NTSC vs PAL
« on: February 15, 2004, 05:14:00 pm »
Is NTSC faster than PAL in terms of the speed of movement within the game? Does having PAL give someone a disadvantage when trying to get fast times (like in Mario Kart 64, for example)

Any help much appreciated

In Terms of movement of speed there's absolutely no difference. The differences are mostly in levels with Lifts/Elevators, those moves slower. and according to Matt Cook, doors supposedly opens slower on PAL than on NTSC.

Besides what Shade said, there is also some weirdo differences, like the bot on Investigation is usually slower on PAL, and Farsight has a longer reach on PAL too (I guess), thus giving you the chance of doing a glitch on Deep Sea A/SA which saves 1:30 on SA and like 50s on A.

The rest is preety much the same.

You have to look at it this way.
If a pal pd cart was a penis, how big would it be?
And if an ntsc pd cart was a penis, how big would it be?
It comes down to which has the bigger penis.
I think I speak for everyone at the elite when I say that NTSC>PAL

It will work. But not with widescreen turned on. For Agent, stop under the 6th beam in that hallway. Make sure the FarSight is on 2nd function too. Search around there and you'll find them.

5 seconds in a lift on NTSC = 6 seconds on PAL

On deep sea Pal gains about 30 seconds on agent and like 1:10 on sa....

Not 50 and 1:30.

For Deep Sea, I was wondering (now that I've figured out that you have to dodge the farsight bearing Elvis).. maybe if you do this you can not get it on SA. I'll be sure to try:

Go through warp portal. Elvis is there, going to give you the gun. Back strafe over to one side (and back of course). Lure him over towards you but as he comes close to the side you're on, hop over to the opposite side and doge him. What do you think?

He doesn't care about skedars and usually runs faster. Im not sure if he warps but once saw him far away from me then i looked away and then he were right behind me. Its bad that this isn't possible in the beginning.

I would say it's more like 35 sec difference for A, but 70 or so on SA is about right.

it's also gay on ntsc though, b/c you have two random factors instead of one...  so probabilities multiply =P
