Astérix Speedrunning: xxl2-remaster

martyste

If microdicks can go through the effort of REREREREleasing the XXL games in a 6-pack collection cartridges then they can offer some modest perf patch on Sw2.... at least raise the resolution, gosh that 720p ( even on 2D elements! ) is yucky... Feels like playing a wii game on composite.

XXL1 loads get pretty fast on Switch 2 after the first one. Greece took like 5 seconds while Normandy took 9 as the very first one. Dunno how it's like for XXL2, i don't own it on Switch

Interesting, I played that version to often and I never faced Issues in the past.

froster_xxl

Hahaha now the combat buttons dont work

froster_xxl

my friend wanted to play so Ive sended my settings and then I tried it myself and I had the same Issue. With new files you can only press ESC. With the 2019 files you can do most of the things - except jump (in a jump & run game) xD

Hi, I wanted to get back to the 100% speedrun of this game but I have a problem and I don't understand how to solve it. I finished the game, got the gold in every challenges, find all postcards and diamond helmets, got all figurines and all upgrades and I also break that wall with Obelix in Lutetia near the obelisk but I'm stuck at 96%. I can't find any solution online and i start over multiple time but i still have this issue. If you have any answer, it could be really cool :THIS:

Did you skip something in this category? My last run was 3 years ago, so I dont remember much of it. In the original version, you cant skip much. I dont know if the remaster is similar here (since the remaster isnt that polished, I think it's the same here).

sleepingfisher

Yeah, I skipped few fights by doing tricky jumps or by using the maps to teleport. For example I skipped the tutorial and a fight at the beginning of Venezia. You think that's the reason ?

froster_xxl

yep

froster_xxl

In the original, I tested with two save files: one with skips and one without skips and compared the percent part

froster_xxl

I had a few runs where I scored 99.4% – then it was rounded down. I think it should be possible to skip the entire tutorial and one or two minor skips. You need to do every fight. Perhaps its different in the Remaster, but as I said I think the developers didn't look at that at all.

froster_xxl

haha, I did the complete tutorial 😂 Okay it was my first speedrun at all xD

Does anyone else have the issue that even after reinstalling the game, some buttons don't work? I know the game is really not good but I wonder if anyone else has that problem.

froster_xxl

I think I found a solution -> try to reset the Keybindings

valucean

Yeah I did that brudi. Didn't change it though

sleepingfisher

Hi ! Sorry if I didn't answer earlier, I was testing something about my problem. I did 3 more runs with different skips and I finally found why. Indeed, my problem was there. You can't skip the lever just before the boss in Luxor and you can't make the skips at Ceasar Palace (in the hub with the 4 rooms). Each one count as a percent ≃. Thats a bit frustrating but it's like that. I will try to take back my first place now my dear Froster hehe
