This is cool concept. If you ever do it again, I’d say to try and do the any% Super Metroid. Either way, super cool way to visualize this sort of data. Edit: if it’s possible depending on how deep you’d end up going, it might be interesting to place on the screen when certain famous techniques are discovered and how that changes things.
This TAS-run alone showed us nearly every single hidden path and secret area with the distant camera view. Safe to say, we missed out on a lot of it, and are probably going to hit these levels up to get there :D 44:54 is going to be my first stop. Thank you 10+ years later :)
I'm looking forward to playing the new "Beyond Shadowgate" 2024 game. It is 5 times longer I think. When I saw it on Kickstarter I couldn't wait to get a copy. Looks like it's going to be great, I thought the original "Beyond Shadowgate" was okay for the TurboGrafx CD, it has same name, but other than that it is supposed to be totally different. Based on the planned sequel that got canceled. I even enjoyed the N64 game "Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers" But I was so bad at music I wasn't able to finish the puzzle near the end without writing or calling the Nintendo help line. The player had to play the musical sequences in the proper order. I was only able to beat "Impossible Mission II", that had a similar music puzzle, by using save states.
Nice video man! Definitely helpful to be able to understand how everything developed in real time, something that was impossible to do irl while the event was unfolding. 👏
I see you're now dabbling into infographic videos. Interesting. If you're looking to do more, maybe a sample-size comparison of the speed (via pixels traveled) of various video game player-characters? Or comparative sizes (by pixels) of different games you've covered on the channel? Those are probably harder to do though than just pure 'data' so to speak.
Those are some great ideas, thanks for sharing! I do want to keep pushing myself further into new concepts/visuals and it feels refreshing to try new things too.
Fantastic game. Up there with Zelda and Ghouls and Ghosts in my opinion. Played this as a kid in the early 90s and played it again recently. Got further now than I did when I was a kid. Great levels, great music, and great gameplay. Very underrated game.
Rygar was awesome. As far as I'm concerned Rygar, Zelda II and Kid Icarus had a Medieval fantasy feel that still left you guess. They weren't so complicated where they answered all the questions you might have had in the back of your mind. Like a unresolved story they left you with your own added imaginations. Ghost and Goblins kinda too. And if you want to go back few more years Atari's game Adventure as well. Great video Post 📫 thanks😼
Was a very fun event! GGs to all participants, and congrats on 856 beaten games to all my fellow participants! Thank you BestofNES for hosting this event.
We have a tracking sheet with several data points for each submission including Game Title, Player Name, Duration, etc. This video was generated with a few scripts built from that data. The time chosen for those 2 seconds of each clip came from a simple formula (Duration / 2) to get footage from the halfway point. The challenge in creating this compilation came from developing a workflow to transcode each clip into a common format that allowed combining all of them together without issues. Since every player who participated has their own individual streaming settings (not to mention different VOD locations like Twitch Clips, Twitch Highlights, RU-vid Videos), things like video size, frame rates, and sample rates all had to be standardized. I also normalized audio levels and burned in text overlays somewhere in the middle of this workflow. Once all of that was figured out, I had a fully automated process from start to finish! I just waited for the event to end, then ran the scripts and I was done. The only video editing I did was for the intro/outro
This is by far the most interesting level in Metal Storm. I wonder if the majority of the games hard drive and resources were devoted to this level? Rockman never tried this in any robot master stage.
856 games hmmm They have a "Nintendo Screen Saver" which you can put labout 16 maybe games playing at the same time. in a way / video/ yet when you click on a game you play at that spot. now no need to pay but a bigger screen and more windows to have 64 games on screen playing form sart to finish would be interesting. or to have a sample like that what you had. So your 4 second video of each game on screen to have 54 games to be split at 4 segments can show it all within 16 seconds. :) Most would not see that but thanks for the achieve. Also VGmaps has so many maps i tried to excel spread sheet to see how many pixels big the one category of maps was which was bigger than Manhattan. (I forgot which one now) I didn't complete it and gave up a few years ago since the site is a bit messy in its order to extract info as easy. I saw no gain to do it so I didnt bother. But in short its too big to see it all in its proper resolution.
