The Cursed History of Dead Space Speedruns

  • Dead Space Speedrunning has a tattered and rough past present and future. From countless cutscenes to impossibly difficult tricks and skips, dead space has truly gone through some crazy revolutionary changes throughout the years. This is the story of how it got to where it is today and why no one speedruns the game actively.

    Dead Space's speedruns somehow highlight the series theme of futulity in perhaps even more eldritch proportions than the brethren moons ever could, and that's metal as hell.
    The fact that the more runners learn, the worse the problem they sought to fix gets is so fitting for a series like Dead Space fr.

    What's really neat about speedrunning in general is that all it takes is 1 single previously unknown or rarely done glitch to break the whole scene for a game wide open
    Can happen almost any time and it's always fun to see people lose their minds wondering if it can be further utilized

    • @soupgirl1871
      @soupgirl1871 Рік тому +11

      Some allow things like that for various factors. For example, the downtime was extremely boring, so for both the viewer and speedrunner, it is better to allow deleting the Rig videos. Some other games also allow things to be done beforehand. If I remember correctly, Hitman 3 has an exploit you are allowed to do before you start the speedrun

    • @SeanCMonahan
      @SeanCMonahan 10 місяців тому +1

      The fact that the files being deleted are exclusively media (cutscene videos) I think makes it more palatable.
      Plus, it doesn't require any special patching tools. Just browse to the game files with Explorer, open the cutscene directory, and drag them all to the recycle bin.

    25:23 I don't know much about Dead Space's physics engine but I suspect the reason for higher FPS giving a bigger boost is actually because it moves the gun out of the wall in a single frame (most physics engines work this way). The less time a single frame takes, the faster the player gets moved. For example at 30 fps one frame takes 33ms and if it has to move the player back 1 metre then the player has a velocity of 1 metre per 33ms, whereas if the fps is 60 then one frame takes 16ms and the velocity will be doubled. Just my 2c, good video! 🙂

    To me this highlights why I personally prefer Glitchless speedruns, where it comes down to skill in playing the game, vs how well you can break it. They're just way more entertaining than watching a guy run into a wall, fly, run through the void, and not actually fight anything. I don't know if that's a popular opinion or not, but I have way more admiration for those that learn the game inside and out, where monsters spawn, the average drops ect, and turn the games strengths against it to come out on top.
