After a GTA: Vice City speedrunner had their world record attempt derailed by a super-fast cop, one of the game's original devs explained what happened before swiftly washing their hands of the whole business.
Earlier this week, speedrunner Joshimuz shared a clip of "an old speedrunning legend." Nearly 100 minutes into their 'No Major Glitches' Vice City Any% run, Joshimuz was aiming to complete the Cherry Popper ice cream factory missions when they ended up on the wrong side of the law. Normally, any speedrunner worth their salt would be able to evade the one-star wanted level that Joshimuz picked up here, but these weren't normal circumstances. One of Vice City's finest sees this minor traffic infraction and zips across the ground to Joshimuz's ice cream truck, arresting him and giving his run a serious setback.
