Max Payne Speedrun - DoA difficulty - [ 

There was something disturbingly familiar about the letter before me. The handwriting was all pretty curves. "You're in a speedrun, Max" The truth was a blazing green chasm in my head. Running past my enemies, rolling to my destinations, using glitches to reach impossible speeds and heights. I was in a speedrun. Funny as hell, It was the most horrible thing I could think of.

Most efficient cop ever

12:58 - when you are such a fast speedrunner you litrally run past your own character with your own character

31:38 I love that scene where the two blonde spooks kill that technician and go "I think he's dead already". They shoot forward for about fifteen seconds and never change their aim to account for the victim being dead and not standing up anymore. They're even aiming above their eye level. They've got these angry looks on their faces while they unload full mags in to thin air. Looks ridiculous.

Wait. At Rosco street station you can save the security guy who opens the door?! My entire life has been nothing but lies.

The fight against Lupino was priceless.

44:46 you made the true perfect ending there, I love how the corpses are all over the place and Max is the only survivor :)))

This speedrun just turned my entire childhood upside down. Insanely impressive.

You truly know Max Payne 1 extensively. Such a true masterpiece of a game for its time...

25:35 "It didn't take me long to run into the trio" Very true statement

19:30 thats not how you play hide and seek Max

My childhood has been ruined… I must have spent weeks constantly playing this. Such an awesome game and an awesome speed run. Kudos!

Ragnarok just made me cry.

9:45 "Trust me, you don't want - ICE!"

Of all the speedruns I have seen, I feel like this is the one that requires the most knowledge of the game to be accomplished. Awesome run dude, it's unfortunate you didn't do one for Max Payne 2, that would have been awesome to see.

Oh God, this video brought back great memories. Hearing the voice of Max Payne and the whole audio of the game brought tears in my eyes. Such a great, great game.

There was something disturbingly familiar about the letter in front of me. The handwriting was all pretty curves. "You're in a RU-vid video Max." The truth was an icy green chill in my brain. Constant inane babble, screams of rage when I die and return that aren't from me, constant freezes in time while the video buffers. I was in a RU-vid video. Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

One of the most impressive speed runs I've ever seen.

9:10 It's all ok guys, I'm passing through... xD

You did an amazing job, this blew my mind. 👏🏻

Great speedrun, congrats

Incredible run! So much optimization it's like poetry. :) keep it up!

This is so messed up, this is blowing my mind

Some of the stuff done in this video is unbelivably impressive, well done!

This is incredible, one of the best speedruns of all time.

Hey, I wanted to tell you that I truly thank you for everything you've done for Max Payne speedrunning. You certainly inspired me to push boundaries while speedrunning it. I'd love to talk with you if you're active on here!

Been watching RU-vid videos for ten years and this is my first comment... because this is the greatest thing I've ever seen

10:12 That blew my miiiind.

19:31 - FAIL!

Lol why do the enemies just watch him run past them

Glitching or not, this is awesome! I forever give you props.

@1Ridd3r Wonderful. I admire your runs, it's amazing what you squeezed out of this game. i thought this game was done with your last run, but you couldn't let it go ;) I will enjoy the commentary ones it has been posted. cheers and keep being that awesome!

16:28 wtf? he's flying man!!

Really impressive stuff. Great job!

41:13 Was that a flashback or something? :D

cut ridd3r some slack. people griping about bugs and glitches should really look up summoningsalt’s videos...he documents the history of certain games’ speedruns and the subsequent speedrunners who defined the history of those games online. people don’t understand I think how difficult it is to perfect glitches and bugs within a game to perform them as perfectly as ridd3r or many other speedrunners do. glitches and warps are accepted for most games and given their own category in speedruns, so it’s not cheating by any speedrunning standard either. what ridd3r did is pretty fucking cool and I’m sure took hours of gameplay...Thanks for sharing this with us. I couldn’t sleep and wanted to rewatch gameplay of one of my favorite childhood games and I got to see this amazing spectacle because of it. Kudos to you and all the work you put into it

11:32 fucking badass

in train cutscene he fell - because tre train pushed him, smth like that. So, that was enough damage for max to die. But you can't die in a cutscene, so we have the walking dead, and enemies think that you are already dead

dude, you're awesome! cant imagine this game is possible to complete in 25 mins even 42. fukken came! 1st and 5th levels are just epic

this was so good and nostalgic! thanks

That Ragnarok run was amazing. Jumping around like Albert Wesker

Perfect speedrun, thanks a lot

3:54 YAAAAAAY 4:08 wait...

9 years later and still can't wrap my head around this

Woooow,ridd3r,men it was really good!!!

Because I skipped their trigger zones, usually by super jumping.

High Jump had never been so useful in vidya before. Amazing speedrun man

yeah, just forget about it! hey, forget about it. Just forget about it.

Great! I really enjoyed watching this video

Good job man!

27:31 damn, I was sleeping when this loud scream came up. That was scary as shit😳

@HuskyTdC I was skipping a cutscene. It occurs there because I skip the killer suits at the mona cutscene. The killersuits end up running into the laser fields for some reason.

19:22. " all I had was Niagara's bat, sticky with my own blood." *the way he says blood in haste*

This was an awesome run. And the very end I cracked up, because I knew everybody liked to blow themselves up at least once :)

17:20 "I'm the wolf@-$-&- *cuts off*

Max Payne Legend right here.

By nullifying the greatness of the story, I now grant you the "Genious" title! Jokes aside, this is really genious. Like if i read the whole Harry Potter franchise in an hour or two. "...then he kills Voldemort, then he arises and again..."

@zackyee1 No it's not a TAS, this run specifically took me about 130-150 hours. Obviously I've done other runs etc. and spent more time than that on this game.

Wow cool video bro 😮

very nicely done, gg

A fantastic game, revolutionary.

great stuff i never knew the game had so many glitches

I was wondering if there is a time for a no-glitch speedrun. I am interested in trying a time in this category of run.

Great game, best speedrun!

They are somehow like slanderman.. if you don't look at them, they don't shoot

You saved the door opener guy!

Rolling is significantly quicker for pro2 & pro3, I've tested it several times. You can skip several cutscenes in pro1, but super jumping skips all but one and saves a couple of seconds on the stairs. Unless you're saying you can skip that cutscene?

Played this so much back when I was coming out of high school/starting college. Don't know how I could get so much done and still play hundreds of hours. Good times.

I just finished the game for the first time and noticed that you seem to get boosted when strafe running off the edge of an object into the air and I'm surprised it isn't abused more in a run. Am I incorrect about the benefit? Or does the jumping to get onto an object and the landing animation afterward or something else negate any benefit that would be gained? Also I thought rolling while pointing the camera up rather than down in the dream sequence seemed faster, am I incorrect about that too?

Those dream sequences scared the absolute fuck out of me when I was younger.

@FatGingerKid5 It has been verified and accepted, just waiting for it to be posted (should be next PC update). I don't cut off anything relevant. All saves and reloads are shown, I just cut out the messing around in between.

Holy fuck that was badass! 👏🏼

@iliasemmanuil Commentary is done, run has been verified. Just waiting on it being posted now.

You are also playing in cutscenes

25:50 I lol'd.

The one game im BEGGING for a REMASTER

9:57 my words exactly to the idiots standing around and max is literally a sneeze away from dying

Is it possible to break Remedy's par time without using those glitches?

Damn, this is impressive.

Does the AI decide not to shoot at you when you are not facing/walking towards them with low HP?

"My Lady! "My Lord?"

cant believe this game is already 17 years old... the game had mind blowing graphics for 2001 game.

37:45 "WHAT THE HELL!?!" Literally dude what the hell?

OOOH now it makes sense! BTW, did you use a macro for super jump? How did you get it so consistent? Because my macro only works maybe 30% of the time at 60 fps.

Sorry I'm not a speedrunner, so I'm not sure about terms like "pro2" and "pro3" but anyway I was referring to the cutscene that appears at 18:13. A jump into the living room will let you skip the trigger for that cutscene, so it doesn't even appear. But it'll be slower than your roll + save glitch. Just thought you might want to know...

Where's the shooty, shooty, bang, bang from enemies?

I don't know how you were able to get past the blood trail dream sequence but props

This was just filthy

Dat Lupino fight...

How are you able to run with little health?

I was just speculating, in the video I saw that you usually switched weapons and used bullet time whenever you highjumped so I thought that's how it worked, I was wrong tho, can you tell me how you do it?

Just re-watched it again and I love it as much as I did the first time I saw it.. Anyways do you have any other MP Speedrun project in mind?

Can I find speedrun without cheats

Are you going for a better time than this with the DoA difficulty, or are you gonna settle with this?

What happened in the last scene please explain

@1Ridd3r look what version because i tried it alot and i only could record vids of 30 secs long :( how do i fix it?

Why aren't the enemies shooting at you?

Its looks like matrix not max payne. :)

Why arent the enemies attacking him

I don't remember enemies having this stormtrooper-worthy aim XD
