I think not. It's stupid to have ~7 minutes of movie time added to the ending clock when it takes ~5 minutes to rush through training. Your thoughts?

It's sheer bullshit.

manual timing here we come!

*busts out chronometer*

or we could time the cutscenes in the theater mode and substract that time from our final times.
but yeah. that's the stupidest thing ever in a game with a timer. the video is going to be shorter than the actual final time when someone makes a speedrun and some people will be confused. there might even be people who will suspect foul play lol.
I agree.  Bullshit.  But we'll have to live with it or come up with our own method of timing.
One shall stand, one shall ball.
Playing Other M is pretty much asking for punishment in and of itself, you kinda deserve it.

You know us speedrunners, we're masochistic like that.
Haha. I'm just wondering if it would be feasible to subtract said time from our final time resulting in our "real" time if you know what I mean. Grats Hitaka btw on the sub 4!

i don't see why this would be considered a "punishment". i mean, it applies to everyone so it's perfectly fair. so just use the time at the end since it's way easier than manually timing. who cares.

It's sad because it's so true.
It is stupid to force that time into your total play time.  I think it pisses them off when they see a speed runner complete their game in 1/4th of the length that they claim their game is, so this is just their way of padding the game time.

I've already times the cutscenes, albeit crudely, and got 103 minutes. I didn't count the credits since I'm not sure they count or not.
Why did they mess with the timing system?  There was nothing wrong with it!!!
Odds are SDA's gonna use the ingame timer. I totally support the idea of timing the cutscenes so we can get a non-cutscene-inflated time too though.
It makes the most sense to go by the in-game timer, considering that the ridiculous added time is the same for everyone.
I'm guessing they did it because they wanted to actually include cutscenes in the time, but were lazy and timed how long the cutscenes last, and just add that to the normal time.

I say they go by the in-game timer, so you could watch... "REMEMBER ME?!?"

In-game times should be the official times, but it would be nice to have a corrected time to use as a footnote.

would be funny if the length of the run videos turned out to be shorter than the time of the run.

I like that idea. As long as it's understood that subtracting ~103 minutes (thanks darkphazon!) is your "real" time. I like having both to identify with.

I can see this happening, easily.

I'm pretty sure the credits do count. I actually just finished up the Queen under 3:30 with 49% and saved at her ship and my time jumped to ~3:5x.

In that case, I'll be sure to time the credits later today. I'll also try to time all of the cutscenes better.
Poor KG would be on the losing side of this deal if it is manually timed.

It was tedious but I timed the cutscenes again. I also timed the credits. I got 1:42:30 for the cutscenes alone and 5:17 for the credits. This gives a total of of 1:47:47.
Is that from the movie or while you played the game?

From the movie. I did as much as I could to not count gameplay.
