"Our many years of hard work in ten minutes and fifty eight seconds."
Bro imagine how the Nomai feel
yes
😭😭😭
LMAO
Wonder how long a 100% ships log speedrun would take, though.
@@aniasparkle 43 minutes 56 seconds :D
Other devs: "You're not supposed to be able to do that!"
Outer Wilds devs: "Here's how you can make your speedrun even faster"
Yea
Haha
@@Retrenorium your name is straught up untranslated nomai text
It makes sense, since OW is all about knowing the shorcuts of the map
Chad devs
I love a speedrun where one of the requirements is literally "wait for the heat death of the universe"
This comment needs more likes.
well it is inevitable
Just wait it out, bro. 4Head
made me cry.. thinking on all those little Hearthians dying to a supernova over and over..
Well, technically only once, the time loop doesn't send the universe back in time, it sends your memories, so you can do something different. But the you who sent you memories now doesn't exist, and neither do the Hearthians dying in a supernova.
"We made a very short videogame guys"
And yet, it is one of the greatest I ever played.
@tyvek05 uuuuh, so edgy! You showed me, haven't you?
@@vsoco4921 I'm not surprised a 15 year old like him can't appreciate something that is not fortnite or call of duty.
@@vsoco4921 What did he say?
@@Vancold19 guess we'll never know
@@vsoco4921 he deleted his comment lol
Once again, thanks so much for showing my run and the speedrunning side of Outer Wilds! OW was easily my favorite game of 2019 and is one of the best games I've ever played. Seeing this game go from its Alpha back in 2015 to an official release has been incredible. Thanks so much to Mobius Digital for creating one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had!
Congrats! You rocked it, man. Can't wait to see what other time-saves there are left to be found. Also, Solanum% needs to be default category. Sad to see her excluded on so many runs lol.
@@jomujomu7513 Thanks! There's definitely an argument for Solanum% being the default. Right now Any% has more overall runners, so I don't know if it will change.
The run was awesome!!
@@mark_medina_ign4725 Thank you so much!
Congratulations! I’m very happy for you and the community. This just shows hard work and effort doesn’t go unnoticed!
"Our many years of hard work in 10 mins 58 seconds."
Well I kinda feel his sadness right there.
Yeah, that's actually pretty sad
That's the only thing he said all run😂
Not really sad, epic exclusivity and all that.
He doesn't really sound sad to me? More like amused
I am pretty damn sure the developers knew that this is possible.
“You’ve made Feldspar real proud”
Cool gonna go cry now thanks guys
Just finished this and can not recommend it enough, please play this game.
Hey did you notice how the two Cacti weren’t near the teleporter in this speed run
Great game, but I was a bit disappointed in the length. I'd have preferred if it was at least 15 minutes.
I wish. My pc died long ago, all i got is a switch
I'm joining the gang! Just finished it myself. Gotta say, I actually felt happy that I played the game. I enjoy playing games, but rarely am I really happy that I played one in particular. This game will be special to me for quite some time, and I'm gonna keep an eye on the devs for sure.
I read it wrong th first time I thought you just said I cannot recommend it at all
For everyone who hasn't played this game: The reason so many people in the comments are adamant for you to try the game is because it's release was massively overshadowed by The Outer Worlds. There was so much more attention towards the latter, and so much confusion between the two, that Outer Wilds was criminally overlooked. Those of us who have played the game know its quality, and know it's a phenomenal experience, and often get.... passionate about introducing new people to the game. Try the game on your own time, as your own choice, but please take this as a sincere recommendation!
Honestly so unfair that the other game had such a similar title, I also feel that popular youtubers could have helped this game gain traction but none actually played more than a few episodes.
From the Soil he’s just proving some context man. Nothing wrong with being passionate about somethin
@@THEODSTKING117 Dunno man, I'm just trying to present a rational argument to people instead of saying "GRRRR PLAY THIS GAME!" If anything, I feel like mine is one of the calmest approaches here!
@From the Soil Relax dude, why you stressing?
Outer Wilds is *so* much better than The Outer Worlds it's not even funny. TOW is a fun, graphically interesting but otherwise conventional experience. OW elevates the entire art form of computer gaming.
11 minutes to complete probably the most amazing adventure game every.
Took me 20+ hours and I savored every second of it.
Ya damn right. Most incredible game I’ve ever played
it took me 43 hours B)
"YOLO"
This is the one situation where that term is inaccurate.
RRW i had swiped off of the video right when i seen your comment and i literally had to come back just to like it. best thing ever😂😂
although by this point ATP is off, so not anymore. Truly is accurate, one final go around with your friends all around the campfire as every star in the universe goes supernova
@FilmGamer if you die then, thenn yes, it is your final death, you get the end credits. They do let you then basically go back and restart from your previous loop, but in-universe you truly did die
That entry into dark bramble tho
I was like whaaaaa? I've only seen the guy in there
Clutchyfinger absolute insanity
Literally your ship feels the air of Dark Bramble rushing by too fast and your reactor spontaneously combusts... dunno how this guy did it 😂
That's how I'm gonna enter from now on, inspired man, inspired.
Eff those 3 particular fish though. They got me sooo many times, and I was going much slower than this speedrunner lol
It’s nice that the devs took speedrunners into account when designing the game, and *also* talked about ways to improve the run.
Actually most devs seem to do so, its just that we never notice cause its not like they have a separate text on patch notes just for speedrunners lol.
Ye, specially odd when its an atmospheric puzzle game not at all meant to be rushed. Those are some really thoughtful devs.
@@bluewolf7111 most indie devs*
@@anthonyryan6208 half life devs took speedruns into account - the reaction they did to a speedrun discussed when they were thinking about fixing the bugs speedrunners used, but thought that it would be too damaging to the community
This is the first one of these videos I've watched where the devs are pointing out what he did wrong and could improve instead of being blown away
Literally the entire scientific community
I mean, that's kinda the design of the game: figuring out the way to the end in specific time frame.
@@SamuSeen For real. Planning out how to solve the final puzzle kind of felt like planning out a speed run to me. You only have 20 minutes to do what he did in 5
That swoop under the bridge on ash twin blew me away. lol
Outer wilds gave me one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had as an adult. Such a gem of a game and most people haven’t played it. If you’re interested then don’t watch this guy destroy it in 10 minutes and treat yourself. It’s on games pass last time I looked.
i loved the game so much, i could not think of anything else for like 2 week after finishing it. just keep thinking about the story and the meanings.
It's one of those games I wish I could completely forget just so I could experience it for the first time again
Totally agree! I completely the 1.0 release that didn't have the extra tips and effects so it took me about 45hrs to beat it and I loved every second! Now it only takes 12-15hrs but is a much more approachable experience for the less hardcore. Magnificent game either way
I haven't played it yet so i get to enjoy that fresh new feeling.
This game was amazing. I wish no mans sky was more like this game. The space ship thing is so cool. You can walk around the ship while its still flying. You have to equip your spacesuit before you even leave the ship. You can get out the ship in the middle of space. Its amazing.
2:01 "Is fling themselves to death.. and as we all fell like doing every morning"
That got dark fast
@@FedericoSanchez21 Yeah hope he's feeling okay, on a day to day basis.
@@badboy4149 yeah hope so to, hope he was joking or something.
I think he is all right, Just truly is not a morning person
Although, i'll be honest, as someone who have depression, that's the type of joke i would do to cope in the worst days :b
P.S: I much, much better at dealing with It guys, don't worry, and If someone who does have similar sinptoms of It, please look for medical/psicological help and support from your loved ones, It truly helps
@@xiaui556 I once heard of a woman whom, due to depression, became afraid of a bridge along her commute route because she felt the urge to jump off whenever she went near it. She ended up changing her commute and taking a longer route just to avoid the bridge.
Watching this without knowing anything about the game is confusing af.
You just ruined all your game experience if you ever think to play it
Really... WTF is going on here...😂😂😂
@@desocupados2012 You cant really be thinking I would watch this if I ever wanted to play it...
And maaan, it's a really, REALLY long story
It looks cool. I wanna play. Didn't know about this game before this video.
If i could wipe my memories of any piece of media to experience it again it would be this game
start the ash twin project but dont look at the statues!
It would be interesting to not just wipe your memory of the game but do so in a way such that after experiencing it again for the first time you could then compare the two first-time experiences of the game with each other.

If you played on PC, and have access to VR tech, at the very least you can maybe enjoy it with the community VR mod for the game. Return someplace familiar, but in a wholly new light.
Just can't seem to get into it
I feel like the developers’ personalities manifested themselves perfectly into this game. If that makes sense
Please keep doing these developers react to speedrun videos.
They are really fun to watch.
Same, love the comments about running the physics simulator during resting at the campfire. And I enjoyed the control speedrun
Agreed, them being fascinated as they watch definitely gives a unique perspective
Outer Wilds is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL creation for anyone who enjoys exploration in the SLIGHTEST
I played this game as much as possible without going into dark bramble because it scared tf out of me, everything right after he went into it confused me so much
Natan Same!!
I did too, last planet I went too but it’s better that way because you really need to know how to pilot your ship and a little bit of other vital info too 😜
One of the best adventure games ever made! This game was transcendental game for me! It makes you ponder about so many deep questions about human existence, the Universe and Death itself. Thanks to the creative minds behind this game and honestly, I love the audio work for this game. It was massively outstanding! The team deserves every ounce of praise!
One of the best games I've ever played, got %100 with no help,spent a whole lot of time back tracking an looking at evidence but that ending won't ever be forgotten
Idk if the devs will see this, but thank you guys so much. This game was a masterpiece through and through and I can't stop myself from getting emotional even just watching this 1337 speed through.
My game of 2019, shame it can't be played twiced because you know everything once you finish.
Speedrunners beg to differ
I played it twice, I bought it on PC then PS4, I’d say it was more enjoyable the second time as I had time to process what was going on and I got the ‘true’ ending
@@callum6224 I mean.. It's certainly playable a second time. But I don't think it could ever come close to the experience it gives you the first time. That sense of wonder and curiosity is lost a second time. Idk what you mean by "time to process" since the game is played at your own pace as it is lol
I beg to differ
It's the same as doing anything twice like watching a movie
@@azanthal you dont need to complete a puzzle to watch movies, you have to complete puzzles to play puzzle games and once you know how to complete those puzzles it might as well just be a movie because its lost the entire definition of 'game'
*If you just clicked on this video and haven't played the game yet, pause the video and GO PLAY IT*
While a lot of the spoilers in this video don't provide any context, the game is best played completely blind.
An average at best ladder no
@@demoneon9527 Your loss bud
I haven't played it, and im still completely blind as too what i just watched, but it did look oddly cool.
I don't want to
I would love to but it costs money
the reasons this is my favourite game: music, sounds, artstyle, concept, movements, story, everything else
Nomai writings. Nomai writings are world building done perfectly
Seeing this game again... Even if it's a speedrun, almost made me cry.
It's crazy how much the speedrun has improved since then, one of them being skipping from the vessel to the center of the eye.
Would love to see a second video with them reacting to the current shipless any% which is also roughly 10 minutes and incorporates a bunch of new tricks.
When you think about it, this speedrun is only barely faster than half the time it takes for the longest run possible at 22 minutes, lol
Not exactly, it took them 2:31 to do something you have 22 minutes to do [Start of their last loop, to reaching the eye of the Universe], and in total did in 8:58 what most players take 30 to 45 minutes in total to do [Start of their last loop, to reaching the end of the game].
Here's why:
The first 2:11 of this speedrun is spent on the first loops to start the game and then unlock sleep, their actual last loops only starts then. Then, they reach the Eye of the Universe at 5:41 where time stops (well not really but you can safely watch the sun go supernova from there and still reach the vortex, where then time effectively stops) = [ 2:31 minutes to do something you have 22 minutes to do]
Then, for a regular player from the start of their last last loop at the campfire to the end of the game [minus credit] it takes most players about 30 to 45 minutes (I've watched many let's plays), which this speedrunner did in 8:58 total (11:09 minus the first 2:11 minutes) = [in total did in 8:58 minutes what most players take 30 minutes to do]
Not really, since eye of the universe doesn't seem to be timed
If you get to the eye then you can survive past 22 minutes. You can even see your sun explode from the eye. It’s really sad
@@lonelybookworm welll.. fair enough
This game is so unique and beautiful, it's one of my favorite games on ps4. I highly recommend to anyone who love mystery, exploration and areally amazing story. A 10/10 game for me.
I remember back in 2015 when I played this charming game in early access that had so much promise and potential. It's amazing to see how much has changed and how far the game's come
What's so sad about this game is that i'll never be able to play it again after discovering the truth... It's a one way journey
I think the experience is worth the price. It's like seeing a movie at the theater
@@x0scimy0x Well not really, cuz you can see all the movie again if you want, but here if you wanna replay the game you can just finish it in 20 minutes lol
There are other alternative endings that you might want to uncover. They're still working on the game and perhaps provide more endings/content in the future
@@SixShooter7 Technically, yes, but the actual game experience is many many hours. Nobody who just bought the game finishes it in 20 minutes.
@@SixShooter7 you could go for 100% ship log on a secod playthrough give it 5 years so you forget most of what you read and go about in a different order
10:40 Funny, saying YOLO on a game like this.
Well no Ash twin so yeah YOLO !!!
@@PC-gy5mj But he died twice before removing it.
@@RRW359 *Spoilers*
If you remove ash twin project you will die permanently and get one of the endings of the game. So it's now YOLO.
@@PC-gy5mj But by the time he removed it he already lived twice. YOLT?
@@RRW359HolyMoly. It was a funny comment and I extended the humor a bit so let it go. 😂
Watched the WR after this and DAMN they optimized Timber Hearth.
I like how he's talking about sleeping at the campfire will be trouble for speed runners while the speed runner has his time paused for the sleeping the entire time XD
Starts the time loop.
"Dormamu, I have come to bargain."
Outer Wilds is easily one of my favourite games. Super satisfying to discover its secrets! Can't wait to see what the devs do next.
This game is a masterpiece. A game where you can truly say the point is not the ending itself, it’s how you get there. Everything has been crafted and created to lead you through a mystery and story where the culmination is the implementation of ALL the knowledge you built throughout the game; and it’s beautiful. Cannot praise this game enough honestly.
No Time For Caution is the perfect soundtrack for this speedrun
That final anthem always gives me chills, thank you to the devs
This game was my number one of 2019, it’s such a beautiful story, only time I’ve ever teared up at the end of a game
"We made a really short game." Hey, if it's any consolation, _Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated_ got beaten in under FIVE MINUTES, ON DAY ONE. For comparison, the original version was brought down to 1h17m, _years_ after release...
This game absolutely blew my mind. I still haven't beaten it but the world's, physics and whole concept is what makes this game exceptional
They should now react to the record 8 minutes speedrun, its even crazier!
these speedrun videos are great. keep em coming, ign. Best thing on this channel in forever
I have absolutely no idea what I just watched, but I'm definitely going to be looking into this game.
It was my goty in 2019, definitely look into it
you just got all the spoilers, might not be with it now.
@@floatingpyro2050 It doesn't make sense, unless concentrated on real hard, and several other crucial mysteries are unsolved for new players.
Vk M fair enough, they were only spoilers off you have context i guess
@@floatingpyro2050 Can confirm, I didn't understand anything. Then again I was mostly listening to the devs talking about the speedrun community in the background. Wasn't watching the vid either.
Not gonna lie, this game is in my top 10 of all time. Not only do I love me some space exploration, but slowly uncovering the mystery of the Nomai species piece by piece was an incredible experience for me. Space, mystery, and time loops-what a combination. I cannot recommend this game enough.
Idk a thing about this game so watching this speed run is an absolute trip... and I love it
love this series. thanks for continuing it.
More to come!
I'm loving this new series. Keep it up!
From all of us here in the outer wilds speedrunning community. We are very touched you were thinking of us. :)
Watching this made me want to play this game, looks so trippy, not what I was expecting at all
it's a phenomenal game and i can't recommend it enough. they barely explored a fraction of the solar system in this video too
part of the joy of this game is the exploration and investigations of why all this is happening, I rly can't recommend this game enough such a unique experience
Imagine playing this game in VR while on mushrooms, lol.
DINKLEBERG?!!!
@@NeoPendragon Can you guys suggest similar game? Explorations and investigations in space?
Really looking forward to their next game! I hope they choose to take their time with it so they can blow my mind again! Thanks for the great game!!
Its really nice to hear developers be concerned about the speedrunning community while making certain parts of the game, shows how much they care about their players down to that small niche of them.
i didn't even realize the sleeping function was for that purpose ... :-/ i feel silly!
I love watching this game so I bought it for myself but once I took off into space I realized this game gives me intense anxiety especially the angler fish and the center of giants deep
Oh, a person just like me, who fears the vast emptiness of space and ocean. I'm thalassophobic, so giant's deep really freak me out
@@kojeta3200 If you want to be freaked out, try playing Subnautica. Its strangely terrifying even for people who don't fear the ocean or open spaces.
@@ManoredRed I've heard about it, but honestly, i'm kinda scared to play haha. Someday I will give it a try
kojo If you do play it, be wary of the crashed ship you escape from at the beginning of the game. You might find something... horrifying.
@@marcosharko8247 understood, i'll keep that in mind
This game is amazing, thanks for all guys
Really impressed with the devs love for speed runs. Dig these guys
I've been looking forward to a new dev reaction. Keep'em comin IGN
Okie dokie
Definitely game of the year of 2019 for me. I wish I could reset my memory and experience it again.
This game is like a Rick & Morty episode. “You take the Dwingle-Dworf and go through the Bligh Blop. But beware of the Nardle Glops as you’re trying to go through their nest on your way to the Tesseract dimension.”
This is a million dollar idea, getting devs to react to there own game speed runs make it possible IG!!!
"First thing he does is fling himself to his death... as we all feel like doing every morning"
Relatable AF
Reading these comments and thinking about my time with this game gave me chills. Phenomenal experience
Keep doing this series and push it even bigger for ultimate content
You got it
Just finished the game tonight, what... a.... great... game !!!
Thank you to all of you that made this game possible
I love that the first split is called "Die"
Getting the anglerfish to aggro so they are closer to the front so you can activate your boosters quicker is next level lol
Such a great series. I love hearing devs talk about things they didn't know where in the game
Me too!
Great video again from IGN and the devs, because we love it!
We love that you love it
@@mark_medina_ign4725 :))
@@mark_medina_ign4725 I am watching every speedrun commented by the devs.
I wonder how it feels for devs to see their years of hard work boil down to 10 minutes of content
I mean that’s one person. The rest enjoy the game. I would be proud if someone enjoyed the game so much they find a quick route to things.
@@mrinde7 I mean this person probably already played the game and obviously played it multiple times so
Generally, they seem to be amused by knocking off their umpteen hours of game in minutes, and impressed at the way speedrunners know the details and seams of their work.
Completing the game very quickly by already knowing what to do is kind of the point of the game, there's even an achievement for it.
I think it would be an honor for a group of people to spend countless hours playing my game and reading up on it so that they can know every last detail about it and play it optimally
>TFW You look for the eye of the universe for generations only to not find it.
>TFW Some random semi-aquatic four eyed person does it in 10 minutes.
The part with all the trees and galaxies floating around towards the end reminds me of Narnia a lot, in the first book they're in the "world between worlds" with all the trees and pools that lead to different universes/galaxies/realities.
I've been holding off to watch this until I finished this game. To anyone reading this I totally recommend this game especially if you wish to take a break form your standard choice. To the devs, if you ever read this, your work is marvelous, the grip on science while maintaining creative story telling was amazing.
Just finished this game yesterday. Go play it, it's one of the best games ever made
Hey you guys made a truly amazing and unique game.
Had the Main Menu of Outer Wilds open during this and not only do the Letters break apart, the Heat Death of the Universe also happens... i love these Details that most people will never see.
thanks for the 4 midrolls ign !!
Wow i love these devs they seem cool and this game is amazing
First the Outer Worlds speedrun, now the Outer Wilds speedrun. I see what you've done here.
It’s all coming together!
This game is in my top three favorite games ever. The devs did a phenomenal job!
I saw a speedrun where the person actually skipped the entire first section of the eye by flinging themselves through the vessel’s doors right as the black hole warped them away so that they were on the side with no collisions. They then used their scout gun to propell themselves out of the ship and into the planet (which i assume also didnt have collisions yet because they skipped the black hole) and down through those vortexes and into the next sequence.
It shaved off all that extra time it took to walk across the planet
Now I really want to play outer wilds. It did look awesome.
I've never even heard of this game but hey, that's pretty sweet.
Do yourself a service, buy this game and play it right now.
Alex you made a game that shines a light of hope
This isn’t getting enough attention and it’s genuinely the only videos on IGN that I watch. Y’all gotta help spread the word
We need a devs react to hollow knight or ori and the blind forest
“And I couldn’t even make it past the tutorial!”
You guys had me at the Cowboy Bebop reference!
Thanks for the video. Saved me money!
They gotta see the new speedruns, stuff like vessel clip and scout boosting is crazy
link best one
Here I am expecting some insane clip to get the core without waiting, but no, I just forgot about sleeping. Would've been nice to know when I just finished the game
Top game of 2019 easily. Game functions match story progression and exploration is everything. Usually space is large and terrifying but the character and vibe of the game make it so fun
Just finished the game after putting it off for months. Now i can watch the speed runs
We love Chert he’s the best.
Gabbro enjoyers beg to differ.
For all the devs out there that arent into speedrunning, the people doing the speed running will most likely have more hours in the game than any other player
I wish we had a way to turn on the dev tools to do the super speedy run they mention. Just glad they added 21:9 Ultrawide support for the Steam version, had to rebuy this game twice on PC since it was on sale
Man, I'd love to see them react to the echos of the eye speed runs and latest stats.
