38:51 His response to the cutoff time is priceless. He seems blindsided by the question with good reason: the "save" or "kill" wasn't for the run, it was for a dlc skin and I don't think he could just choose which one to do at that point in the run.
So does the run get invalidated if you load from a backup save, or is the backup just an autosave? He said 'don't worry the backup is still female character' which makes me wonder this
The normal run would "Start" With that save he loaded, but for gdq he started from the beginning hoping for the luck. So technically the run isnt invalidated it actually begins when he loads that save. So no rules broken.
shouldn't he have to eat it or restart the run? not getting the right item near the beginning due to rng is no different than a boss who sometimes has "bad rng" and a fight ends up taking longer than expected. if you die during an official recorded speedrun for time, loading a save file to get the wrench is kind of strange
it is a marathon run. imagine u watch a pokemon speedrun on gdq and the runner has to reset over and over again cause the type of the pokemon isnt good.. same thing with the wrench.
A backup save just for bad RNG? That's goddamn lame. Backup saves are fine for soft locks and crashes and shit, but not just for bad RNG. That's bad running. Good runs improvise around the RNG.
Then he should've improvised, runs with lots of RNG are good when the runners improvise around it. Check out Carcinogen at ADGQ 2018 and RE7(or was that SGDQ 2017?), dude gets thrown the occasional curveball from random events. But he doesn't just pick up a "backup save" for them, he improvises around them, because he's good enough to still make it work.
Honestly, that's up to the runner. A marathon is just a demonstration, and he's demonstrating the currently optimal no-OOB route for the game. If he changes the route to minimize RNG impact, it would give a different idea of what running this game is like. They do point out what the idea behind the back-up save is, and I'd say it's well grounded.
You seem to forget the explanation that at the beginning the run doesnt start until you pick up the wrench technically so people who run this game literally open a save right before picking that wrench up and is guarenteed to have the wrench and THATS when time starts. He just showed the beginning of the game for the marathon. By your definition NO ONE should use a backup save. Just play the game casually. Waste 20 minutes of the marathons time. Set everything so far back that they tell him to pack up and not finish the run in order to stay on time. Just because you say its wrong. EVERYONE, and literally EVERYONE, who speed runs this catagory, as he explained, Starts WITH a save that HAS the wrench. SO you want him to waste everyone's time on a speedrun where he does something different for ALL OF US to enjoy something, because of something that is impossible to happen in an actual speedrun.

Runner introduction starts at 00:03. Run starts at 1:26.
The way he opened Dahl’s shuttle was actually the way I did because I had no idea what to do so I just jumped at it
Glad to see Prey is getting some love. Really underrated game. My favorite game of 2017.
Is this guy even moving his mouth when talking ?
mimic
The phantoms are *_evolving_*
Lmfao
the optimal strat is to talk with the least lip movement
That was so trippy wth! xD
This is also the first ever ventriloquist run.

There's a post ending scene I think? It might have referred to that.
The post-ending scene is whether you help or kill the human, has nothing to do with the survival of the typhon.
Thanks for the clarification cause I was legit confused when the run ended without an insentive actually happening lol
Is he a Ventriloquist?
The fact that his mouth isn't moving drives me insane.
It's a mimic
Should be called the "No mouth movement run". Did his mouth ever move? :P
I would be more concerned for the guys in the FAR back... so much movement but SO laggy
Prey is fun game! Thanks for speed running it!
I'm confused is someone else talking for him?
Someone from the couch must be
mad i missed prey, glad prey was on
Puts post-it note on comments section and writes "Not a mimic" on it.

Epilepsy warning at 20:10 - 20:25. I feel the reactor could possibly trigger someone. I don't have epilepsy so sorry if I'm wrong!
Yo I just finished this game a few days ago, it's so good casually :D Can't wait to see what the speedrun looks like.
HOW THE HELL IS HE TALKING??
Guy's mouth is moving, the camera sgdq used this year is an old potato.
LivingEidolon So he's moving his mouth frame perfectly?
@@DeathofChrono two years later and this joke still kills me
Simon Miller voice: "Prey, or Prey 2 if you wanna get serious about this."
This reminds me I should probably finish this game some time...
i don't know why but it looks like lifeL1ke's mouth isnt moving when he talks! XD is he also a simulation!?
Awesome, thanks!
he mentions a discord near the end there. any link to that?
probably this one. www.speedrun.com/prey2017/thread/w0rd1
auch wenn es schnell ging, schön das "ganze" spiel gesehen zu haben :-)
are there any speedruns without abusing glitches/bugs, destroying doors or going through solid objects?
I've missed almost every runes... #VODSQUAD

What difficulty is this on?
It is Mimic difficulty. You can tell by the fact that his mouth doesn't move.
shouldn't he have to eat it or restart the run? not getting the right item near the beginning due to rng is no different than a boss who sometimes has "bad rng" and a fight ends up taking longer than expected. if you die during an official recorded speedrun for time, loading a save file to get the wrench is kind of strange

When the runner and entire couch is extra hot.
This is a really dull speedrun tbh
A backup save just for bad RNG? That's goddamn lame. Backup saves are fine for soft locks and crashes and shit, but not just for bad RNG. That's bad running. Good runs improvise around the RNG.
I thought that the backup save is for marathon safety. Plus, that's quite the arbitrary definition for a "good run"
Then he should've improvised, runs with lots of RNG are good when the runners improvise around it.
