The Outer Worlds Developers React to 12 Minute Speedrun

all that was just running around taking damage wouldn't they already which we put in to stall you so you probably have to fight those people he showed us yeah his character may be dumb but I'm feeling pretty stupid [Music] Shinobi ends yes the speedrun by creeper hunter have you noticed half of the speedrun is in Edgewater it's just incredible it's like one thing get out of Edgewater they bypass all of our wonderful content well some of the stuff they do are things that I would have sumed some players would be able to do but they exploited it very efficiently like the whole Byzantium going to Byzantium first yeah but getting it open lock doors I never knew they'd be able to do that yeah I do wonder when I watch this how many times has this guy played before we're doing a speedrun this seems like it'd be so stressful you know you're five minutes in you're like oh my god if I screw up now yeah I mean yeah he just ran by three or four guys with guns six and he takes damage falling instead of being shot when I was testing I used to do this I could run past them all just get onto the ship is this normal difficulty do we know I didn't notice what he said it too but I know he's dumb Oh interesting he yeah he's less than two minutes into the game and he already has the main quest he's been on the ship he has the main quest and he's not even going to add water in fact I think he's just running by these these outlaws I'm really interested to see how he handles edge water because you have to go to read to get the passcode that's that's like the one hard gate I thought we put in the way I've seen them do it in the past is they kill read and get it off his computer I know but he's going to Adelaide first it's here is he just going to the geothermal that's what I'm saying I don't know that you can get into the geothermal plant but in the last speedruns they go to places so they get fast travel points they like collect them ah maybe now that makes sense I think you're right cuz now he's going back to Edgewater you're right oh he wanted to fast travel that's probably the quickest way to get that fast travel point so it's faster to go to run to the geothermal plant yes oh that makes sense talk to Silas it's not talking to anybody have you uh have you watched all of this before the super Sam I skimmed through it because I wanted to get the gist of it but I didn't notice that and but I didn't I wanted to see how he ends so do you know because my bed is that he goes right in there and kills Reed what do you think yeah yeah Reed has sorry Reed has seconds to live and he doesn't even know it wonderful elevator music precedes death I don't think he's appreciating our elevator music your and now he would he dies no he didn't I could've sworn the computer was the fastest way and that's it and the fast traveled back yeah did you see how he got in yep he jumped over the fence I never seen somebody do it that way before I think I have actually done it that way when testing oh I think you could jump over that fence well I know we put we put in the hole in the fence thing on the other side even shooting anything no no only when he asked his or did he he just pressed that lever and ran on no that would be the mechanical outside so does he go talk to Thomas nope of course not oh that's a sight cross let's go he just ran through the steam wait did he throw there yeah he just runs by and throws real fast he throws it of it no I think I think he just hits a and just keep going yeah so let's see where he sends the power to wait so are those are those numbers he didn't ever at the power are those numbers up there speed runs for the each of the areas it's the maximum time he's gonna spend in each area oh those were the records that other people had established he actually fast traveled back in here to reset the robots it was quicker - it was prick her to go out and go back in the front door than it was for him to run all the way back to the that's pretty amazing and he didn't even bother spending his level of points so that means you have to look I was getting out that means you have to time running from the bots the interior back to it and then be like no it's actually quicker if I leave the building and fast travel don't you know why he did that he did that to clear the combat flag you can't use ah so he literally thought it was faster to load and I don't need the account load screens in the time so he just basically that was a free comment flag wipe he's level four and as yet spent point and then he fast travel back to the ship yep and wisely didn't take Parvati so she doesn't slow him down with the automatic conversations huh doesn't even talk to a that just goes and repairs to ship immediately takes damage here oh I always take damage when I jump off that ledge skips the wonderful cutscene yeah yeah whatever Phineas we're gonna have time for this swear as he go because a groundbreaker what do you think he's gonna kill GLaDOS root I think he talks to you Dom you have to talk to him because you have to get him to that's an easy one though you're just gonna skip through that conversation because he'll he'll unlock your ship no matter what but I wonder if he used an SSD hard drive or he's editing out the loads okay Gladys he's not gonna kill Gladys is he don't kill Gladys oh he's gonna steal all the stuff and run away before they know did they not go to because they didn't see him cuz he hid oh he had lock picked it before it been identified State I was gonna do Tom he's leveling up so fast well you have to go to who don't done unlock your ship oh and he gave it on the his seal before he oh that's what he got out of the yeah but so yeah there it's possible to get into a state where you can so badly affected by the idea yep you can pick you can pick the lock on that safe without ever being caught wow I thought you had to use TTD or something but no we just heard there's a blind spot right there that they found how did he that's pretty genius how did you what he got caught by her and then somehow reloaded I don't really understand what happened there yeah I missed that one what's amazing is he's already more than halfway through his run yep yeah see look he he tries to pickpocket him he comes over opens the door I saw that BAM he's inside Rocco's office that's pretty genius but he's missing out on such wonderful narrative and storytelling I don't know and then he does fast I was back he loses the story long style points for that in my book but you know why did he run he spent texture time picking up the disguise maybe he needs it for the hope to get through the hope quicker but then he went back to the office oh he's going to get the chemicals yeah you have to okay yeah it's funny I don't remember what what gates we put where like he has to go talk to Phineas after gets the chemicals by the way I do the same thing I always jump over that reception it's a sign of good level design yep that receptionist can't block me and where did he get the key from they never talked to the earth was the key also in president uh yeah if you get in Rockwell's office because we were with our theory was that you had to talk to the you had to go to the minister to get into that office you don't he did right there that elevator is not available so he throws the switch and then he just runs around waiting for the elevator to appear all that was just running around taking damage when he already which we put in to stall you so you probably have to fight those people he showed us yeah his character may be dumb I'm feeling pretty and you can quote me on that well as we said we always went to Eve for the for the best on lines yes you did say that it was such an honor yeah so that's the thing - did he did the ahem this meticulously planned out from what playing at millions of times or did you watch other streamers and well he's he's going through the dialog so quickly he must know exactly what keep well yeah there's definitely that but there's also like the way he even moves through the levels he's two minutes from the end I know he's he's optimizing every step he takes I mean to get to the very specific like how he jumped over the the tanks to get to the I mean the yeah the tanks to get to the computer there his path yep his first time he's ever talked Phineas and he's what two minutes and some seconds away from me done okay so I have to get to this conversation and say yeah I've already got everything wonderful grab me general I'm really happy that doesn't break like he that this works narrative was solid wait why is he I don't know can you not tap through this I don't that was weird yeah if he had after three seconds he should have grabbed a shrink-ray if what's he wasting time for yes there goes the help but we know how this is gonna end dumbly so does he have to use the disguise to get through the hope is that why I went up to the captain's captain's room that's true I don't know so far he hasn't used to disguise no he's level seven it's him finish the game with a little said he's going so quickly we can't even follow what what cheats he's using yeah see he needed the disguise yeah otherwise these people would probably shoot him to death yes they're like level the lowest level they can be I think it's 16 or 20 yeah I'm assuming he bought additional sprint speed but I never saw him do it he is 45 seconds from being done it's because he skips it into the Sun I want to see a speedrun not taking away from the speed runner at all but I really want to see a speedrun that goes all the way through Tartarus a non dumb speedrun yeah andand um speed ride what's interesting I wonder if the dumb things get you through the conversations quicker at all probably not not significantly and there it is dad is impressive I think the most impressive thing for me was was how specifically he went through areas are you also proud of your dumb storyline you know what I mean I am proud that we let you skip the hope into the Sun and yes we do considered a legitimate end but I was disappointed that that was how the speedrun ended only because I wanted to see the TARDIS run it is curious I'm curious what the non dumb speed limit speed record is yeah I wonder if anyone's done that yet if we looked at that and there it is how many games let you do this I'm just gonna fling myself into the Sun what a great what a great ending I've heard of a couple games that let you do kind of things that they suppose that theoretically the game doesn't want you to do that then ends the game that I encrypt roll credits that was impressive Wow fantastic congratulations yes we salute you

"This seems like it'd be so stressful. You know you're 5 minutes in and oh my God if I screw up now..."

These guys don't speedrun.

If anyone hasn't seen it, the Psychonauts developers invited a speedrunner to perform with them in the same room and give tons of commentary. It's an older video and uses some outdated strats, but the devs' reactions are priceless, and they got basically all the lead devs from every department. Here's a link

I thought it was very interesting to see devs reacting to a speedrun of their own game and be so surprised with some mechanics and by the methods of speedrun itself, some of which are met with wonder by people outside of the community. I hope they do these kind of videos more often.

[u/Myto]

Interesting that even the devs didn't know why that one line of dialogue can't be skipped.

A few years ago. At an AGDQ I believe. The borderlands devs were present for a borderlands speed run. Was cool to hear dev stories and see how amazed they were at some of the tricks.

[u/Apoxa]

Kind of interesting. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot going on in the speedrun though. Would be cool to see for other games though!

[u/Mayrink]

Some random dude: "UGH! This isn't how the devs intended you to play!"

The actual devs: "Huh, how fascinating. Pretty neat actually."

[u/hclpfan]

Would love a whole sub or youtube channel of these types of videos

[u/LiamGTR]

Haha I love this, you can hear their minds being blown. This is also so cool to hear the developers watch a speedrun of their own game, I wish more devs would do this!
