Doom Eternal Developers React to 27 Minute Speedrun

Doom Eternal is barely a month old and speedrunners have already figured out how to finish the game in under a half hour. So ride along with Marty Stratton (Executive Producer), Hugo Martin (Game Director), Jerry Keehan (Level Design Director) and Evan Eubanks (Lead Game Programmer) as they watch their latest game get absolutely destroyed by world record speedunner: Xamide.

its the best thing a dev should think of imo. to an extent some people would like them too to bring some variety to speed runs.

[@Subarashii_Nem]

I like this because it's not a glitch that just happens. YOU have to do it yourself to get it to work so if you want it gone, just don't use it. If the community wanted it fixed because they wanna focus on less glitch runs and it'll weed out the cheaters then they will patch it, if not they will leave it in and leave it to people's discretion to use. It's how game devs should think. It's not a game breaking glitch because again, you can just not do it so it doesn't need a fix or even warrant one. I like how they wanna get involved in the community and cater to All players! It's real nice to see them genuinely care. Unlike a bunch of devs I could list..

[@Pablud3S]

The answer - fix it, but make previous builds available.

[@chrisheartman9263]

Answering the devs about the "do speedrunners like when devs fix route defining, or route helping bugs and glitches" question: It depends on the bug/glitch and the game. Some games' speedruns are based around one glitch or one one kind of glitched system or a chain of glitches stemming from the same problem. When *these* glitches are taken out, and the game has versions that you can go back to, there's usually different categories that might get made after a moment of assessment stemming from "before verson x" and "after version x" aka with the x bug and without the x bug, while for other games there might be a moment of regrouping and stalling to make new routes and possibly finding new glitches and bugs (which doesn't always happen). Some runners might find the fix annoying, while others might see the fixing of the bug like a new challenge to find new ways to break the game and stuff, but again, it depends on the bugs and games. Runners especially find annoying when they get treated more like a beta tester then anything else (right nintendo?). This doesn't mean that they don't enjoy when the game gets fixed to be more stable and healthy (they love it actually).

[@chrisheartman9263]

Another small point: runners do THOUSANDS of tries. They definitely get both their fun and their money worth from the game. And this comes only from the attempts they do. You have to also count the times they might've played the actual game without running it.

'He's gotten his money's worth out of the game' THAT, THAT is what devs should be thinking, its soo pure. they legit want to make a game and that players get their money's worth from it. love these guys

[@diamondchris2794]

That's why I love devs like this. They know people got their money's worth. They think this is fascinating. They see this and actually think hey can we make a behind the scenes video of speed runners of our game? They are not mad, upset, or truly disheartened. They want to have fun to, while simultaneously letting them have their fun.

[@alexmbroughton]

When it comes to fixing bugs for speedrunners it depends on the community of runners. Some basically will only run a specific version because of the exploits so everyone uses that patch # others find new bugs in the most recent patches so they all switch to that patch. So whatever version is best client for them they will use, and sometimes that changes sometimes it doesnt. But commonly there is categories for whatever is fastest and ones for no major bugs or no use of XXX glitch ect.

@@Kebutor Well you gotta try very hard to make this even work. It's not like you are going to accidentally do these glitches in normal gameplay.

[@Kebutor]

@@Mikri90 I disagree, in the three months I had played the 2016 Doom game on switch I found the clipping through walls when glory killing, while scroll wheeling it shows active particle effects still work, you glory kills in freeze tag on a ramp you fall through the map, and you are able to glory kill invisible pinkies if weakened. Just normal playing and only had the thought what if I pushed this button. Also in the multiplayer map with the toxic green ooze, use a teleport frag on it, you can teleport underneath it. Quite frankly you can shoot it since there is no collision. Oh a fun bug in Oblivion is take your basic heal spell when no enemies are around and cast it, when the ball of light is in the center of your hand hit select and wait an hour. You get full health.

[@Mikri90]

@@Kebutor I have no reason to doubt your own experience, but frankly I never had any of those issues. Granted, I haven't played a lot, just a single play-through, but it was flawless. Could it be because it is a switch port? I mean as far as I can tell it seems to be a decent port, as reported by the reviews, but it's not natively built for it, so it might not be representative of the experience on the platforms it originally released on, i.e. PC, XBOX, PS4. Also, although I stand by my remarks about Doom 2016, keep in mind that I was commenting here on Doom Eternal, not Doom 2016.

[@Slimmeyy]

@@Ferna471 Not really. It just looks like that in this Devs React series because almost every (if not all) dev team watching these speedruns is a smaller(ish) team. You won't see people like EA and Bethesda doing things like this.

[@EldritchAugur]

What struck me the most is how familiar all of them are with the levels and the game themselves, picking up on things that only people who have actually played the game through will immediately recognize. So often when you hear developers talk about their game it's almost like they haven't played it much themselves and only cared to do their contribution to the overall project without being familiar with the ins and outs of how the game actually plays. It's very refreshing to see even the executive producer have obvious first hand knowledge of level flow and strategies. It proves that even the top people at the company care enough to play through the game themselves.

[@joshjames582]

Maybe it'll be a bit more sincere once they address the game-breaking bugs keeping people from accumulating the proper amount of Event XP. The game is otherwise great but this is a glaring issue.

This was awesome. Hearing them talk about whether they should fix the bugs. Actually asking before they do it is so cool
