After the Underground shortcut was discovered, it came out that the dev team was aware of that shorcut, and had deliberately left it in the game, instead of putting up a wall or something.
So do you think there are any other still-to-be-discovered shortcuts in the game?
Related question: do you think there are still runs on the internal developer network that are faster than any runs done in XBLA, due to either developer awesomeness, unknown shortcuts, or undiscovered techniques/drive lines?
I don't have any top 10 times myself, and it continues to impress me how the top riders are continuing to find new ways to break their old scores!
There are still plenty of shortcuts, a tread was created just for them. Some of them are very hard to execute, so many speedrunners will chose a safer path when going for a speedrun. Murdoc Loch's run on Inferno II shows you how far those shortcuts can push you up the leaderboards... but they are so hard to do![]()
Yep, that's one of my favorite threads to watch. I'm just curious if the devs are still holding on to some secrets (shortcuts/easter eggs/ideal lines/techniques, etc) that we haven't found yet...
Edit: Redlynx Timesavers thread is here
I still think there is one or 2 left.![]()
Ive put in a lot of time on the easter eggs and I believe there could still be some to find. During the textureglitch the same Murdoc Loch found a room showing the signs of many of the easter eggs. All of them had been found ingame except for one: a sign with the title of one of Newtons books, so its possible that this easter egg is still to be found somewhere ingame.Originally Posted by MegaTrain
Also, the riddle still needs to be solved: that is one big secret![]()
