I just love to imagine what this is like from Slate’s point of view. They see you wake up, then leap onto their head, launch yourself up to the landing pad, then bust through the roof of the observatory, back to the landing pad, then fling yourself back to the campfire and immediately fall asleep. At this point, they *should* have you grounded for medical reasons, specifically insanity
Speedruns are always incredible to look at for many reasons, but when I saw you flying towards the big bang as it's happening (using the scout launcher for additional acceleration, no less) to die faster, I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. Holy hell, well done!
the game can go indefinitely before pairing and you do all planets are reset to the beginning of the loops, and a bunch of stuff like hollow's lantern and the hourglass twins sand exchange don't start@@cielararagi3195
I see a few tricks have been added since last time I saw. Like pre-loading the warp pads with the scout and observing the galaxy through the floor. Great run!
So hold on a second, the statue is triggered by you walking next to it, but only starts the animation once you're on the ground, is what I'm gathering?
The funniest is when you manage to get on another planet without touching the ground, and once you do your character's head will just do a full 180 and try to lock on wherever the starting planet is at that point
Crazy how you boost yourself before the black hole in the vessel. I've just completed this game during last week, it was crazy to see you run this so fast
@@whalemanification he isnt flying onto the planet. He is skipping all the walking to the vortex in the sky and immediately just skipping to the scene where he gets spawned to the observatory at the eye.
I like to imagine the perspective of characters in game as a player speedruns, silently thinking to themselves "what the actual hell is going through their head-" as the player manages to clip into a corner, never to be seen again
8:16 - Sheesh, I had no idea you could even do that. Based on the audio cues, it doesn't *sound* like it saves a ton of time... did the developers lock you in place for this cutscene, or can you actually make it go faster that way?
There is a video on youtube where devs react to an Outer Wilds speedrun, and they do mention that during the big bang the character is locked in place, unable to move using the thrusters. Perhaps they didn't account for scout launcher momentum and that still causes the character to move? But does it actually save time?
i know im a few weeks late to this, and years late to speedruns, but what in the world was up with spawning the campfire and esker? that movement looks so out of place but i cant figure out how or why it moves so fast
there are so many things I didn't know like I knew about the dozing off mechanic but ig I mever used it, i just forgot about it, and also the eject button
My first time booting up livesplit i got a 19:10 and the time I settled on a week later was 10:56. I can't even imagine how much more work it would be to get a sub goddamn 8 😭
Is there a reason you only accelerate in two vectors (forward and vertical) at once when maneuvering the ship and EVA suit, without any lateral acceleration? In other sim-ish space games, "tricording" (combining forward, vertical, and lateral strafe inputs) is generally the fastest way to accelerate because it uses all available thrusters simultaneously. It's been years since I played Outer Wilds so I'm not sure if the same is true here, but I recall it being fairly realistic in terms of the physics simulation so I would assume so. Might shave a second or two off the flight sections if so, though it definitely is harder to see where you're going.
"In-plane" thrust (forward, left, right, and back) are capped. So thrusting forward and left gives you the same acceleration as just thrusting forward. The up and down thrusters are exempt from this.
I don't think you can play this even more perfectly. I'd ove to see sub 7:40 but i think it's impossible sadly, unless you can take a geyser earlier at the start
It might seem that way, but I feel confident that I can shave off those last 3 seconds with enough grinding. There were some time losses in this run, some of which were even pretty major (like 0.5-1 seconds), they just aren't really perceptible to the casual viewer.
@@ptminsker like what? this run is awesome, i noticed a few times where it seems like you could have gone a tiny bit faster (e.g entering bramble, though i dont know if you need to slow down a tiny bit before you enter or if it's just difficult to aim) but where are you losing a whole second?
@@turquoise7817 To list a few: -I took the fish room a bit safe due to the pace I was on, that lost around a second to just full sending it -Vessel entry was a bit too fast and gave me an unfavorable bounce towards the tunnel, this lost around another second -Hitting observe through the floor was slow, this lost around 0.5 -I could hone in on the clone a little bit faster, this was another 0.5 -When boosting back to the campfire at the end I landed a bit away from the campfire and walked the rest of the way, this likely lost around a second. There's some other stuff, but it's mostly pretty minor (like 0.1-0.2 time loss). For the one you pointed out, slowing down when entering bramble is necessary as if you enter too fast you overshoot the red node and lose time. In addition to all this, there's also some strats we know of that I'm not doing that would save a few more seconds, though they're quite difficult.
What I don't understand is why do you need to trigger the cutscene of the statue looking at you at all ? Wouldn't it be faster to skip that entirely since you also don't really need the launch codes ?
Pls just forget what you just saw and go play this game. It’s the most genius puzzle game ever, everything is just there and you have the tools to do everything right away, but you need to travel a lot to discover how everything works to proceed and not to get the ability to do a specific thing
wait how did they sleep? i thought you had to die at least twice to be able to sleep? Other speedruns ive seen (like the one the devs reacted to) had the player throw themselves off a cliff then jump in the campfire before being able to sleep.
Why is no one talking about the fact that their timer inexplicably freezes a minute and a half in? That automatically disqualifies it from being the world record
@@sirbibton What sleeping is doing is it's turning off all the visuals and just running the physics simulation as fast as it can. This would obviously be faster on better hardware.
This is probably like the worst playthrough of Outer Wilds, being how the game's (subjectively) supposed to teach you that it's important to value slowing down and enjoying the ride.

Your Dark Bramble sequence is just lore accurate Feldspar

That was incredible
Pretty sure the technique used here is actually called “Ultimate Feldsparing”
It's only lore accurate Feldspar if it comes from the lore accurate Feldspar region of France. Otherwise it's just feldsparkling piloting.

This is something i love about outer wilds, you can literally beat the game from the start, you just have to know how.
Fun fact: the time spent in the solar system in-universe is about 10 minutes (including the Eye's physical lcoation but not the ending sequence).
I just finished outer wilds today and this is crazyyyyy
You legit pulled a Feldspar in Dark Bramble!
Congratulations bro, it's awesome to see again this runs.
This here lines up with the whole Freebird solo if you sync up your launch from Timber Hearth with "fly freebird".
Need to try this
incredible
awesome run, love to see it
Crazy how you boost yourself before the black hole in the vessel. I've just completed this game during last week, it was crazy to see you run this so fast
Why isn’t he just using the teleport from the vessel onto the eye? Surely that’s faster than flying manually onto the planet

Spawning the campfire is just spamming the flashlight, spawning esker is moving the camera back and forth really fast.

Statue activates when you get near and are touching the ground. They did one but not the other until they reached the ship.
What I don't understand is why do you need to trigger the cutscene of the statue looking at you at all ? Wouldn't it be faster to skip that entirely since you also don't really need the launch codes ?

This is what life would look like if you could go back to being a kid with all your memories
question, does shooting the scout launcher away from you at the big bang do anything? I thought you were locked in place during that sequence
It does, the scout launcher can move you slightly. The scoutboosting there saves around 0.7 seconds.
@@ptminsker cool
What happens if you use the geyser to get up to your ship and then just take off without activating the statue in the observatory?
The time loop doesn't start and the sand doesn't start draining on ash twin, preventing you from accessing the ATP.
