Yeah, but it doesn't matter, because any glitch they find that the normal player won't find, won't be patched out, for the sake of speedrunning. They only patch out stuff that a normal player might stumble upon and would ruin their game in some way. Though there are exceptions to that too, where devs just try to fix anything that makes it easier for the speedrunners, mostly probably because of multiplayer.
Glitching is not speedrunning a game 🤷🏽♂️ You can’t call it a speedrun when you use glitches, because that is not how you supposed to play the game. So, you can’t call glitchers, speedrunners 🙌🏼 A speedrun is, playing a game as fast as possible WITHOUT glitches.
@@Hermanos1995 what you are referring to is called a glitchless run, this type of run is called an any% run, meaning get to a preset point in the game (typically the end credits). an any% runs goal is to get to that point as fast as possible completing as much or as little of the game as you need to et there.
play testing isn't only about finding glitches though, it's about seeing what the general public likes/dislikes about the game so it can be tweaked. Since speedrunners usually play the game differently from most people it's not actually very generalizable feedback.
For me. The forest is still one of the best, if not THE best survival game out there. Even in the earliest stages of early access it vent above and beyond other games.
This is legit one of my favorite series on youtube. On top of that, this is one of my favorite games to watch others play. So this is a total win scenario
nahh, this speedrun was only jumping and figuring the best routes. Imo the any% is way more interesting cus it makes me think about "how tf did anyone figure this out? somebody must have accidentally jump striked in this corner to glitch out or someshit" its so much more interesting to see how they use different glitches to save time and some glitches are hard af and in some games they need to do multiple hard glitches where run dies if failed for them to do the WR.
Sure but why the hell even bother having the devs watch a playthrough speedrun? They have played through these places hundreds of times the same way so this entire commentating just consisted of "yup, thats the fastest route". A glitched one would involve much more in-game knowledge, mechanics and memorization and would recieve a much more hilarious reaction from the devs. watching the runner do things the devs have never seen.
12:38 the comment he makes here is the essence of why The Forest was one of the most successful indie games of all time. They tested their game the way players would
Just imagine being one of the enemies. Seeing this guy just jump around with Mach speeds and jump down massive drops without even a scratch. THAT would scare me.
Id rather them not fall into the rabbit hole of preventing people from abusing bugs like this where it only affects you if you go out of your way to do it.
The only major problem with this speedrun is the fact that he spent time on making an upgraded spear. In the forest, the basic spear does the same ammount of damage as the upgraded one when thrown. So he could have saved a lot on time not getting the bones and not crafting the upgraded spear.
@@MozzarellaBasket Nope. They are both the same. Except for the base damage being higher on the upgraded one compared to the basic spear ( when you don't throw it )
I'm super excited to see what the devs have in store for the future of SOTF. Having played and completed SOTF, it's definitely lacking a few things that would vastly improve the game (including things that were in the 1st game but are absent now). It is a fun experience to see the new island, explore new caves, and discover the new lore, but The Forest is still the better game of the two at the moment.
me and my friend were planning to beat the forest one last time before the release of sons of the forest. But this guy can beat the game 50 times a day
really should link the speedrunners channel/socials if you're using their content. Having their name in the video is nice, but the video wouldn't have happened without them.
Spears having highest damage. As spears are historically the best (and most used) handcrafted weapon, I'm surprised someone made it in game for real. When humankind invented sharp sticks, lions and bears became our snack (no joke), and we boosted to the top of food chain. Something apes still can't figure out.
I'd assume during a speed run the mandatory luls like climbing a rope or a cutscene you can't skip is a nice break from relentlessly trying to finish the game as fast as possible
If you think about it, getting to the lab as quickly as possible has a higher chance of surviving since you have modern luxuries everywhere such couches, temperature control, shelter, vending machines.
It's interesting to see the perspective of an indie developer. You can tell the difference vs a triple A developer. Indie developers test their own games so there's no oversight. They know their game engine and the limits and what you can do and abuse.
huge props to the devs for not having bugs that just let you teleport around and end the game in a minute or so. i'm glad to see a speedrun of a game actually being someone playing the game instead of the elden ring version, just a guy teleporting to the endgame area through a glitch...
Hearing the devs react to people literally speeding through the hours of work they put in is a bit of a double edged sword, because yes in this run they have gone through in 10 seconds but to get to that stage the speedrunner probably experienced the game more and longer than most other players. So yes, whilst what they are watching is quick, the time the speedrunner has spent to get to that stage takes literal days.
They leaked something in 6:17 xD they said theres no animations but there was no animations either way even in inv so that means they leaked animations for sons of the forest

This game was great, and with the second one coming this week, some great timing!
"it's amazing how little interaction he has with the enemies, He just hops around them" - Developer .... XD

It would have been hilarious if there was elevator music on the way to the second artifact and out of the facility, imagine!
He was almost able to get to Timmy in time to save him!
I've played this game for years and this is the first time I've seen the ending, lol.
They should have the speed runner in the call to answers the devs questions and exchange information.
With Portal 1 they actually did a separate video that was just the devs asking the speedrunner questions
Can't wait for Sons of the Forest
That boss fight was ridiculous. Funny how devs let those things to exploit.
