Anyone play DuckTales Remastered yet? [locked]

For Fun! For GLORY!!

I got it for my WiiU yesterday the hour it was available, and I played it twice already. I wish I could've played it more, but other affairs and work is keeping me from it. I love it for what it is, because you can't compare it to the original NES game because they're pretty much two different games, but it's in a good way. :3

I legitimately want to make this my first speedrun game, and want to break the leaderboards for fastest playthrough. And if I can get consistent, might even offer it for a marathon. Just gotta learn to route and such. Sadly I can't capture it since I don't have the equipment, but when I do, I'll get some streams going.

But for now, get the game on whatever medium you have. Relive your childhood! Cheesy

Yeah man, it was amazing! I raced it yesterday and they have a online leaderboard for it! Unfortunately the best times are combined from all difficulties. So the only way to be sure is to beat the best time!

Which I will, but that's game time. Has anyone actually tried to time an RTA?

It was released less then one day ago, but here you atleast have the race times, those are RTA. First goal would to beat that. http://speedrunslive.com/races/game/#!/ducktalesrm/1

That could be doable. I know times are gonna go super low in the coming weeks. Sub 45 seems to be the goal right now.

My feelings on The Demon Rush

I tried this game a bit, and while I love the voice acting, there seems to be a bit of input delay in the controls (I'm playing the Steam version). Is anyone else getting that?

I said mine was WiiU, so there's not a delay that I found. I was a little off with the buttons since I kept thinking A was jump and not B... X3

Yeah I think it's a PC-specific issue, and only with certain people, because others have said they've had no input lag, and I remember playing a demo on the 360 version and there was no recognizable input lag.

Stupid Microsoft and their games per week limits for arcade. Sad

This is why I'm a Nintendo fanboy. Brb trying a casual speed run. Here's to sub 46! Cheesy

Blind raced this on steam. So much laaaaag and inputs dropped. Otherwise it was good. Probably not worth £12 for just over an hour of gaming.

Well I finished. RTA is 50:28, which is moment I got control to when I finished completely. I died 3 times and got crummy final boss luck, so there's room for improvement. Tongue

EDIT: But my Game time was 45:49, which is #1 on the leaderboard! Cheesy

I'm buying it now for Steam. Gonna play through it once, then do some major practicing with the game. Can't wait to play it.

Got some work to do, but be careful because as you've read, I guess the PC version lags input

Oh, and new deathless RTA: 48:12, and Game time: 43:40. I did it with two safety hearts too, so I can cut at least 20 seconds not getting them.

During VVVVVV I found that simply a different keyboard or using a joypad can help with dropped inputs.
I played the race with a PS2 to USB combo, dropped inputs really rarely but it is certainly annoying.
I would try turning down graphics and disabling double/triple buffering and vsync if nothing else helps.

Should try another run at some point though, I just hope that they add a mode to skip the cut scenes as mashing that constantly does get a bit annoying :/

You don't know you can skip cutscenes by pausing during them and selecting the option? It's not perfect, but it works.

I just got 46:29 on Extreme, 48:02 ingame time (maybe it counted the scenes before the credits... i didn't). Real fun game to speedrun Cheesy

I don't think it counts cutscenes for in-game. So it seems strange that you'd get a higher game then an RTA. Were you playing on PC?

Yep PC, though i didn't skip the in game cutscenes before the credits so thats probably what tacked on some time.

We're using 2 threads for the same game. I suggest using this one: https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/new_gen_duck_tails_26.html#new_gen_duck_tails_51-

Read up on my PC timing posts, there's something strange going on there.
