The four Idfolks gathered by the Ian Games Network are game director Hugo Martin, level design director Jerry Keehan, lead game programmer Evan Eubanks, and executive producer Marty Stratton. Watch: I do like how Id raised the possibility of fixing some of these issues, but seem to concede that “if we do, [speedrunners will] find something else - and it’ll be just as weird to watch.” They almost certainly would. And while the Idfolk don’t dismiss this sort of glitchy speedrunning, they do seem not-so-secretly pleased every time Xamide has to complete a fight before again launching himself into the sky. It’s a fun watch. That world record is old hat, mind. Xamide has topped that 27:09 time twice since, with his latest video on his YouTube channel cutting Doom Eternal down to 24:42. Observe: If you’d like more broad explanation of it all, Xamide also ran Doom Eternal during Corona Relief Done Quick over the weekend. You watch that archived on Twitch. Our Doom Eternal review declared Id’s latest “absolutely glorious.” Matt played it the long way, mind.
