Amongst all this numbered Fallout news; it has emerged, via Gamespot, Fallout New Vegas still exists.
A player going by Rydou has completed a speed run taking only 27 minutes to finish the game. Speed runs are only ever an exercise in… well, speed. So shortcuts and trickery are in play, to achieve such a quick time Rydou took advantage of a movement speed glitch, they explain in the video description:
When you cripple your leg, you get slower, and then when you heal it, you’re supposed to get your speed back. By quickloading just before getting crippled, you can confuse the game into giving you the speed back without actually ever losing it (because we don’t actually really get crippled). So you get a huge speedboost, and walk at 165% of your walking speed.
That along with playing on very easy and skipping dialogue whenever possible lead to this record breaking time. You can watch the whole thing below. The video of course contains spoilers.
