United StatesPersonally I don't think there should be two categories that are 95% the same. I think either 120 or 60 should be the only choice.
Maybe make standard 120 fps and hardcore 60 fps since it seems like that's the way the majority of the runs have been done so far.
Personally I feel 60fps isn't different enough from 120fps. The knife is broken for both categories except 120 is a bit faster (maybe a minute, not 3 minutes). As a 60fps runner I'm saying 60 maybe shouldn't be a thing and instead a new category that avoids using the knife to attack introduced instead. Could be as simple as no knife swings, could be more restrictive like no sub weapons or handgun only. Obviously it will be a slower category but a lot of games have slower categories as their most popular categories. Why? Entertainment (for the viewers as well as the runners). Isn't the whole point of this have fun?
I don't know how much time it saves overall but I remember when me and Morse switched it was saving like 5ish seconds just on 1-1. 1-1 has very few loads compared to later chapters. Maybe a minute or two for the whole run. Maybe more.
I'm almost positive the consoles will be slower than PC even with SSD because I HIGHLY doubt there will be an option to lower the texture quality. That option makes a pretty significant difference on PC.
The locations and values of all treasures one could reasonably get in a speed run. The locations of all static (the guaranteed 100%) items one could reasonably get in a speed run. The cost of each weapon upgrade and how much you can upgrade it per chapter.
I'm still learning the game but I could provide any strats I've found for solo play if anyone cared about those.
