Bulletstorm: Echoes Run?

Ok so if you have played bulletstorm you know its over the top and full of epic and yadayada.

My question to those of you have played it do you think a speed run of all the echoes mode stages would be viable for a speedrun?

The levels vary in enemy numbers and difficulty, now par times and stuff aside what do you think would also make this challenging for a potential run? im aware the unreal engine can be quite buggy to say the least so there may be problems there.

It would certainly be viable, but perhaps boring. Most echoes would involve running past the enemies to the end of the level.

well thats what i mean should i go for any percent fastest time or like 3 stars on all?

because the thing is with bulletstorm it shares a common feature with Call of Duty 4 in that if you run ahead you get shot in the back so running ahead isnt allways the plan

well tbh 3 stars would make it a little more interesting to watch i mean you need to vary the skillshots in order to rack up enough points

Quote from Obikashi:

i doubt that. mostly you get enough points for the 3 star rating, with time bonus.
A solution might be two different categories even though the time difference might be minimalistic.

well if your going for lowest stars fastest time you might as well just run past 9/10 enemies

OK so i downloaded your runs, they were impressive however there are some things i picked up on.

Me and Evu were in skype discussing the run as i was attempting to better them so him as my witness (cause i didnt record >.>) here are my times

Desert. 1:36 + 22
Hideout. 3:10 + 14
Club. 2:04 + 6
Rooftops. 2:27 - 7
Marina: 1:35 - 20
Forbidden zone. 1:32 - 27
Park: 1:39 - 28
Collapsed Building: 2:00 - 46
monorail: 3:38 -1:33
Mall: 3:39 -1:48
Downtown: 0:16 -1:48
Storm: 1:56 -1:49
Spaceport: 0:59 -1:56
Jumpship: 2:05 -2:03

So as you can see i managed to shave off some 2 minutes, and im not even a good bulletstorm player by any means, i find the first level to be what sets me back

the first level depends much on luck, when you dont kill everyone at the gate with the detonation you properly will lose much time.
Your spaceport sounds pretty good.

anyway if you want we could fill a table together.

i like where this is going we could colab this and put our heads together to make a pretty fast speed run of the echoes

Are there any level which you want to work on?
your spaceport time look pretty maybe you could try to finalize that.

2 new times
The Desert 1:09 (i got a lot of luck there because the detonation killed all enemies so i easily can move on, but the enviro mental missed one so i lost some time there. all in all it can be improved)
The Hideout 2:42 (dunno if this is optimal, check it yourself maybe you know a possible improvement http://www.gamefront.com/files/20158131/The+Hideout.mp4 )

I think the 0:16 can be declared as final.
