Yes.
UPDATE!!
I have spelled my name and gotten the first magic container. Am currently at entrance to second cave (jump spell).
I also plan on using Up+A warping. Is that "against the rules"?
I'll probably get started by speedrunning like normal, the hell out of the levels normally.
Hey, Wouter, got any general tips for that?
I can give some sound advice, to get started:
-Use control 1.2. It's faster (unless you're using CC), plus, I imagine 1.1 would be a bitch using keyboard and mouse. Though if you're doing this as single segment, you'll lose a little over five seconds at the Dam, to change the controls (unless they allow S-RAM with the control already changed)
-Use as much lookdown as possible,,, since this is a TAS, in theory you should only have to look up to kill guards/get items/shoot consoles and things. On the downside, watching the floor go by all the time would probably make for a boring vid,,,, personally, I like to see things going on, but I will acknowledge that this is a bit faster.
-Boosts. Get as many of them as possible, but not backboosts, obviously. If you survive the level with extra health remaining, you probably could've gotten more boosts somewhere,,,
-For fairly detailed write ups of most of the fastest strats, go to www.the-elite.net and find Goldeneye Strats Central.
And, if there's anything I can do to help with this, let me know! I have way too much free time, and I'd love to see a full run of "God" rampaging through this game.
Good luck with the TAS :)
Hello.
Ive been a longtime fan of this site, and this is my first post.
Been thinking about making a TAS of this game. I tried to do a run on console a couple years ago, and lost interest after my tenth or so try through the game. Work and university got in the way too.
Now, I'm livin' the goodlife of unemployment insurance,, and no university. Need something to do with all the excess time I have too! I have most of a run planned out as is. Also completed my first TAS not long ago (spelling my name in Dragon Warrior XD). I'm fairly confident I could do this game really fast.
Also, with regards to the level up glitch you mentioned,,,,
I remember having a game genie code from long ago (ten years or more O_O) that would reproduce that result without fail (enough experience to max levels and gain 4 extra lives). This would happen every time I killed an enemy,,, it must have been giving me negative exp for each kill.
Outside of game genie though, I don't recall having seen this happen. Two ideas Ive had are,, you somehow got hit by the moa twice, or maybe exp from a weak enemy like a slime was being added at the same time you got hit.
I think I'll experiment around a bit and see if I can reproduce this.
