I have completed the new york part.
This game is hard to tas. That rival mission was a nightmare.
A couple of things i've discovered while making it, in the first event, I didn't know you could boost. And I didn't know that hitting the bus would "save time" by lowering the timer to end the mission faster. Its funny because the game says you lose time by hitting the bus. But that just means less time to get that score. As long as you reach the target, you're good. This wasn't used until dynamite.
I wanted to use the stock car all throughout new york but at the last race, this wasn't going to happen. The cars were way too fast and I had to purchase the dragoon and upgrade it fully.
You can't just get ahead of the car and have it push you. It will send you flying instead and good luck controlling the vehicle after that.
No one has any speedrun of this game and for good reason. Its frustrating to RTA. There is an individual new york run on speedrun.com but its using a new game+ mode and has everything unlocked. Its longer because they have to do the "extra" missions that become once you beat the game.
Holy hell! I thought of TASing this myself, nice to see someone actually step in for the challenge! I will be following this with great interest. How many rerecords was that?
Yeah that seems pretty low. There's already some places where I can see improvement, like in the first mission. It's better to do nothing after reaching the required score so that you don't get unnecessary lag. Also, can you show me where hitting a bus can remove time from the timer? I've only seen that happen with the oil tankers in Dynamite, and can't seem to get it to work myself.

Yeah, I tested that in the Vegas segment. It doesn't work. I just thought it would apply there too.
Vegas has over 400 rerecords and im not even halfway through.
So if you stop when you reach the desired score, it ends? I didn't know that.
I didn't say that. All I said is that if you continue to get for points when you don't need them, you can get lag (from explosions and such) and lose time that way.

Update over here: losing motivation to finish this.. its so repetitive.. The first city is probably the most interested as you have a lower level vehicle to work with.
Although that same thing can be said about a lot of games out there..
