I love how so much of outer wilds speedruns is using the game's mechanics over some exploits. There's only the vessel clip used here and i think it's awesome! Truly a game in a league of it's own.
@nnelg8139 it's still a part of the code of the game, even if it's unrealistic. Otherwise, the whole game would be an exploit because, as far as we know, white holes don't even exist in our universe.
@@nnelg8139it's something that they coded intentionally though. A dev had the idea "let's have the scout have some recoil when the hatchling is in the air". No one had the idea "let's let the hatchling clip through the vessel door if they're flying backwards fast enough during the warp to the eye", at least I doubt they did. I think what the original commenter is saying is that it's cool the game doesn't need to be 'broken' very much at all to find new speedrunning tactics
@@maruwapofilms815 to be fair I doubt the game was intended for ppl to speedrun it lol, though ngl the original comment isn't wrong It's quite cool that the devs did make a game where (most glitches) at least seen in this video don't save as much time as legit gameplay.
...What if speedrunning is itself a loop? You get to the Eye, start the song, get Big Banged, credits roll, and then... you're back at the campfire, Orbital Probe Cannon launch number 9,318,054, as if none of what you did actually happened?
I'm always surprised that you can beat the game without ever going to Giant's Deep. You'd think the devs would want to randomize the coordinates for each playthrough or something so that you always have to go to the probe tracking module Is there a category that's just Any% but requires you to go find the coordinates?
The game still runs all the physics in the solar system while you sleep, so how fast time goes is limited by your computer. Because they don’t want to give people unfair advantages based on their computer specs speedrunners don’t count that time
at about that time is when all the warp towers on ash twin are revealed, + the sand column that goes over the twin towers to get into the atp is near the correct position
Riebeck's face as you fly to him at mach speed, holding an ancient artifact, take a nap and then immediately jump into a black hole
::O

Insane how this is only a minute slower than the ship run.
scout

4:05
Imagine being Riebeck and seeing the hatchling swoop in to your camp at lightning speed then immediately fall asleep

I would classify scout boosting as an exploit, albeit one that's a natural consequence of the recall violating conservation of momentum.

@@Ninjaeule97 literally everything is part of the code of the game, including clipping out of bounds and such

Wow... The universe wasn't sure what you were doing
i'm more impressed by your damage tanking skills omg
this felt faster than the ship run to me.
true
Another insane run from Ptminsker
even the small details like throwing the scout at the ash project portal before going in are crazy...
this feels like you have it all calculated
Nah, it’s all luck of course

well that would be very boring
Can’t believe you’re still beating your own record to this day
Bro went so fast the Nomai are still alive
such a great run, ggs
New geyser skip is slashing time
Incredible stuff! You never fail to amaze, and this game never fails to disappoint 💚
this is SICK
I tell you, I 100% believe you could get sub-8:20. If you did everything but the start perfect, you can certainly do it again.

closest is 100%, so no, not really
Mate, that was fucking sick!
Ggz
of course this is the speedrun so it doesnt matter but it still makes me a little sad that the prisoner and nomai aren't' in the campfire
You might prefer the "All Friends" category then?
@@quantheory haha yeah
How come sleeping doesn't count towards time?

@@GGrimmmm ty for the info!
@@GGrimmmm so that's why my frame rate dropped to 20 while sleeping! Interesting, and makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
Now do suitless and shipless
imagine if they added a cooldown to the time it takes the scout to combe back
...That would be s l o w e r...
obliterated the old record!
wtf 😳
i dont understand why you wait 14 min
at about that time is when all the warp towers on ash twin are revealed, + the sand column that goes over the twin towers to get into the atp is near the correct position
