It's incredibly easy to beat 10hrs, don't know why it is a gold... the nightmare trophy would have been a better gold. I managed to record trophy videos, get all the PDAs, Videos and Lockers and STILL beat 10hrs. Final time was 9hrs 10mins.

 

And on top of that, I managed to beat nightmare getting all PDA's, Lockers, and Videos in around 6hours lol.

ok pple maybe this a dump question but i have juz entered the enpro level with a playtime of 1hr and 46mins am i on good track for speedrun trophy?

 

You should be fine. It's really not hard to beat the 10hr time limit.

 

I did my first playthrough on Ultraviolence (it shouldn't be veteran, damn it) and the only time I've played it before I only just got past the Vagary. I missed a few PDA's but I backtracked for health stations quite a few times, plus got lost in Delta a couple of times too. Still managed to beat the game with over half an hour to spare.

 

I reached Delta at around 5:15 and the Site at around 8:45. If you can aim for that you'll be fine, especially if you don't get lost and/or aren't playing on a harder difficulty.

If you are still having trouble, here are some waypoints:

 

  1. Reached Alpha Labs at 1:30
  2. Reached Monorail Skybridge at 4:00
  3. Reached Delta at 4:50
  4. Revisited Delta after Hell at 7:00
  5. Reached Site 3 at 8:00
  6. Completed the game at 9:00

 

I played on Nightmare, collected all PDA, Videos and Lockers. Also I killed every Enemy.

 

So you should be really fine, especially on lower difficulties and/or if you skip enemies.

Running through the game, in Alpha Labs 3 area at 2 and a half hours roughly. Am I doing well for time? I mean, I do take the time to have a look around for PDAs, ammo and stuff like that as well, so I'm not sure.

 

I'm hoping I am doing well for time, but if not and I miss out on the trophy in the end, ah well, I know to go back through on Recruit just in case XD

Ahaha.

Speed run is a total joke. On my first recruit playthrough I collected all items, I often left Doom 3 running without pausing game in safe places and went to my kitchen to cook a hamburger. I also viewed videon guide with collectables without pausing game )))

When I killed Cyberdemon and trophy popped I was surprised and check my game time for the first time. It was 9:21 :applause:

This is not a speedrun - this is a slowpoke detector trophy :D

I think I must be the world's slowest gamer. I probably did way too much exploring on the first part, but have just hit Delta 5 after Hell, and am at 8 hours exactly.

 

Do I have any chance of getting through under 10 hours? :eek:

 

So I made it with about 5 minutes to spare. I did have to move efficiently at the end, but it is doable. I don't think I could have cut it much closer.

 

For anyone who reads this, I was about an hour behind Teddy's times above, although I did catch up a bit and was 8:45 upon arrival at the Site.

A bit more data for those who may be concerned they've taken too long.

 

In anticipation for the new DOOM, I bought the BFG Edition in October to replay the game and get into the DooM universe again. Well, I played about half way then didn't touch it again until a few days ago, and I must of left my game running unpaused in October because I had a time of 6hrs 50min when first reaching Delta Labs!

 

I picked up the pace since I now knew about the Trophy, and beat the game with 10 minutes to spare, admittedly I am very familiar with DooM 3, so you may have to learn the levels etc.

 

Anyway, I deleted my earlier saves, but here are times from Delta Labs onwards I had:

 

Delta 1 - 6:50:11

Delta 2a - 7:14:31

Delta 2b - 7:36:46

Delta 3 - 7:57:00

Delta 4 - 8:15:13

Hell: Deleted this save

Delta 5 - 8:38:53

Central Processing - 9:03:05

Central Server Banks - 9:13:48

Site 3 - 9:23:54

Caverns 1 - Deleted this save

Caverns 2 - 9:40:30

Primary Excavation Site - 9:44:16

End Credits - 9:50:13

 

So even with a completely smegged up time, you can make it. This was on Marine by the way, even though j missed one PDA in Monorail, so have to collect them again on Nightmare anyway xD

I've just reached Hell (right after fighting the first two Hell Knights) and my total time is currently 7:10. Do you think I still can get the speed run trophy in a no-rush style?

Well I ended up reaching the final boss after around 9:10. I just got the trophy this morning. I got a bit worried because when I reached Site 3 I knew there were not many levels left, but I found Site 3 and Caverns Area 1 to be longer than I thought. Nevertheless I had plenty of time.
