Max Payne Speedrun - DoA difficulty - [

[@GamerPro132]

There was something disturbingly familiar about the letter before me. The handwriting was all pretty curves. "You're in a speedrun, Max" The truth was a blazing green chasm in my head. Running past my enemies, rolling to my destinations, using glitches to reach impossible speeds and heights. I was in a speedrun. Funny as hell, It was the most horrible thing I could think of.

31:38 I love that scene where the two blonde spooks kill that technician and go "I think he's dead already". They shoot forward for about fifteen seconds and never change their aim to account for the victim being dead and not standing up anymore. They're even aiming above their eye level. They've got these angry looks on their faces while they unload full mags in to thin air. Looks ridiculous.

Wait. At Rosco street station you can save the security guy who opens the door?! My entire life has been nothing but lies.

[@kevinrichardson14]

Mind blown!!!!

[@Dominik40301]

You cant save him, even if you kill the guy who usually kills him, security guy just dies no matter nobody shots him, even blood falls on floor i think. This happens because it is a scripted death, he doesn't actually die from shotgun, i remember there were situations where guy with shotgun missed him, bullet hit the wall on right side, and he still died

[@JudgeBane]

There was something disturbingly familiar about the letter in front of me. The handwriting was all pretty curves. "You're in a KZbin video Max." The truth was an icy green chill in my brain. Constant inane babble, screams of rage when I die and return that aren't from me, constant freezes in time while the video buffers. I was in a KZbin video. Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

[@Jay-zk7uw]

There was something disturbingly familiar about the comment in front of me. The text was all pretty arial font. "You're in a KZbin comments section, Max." The truth was an icy green chill in my brain. Arguments spawning from a single word, unprovoked outbursts of profanity laced with childlike spelling of racist and homophobic slurs. I was in a KZbin comments section. Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

Hey, I wanted to tell you that I truly thank you for everything you've done for Max Payne speedrunning. You certainly inspired me to push boundaries while speedrunning it. I'd love to talk with you if you're active on here!

[@user-we1fk4ul5o]

cut ridd3r some slack. people griping about bugs and glitches should really look up summoningsalt’s videos...he documents the history of certain games’ speedruns and the subsequent speedrunners who defined the history of those games online. people don’t understand I think how difficult it is to perfect glitches and bugs within a game to perform them as perfectly as ridd3r or many other speedrunners do. glitches and warps are accepted for most games and given their own category in speedruns, so it’s not cheating by any speedrunning standard either. what ridd3r did is pretty fucking cool and I’m sure took hours of gameplay...Thanks for sharing this with us. I couldn’t sleep and wanted to rewatch gameplay of one of my favorite childhood games and I got to see this amazing spectacle because of it. Kudos to you and all the work you put into it

[@minihalkoja590]

41:13 Was that a flashback or something? :D

[@Gazzoosethe1]

Arttu N he shot the guard on the other elevator with the grenade launcher

[@Dalek22comments]

Because of the skip at 39:18 the guards are still alive. Normally you would kill them but for whatever reason they somehow end up walking into the laser area which kills them. Fun fact: I actually discovered this trick by accident around 12 years ago after holding W down after closing the comic strip. I eventually stumbled upon a speedrun of this game and noticed Ridd3r didn't use it in his previous run so I told him about it to save him time! :)

[@llVIU]

@RICO 22:45 and I suppose this was programmed into the game as well? I'm not gonna spend an hour trying to pick every single thing that I can identify to prove to a random internet person that he's cheating. When the truth is that you're not here to be convinced, you're just here to narrow mindledly say that ANY bug abuse in a speedrun is not cheating. ''it's not a bug, it's a trick'' k buddy.

in train cutscene he fell - because tre train pushed him, smth like that. So, that was enough damage for max to die. But you can't die in a cutscene, so we have the walking dead, and enemies think that you are already dead

[@juanfedericocriado8229]

how do you do to not get attacked by them?

[@CookedOnions]

When you spam bullet time, the bullets that are already currently in the air won't hit you if I recall correctly.

[@1Ridd3r]

Don't think that's true. If I don't get attacked it's because I skipped their trigger zones. It's all explained in tlinks in the description.

[@CookedOnions]

Ah I think it was probably max payne 2, I heard the speedrunner Saintmillion talk about it during SGDQ earlier. I guess maybe the same mechanic doesn't apply in the first game.

[@iliasemmanuil]

@1Ridd3r Wonderful. I admire your runs, it's amazing what you squeezed out of this game. i thought this game was done with your last run, but you couldn't let it go ;) I will enjoy the commentary ones it has been posted. cheers and keep being that awesome!

Can someone explain to me why every speedrunner looks down at the ground majority of the games? Is your aimbot to powerful that it wont show unless you aim it at the ground, until the right moment? What is the benefit? Aimbot is the only thing I can think of. so your mouse doesnt race all over the place and you wont get caught. Or is there some secret to it that makes you run faster? The fuck is that?

[@Dalek22comments]

Yes, for whatever reason shooting at the helicopter does that, but it's totally random each time you do it. Sometimes it works, other times it takes a little longer.

[@cyrilkubat4332]

Usually when you empty at least 100 Ingram bullets in that helicopter, that window just closes.

At 7:42 how the hell was that gate open?

[@1Ridd3r]

Scott Warren Not sure what you mean, it opens after the cutscene?

[@scottwarren4998]

ridd3r No, from what I remember you had push a lever in that room. You didn`t do it.

[@1Ridd3r]

Scott Warren Ah OK, so the gate only gets shut if you engage the guys in that last room and then one of them pulls a level which shuts it. If you roll to the exit they don't get chance.

[@scottwarren4998]

ridd3r Okay, a question though at 39:12, how the fuck can you jump like that?

[@1Ridd3r]

Scott Warren Sigh, it's all explained in the description and the links I gave at the start of the video...

[@Terrorforming]

[@blackjack3599]

This was just filthy

[@1Ridd3r]

@zackyee1 No it's not a TAS, this run specifically took me about 130-150 hours. Obviously I've done other runs etc. and spent more time than that on this game.

[@ak-ff8mw]

You are also playing in cutscenes

[@1Ridd3r]

Rolling is significantly quicker for pro2 & pro3, I've tested it several times. You can skip several cutscenes in pro1, but super jumping skips all but one and saves a couple of seconds on the stairs. Unless you're saying you can skip that cutscene?

[@AcidifyArt]

this was so good and nostalgic! thanks

[@divine3728]

How to skip cutscenes?

[@jigsaucemusic]

this might be a little late, but first off cutscene skips can only be done on pc. it takes advantage of the game’s instant save/load buttons (f5 and f9). if you mash the save button (f5) right as the cutscene starts and then mash the load button (f9), it allows you to control max during the cutscene. this works because you are basically loading yourself into the cutscene

[@1Ridd3r]

@LucaTurilli89 Super jumping up the stairs skipped their trigger point (which is around the bottom of the stairs).

[@FranciscoGarcia-bo7wv]

High Jump had never been so useful in vidya before. Amazing speedrun man

[@superuber27]

I just finished the game for the first time and noticed that you seem to get boosted when strafe running off the edge of an object into the air and I'm surprised it isn't abused more in a run. Am I incorrect about the benefit? Or does the jumping to get onto an object and the landing animation afterward or something else negate any benefit that would be gained? Also I thought rolling while pointing the camera up rather than down in the dream sequence seemed faster, am I incorrect about that too?

[@1Ridd3r]

Not sure what you mean about strafe jumping boost. As far as I know there's no difference. Where you look when rolling makes no difference.

[@superuber27]

Hm, I guess it just looks faster since there's no running animation. The rolling thing was just a feeling anyways, so I guess I'm wrong there too. Thanks for the quick reply on such an old video, and nice work on the run.

[@1Ridd3r]

@HuskyTdC I was skipping a cutscene. It occurs there because I skip the killer suits at the mona cutscene. The killersuits end up running into the laser fields for some reason.

[@minajabbari6737]

Great! I really enjoyed watching this video

[@dianaburnwood6802]

Dat Lupino fight...

[@Vampyreq]

Sorry I'm not a speedrunner, so I'm not sure about terms like "pro2" and "pro3" but anyway I was referring to the cutscene that appears at 18:13. A jump into the living room will let you skip the trigger for that cutscene, so it doesn't even appear. But it'll be slower than your roll + save glitch. Just thought you might want to know...

[@petro6350]

Perfect speedrun, thanks a lot

[@Gumbocinno]

Those dream sequences scared the absolute fuck out of me when I was younger.

[@Passoul303]

I was wondering if there is a time for a no-glitch speedrun. I am interested in trying a time in this category of run.

[@peposo7]

Is it possible to break Remedy's par time without using those glitches?

[@1Ridd3r]

Yeah very possible. Even with no glitches 37-38min on NYM is doable. If you count rolling as a glitch then it would be slower, but still easily under their par time. I'm pretty sure one of their development team got that par time, it's not just made-up.

OOOH now it makes sense! BTW, did you use a macro for super jump? How did you get it so consistent? Because my macro only works maybe 30% of the time at 60 fps.

[@Dreammaster695]

great stuff i never knew the game had so many glitches

[@JumperSnipera]

14:32 you keep running over the basket ball field but cant you just skip the mission by jumping over the left fence to the secret room?

[@SuperFrizzio]

Just re-watched it again and I love it as much as I did the first time I saw it.. Anyways do you have any other MP Speedrun project in mind?

[@1Ridd3r]

Thanks. I don't have any Speedrun projects at the moment to be honest. I did float the idea of a team segmented run (as this run can now be beaten with the start of level save glitch) ages ago when I completed the RTA, but there wasn't any interest.

[@kidsreelhindi]

43:05 how did you do without cheat console🤔

[@JumperSnipera]

@1Ridd3r look what version because i tried it alot and i only could record vids of 30 secs long :( how do i fix it?

[@JumperSnipera]

i love it how you cut some missions like the mission before the last: you skip 2 floors at the beginning, it takes you 5 secs to get there without cutting it takes about 5 mins or longer then 25:38 that jump is awesome, you actually cut the whole mission! 10:16 why dont you die from that height? is that because of the endscene? then in max' first nightmare: is side rolling faster then front rolling? same in second?
