The yearly speedrunning occasion AGDQ is nearing its finish however there are nonetheless lots of PC runs to look at tomorrow, lots of them new releases from 2019. The week-long winter version of Games Done Quick is all the time fascinating even for older games with established speedrunning methods. For new PC games, will probably be a deal with to see the earliest strategies and discoveries that speedrunners have concocted.
Imogen already rounded up among the best AGDQ 2020 moments from earlier on this week’s speedrunning shenanigans. Among them is a show-and-tell reside craft demonstration of how a Fallout Four glitch works. There are certain to be extra excellently odd and enjoyable moments throughout Saturday’s games so that you’ll wish to tune in to your favorites.
Here are the PC games you possibly can watch tomorrow on AGDQ and the instances you’ll discover them:
- Dark Souls (any %) – 5:32am GMT / 9:32pm (Friday) PST
- Control (any %) – 6:27am GMT / 10:27pm (Friday) PST

- Untitled Goose Game (All Main Tasks) – 10:50pm GMT / 2:50pm PST
I’ve but to play Control this 12 months so for me Katana ZERO and the Untitled Goose Game would be the runs to look at. I don’t know a factor about speedrunning both but except for the truth that Katana ZERO has an official speedrun choice in its menu—which I discovered whereas going to test how lengthy my very own unique playthrough was. I spent round 9 hours enjoying via all 11 of the motion platformer’s side-scrolling ranges.
Of course I’m not shocked that the speedrun is scheduled for under a fraction of my playtime at 36 minutes however I’m keen to search out out simply what a Katana ZERO speedrun seems like. My personal reminiscences of the game that acquired RPS’s “bestest bests” stamp final 12 months was dying loads. Does the speedrunner known as “yisk” simply know every of the phases so effectively that they don’t die in any respect?
Glitches in speedrunning are fascinating to the aspect of me that was as soon as a developer however in actuality what I most take pleasure in watching isn’t people wall hacking or boundary breaking. I similar to to see folks play games impressively shortly with a degree of talent and accuracy I’ll by no means grasp. So that’s my private want for Katana ZERO’s run.
Awesome Games Done Quick is benefiting the Prevent Cancer Foundation this 12 months. You can discover out extra concerning the occasion on its website and watch all the runs on Twitch.
