hey!! nice trick at 2:30

[Redeagle5555]

No damage!

All what I shall say (Thanks for posting this one)

Having watched a few of these Siren2 vids of yours I think I could quite get into this game.

Not the speed running aspect, that has never been my thing.

Forgive my ignorance but what is the deal whrn the characters move but their legs seem to remain stationery

[AKheon]

Ah, mr. Insain. Haven't seen you around these (Siren) corners.

It's a great game, even if a bit unfair to the player on hardest difficulties.

The characters' feet not moving is because of a special technique which involves tapping circle very fast. Moving speed increases about 8%, not much, but its essential in a speedrun.

[addaminsain]

Good day MrAKheon.

What can I say, just broadening my horizons a little and looking for an alternate game to get into. This looks about my pace.

LOL at "about 8%" I know from seeing you Gow work that you will have measured and timed that to arive at that "approximation"

Tell me, my good man, did you ever play the game Manhunt?

[AKheon]

The estimation was less scientific than you'd think, not to mention the trick works slightly differently with each character. Some characters' speed slows down instead of quickens!

Another thing to consider for Siren 2's case is that you have an extremely good FAQ to use if need arises... *blatant self-advertisement*

I've seen a couple of Manhunt speedruns and once held the game in my hand in a store. Other than that, no, haven't played or experienced it.

[addaminsain]

Manhunt speedruns you say? The oxmoronic nature of such a thing really appeals to me.

I played Manhunt a couple of years ago, before I "developed" as a gamer. Perhaps there are tricks to be had in that game that I never considered at the time.

it is a good game that,by and large, involves hiding, sneaking up on people and brutally killing them.

the violence is amusing, initially, but one can tire of seeing a man tear out another mans clavicle, with a crowbar, quite quickly. All the kills

[addaminsain]

appear as cutscenes. They are inventive but eventually, tiresome. Have you seen my cyclecancelling stuff with Euryale?

The reversal/negation of petrification works with all gorgons IF you catch it within the initial "flash". Food for thought for your upcoming GoWII glitch guide?

Self promotion? Don't be ashamed. If you don't advertise/promote yourself whenever you can then how can you expect anyone else to "big you up"?.

[AKheon]

But I'm a pacifist! Maybe I will check it out at some point, but it certainly isn't at the top priorities end of the pool.

In those speedruns the best speed gain seemed to come from simply running past everything you can.

Yup, saw the vid. The part I loved the most was the Kratos's stone body double thingy. The GoWII glitch FAQ is only a dream for now, so don't get too excited. I dunno, a part of me would want to do a small catalogue of the glitches and upload it, but then

[AKheon]

people would expect me to finish the damn thing too!

Hey, you know what's a death run? It's like a speed run except you try to get yourself killed as quickly as possible. I did a couple of 'em lately (for Siren 1 and Silent Hill 3) but unfortunately the genre as a whole isn't very popular...

[addaminsain]

Death run? Nice. Goes against the whole ethos of gaming. I like it.

[AKheon]

I was thinking of doing one for GoW. I know an extremely quick game over can be achieved in the first screen already: by getting at least three of your enemies to instantly do the swirly attack on Kratos. He dies in 1 second.

[TsuchiharaTetsuma]

Oh! And if possible, with japanese audio.

(sorry for the double post)

Thanks²

[AKheon]

See videos from a guy called Surrealgamer: he's doing a video series with the whole game played through and all the cutscenes intact (with japanise audio).

[TsuchiharaTetsuma]

Ah! Thanks a lot!

[TsuchiharaTetsuma]

You know, I'd be very happy if you just uploaded the cutscenes from the game... I'd like to know more about the story, with my own eyes.

'Cause, if it wasn't released in the EUA, it's unlikely to release in South America, right?

Thanks.
