There was something disturbingly familiar about the letter before me. The handwriting was all pretty curves. "You're in a speedrun, Max" The truth was a blazing green chasm in my head. Running past my enemies, rolling to my destinations, using glitches to reach impossible speeds and heights. I was in a speedrun. Funny as hell, It was the most horrible thing I could think of.
You cant save him, even if you kill the guy who usually kills him, security guy just dies no matter nobody shots him, even blood falls on floor i think. This happens because it is a scripted death, he doesn't actually die from shotgun, i remember there were situations where guy with shotgun missed him, bullet hit the wall on right side, and he still died
31:38 I love that scene where the two blonde spooks kill that technician and go "I think he's dead already". They shoot forward for about fifteen seconds and never change their aim to account for the victim being dead and not standing up anymore. They're even aiming above their eye level. They've got these angry looks on their faces while they unload full mags in to thin air. Looks ridiculous.
There was something disturbingly familiar about the letter in front of me. The handwriting was all pretty curves. "You're in a UA-cam video Max." The truth was an icy green chill in my brain. Constant inane babble, screams of rage when I die and return that aren't from me, constant freezes in time while the video buffers. I was in a UA-cam video. Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.
There was something disturbingly familiar about the comment in front of me. The text was all pretty arial font. "You're in a UA-cam comments section, Max." The truth was an icy green chill in my brain. Arguments spawning from a single word, unprovoked outbursts of profanity laced with childlike spelling of racist and homophobic slurs. I was in a UA-cam comments section. Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.
Of all the speedruns I have seen, I feel like this is the one that requires the most knowledge of the game to be accomplished. Awesome run dude, it's unfortunate you didn't do one for Max Payne 2, that would have been awesome to see.
Oh God, this video brought back great memories. Hearing the voice of Max Payne and the whole audio of the game brought tears in my eyes. Such a great, great game.
Hey, I wanted to tell you that I truly thank you for everything you've done for Max Payne speedrunning. You certainly inspired me to push boundaries while speedrunning it. I'd love to talk with you if you're active on here!
cut ridd3r some slack. people griping about bugs and glitches should really look up summoningsalt’s videos...he documents the history of certain games’ speedruns and the subsequent speedrunners who defined the history of those games online. people don’t understand I think how difficult it is to perfect glitches and bugs within a game to perform them as perfectly as ridd3r or many other speedrunners do. glitches and warps are accepted for most games and given their own category in speedruns, so it’s not cheating by any speedrunning standard either. what ridd3r did is pretty fucking cool and I’m sure took hours of gameplay...Thanks for sharing this with us. I couldn’t sleep and wanted to rewatch gameplay of one of my favorite childhood games and I got to see this amazing spectacle because of it. Kudos to you and all the work you put into it
he's cheating. He's using an invincibility bug and calling this a ''legit run''. Just like every single speedrunner ever. I would respect his cheating if at least he put it in the title.
@RICO 22:45 and I suppose this was programmed into the game as well? I'm not gonna spend an hour trying to pick every single thing that I can identify to prove to a random internet person that he's cheating. When the truth is that you're not here to be convinced, you're just here to narrow mindledly say that ANY bug abuse in a speedrun is not cheating. ''it's not a bug, it's a trick'' k buddy.
@@davideiannace7636 and your comment is 100% useless, you contributed with absolutely nothing to this discussion. Are you butthurt about being called out or something?
Full Focus That's the jumping bug. When you on a 2-Hand Weapon, Switch to 1-Hand Weapon and press jump. If you on 1-Hand Weapon, just switch to 2-Hand Weapon and jump.
Because of the skip at 39:18 the guards are still alive. Normally you would kill them but for whatever reason they somehow end up walking into the laser area which kills them. Fun fact: I actually discovered this trick by accident around 12 years ago after holding W down after closing the comic strip. I eventually stumbled upon a speedrun of this game and noticed Ridd3r didn't use it in his previous run so I told him about it to save him time! :)
in train cutscene he fell - because tre train pushed him, smth like that. So, that was enough damage for max to die. But you can't die in a cutscene, so we have the walking dead, and enemies think that you are already dead
By nullifying the greatness of the story, I now grant you the "Genious" title! Jokes aside, this is really genious. Like if i read the whole Harry Potter franchise in an hour or two. "...then he kills Voldemort, then he arises and again..."
@1Ridd3r Wonderful. I admire your runs, it's amazing what you squeezed out of this game. i thought this game was done with your last run, but you couldn't let it go ;) I will enjoy the commentary ones it has been posted. cheers and keep being that awesome!
Ah I think it was probably max payne 2, I heard the speedrunner Saintmillion talk about it during SGDQ earlier. I guess maybe the same mechanic doesn't apply in the first game.
Which Max Payne game is better? Max Payne 1 or Max Payne 2, I prefer Max Payne 1. Great job on the run man, I'm proud of ya. I will never do such a great run like you. But It's nuthin'.
Played this so much back when I was coming out of high school/starting college. Don't know how I could get so much done and still play hundreds of hours. Good times.
@zackyee1 No it's not a TAS, this run specifically took me about 130-150 hours. Obviously I've done other runs etc. and spent more time than that on this game.
Sorry I'm not a speedrunner, so I'm not sure about terms like "pro2" and "pro3" but anyway I was referring to the cutscene that appears at 18:13. A jump into the living room will let you skip the trigger for that cutscene, so it doesn't even appear. But it'll be slower than your roll + save glitch. Just thought you might want to know...
OOOH now it makes sense! BTW, did you use a macro for super jump? How did you get it so consistent? Because my macro only works maybe 30% of the time at 60 fps.
Can someone explain to me why every speedrunner looks down at the ground majority of the games? Is your aimbot to powerful that it wont show unless you aim it at the ground, until the right moment? What is the benefit? Aimbot is the only thing I can think of. so your mouse doesnt race all over the place and you wont get caught. Or is there some secret to it that makes you run faster? The fuck is that?
Rolling is significantly quicker for pro2 & pro3, I've tested it several times. You can skip several cutscenes in pro1, but super jumping skips all but one and saves a couple of seconds on the stairs. Unless you're saying you can skip that cutscene?
Thanks. I don't have any Speedrun projects at the moment to be honest. I did float the idea of a team segmented run (as this run can now be beaten with the start of level save glitch) ages ago when I completed the RTA, but there wasn't any interest.

Ah, I see, my mistake... ^^;
+Will Flock And I read it in Max's voice :D
Wait. At Rosco street station you can save the security guy who opens the door?!
My entire life has been nothing but lies.
Hakeem Lawus HUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUA
Exactly. If each one of us would have saved the security guy this would be a better world.
Mind blown!!!!
If you shoot the securityguard yourself just in time, the crooks cant do it
You cant save him, even if you kill the guy who usually kills him, security guy just dies no matter nobody shots him, even blood falls on floor i think.

This speedrun just turned my entire childhood upside down. Insanely impressive.

Yeah:)))

One of the most impressive speed runs I've ever seen.
It's scripted

This is incredible, one of the best speedruns of all time.
Incredible run! So much optimization it's like poetry. :) keep it up!
dude, you're awesome! cant imagine this game is possible to complete in 25 mins even 42. fukken came! 1st and 5th levels are just epic

I don't remember enemies having this stormtrooper-worthy aim XD
Woooow,ridd3r,men it was really good!!!
Dat Lupino fight...
great stuff i never knew the game had so many glitches
how do you do to not get attacked by them?
When you spam bullet time, the bullets that are already currently in the air won't hit you if I recall correctly.
Don't think that's true. If I don't get attacked it's because I skipped their trigger zones. It's all explained in tlinks in the description.
Ah I think it was probably max payne 2, I heard the speedrunner Saintmillion talk about it during SGDQ earlier. I guess maybe the same mechanic doesn't apply in the first game.
Fucking God Gamer. Massive Respect

Perfect speedrun, thanks a lot
Great! I really enjoyed watching this video
You saved the door opener guy!

Amazing speedrun man
Really impressive stuff. Great job!
Its looks like matrix not max payne. :)

Which Max Payne game is better? Max Payne 1 or Max Payne 2, I prefer Max Payne 1. Great job on the run man, I'm proud of ya. I will never do such a great run like you. But It's nuthin'.
Max Payne 1 is the best. None of the sequels compare to the original.
Everything is great. I really love the whole story. Surely, the first is the best, but the third turned out to be very very close. Genious storylines.
Max Payne 1 = Better Story and Atmosphere > Max Payne 2 = More satisfying Gameplay
Played this so much back when I was coming out of high school/starting college. Don't know how I could get so much done and still play hundreds of hours. Good times.

A fantastic game, revolutionary.

Why arent the enemies attacking him
They've not been triggered due to the sequence breaking.
When Max trained legs a lot in gim 39:11
cant believe this game is already 17 years old... the game had mind blowing graphics for 2001 game.
lol the ai thinks max is a ghost.....
You are also playing in cutscenes
and I thought I could speed run this game legit!
I SAW THIS ON GUINESS WORLD RECORDS GAMER'S EDITION 2011!!! THATS WAT BROUGHT ME HERE!
Holy fuck that was badass! 👏🏼
Just forget about it
i like the final overkill
This video makes me forget that you can bulletdodge in this game. GJ m8 :)
