a couple weeks ago i finished this game in 21 minutes, i thought i'd share the run on this forum. Here's the playlist for my speedrun ... http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=129595C17E149403

that run is split into 18 segments.

Just yesterday i beat the game in a single segment in 22 minutes. Here are the links for the run (had to split it into 3 parts to put it on youtube) ...

PART 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY-8TL_-AMw&fmt=18
PART 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UZGIE0oGSQ&fmt=18
PART 3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1JJ8waX0Ic&fmt=18

thanks, i just recently got into speedrunning and it's just another way to enjoy a game. I like to take my time the first time i play something, and then i like to get 100% completion. After that, it's all about beating the game as fast as possible.

And i must say, LostWinds is a VERY fun game to speedrun. I'm going to do a speedrun where i get 24/24 of the idols ... haven't planned that route yet. Should be fun whenever i start working on it :)

Impressive stuff, I could probably speenrun Killzone 2 now, I tested it for 6 months so I have some practice!

I must say it is true that its another way to enjoy the game, I found that it's unusual the ways you can find to enjoy games that have a completley different purpose!

just curious ... could frontier include seconds in the game timer for lostwinds 2? when i was speedrunning lostwinds, it was difficult to keep track of exactly what time i had because it only displayed minutes. Will Frontier be doing this for the seconds game?

I don't think this is likely to change for the next game, their time is more likely to be filled with new gameplay :)

no doubt they're more concerned with new gameplay, but it doesn't seem like a lot of effort would have to go into adding a seconds timer. I mean, wouldn't it be like a 10 minute programing job to add it in? ... and it wouldn't take up any extra MB space.

Seems like it would be an easy upgrade to do that many people would be happy to see. Is there someone at Frontier who I could write to or email to suggest this change?

I am the person at Frontier you can contact to request this change :) I wouldn't say it won't be changed, just that it is much lower priority than other things the team would be working on.

oh, ok ... LOL. well then, i hope this is something that could be brought up to the Frontier team at some point ... maybe once the game has reached its finalized stages of development?

Over on the SDA forums there was a thread talking about in-game timers on shorter games, and how there's controversy on the site surrounding official timing of these games that only display minutes. As you can imagine, speedrunners would much rather have the seconds displayed next to the minutes. There is even competition in the non-speedrunning world to see how fast games can be beaten in, and i think this small change could be a good thing for LostWinds 2.

just a thought. i know it's not a high priority topic, but i believe this is a simple enough change that could realistically be implemented in the next installment of LostWinds ... i hope you guys can make it happen ;)

Hey Micheal ...

i gotta bring this back up again since new details of the sequel are now out ... LOOKS AWESOME!!! But yeah, i mentioned that it would be nice to include seconds in the game timer in an earlier post, and i wanted to bring it up again because it is something me and a lot of other people were hoping for in this sequel. Any news on this possibility??? I'm DYING to have this for the new game (super simple addition too) ... you just gotta put this in Micheal ... PLZZZZZZZ!!!!!!

:)

I'm not supposed to reveal anything about the game features, but in this case as it isn't related to gameplay I will make an exception. The game time does now show seconds as well.

I thought i'd bring up that i'm currently working on a new speedrun for this game. I found a new sequence break in the game that will help bring my final game time down to 0:19. That's right everyone ... i have found a way to beat this game in 19 minutes. 2 minutes faster than my current best. I'll post video links to the final speedrun when i finish ... in about a month.

Quite impressive, good luck matching it in Winter of the Melodias! :)

LostWinds speedrun in 18 minutes!!!!!

Well everyone, i finally finished my newest speedrun for the original LostWinds game. My final time is 0:18 and it beats my previous best time by over 3 minutes. I'll post videos of the run sometime within the next week.

Now it's time to move on to Winter of the Melodias ... but first i need it to be released in the US. That, or i could fly over to Europe and start playing it :) I can't wait to play this game ... i'm going to enjoy playing through it casually, and then i'll start see how fast it'll be possible to beat it in.

Thanks again Frontier for putting a seconds timer in the newest game ... that's going to make things so nice for speedrunning :)
