Title: speedrunrecords.com - New Speedrun Site & Forum
Post by: RWG on March 13, 2014, 06:54:45 pm
Hello eliters,

Some of you may know a lovely fellow by the name of Pac__ who frequents some GE streams.  He has put a lot of effort into making a wonderful new website to rank speedruns, as well as a forum, which you can find here;

http://www.speedrunrecords.com/

His idea was to create a full set of leaderboards for all video games, since no good universal one really existed yet.  As you can see, there are full game rankings there for Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, in all important categories.  And I believe these rankings are a better system than what we have here for full game runs.

http://www.speedrunrecords.com/GoldenEye_007
http://www.speedrunrecords.com/Perfect_Dark

The forums are also up so feel free to post there; http://www.speedrunrecords.com/GoldenEye_007/forum

The site is still in early development, but it looks really decent.  If your time has been updated there, then you already have an account made, waiting for you.  Message me here, post in this thread, etc, and I'll send you a verification link to take over your account for both the rankings and forum.

If you aren't ranked in any category or game there yet, then just feel free to make your own account.

Right now there are no single level rankings, but Pac hasn't ruled this out for the future.

Yeah, really good site :D
It even covers ROM hacks :) GoldenEye 007 IL ROM hacks inc. OpieOP
GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark ROM hacks have just 1 hacked level per ROM,, so ROM hacks has to be IL. Looking forward to my favourite Library Mission <3

Nice that there's a forum aswell.
Great work, Pac__ :D :D :D

I think this website is a pretty universal site for all video game records:

http://www.cyberscore.me.uk/

A lot of Eliters are listed on that website too. I, for one, have been listed since 2005.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to request a ranking for full game runs for PD/GE since they already have individual levels covered. This goes for any other game we would want full game runs listed for. Just send a request.

As for speedrunrecords.com, I wish him all the best starting that site up from scratch and keeping it updated. Besides the incomplete site, the one thing that he has going for him is the site name. I'm surprised it was available. Nice find.

Why is your WAR PA 54 not listed on cyberscore?

Have you heard of the website before, Goose? Do you think it would be something to approach them about listing full speed runs? Get more publicity for The Elite also. We could probably get some new quality gamers if the hype is big enough for it.

If you bothered to look at the Goldeneye section of cyberscore, you'd notice some times from myself, Boss, Illu, Ace, etc, which we update once every 2-3 years.

Cyberscore is fine for what it does but they are not worth approaching to list full game speedruns.  We already have the-elite doing that.  speedrunrecords does it now.  And SRL leaderboards will do it eventually.  Cyberscore adds nothing of value to the speedrun community as it stands and is too large of a site for me to make a large enough difference in.
