This New GoldenEye 007 World Record Is UNBELIEVABLE! 

Oh no the dark side 😱😱

No.

Oh boy.

commenting this early after the upload is a W, since I'm pretty sure no one has even seen the advertisement in the video yet

no

Wouldn’t have it any other way

absolutely legendary

I would watch a breakdown of every Goldeneye level by this guy, I love his passion for it. I grew up playing Goldeneye, but watching the current speed runs are incomprehensible to me, a painfully shy Bond yeeting grenades everywhere and somehow completing all the objectives. So now at least I know what's going on during the Runway level and can appreciate the insane skill of the runners

After all, the shorter the run, the greater the skill required.

The details about the evolution of the strategies and the kinds of processing involved (in terms of the software and human analysis) is what makes it a valuable learning experience for non-speedrunners. Watching the evolution of optimization techniques in a wildly different field helps provide abstract lessons. It is the detail that makes his videos worth watching. If he could get even more detailed (such as on the evolution of specific techniques), I would find it even more valuable.

I think I will do more goldeneye content this year. I have some good ideas.

@@karljobst I can't wait!

Well he DOES have an untied GE record xD

@@karljobst how about more personal stories about your own WRs? We can feel your passion through the screen, love hearing about your quests. THANK YOU for your hard work, LEGEND

@@raverpoker i will do one on me soon I think. When my last untied gets tied.

“Horror. Eldritch Horror.”

I love this. Imagine this being done as an inside joke in a Bond movie, and about five nerds in the audience totally getting the joke and the rest of the normie audience just thinking it's bad moviemaking.

@@OuterGalaxyLounge that could be the situation at the beginning, bond just totally destroying a villain, before getting the mission that the movie is actually about.

...and then five minues after being built... And then one minute... And then 33 seconds... And then 28 seconds... And then 27...

@@CainXVII Ah, Mr. Bond, you absolute legend

Ayy my boy jrose. Agree with you on everything you wrote

Came here for Golden eye content, was surprised by the most awesome Pokémon challenge Runner

same thoughts. never played goldeneye but these videos he puts out make me care about the records by explaining well. also love your vids jrose

Best ways to save time on Runway: Guard Boost Grenade Boost Jrose11: But what about BADGE BOOST?!

Redo all your Pokemon challenge videos, but with the FireRed/LeafGreen games. By the way, your Pokemon videos are one of my favorite things to watch! Can't get enough of that "Rival Fival"!

Too bad it was in the thumbnail

@@ciaranpatrick6859 That doesn't matter. You can appreciate the fact that "some" WR was beaten, but Karl tells you the story and mechanics behind all that so that you really know what big feat that is.

A

Exactly man, it's impressive whether you've even played the game or not, as the full story is told. I don't play games anymore, was never a serious gamer and have never even considered speed running let alone have even the remotest talent for it... Yet I watch all of the content on this channel, and through it other speed running and gaming channels as well. My missus thinks I'm mad ha ha, but for some reason I just seem to like it. That's a sign of well done content.

I also think it's a good way to work up to the harder strats

Standing on the shoulders of giants.

@@BuIIetBiII Didn't know you were into speedrunning as well. So between arguing with literally insane people (flat earthers), you play old games fast... Interesting.

For sure! In order to understand how we got to the 27 it's absolutely important to know what came before.

@@alkestos the earth is flat

It's a paradox. The year is 2122. Speedrunner Joey Anders has just pulled off the first negative 0:01 run, breaking causality and thrusting his consciousness back in time to when the devs were designing the level. His influence and ideas of what must occur lead the devs to unwittingly include a box of superfluous grenades in the level. The cycle continues without beginning or end; Only the grind to lower the time remains.

@@Chance57 🤣

@@Chance57 You just made my day 😂👍🏻

@@Chance57 Very realistic future world record (Lmao).

you wake up one day to see the speedrunning community split into two. time-travelling gamers begin to claim run times of -1 year, beating game after game in 0 seconds a year before the games even begin development :o

That's a pretty terrible mistake to make by BOTst.

I think it was the combination of the first grenade boost, guard boost, look down, and tighter lines

The lack of a boost was the first thing I noticed as well. In general the runs seem to end with a lot of health, so even more boosts could shave time off. Whether there is enough to get a 26 though is probably unlikely, but it would be cool to see a deeper analysis by someone more knowledgeable.

Yeah, I was shocked Karl didn't mention the difference maker. It felt like a big lead up to an unexplained ending. I think he gives us too much credit...

​@@greasyguido Same why did he not explain the last run lol? Kinda makes the whole video obsolete.

Yeah I've thought in 100 years there will video game museums where these people's names will be listed and replays available

This is why I love the world record progression videos by summoning salt and bismuth. On the backs of giants.... 🎮🍍

Not particularly practical for a content creator…

@@GhostDriver87 I might be able to with some of my 3D and programming background, though yes would be difficult to get accurate particularly.

@@JackieRabbit5 Would be very cool if someone could map this out for a Karl video

Yeah dude that’s a LOT of work to get right, and not really plausible.

Not gonna lie, that sounds like a laborious ball ache and a half. Painstakingly working out exact locations and drafting the equations then triple checking variable inputs, yeah nah, I don’t know much about physics and statistics but I guess enough to know you couldn’t pay me a serious wage to do that.

what the dog doin

I hear that line, I click like on the video. I'm a simple woman like that.

@@LostTimeLady how does that work?

He started the speedrun content bc he broke dam 52. That's probably the biggest break he will accomplish. Then he gave glory to all the other unsung heroes and struggles he had been keen on for years. He was still on the grind, but it quickly became about putting spotlight on others' great achievements. It's just great content and it shows maturity in wanting to collaborate and celebrate more than just be the best. Karl seems like a really humble dude. It's sick his channel went from nothing to over 600k subs in like 4 years. Hard work pays off.

@@penguinjay I agree. Thanks for the additional info because I didn't really get into speedruns until I discovered this channel. I like the more humble and grounded RU-vid channels over the bombastic over the top insincere nonsense.

I remember my friend's dad stealing the N64 to play it. I didn't mind watching because the graphics were so nice.

@@volvo09 Me watching my friend play Goldeneye in 1998: "There's no way video games can ever look more realistic than this"

this changed the perception of games based on movies entirely. Up until this point, it was a safe assumption a game was mediocre to complete trash if it was a movie based video game, especially if it tied in to a recent release. Rareware changed the whole landscape w their labour of love.

I tried playing Goldeneye again last year, it hasn't aged well at all. Loved it as a kid.

@@doogallas tbf games have much more graphics than they actually need nowadays. Sometimes it distracts from the actual game

It has been announced for switch and Xbox Xbox version won't even have MP the switch version I believe is just goldeneye on the n64 version of switch online It's a shame

IKR? Those words mean we are about to see something epic!

me and my brother just talked about the sound it made to run over people in the tank lol. That was probably one of our favorite parts of the game. Truly blew our little video game brains at the time.

Hours? Days, weeks, months!!!

I'm sure Karl could have made a 5-hour documentary about this level but chose not to for the sake of us viewers.

You mean, 27 second level, right? 😂

@@maiden666powerslave 26 baby

He's only overstating the importance of what he's covering

R O D T O G E R S

I think even the most ardent believer would have to question if the West was really as decadent and weak as they'd been told, when they apparently possess superhumans.

Hi

Hi

Yes, just yes.

Fet?

@@whirlwind872 speed

Every weekend on speed and acid god damn lol how were you not utterly exhausted mentally by dropping that frequently

@@whirlwind872 smoke a lot of weed to balance it out lol nah never really got mentally tired when you're with your mates having a constant laugh, lots of playing football through the week and being active outside certainly helped plus youth is a huge factor we were all under 20 I think when Goldeneye came out

As another non-player, I don't think these optimizations would matter too much, given the Goldeneye speedrunning community doesn't record milliseconds. The first strategy might increase the boost (I could be wrong), but the increase would be negligible, unless the 0:27 is already on the verge of being a 0:26, which I would wager is not the case. Leaning to get into the plane wouldn't matter either, since the end of the level is determined by when the final drone gun is destroyed, and entering the plane is timed to match that. Since entering the plane is already timed to the destruction of the final drone gun, and the final drone gun is already timed to be destroyed as early as possible, entering the plane earlier then was done in the speedrun holds no benefit.

Real timer?

@@Chance57 like milliseconds, instead of having to beat the world record by one second to not tie it.

@@siriusly7081 ahh, I see.

Maybe races will become more popular

It's crazy that new strategies are discovered even after decades.. who knows what else might come.

Jailer: [shoots] Speedrunner: Thanks for the damage boost, chump!

I'm some what of a speedrunner myself

also a liar

@@Aidez A spliced speedview? The scandal!

Same dude. He explains it in the best most interesting way possible.

@@DbladeMedic Such a gentleman, calling me a legend 😂

@@arcticrunning8370 😂right though?

@@arcticrunning8370 you know it kinda makes me want to get a speedrun record just so karl jobst would make a video about the run. Idc about the world record just want the legened himself to do a video lmao🤣

If I were to guess I would say that he got three damage boosts on top of tighter movement, but I'm no expert.

The two times Ryan got hit on the 28 run either did not push him forward or knocked him back.

I've seen this addressed elsewhere. The in game time doesn't always match with real time, even with no pauses. The time is therefore more like a high score than an actual 'time' as in a real life race.

he had a boost from a guard on the way to the first turret and no backboost on the way to the plane

I think it was mostly perfect execution/luck. Had ideal movement, throws, and guard boosts.

yeah I think karl failed to explain the very climax of the video lol.but I think it was the grenade boost + a forward boost from a guard +no shots that slowed down +perfect route +perfect lag reduction and it seems a very small forward boost at the end too
