After roughly 6 months of planning, testing, and recording, I'm excited to finally be able to share this run. I hope you enjoy it!





Technical details:
- This run sets a new world record for a segmented speedrun of Red Faction on Impossible difficulty with an improvement of about 9 minutes and 30 seconds.
- Segmentation was performed using the built-in quicksave/quickload functionality.
- Because Red Faction has no demo functionality, all segments had to be recorded as videos, which occasionally makes for some visual inconsistencies.
- All in-game music was added in editing to eliminate music cut offs when segmenting.
- This run was performed using the latest version of the de facto standard RF client - Pure Faction (3.0e) from purefaction.org.
- Total segment count for the run came in at 1,171 - over 800 of which are less than 1 second long.
- I recorded 1,169 segments for this run, and homard recorded 2.
