all tweaked to keep that CoD4 feel. FPS switching and bouncing work in every movement type too, so a big part of it is learning how to use them to turn each physics to your advantage.

Since 2017 we've had more than 9K registered players, 164K+ records set on the leaderboards and over 900 maps.

The whole project is open source: https://github.com/Iswenzz

See the submission notes on TASVideos for details

I finished a TAS of OpenRCT2 following the same rules as this RTA category. It completes all 21 original RCT1 base game scenarios to unlock Mega Park in just under 5 minutes, using TAS level gameplay in combination with a 128x internal "hyperspeed" speedup mode.

Personal Best Flawless Italian Game Opening Lines Speedrun • 8:10

Thumbnail youtu.be
0 Upvotes

Hello speedrun community. i began playing chess this summer, to mitigate some rumination issues i've been having. My short term memory is really, really shot from brain damage along with the malaise of being a burnout xennial. so i take a lot of pride in learning all 22 lines of the Italian Game opening, and then playing them without making a mistake (which would make the square i moved to red instead of lime green).

i hope that your community will make an exception to a chess speedrun, as, reaching this goal has meant a lot to me; but i don't know anyone who plays chess, so i have nobody to share this W with.

GL on your runs this weekend. and thanks for having me, it means a lot.

marked NSFW because there's a bit of profanity in the video

Can AI be used to re create Speedrun.com, like it's already used to re create videogames?

0 Upvotes

Like watching a news site that removes the cookie paywall, so to say

Technically, code can be extracted from videogames to re create them and since it's a new game it doesn't infringe copyright

Since people don't like the new changes to terms and services, I was wondering if we have the power to just create a knock-off site, which also auto submits the youtube and twitch links from SRC, they'd have no choice but to do things right or get replaced

In the end, the new site would just look at SRC and add the new submitted links, but it would spare us from the terms and services. Additionally it would register new links that the users submit to the new site

this beat a console wr! until the board is filled, it will remain just a pb.

we need runners! anyone who is down please give the recomp a try. whether its ILs, battle race, any%, whatever, we need submissions :) here is the board on src, and there’s a board for the snowboard kids 2 recomp as well.

mozu, another incredibly talented runner, has also put down some great runs and i highly recommend you keep an eye out for them. they are responsible for pretty much every breakthrough in our time trial categories on original hardware in the current era. below are some of their recent submissions for the recomp:
- Copper Pass NG+: 33:38
- All Races NG+: 52:27

there’s discussion in the SBK discord all the time as well if you wanna help out or get in on the fun-running good times.
