16 year record BROKEN by unexpected speedrunner

[@planescaped]

I remember asking why Karl didn't have Runway on his 'probably will never be beaten' Goldeneye list. He said "because it's beatable"

[@Revilerify]

What an absolute legend

[@michaelb1082]

Is there a pastebin of that? I'd be curious to see his thoughts.

[@inthefade]

@@michaelb1082 I'm sure Karl will make a video about this too. Just give him a day or two.

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

It's almost a shame he wasn't the one to beat it because then he would be known as the one to break the top 5 longest standing records in goldeneye.

[@travelreview5962]

KJ is God tier with GE/PD. It's badass knowing he said that bc it just increases his absolute legend status.

[@MetroAndroid]

When all the "beatable" WRs get broken, the-elite should make a compilation of all the current WRs (using the run that untied the record) back to back in one video. Would be cool, maybe with a clean version and a version with commentary from each runner when available.

[@raafmaat]

yes, that would be so awesome! and for all the segments where the runner wasnt able to provide commentary, someone like carl or goose should just fill in :)

[@shred_zed1]

The ultimate run

[@-MrFozzy-]

I really think you should pop over to Karl and suggest this...!

[@mattsherwood]

I disagree with goose and some community members who believe a run is unbeatable. Just about every single WR that was deemed to be unbeatable was in fact, defeated and broken. I believe with enough skill and dedication to this game, there will always be a way to go faster. The hardware is the only limitation. But see, grenading the two guards in the shack is something that literally no one thought mattered. However it was the key to success, so I believe with enough studying each level can and will continue to become faster and faster even if it takes multiple years.

[@raafmaat]

@@mattsherwood eventually all possible time-gains have been used and there will be physically no possibility to gain another full second....... ofcourse right now, i think most levels can be beaten still, but most of the short levels are now getting VERY close to being maxed, it would be different if they timed using thousands of a second like in many other games, but here it has to be a FULL second time save.... especially the shorter levels just dont have much more options, but yeah, like i said, at this time , most levels can still be beaten, mind you, not all!

[@gratler]

Your story telling skills are awesome. When the run came on at 17:53, I was on the edge of my seat, fully understanding what I was about to see.

[@bigheadedz1887]

Still find it crazy that killing 2 guards save 0.15 secs. Also improving the chances of finishing the stage shouldn't be overlooked. Wonder if this'll cause more thinking into other stages where knocking out a few guards could make all the difference. Thanks Goose for the vid and massive congratulations to Berg for this truly remarkable speedrun.

[@hitlord]

The game needs to process fewer things, you get a smoother gameplay, lose less inputs to frame lag, therefore you get places faster. This is also the reason why the run looking to the ground goes super fast with half the boosts.

[@dingfro7612]

9:52 the shape of this map reminds me of... something

[@33LB]

who would have thought the answer would have been as simple as passing away 2 guards to reduce lag... truly remarkable...

[@MahDryBread]

[@Gerald-of-Riviera]

I haven’t watched fully but I always wonder how the old record holders react or if they’re still even apart of the community.

[@TheSquareOnes]

@chubbyurma Yeah, most of the toxic "THIS IS MY TITLE AND I DESERVE IT AND NOBODY ELSE CAN HAVE IT EVER!" people usually seem to overlap heavily with the same people who resort to splicing and other cheating methods to keep their name at the top. Given how active the Goldeneye community is and all of the improvements to their proof-checking over the years I'd be surprised if any of those assholes could survive there for any real period of time, so it's probably as healthy as they come in terms of attitude.

High Commander Squealer Wouter Jansen was the first goldeneye speedrunner to optimise his runs to a very high standard, over 20 years ago. He set the bar and laid the groundwork for everyone who came after him. I highly recommend checking out some speedlore episodes to hear about this in detail from the goose himself!

[@casaroli]

That Jansen remark legitimately brought a tear to my eye. I played Goldeneye since 98. First game I tried speedruning and I started because I saw his videos in The Elite. I eventually (don’t even ask me when) tied his 00 agent Egyptian record (although never submitted anywhere because I didn’t record my gameplay). He is the only speedrunner I know by name from the top of my head. This is truly the end of a legacy.

[@joshbraz1772]

The 21 may not have looked impressive, but something impressive about it is how all the boosts were right in the direction towards the plane, so maximizing the .3 second per every boost, which is pure skill. Goose even said how hard it is not to get boosted slightly the wrong direction thus losing the full potential of the boost, and it looks really clean because of this

[@patrickroberts7633]

Been nailing these videos back to back now for months, really reignited my love for goldeneye. Also you sound just like Seth Rogen which is amazing. Thanks for all the videos!!!

I've seen a videos talk about runway. And in Karl's video he said those guards could blow your plane up. I'm surprised that between the rarity of a guard boost on agent, the small lag benefit, and people's nature to be spiteful, that hadn't come up yet.

[@josh_uz1520]

See you at 100k really soon, Goose

[@SaintedPIacebo]

the controversy of the quality sounds like people just wanted a reason to bitch and invalidate something. watching it twice in the video before that was brought up i didnt notice it, and it seemed perfectly fine. being that picky about something is ridiculous, especially when the spirit of the rule about quality is more about stopping people from handcamming a crt.

Not gonna lie, but hearing and remembering that this new untied world record means Wouter Jansen doesn't have any more world records made me very sad, I guess it's because he was such an innovator and Legendary player and now without having a world record under his belt (after having set 281 records for bloody sakes) it feels like an end of an era and that his time has passed seemignly. Here's hoping Wouter can mount a comeback eh? Even still major props to Berg for setting this record, it was insane seeing him get all those boosts down the runway. I cannot express enough how shocked and blown away I was as someone who doesn't speedrun GoldenEye myself but loves to play the game itself as it's my all time favorite game. Outstanding work by Berg, hope to see him set more impressive records in his career.
