Shadow of the Tomb Raider Developers React to 48 Minute Speedrun 

This series will single handedly save the channel

Alternatively: Tomb Raider Devs roast their own game for 48 minutes straight.

Me:(glitches through map)"oh, the game glitched. Better restart." Speedrunner:"Its free realestate"

It’s funny how the Dev’s point out things that we would’ve thought like “ that shipping container is right on time” or “there’s always a couple birds waiting for you to traverse a ledge” it’s great to see that they can laugh at their work

The devs poking fun on their own game was great

"That took so long to tweek" as his soul leaves his body xDDD

"when the kid dies, you get exp" HAHAHAHHAHA

"Shes going to a coastline, trying to get to a dig site that she hasn't heard about"

I really hope the " Devs react to speedruns " series keeps going, these are amazing. :)

Most fascinating thing to be is that I completed this game twice and never ran into a single bug or glitch.

beating the entire game without spoiling the plot is amazing

This entire video just explains how my grandparents got to school everyday

These devs actually know what's going on in the speedrun. This is amazing.

i love how they keep getting him credit for what he is able to pull off, and their humor is funny too. like.

8:58 For a sec, the guy's laugh syncs with the Spacebar icon shining

Me - "47 minutes! I can't watch that whole thing"...20 mins in - "omg this is amazing!"

I love how genuine and joyful the devs were.

Best dev reaction ever. Half of these videos consist of devs justifying glitches and bugs while beating themselves up. But these guys are just having fun.

"Walking towards a dig site that she didn't hear about to find an artifact that we're not sure she knows what it is" yeah that sums up how sequence breaking fits into the narrative.

"Is there no music there?" Pounding on a window underwater seems a lot more impactful without music.

This video is sponsored by: Reload Checkpoint.

I like how they’re making fun of the writers. Like with the obvious dialogue.

These speed runs are honestly love letters to the devs. The time and passion invested into learning something like this...I love seeing devs excited about this type of thing. Being able to crack jokes and enjoy it is the right attitude imo.

By far my favorite episode. These devs are so chill and know how to make a joke.

I love these Devs nitpicking all the odd logics in the game.

23:04 “that took us so long to tweak” and he just runs right through it

😂 "No eels were hurt in the making of this game, btw." "Correct."

i bet the devs are patching all the glitches after watching this lol

The XP when the kid falls was a hilarious thing. Love this vid

"Originally the plane was underwater, but nobody saw it" Wish they would release a stand alone Tomb Raider game based on this issue. No story. Open world. Full of hard AF secrets and puzzles. No hand holding.

It may have been a speed run, but the amout of time it took him to get this route down-pat, and practice it a few times, I'd like to know how long _that_ took. This isn't as easy as it looks.. not even close. Great job. The devs should get this guy on as a tester.. seriously.

I love how much they critique their own game, so genuine devs

This speedrun commentary thing is the first thing in a long time that's worth watching on your channel.

I love how they are just having a blast watching this, not upset, no aggression, just laughing at how this guy did/found it all

Having played this game and struggled heavily with the combat/stealth sections, watching this amazing speedrunner just blaze through them with such grace and ease is making me so impressed that I'm mad. Truly amazing stuff.

27:46 Brendan Fraser plays Robotman in DC's Doom Patrol. It's great. Also, he's been free of the 50k a month Alimony since last year. Just thought anyone who doesn't know would like to know.

To answer the question about the Airwalk at 20:49 you know you have the glitch activated when you see Lara holding the grapple hook. On the failed attempts, she isn't holding it, but on the successful attempt, she has it in her hand. Also, to activate the glitch, you must grapple a ledge on the SAME FRAME you land from a jump.

I love how they make fun of some of the stuff they made. Not taking themselves too seriously.

Nice seeing how wholesome and friendly the Devs are. Gonna finally play this game series.

"What ever happened to Brendan Frasier" THIS DEV ASKING THE REAL QUESTIONS

IGN I just want you to know, I love this series. Whoever idea it was, it was great. If it was a team's idea, great team effort.

Haha, when he said how the level developer shouldn’t see this.

This is probably the best series I've seen posted on this channel. Keep them coming. They're super entertaining.

i planned to look at just a few minutes at this...ended up enjoying the whole thing :) Great job i want more episodes of devs reacting to the speedruns!

I love this series. Finally something from IGN that I actually enjoy.

Lol reminds me of when The Outer Worlds developers reacted to a 12 minute speedrun. Developers reacting to speedruns should be a new series if it isn't already !

26:56 Dev : *talking about how hard it was to be able to get the feathers not clipping trough any NPC* Horn of the mask : "Ha-Ha ! You forgot about ME !!!" > *Goes trough an arm*

22:50 "That took us so long to tweek..." You can actually feel the pain in his voice....

22:20 It's cool to see them say "How does that work?"

ign finaly hit gold with this series, best thing in a long time from them

“You’re not gonna make it” “He gone”

There should be a playlist for this because i always struggle to find all the Devs react to speedrun

Watching a speedrun is always so calming to me. Just someone breaking the boundaries and breaking the game. :3

Best one yet! Really loved this... Thank you for making this happen, IGN!

i find it really nice cause i suddently started searching on youtube, speedrun react, i watched most of the videos they were, and really loved the psychonauts one, and then ign started uploading these, great.

The flood level through the town with all the destruction was so beautifully designed. They created an amazing level there. very immersive.

"Not everything is about you Lara!"

These devs have the most hilarious commentary xD

16:18 The homage to Indiana Jones was a nice touch by the devs. Glad to see it in the game.

I've really enjoyed this whole series, but this is absolutely the best one so far. I love how knowledgeable and enthusiastic these guys were. Their tendency to laugh at themselves and the situation as well as give genuine credit to the runner's more impressive moments really makes this stand out.

I love this series! Keep it up IGN!

Love this game, it's so cool to see devs watching someone so passionate about their games.!

5:36 Dev laugh Also dev: next update, we will patch this bug

i really appreciate the time developers take to watch and commentate about speedrunners. its a new huge wave of gameplay thats shaking up the gaming industry. its nice to see that effort acknowledged

The most amazing thing about all of these speedruns and testament to the devs I guess, is that the game still functions despite being broken at every opportunity by the speed runner.

please keep this series going on

Never was a fan of speedruns, but with dev commentary it does work even for me :D Keep it up!

this is a great series, i really hope to see more of these!

this is one of the best in the series, commentaries are gold

I like how they can poke fun at their own game and have a laugh. Great guys.

We need more of this, This is one of the best series in this channel

These guys were super cool. It was an awesome ideia to have the narrative director in such a story driven game, I hope they keep doing this.

The way the speedrunner goes up the cliffs would make even a skyrim horse proud

Just a little insight into "what happened to Brendan Fraser"!? He is actually currently voicing Cliff Steele/Robotman and portrays him pre-accident as a guest star in Titans, and reprises the roles as a series regular in Doom Patrol.

Those guys are extremely cool! Was fun listening to them! And congrats to that great run!

Definitely need more videos like this. I always wonder what the developers think of speedruns and this is hilarious

Amazing title. Just reached 100% overall trophy completion a few days ago which includes the ones for the 7 DLCs. Hope they’re gonna make a new one in the near future, maybe for the nextgen.

I really love this series. It's hilarious to "see" the reactions of the devs to their game being broken to this extent. ...I just really want to see the OoT devs react to the sub-10 OoT ACE WR, even though I know it probably won't ever happen.

Devs were really amazing really made it fun to watch the whole thing!!

theses guys are so chill, great video

Watching speedrun while the devs comment about it , i actually enjoy it .

16:19 - 17:15 Is like what the hell... I just can't stop laughing

I just beat this game today. Really enjoyed it! Thanks guys and wish you'd make another one!

That was awesome... absolutely loved the commentary by the devs. hard to believe how much is skipped.

"Al pacino's dead" 😂 these have by far been some of the most entertaining devs in the whole series! Kudos to these guys!

The trick with speed running is there is almost ALWAYS some element of true mastery of key parts of the game the run requires. This means it is much harder to hold a record, because you will always have a possibility to shave off a few seconds from anywhere someone else has less than total mastery of unavoidable original parts of the game. This also requires people to iron out the gameplay and the sequence of events. No speedrunner is not a avid fan and player of the game they speedrun or exploit. It is a higher form of appreciation for your work, if anything. Devs should be honored when someone tries to break their game to be the best. ;)

awesome idea for a series. keep them coming!

Please keep this series going. I love it

These two react better than any other speed run reaction video.

The video, the Devs and th comment section! This entire experience was gold.

watching these videos really shows you the broad spectrum of feelings that game developers have for runners

IGN, devs reacting to speedruns (or anything they could react to) is awesome. Keep going!

I love how self-aware they are about their games :D

Theme of the run: "Ahhh hes going to miss the sequence where..."

Thank you so much IGN for bringing us this awesome format frequently!

this is so fun to watch. i love their humor and it's clear how much they care about their game. :)

The XP bug about the falling kid was too funny

"Evening Ralph." "Evening Sam." You devs...I really appreciated that nod and had previously made a quick RU-vid video about your nod to Looney Tunes.

That was fantastic to hear the dev commentary

Love this series so much! Keep it up please
