Abe's Oddysee PSX TAS
You might remember a while back that I posted a 100% TAS of the PSX Version of AO, a new TAS has just been released this time with the focus on beating the game as quickly as possible. It's still impressive!
|
omfg ! it's the best game player of the world ! xD
PS: but TAS is a program for the emulators that can do this ? |
Very impressive. It's a testament to Oddworld that people are still doing speed runs of it's games.
|
I too enjoy getting Abe's Oddysee over and done with as quickly as possible.
|
That is very impressive indeed. I love the tricks he pulled off. The timing was perfect.
|
I'm still in Escape from Rupture Farms after 40 minute (and that's me speed running it)
|
It's a TAS, you can pretend all those times you died you didn't die.
|
Eugh, I feel the compulsion to actually tell everyone what a TAS actually is >_>
|
Tool Assisted Speedrun.
|
I want to see one where they save 99 Mudokons. Doesn't doing it with tools sort of defeat the purpose anyway?
|
:
I’m so sorry |
:
Can you imagine do that flawlessly without tools? |
There are speedruns out there that are done without tools - Which is much more of a testament to skill than those that use them. This is one example, as far as I'm aware.
|
It's just an entertainment thing,
Tool assisted runs are just more entertaining to watch because you can see some people pill off some really crazy things. |
Sounds good to me.
|
TAS's are meant for entertainment purposes, not to show skill. It's not the equivalent of a person playing the game, and then if they mess up, doing something again. The game is normally played using thousands of save-states and often played frame-by-frame to make everything perfect.
|
If you watch that video, a rerecord count is displayed,
I really do not have the patience to do a TAS. |
Maaan, but that guy cheated. I do not approve.

I don't understand...
|
I'm making it perfectly clear to him that if he'd read the thread he'd know it's a TAS.
|
I don't know what a TAS is.
|
Tool assisted speedrun.
Which means he used save states and played the game at a very low frame rate to achieve what you saw. |
How do you make a save state on Oddysee! I've wanted to do that for ages!
|
Save States on the emulator.
|
I can never get the ePSXe emulator to work. I have no idea what to do with the Plug-ins.
|
A simple Google search will find you a .rar file with ePSXe all configured with the plugins,
Or just use pSX which I found to be a much better emulator. |
We should stop talking about emulators. I think there's a rule about it.
Do you mean PCSX, Jenny? |
Ummm, whats wrong with talking about emulators?
The TAS was clearly performed on one, Anyway, this is the emulator I was on about, not PCSX http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/ |
