Ok I really like this narration style, rather than being a strict serious script it feels like having a friend casually explain the game for you and it's a cozy and comfortable experience. Bringing up the konami announcement subject added more to that feeling. Comfy and really interesting ☺️
I just can't unhear the Burger King Foot Lettuce meme. Every time I hear an American with this accent it hovers in the back of my mind. "Number fifteen, Heather quickturn cancel..."
The narration didn’t feel noticeably different to any of his other videos for me. I personally think Ricky does an amazing job at scripting and narration, kudos Ricky!
Imagine a horror game story with a speedrunning protagonist. The monsters are popping out of every corner doing their level best to scare the protagonist, who is beelining right past them without sparing them a glance, let alone shooting at them, to the hidden hallway the protagonist should have no way of knowing exists, before stopping and intentionally dislocating their ankle to turn 270 degrees in 1/30 of a second to enter the hallway with no decrease in walk speed and no signs of pain despite their feet now facing two different directions. Later, the protagonist is trapped in a locked room with monsters slowly approaching and a creepy monologue in the background when suddenly there's a rapid clicking. The monsters look to the protagonist whose hand is a twitching, inhuman blur as they turn the knob to the locked door 60 times a second, waiting for the first frame after the monologue to open it. Then they notice both hands are on the shotgun the protagonist is holding. Halfway through it starts getting really freaky when the protagonist walks into a room, turning to face one particular corner and continuously walking into it while hopping in place for 37 seconds, then suddenly twisting into a pretzel *still* with no apparent signs of pain and passing into the wall while the monsters stare on, horrified. Also: 42:27 If you're reading this Mr. ThaRixer, it's pronounced 'tair-oh' cards.
I would watch so many more random Speedruns of games I've never played if they were narrated like this. Knowing what is going on and all the techniques being used just kept this interesting and addictive throughout.
I'm in bed with a high fever listening to an explanation of a Speedrun of a game from a series I've never batted an eye at. And little by little I feel my self getting better. Your videos are truly incredible 🙏
I have to say, as someone who isn’t really in the speedrunning community, your channel is probably my favorite on TH-cam right now. These videos are so well done and I’ve watched each like 6 times now. Hope you are doing well and I can’t wait to see future content! Also it’s criminal you don’t have more subscribers!
I can't thank you enough for the detail you go into on these vids, it really does help people who are completely new to the runs. Worked wonders on the sh2 vid and now this one is just as good if not better.
Oh shit, I discovered your channel really recently, and watched your other silent hill speedrun videos a couple of weeks ago, so it's very cool I managed to catch this one as it was uploaded!
Honestly, I'm intrigued by silent hill f. The final shot of the trailer is really chilling and unexpected. I honestly thought they were just gonna play a jumpscare
i'm really excited for shf, mostly because of who's writing it. ryukishi07 might not be a name most silent hill fans recognize (particularly in the west, even if most his visual novels and their manga/anime adaptations have been translated into english over the years), but i've been a fan of his work for well over a decade now. imo he's a great fit for writing that silent hill type of horror that combines psychological and supernatural elements
@@jaymxu I work night time, it's still 31st in Scotland here. I sleep during the day most of the time, now for some chinese food to end the actual day itself.
An awesome video for an awesome game!! I watched a lot of content on TH-cam (speedrun, video games, mangas, workout, beers crafting, weapons crafting, true crime, etc...) but you Ricky is easily one of my favorite TH-cam content creator, keep up the good work and thank you, greetings from Belgium.
WE NEED MORE RICKMAN. As long as you can do them and still live a healthy life of your own choice and have fun creating this content. I’ve binged most of your videos in a week and subscribed after the first time, these are seriously great!
I usually only watch shorts or 2 min videos , but the way you explain , and narrate just makes me get hooked into watching a full 1h , appreciate the effort put ❤ thank you .
I don't mind if next year's special doesn't cover a SH speedrun. Your narration style when covering these specials make it an even better watch (or listen to) whenever I need something playing in the background. The details your writing gives makes it easy to follow the run and easy to understand. I just hope that you'll keep on making videos for as long as you find 'em fun to make.
lol dude i hate the hair dryer pickup. "And you got this long corridor right before it, just so you can overthink how you're gonna screw it up" - hits hard man. True and real. Loved the vid (:
I love these Halloween SH speedruns. It's always interesting just how many tiny factors would go completely unnoticed by casual players. I hope you (and I) find time to play through SH4 and a good WR appears before next Halloween, but if it doesn't, I suppose the logical shuffle would be to Resident Evil, which I assume is fairly similar to speedrun besides inventory juggling replacing most puzzle work. Either way, I'll be sure to keep watching!
If there isn't a good Silent Hill 4 run to showcase by next Halloween, there are a few good speedruns for the game X-Files: Resist or Serve. It's a tie-in to the show with a similar setup to Silent Hill or Resident Evil, and I think it might be a good fit for this series. You could go for either the Scully or Mulder run by hansolo12.
I could never play these games myself. THey'd freak me out too much. Watching Speedruns of them is actually more palatable to me, especially in this style. So thanks Rixer.
I love this annual tradition of yours. Makes my already favourite day of the year that much better. Also, thank you for having subtitles, especially on a video of this length.
For someone like me who is totally out of touch with the speedrun scene, I love your videos, they are fun, interesting and well explained for a neophyte! Thanks for your content :)
Was waiting for this! Just found your channel and watched the SH 1 and 2 videos and I wondered if you had given up or you were still going to make the SH 3 video! Glad to see you are still around!
I think each time you try to open the map you save a few frames from the text coming up pausing the in game timer but I don't think anyone's truly confirmed it
Just got your Silent hill 2 video recommended and watched it. When i heard that you were planning to release a SH3 video this year i wondered if you released it already and would you look at that, there it is, uploaded only 3 hours ago. Great video btw!
i have you on notifs and for some reason youtube hasn't given me them!! i checked on a whim today and saw i missed like 3 videos ): been catching up, and love it as usual. hope we get to see you post again soon, youre an immediate click when you pop up in my recommended!
I really have enjoyed these Silent Hill videos every year, shedding light on a series I haven't gotten to play yet. This is just an idea, but if you can't do a video on Silent Hill 4 next year, I think it would be really cool to see a video on a Resident Evil game.
Oh this is so rad, I finally went back and finished this game fully like 4 days ago, ready to go check out the speedrunning scene behind it, and you manifest this? Very exciting, Happy Halloween!
Never played this game but appreciate you and your channel. Was brought to your channel by your God of War video. Keep going! Love from Cape Town, South Africa
I love this series...can we call it series...it technicaly has three episodes now :D Anyway, I cannot believe it is a year ago already when I watched the last Sillent Hill World Record video. More than a year of watching your videos then, yet it feels like yesterday when I stumbled upon your channel.
2:52 I don't think you need to place the books on the shelf when playing on normal, either. I remember on my first playthrough of this game ages ago, that I didn't even see the shelf and I figured out the code by examining each book individually. I distinctly remember having all the books in my inventory throughout the entire game ^^
I've recently finished the game for the first time and already started an extra new game, what I failed to notice not only the first but the second playthrough, is that you can place the books on the shelf at the first puzzle. So Heather ran through hell and back all while carrying several Shakespear volumes, probably on one of her vest pockets.
33:53 that explains my first playthrough i did on an emulator then. when u start off in the nightmare i unknowingly glitched the switch through the wall and skipped half the game. took me a bit before i realized i did accidentally skip the game.
I've seen a guide on the Leonard fight. It says that if you take 2 steps back before firing the shotgun, he will never start swimming and he'll just stay in place so you can shoot him down
It's funny what you said about the mannequines later in the video. I worked a night shift in a college that had a nursing program (as part of construction on their facility). The only time I could work in their essentially practice hospital... basically by myself of course, in a room full of probably 20 hospital beds with mannequins in them that the students would practice on. I was a bit younger, 22 or so and used to constantly watch horror movies for a while. Il never forget the feeling of working in their space that night and just being so completely creeped out. The lights only seemed to work on one side of the room so I worked my way from that side out, if memory serves correct. . Either way Im not sure which is honestly worse. Seeing whats coming, or imaging what might. At least if you know you're dead, you know it's over. If you spend your life living in fear, it's not like you really had a chance to live at all. Thanks for the in depth video!!!!!
I've always wanted to do an Origins fists only speedrun but never had the patience to learn it inside and out like this dude has done for sh3, props, was really interesting to watch!
Although I don't do any speed running I watch many videos because speed running is interesting to me, it interest me how people figure so many things of a game that not even the developers know and how someone can sit for hours looking for 1 little thing that can change a speed run, and then finally every knows and everyone attempts and it's a race of who can get the best time then get an even better time
Harry: murdered, dead, bleeding on the blankets.
Heather: executes a 360 quickturn cancel to leave him behind in record speed
💀
Skipping the *Grief process* is still considered glitchless, just universaly disliked by most runners
"ez"
"Sorry no time to mourn this category is too optimized and I'm on world record pace"

Agree with you 200%
This guy, WaifuRuns and TomatoAnus are my favs
Just watch games done quick lol 9/10 the runners are expelling their runs
Ty for continuing the yearly tradition Ricky. These Silent Hill runs are always a treat to watch
"Ty", dude, are you really that pressed for time that you can't type out the words "thank you"?

Your scripts are great - really enjoy the cadence of delivery. Clear concise and with the right amount of pauses to give some space. Keep it up!

Regular gameplay: A nightmarish psychological horror.
Speed Runner gameplay: A brisk jog through Detroit.
Hey now, have you ever been to Detroit? A brisk jog through Detroit is still a nightmarish psychological horror.
6 months no video. My heart hurts. Please release something?!?!?!?
I can't thank you enough for the detail you go into on these vids, it really does help people who are completely new to the runs. Worked wonders on the sh2 vid and now this one is just as good if not better.

I really enjoy how the in-game timer inspires different strats to what the usual overlay/out-of-game timer would.
Honestly, I'm intrigued by silent hill f. The final shot of the trailer is really chilling and unexpected. I honestly thought they were just gonna play a jumpscare

Now THIS is a FULL ANALYSI.. oh, the game's already over.
Haha, you got me :D
And here it is, the promised video! Thanks Ricky, was really looking forward to this, your commentaries are endearing as always
perfect timing for this video with all the new silent hill hype.
This is an example of what I'd call perfect content. Keep up the good work Ricky
People will never appreciate how insanely hard just the movement is in this run. Big props
I was literally about to sleep but stupid me checked youtube before doing so, well while it's still Halloween...
Literally just done the same but the best part is Halloween is my birthday! Pre-bed rixer vid is peak!
literally me rn, 1hr after your comment
Sleep? Where are you it's 1pm in Europe.
@@jaymxu I work night time, it's still 31st in Scotland here. I sleep during the day most of the time, now for some chinese food to end the actual day itself.
I genuinely treasure these SH speedrun explanations as some of the highlights of youtube each year for the past few years now.
An awesome video for an awesome game!!

YESSSS the best time of the year is when rixer drops a new video!
Thank you so much!!!
I was waiting for this video like crazy!
20+ years later, and this is STILL one of the best looking games out there
i like that you uploaded this in 4:3. :)
Hope ur doing good bro, love the content

Has it really been another year already? This video series is starting to be how I track the passage of time.
Sick. Love watching SR explanations. Thanks for always delivering the GOOD shit, king.
Was very much hoping for this vid this year, happy to see it!
This is the first one I've been able to catch as soon as it uploaded. I feel like it's my birthday and Christmas all at once!
After you apologized for the jumpscare at 35:59 you won my like.
I don't mind if next year's special doesn't cover a SH speedrun. Your narration style when covering these specials make it an even better watch (or listen to) whenever I need something playing in the background. The details your writing gives makes it easy to follow the run and easy to understand. I just hope that you'll keep on making videos for as long as you find 'em fun to make.

In all seriousness, love your vids dude. Keep them coming!
Haha thanks!
Not gonna lie the deadline stresses me out sometimes but I got it done! Thanks for the kind comment
Im glad this showed up on my feed. Awesome video.
Bro I don't speedrun myself nor do I follow it. Yet here I am loving your videos and hoping for new releases every day!

You need to make some more videos bro, I'm FIENDING. I must have watched the seaport strip video about fifty times now.
If SH4 is off for next year, maybe a Parasite Eve wr might be a cool substitute to see?
i like commentary like this feels good and easy to understand what you are talking about and not to serious
Was waiting for this! Just found your channel and watched the SH 1 and 2 videos and I wondered if you had given up or you were still going to make the SH 3 video! Glad to see you are still around!

Nah. It's pronounced like it's spelled. Quit gaslighting.

I was watching you silent hill 2 video and literally was wondering if you were gonna put another one out, awesome narration as always ty!
I've been waiting for this for over a year!
Are there any leading theories about why spamming the map button speeds up the elevator, even if we don't know for sure yet?
I think each time you try to open the map you save a few frames from the text coming up pausing the in game timer but I don't think anyone's truly confirmed it
Great narration and gameplay. Felt very cozy watching it
Your voice makes me think of them "how it's made" video's. Very relaxing and the topic is way more interessting. Cheers.
watching speedruns with your great and entertaining explanation really is fun!
Love this videos! Thank you so much for your dedication each year!
Awesome video bro, great explanations as always!
keep it up!
your narration made this a very comfy video to watch :)
This channel doesn't miss, can't wait to watch this
Congrats to deathtropes on the WR and to you for a great video

A halloween drop on silent hill? Tharixer you bless us
awesome video great commentary
