After 15 years, this 'GoldenEye 007' speedrunning record has been broken

More than 20 years its release, gamers are still trying to master GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo 64, with a recent influx of speedrunners trying to play the game as fast as possible.

Many have tried to crack a long held record by speedrunner Bryan Bosshardt on "Dam," the game's first level.

With a time of 53 seconds on the game's lowest difficulty (Agent), many gamers have pondered if it was even possible to go faster. 126 people are tied alongside Bosshardt's record.

But now, after 15 years, that record has been broken by Australian speedrunner Karl Jobst, who clocked in with a run of 0:52 on Sunday.

The run was recorded on Twitch, complete with Jobst's ecstatic reaction.

"I'm losing my mind ... look at it!" an emotional Jobst said.

As Kotaku notes, the key to getting a quick time is getting as many boosts as you can and opening the gates on the level as fast as possible.

Jobst later revealed on Reddit that it took 250 hours of gameplay to get to his record. "I fucking clutched it!" he wrote.
