Hey guys, I'm back from the land of lurking dead.

I've been starting speedrunning Dead Space 2 on my twitch on my days off from work and I achieved 3:11 on my very first speedrun (of any game, not limited to Dead Space)

One thing I noticed was that my previous  save data's we're corrupted on my ps3, so I'm SOL for a NG+. However I noticed that even on a new file on my ps3 profile that's already beaten hardcore. I had access to the Pew Pew Foam Glove.

That said, Question. Would a run be considered a NG+ run even if I'm not using a save file for a new playthrough with the Foam Glove? I'm assuming so since the system data has recorded that I've beaten Hardcore and has unlocked the Foam Glove across the board. Or would this be counted in a new category?
Thread title:  
As long as you don't purchase or equip anything that wouldn't normally be available to you if it were a brand new save file, you could still run Dead Space 2 under the rules of New Game.
To me it sounds like he wants to use the Foam Finger, so I guess it would be called NG+ or special weapons. Even if nothing else gets carried over, that weapon alone is quite a game changer.

Foam Finger playthroughs would be fun to run, however what category would it be considered under? NG+? Special Weapons?
it would be NG+
DERP
Figured as much, even without using a save.

Ten four rubber duckies. Will be working on my speedruns!

Got my third attempt at a good time. 1 bullcrap death in the marker laser room near the end.


Is the PS3 version in the same category as the Xbox360 for console version? If not i'll work on submitting a run for the PS3 version of the game.

Whats the current record for PS3 on Dead Space 2 NewGame+? I'm doing it on Survivalist difficulty and I think I'll take a record to go! 2:25 just achieved. I can easily hit 2:21 or 2:23 if I improve a few spots!

I don't run NG+ on any version so i can't tell you. but yes PS3 is treated the same as xbox360 in categories. to give you some comparisons, my PB on casual NG is 2:25:51 while on PB sahail got 2:14 on Hardcore NG (don't ever hope to come close to that on console)

Oh of course, I don't expect to beat PC times. Load times and aimming is far superior. No question. However I do want to try setting a console NG+ That's my goal.

I did find a few time savers that could benefit your times as well for the 360. Stop by my stream when I run and I'll show you some tricks i figured out
I haven't seen the run yet, but my friend and I finished out first playthrough of this game last night. We beat the final boss in like 2 mins by using Line Gun mines on the ground. It instantly took her out with 1 hit and then we just unloaded on the cell.  We beat her 2nd try with this method in 3 cycles.  I don't know if it is faster that what your current strat is or not, but there ya go if it is.

I'm pretty sure that this is the best strat



Hardcore difficult without Weapons  upgraded,
with nodes on contact beam is possible beat nicole under 10 seconds.

If there exists any link to view your run would be very useful, because trought get enought verifiers and encode the files could take months to send
the verification files.

Also, I have some strats for ng+ here "
Oh I don't run it, we just completed the game for the first time is all and found that strat. Yours obviously is much much faster, haha. Just figured I'd post in case mine was as I hadn't seen the run yet.
