This video compares a speedrun from 5 years ago with the ones being done today, mostly looking at the old strats that used to be done, or were different because of older game versions.
Casual vs Speedrun in GTAV took a good look at how the run compares to a casual, and I've had lots of requests for comparing speedruns. I figured looking at a very old speedrun would be the most fun/interesting way to do that, as further explained in the video why I chose to do this over a SummoningSalt world record progression style video.
Watching back the old 2014 was like going in a time machine for me as I didn't get into speedrunning until 8 months ago or so, so checking out old strats was fun, and helps me think about new strats for the future. Another Strat Update and Risky Strat video are in the works, as well as Casual VS Speedrun GTA San Andreas has officially begin (I'm doing lots of practice!).
I hope the 2014 run is watchable, it's from Xbox 360, streamed to twitch, which i then had to download and re-encode. its like 25-30fps and 720p at best i think. you'll live, just pretend its 2004 or something.
