please see my updated video in addition to this one! some things have been changed that change my opinion of this game and the update!!! 🙏🙏 th-cam.com/video/SkS5-2oeHfw/w-d-xo.html
You described it almost perfectly. It lost its purity. Speed Run 4 was one of those rare few gems in Roblox which was fun gave me that classic nostalgia feel. I remember going back to it every few years, and it gave me that classic nostalgia feeling of old Roblox that you CANNOT fake or replicate. There's a reason why the game has billions of visits. I'm extremely saddened to see that we won't get that experience back, because it's been completely transformed, for the worst.
@@Purplerplex I honestly don't really think the game has been ruined, I actually still enjoy the game and I'm happy the game actually had an update recently.
I revisited this game just recently since it had been a good few years since I last played. The atrocity that was brought to my eyes made me want to cry on the inside. Its like watching someone you love fall victim to an addiction.
@@FiremanSamBoy2008 To each their own tbh, if you liked the update I don't mind. It's just that, for me, this game was reduced to such a shell of it's former self like one of those many easy cash-grab 'get-pets-trade-pets' games that it ruins it for me. If they did change anything, maybe I will consider playing it again, but until then I might stay off.
@@SlushySymphy Fair enough tbh, I can see why most people don't like how the game is nowadays. Hopefully in the near future the game will be able to improve itself for it's older players who don't like how it is nowadays to enjoy.
@@FiremanSamBoy2008they put level locks on the next area to force players to replay parts and farm premium payouts, they added pets to and hook pet sim kids in and make even more money, they used ai slop because the update wasn't meant for effort it was meant for money. and now compared to the old game this is terrible and whoever took over or whatever happened to the owner is crazy
Well said also the new maps are poly styled which is the definition of a simulator game but speedrun 4s theme was classic Roblox so it’s just a lazy low poly style change
For me, Speed Run 4 started losing its charm when they changed the music. I still remember that the second volcano stage used to have the Agni Kai theme. That’s just one example of the many songs they changed that I wished they kept. I’ve only beaten it 18 times, and I don’t really like it anymore.
I honestly don't really think the game has been ruined, I actually still enjoy the game and I'm happy the game actually had an update recently. Some of the new music in my opinion are actually quite good, though not as good as the original music.
I feel like they could’ve just made a whole new game so they could keep the nostalgia of of speed run 4. Me and my brother used to play this game for hours as a kid
I think the addition of locks on the levels kinda goes against the spirit of the game, as now even if you do get to the end of a level with skill, you may have to grind cash to progress, halting the flow of the game
What’s the point of calling it speed run when you can’t literally do what it’s named… I’ve never wanted to feel so disappointed on something like this and it’s a Roblox game of all things. Wow my childhood is down the drain.

Which basically they just ruined it to the point it’s now just a modern Roblox simulator (which is basically pay to win) that is it actually an old game
I wish they just made a whole new game at this point. Leave speedrun 4 untouched and make speedrun 5. The new environments and levels would fit so much better in a new game then with all the levels. It remind me of the sims 4 with how ea keeps adding more and increasing the games lifespan despite being able to make a new game. I think the new update should’ve just been a new game entirely.
On level 6, they might not have been cheating, since there was a glitch I called "Ice hopping", where if you held space on the water on level 6, you could jump on the water without dying. I couldn't find a fast way to the exit, but if they did, then it could be theoretically possible to get their times. Or they were cheating.
Oh my god I am so glad someone actually spoke about this, I used to play this game so much and when I joined like 2 months ago my jaw was gen dropped no idea why they made it a simulator game 😭
I was hyped to play but then I saw I had like 2mil in the corner and I couldn't get to the next level without paying, I just left, I'm sad that they did this
They ended up making a nightmare edition which sucks, bad. The only differences in the nightmare edition is a reskinned scp-096 (i am not kidding.) chases you, and if you stop moving for even ONE second, it will catch up and "jumpscare" you with the most deepfried and eye hurting visuals I have ever seen in my life. Also, in the nightmare edition, they made the atmosphere much darker on every level so you can almost never see where you're going. there's no room for errors to be made, like Speedrun 4's base allowed, and the monster's programming is god awful. They ruined everything Speedrun 4 was loved for, and I hate it so much. I had so much fun trying to get deathless runs in the game, and now I feel rage and disappointment just looking at the game's page. It's been wittled down to nothing more than a paywalled sim game.
this is an insane overexaggeration, while i do agree that nightmare mode is bad the changes it makes are not nearly that difficult, you can pretty easily stop moving for a full second (maybe even longer) and still not die. the "almost never see where youre going" thing is just a complete lie lol the game cannot possibly be that dark unless your monitor brightness is down most of the increased difficulty in nightmare mode comes from actual map changes for levels 30-44 which i thought were okay but i believe not all levels got changes for some reason and the ones that did get changes were pretty lackluster being just smaller platforms and tighter jumps
Nightmare mode is just a little halloween joke, they used to make different speedrun 4 games in the past too like speedrun 4 mirrored. The only thing that is bad is that I hadn’t played speedrun 4 in like 2 years and when I saw the pets in the nightmare mode I thought it was part of the nightmare gimmick like “ohhh boooo pets in speedrun 4!” Can you imagine the sheer terror on my face watching this video and realizing its a actual fucking feature?!
@@sboxes4021 they added crates (aka gambling), added vip subscription and made it’s description lie (it implies that there is multiple vip gloves), made the halloween event p2w, made annoyingly long badge obtainments just to farm premium payouts, nerfed the free to play way to get crates twice (it takes about 2-3 hours of grinding to get a crate), added limited time crates to exploit FOMA (fear of missing out) and spend time adding unnecessary to the game instead of fixing their horrible anti cheat.
Vurse locking the next stage feels like O'hare selling air in a bottle. You might also want to look into his group and see how his other games (the ones with speedrun mechanics) are following the cash grab culture of other popular roblox games, but failed miserably. He tried to make these kind of updates into other games. He tried. And failed. game is cooked now ong 💔
This hurts so much to see. I used to play the beta version with Vurse back in the days, didn't know them personally but I spent a lot of time as a test dummy on the public early access. They always seemed so nice and very passionate about the development, at least back then. I stopped playing a long time ago back when some music originally got changed due to copyright issues, but I had hoped that would at least be the end with the issues. . Not that the music changing was bad, I'm just autistic and struggle with changes, it felt too wrong to play after that haha
I am so hurt at the new Speedrun update. Especially with some of the songs being removed that I enjoyed listening to while playing. What a hugeeee loss. 💔💔😔
while i personally think the new levels look really cool (along with the new stuff), i feel like it really just does not belong in speed run 4. they clash with the blocky/classic feel of the pre-existing game and perhaps if they were used for a sequel that wouldn't be so bad.
Personally I prefer Speedrun 4 Nightmare mode where some silly friend likes to follow you around and politely tell you to keep going and not stop running because it's more fun that way
Pets single-handedly caused the downfall of roblox games. Although better games have come out since the pet meta was made, it turns almost all games into soulless cash grabs, and micro transactions should be moderated so much more in a predominately children’s game. Starting with adopt me, the first year it was out it was just a well made family roleplay game where you take care of another player, just like a good life in paradise. Soon enough, they were maybe the first to add pets. This became a gateway to limited editions, gambling and IRL trading. In a kids game. For neons and megas, you need to gamble enough real money for enough rare pets, put hours into the game (or fast track it with more money) just for a better looking pet, all for what? Unless you illegally trade it for money, you only have it to either trade it for something just as good or to show off that you do have it. (I didn’t realise how passionate I am about this until I started typing lol)
I got this reccomended in my for you page and I never watched any of your videos nor been obsessed with speed run 4, but this video somehow got me stuck in front of the screen for 20 minutes... I tought you had hundreds of thousands of subscribers, but you only have 3000?! You just got a new subscriber
NAHHH IT GOT UPDATED?! INTO THAT?!?!💀 “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” - a wise guy Also claim your “I played before the god-awful update” badge here 🎖️
around 2 weeks ago i went to my friends house and when we decided to play speed run 4 because we havent played it in so long. i was devastated to see what it had become. shouldve kept the nice simplicity it had smh
I was literally waiting for someone to talk about this😭😭 Like I joined it for nostalgia like a week ago and realized that it absolutely fell off hard. I literally searched TH-cam for so long and didn’t find anyone talking about it till now!
the memories in speed run 4 genuinely makes me melt away and if im being completely honest i almost forgotten all about it this video even though speed run 4 seems ruined now gave me a feel of the classic nostalgia it makes me vulnerable and open up to embrace the cozy feeling this video seriously made me really happy and comforted
When the donut stuff came out, I could ignore it. It wasn’t completely in your face (minus the annoying button on the side of your screen). But I played again recently and this was a million steps too far. I've been playing sr4 for almost a decade and I'm never touching it again. I cant believe Vurse sold out - because it's not just his reputation he's hurt, but the trust that his fans had formed for him for YEARS.
I woke up one day and thought "hmm, why don't i beat that speedrun 4 game i've never played"? Just to enter the game and find out this is what it became😭😭
Long answer: Yes, Speed Run 4 has been ruined as its become infinitely more P2W and greedy and it has become a simulator and people have expressed their dislike about it, but they wont listen Even worse, you know have to buy new levels behind money. And the new owner supports ai, something absolutely horrible, so yes. Speed Run 4 has been ruined. I played in 2016-2019 and i miss it. (i writ this using no ai)
Needing to stand and pay for the portals is bad for another reason too. One the first runs it removes the cool trick shots into portals that I know for a fact everyone did
Speed Run 4 is literally C O O K E D. To think transforming a simple game about running into every simulator on the planet wouldn’t be a bad idea is the objectively wrong train of thought.
I loved this game when I was a kid, kinda sad seeing it like this. I used to play it so ircredibly often... Amazing video tho, definitely deserves more attention! Just subbed!
on level 6 i think, there used to be a shortcut, don't know if they patched it though, you just jumped on the water to the other side, thats how those 2 people have like 3 seconds
I feel your Pain, man. I was the same with Dungeon Quest. I used to have all passes, lvl 210, almost solid gear. Played all the time. Until the game was bought by Voldex and ran it to the ground. Edit: Just saw your other video about this and at least Vurse listens to community feedback, unlike Voldex. I still hate Dungeon Quest's current updates, but I can see why Speedrun 4 could've been saved.
I swear when I joined the first time, I actually had to make sure it was the right game and not some knock-off. When I found out it was the actual game, DEVASTATED and in SHOCK. They clearly just want more money and it ruins the whole point of the game. Its become a trend now days to see simulator games like this which sucks bad. I don't exactly care about simulator games, it's not my type of games. But this just ruins the whole point of the game. It's supposed to be an obby not some simulator game.
I loved this game so much when I was a kid and was surprised to see this update tbh. I genuinely just ignored the pets and the energy thing and completed the game just fine
While it is pretty sad to see this game go to waste, i honestly liked it a lot too, it would make me rage a lot and thats wat gave me the nolstagia, but dont get your hopes up, there is a classic game that is just like the original :) (you can find it near the top when you search speed run 4)
Yeah it's ruined. What was once a simple yet fun game is now an attempted cashgrab, like EVERY SINGLE OTHER GAME ON ROBLOX NOWADAYS (except for a few exceptions, but like A FEW)
I am so glad the developer made a copy called "Speed Run 4 Classic" so people could actually play the game they know and love. This new version is just sad, they became an unoriginal simulator like the rest. Buying the levels also kinda defeats the purpose of "Speedrunning".
Man I played this years ago. I played back when there were literal teams instead of the level section for each player on the leaderboard, and it was just like map skins or whatever instead of worlds. This update is bad (with the pets and stuff not maps and fixes), blatant cash grab with the pets and stuff they ruined the game for me in my opinion (maybe a little harsh), new maps are cool though. 16:18 YOO IT IS MY BIRTHDAY THANK YOU! (Well technically yesterday since its 12:17 AM for me lol)
Yall i found a fix. So apparently there is a game called “speed run 4 NIGHTMARE MODE” it takes the aspect of og speed run 4 its the exact same but there is a monster chasing you.
I also remember there was a time where you could actually survive a bit after touching the floor and if you kept jumping you sometimes wouldn’t die and would be able to climb up a slanted object to climb up. Edit: 9:23 oh he mentioned it, and it’s still not fixed.
threre used to be sounds but they were removed long ago and the songs tab said coming soon when i used them before, i remember using the illuminati sound🤔

no, that's not really a thing, but they're def not good quality models
while i personally think the new levels look really cool (along with the new stuff), i feel like it really just does not belong in speed run 4. they clash with the blocky/classic feel of the pre-existing game and perhaps if they were used for a sequel that wouldn't be so bad.
Personally I prefer Speedrun 4 Nightmare mode where some silly friend likes to follow you around and politely tell you to keep going and not stop running because it's more fun that way
Now I have NOTHING to look back, the nostalgia is gone, forever.
Pets single-handedly caused the downfall of roblox games. Although better games have come out since the pet meta was made, it turns almost all games into soulless cash grabs, and micro transactions should be moderated so much more in a predominately children’s game. Starting with adopt me, the first year it was out it was just a well made family roleplay game where you take care of another player, just like a good life in paradise. Soon enough, they were maybe the first to add pets. This became a gateway to limited editions, gambling and IRL trading. In a kids game. For neons and megas, you need to gamble enough real money for enough rare pets, put hours into the game (or fast track it with more money) just for a better looking pet, all for what? Unless you illegally trade it for money, you only have it to either trade it for something just as good or to show off that you do have it.
(I didn’t realise how passionate I am about this until I started typing lol)
I used to play this game YEARS AGO when i was a kid ALL DAY and it's SAD to see it go this route lol
ALSO LETS GOO MY GOAT UPLOADED
i remember staying up soo late trying to beat the ice cream / candy level 😭fascinated
7:27 i remember this!!! i thought it was like a false memory coz i was pretty young and nobody was talking about it 😭
im a speed run 4 old head Bruh i have to know
@@ZoomsYou’re Zooms, we have to know! -Nardwaur
@@ZoomsBro I got my gravity coil for like 75 Robux in 2014. Shit is now like 800. Which is INSANE the price inflation. 😭😭
i think i also played speed run 4 during the time this was a thing lol. now that im thinking about it, i feel like i’ve aged like 30 years
i rememeber that wth
I got this reccomended in my for you page and I never watched any of your videos nor been obsessed with speed run 4, but this video somehow got me stuck in front of the screen for 20 minutes... I tought you had hundreds of thousands of subscribers, but you only have 3000?! You just got a new subscriber
NAHHH IT GOT UPDATED?! INTO THAT?!?!💀

7:34 just got a blast of nostalgia with that loading screen😭
19:05 adding a solution to an issue you created isn't something that should be considered a positive
Atleast the old version of speedrun 4 is still uploaded on roblox..
Just not the same feeling knowing that it aint official...
@@nikolajthepig I think it was uploaded by the creator
@@2ndatom wait really!?
@@nikolajthepig bruh just check the people that made both games 💀💀
@@2ndatom where did that attitude come from damn
They HAVE to have been hacked... right???
around 2 weeks ago i went to my friends house and when we decided to play speed run 4 because we havent played it in so long. i was devastated to see what it had become. shouldve kept the nice simplicity it had smh
I cant believe this is how I find out my favorite game of over half a decade was reduced to pure slop overnight
This feels like a massive stab in the back from one of the most original game other than pet simulator
Wym other than pet simulator. Pet simulator is not original
I was literally waiting for someone to talk about this😭😭 Like I joined it for nostalgia like a week ago and realized that it absolutely fell off hard. I literally searched TH-cam for so long and didn’t find anyone talking about it till now!
easy solution: play the mirror mode verision
its just the normal game but the level maps are reversed
Also don’t forget classic!
the memories in speed run 4 genuinely makes me melt away and if im being completely honest i almost forgotten all about it this video even though speed run 4 seems ruined now gave me a feel of the classic nostalgia it makes me vulnerable and open up to embrace the cozy feeling this video seriously made me really happy and comforted
I played this game all the time, but now I have to pay for levels
When the donut stuff came out, I could ignore it. It wasn’t completely in your face (minus the annoying button on the side of your screen). But I played again recently and this was a million steps too far. I've been playing sr4 for almost a decade and I'm never touching it again. I cant believe Vurse sold out - because it's not just his reputation he's hurt, but the trust that his fans had formed for him for YEARS.
I woke up one day and thought "hmm, why don't i beat that speedrun 4 game i've never played"? Just to enter the game and find out this is what it became😭😭
short answer: yes
Long answer: yeah
long answer: yessss
Long answer: Yes, Speed Run 4 has been ruined as its become infinitely more P2W and greedy and it has become a simulator and people have expressed their dislike about it, but they wont listen
Even worse, you know have to buy new levels behind money.
And the new owner supports ai, something absolutely horrible, so yes. Speed Run 4 has been ruined. I played in 2016-2019 and i miss it.
(i writ this using no ai)
answer: yes
Omg its ivory
i mainly stopped playing when most of the copy righted music left, it didnt have the same vibe as it did before without it
I’m still missing the “12 completions” badge even though i have 25 completions.
the editing is so awesome. shoutout to the editor, they’re clearly very silly.
Needing to stand and pay for the portals is bad for another reason too. One the first runs it removes the cool trick shots into portals that I know for a fact everyone did
Speed Run 4 was already ruined the second they removed all the original music years ago.
they added them back a bit ago
that was because roblox was sued and had to remove all audio, nothing to do with game devs
They still didn't need to remove Blanklevels
i remember nyan cat music in the rainbow lvl 8 i think?
its not his fault though, roblox got sued and had to remove all the custom audio.
@unicornpupart level 8 had blanklevels i think it got changed to somethinf else
"I hate the pets so much" Dude we could not give a crap about the pets we have bigger problems 💀
Games like these need to have their own category. Used to play dodgeball, stop it slender, hid and seek, and this game.
Speed Run 4 is literally C O O K E D. To think transforming a simple game about running into every simulator on the planet wouldn’t be a bad idea is the objectively wrong train of thought.
I loved this game when I was a kid, kinda sad seeing it like this. I used to play it so ircredibly often... Amazing video tho, definitely deserves more attention! Just subbed!
I didn’t realized this has happened, but my day has been spoiled.. THANK YOU!
on level 6 i think, there used to be a shortcut, don't know if they patched it though, you just jumped on the water to the other side, thats how those 2 people have like 3 seconds
I played this one a lot as a kid, so It made me so sad when i went to play it again recently, an it was so different 😭😭 it was my comfort game...
Implement the new updates into a new speed run 5 rather than speed run 4 and it’ll probably make everyone happy
there is a older version named Speed Run 4 Classic and i'm pretty sure it doesn't have any of the new bad stuff
Can confirm
I feel your Pain, man. I was the same with Dungeon Quest. I used to have all passes, lvl 210, almost solid gear. Played all the time. Until the game was bought by Voldex and ran it to the ground.
Edit: Just saw your other video about this and at least Vurse listens to community feedback, unlike Voldex. I still hate Dungeon Quest's current updates, but I can see why Speedrun 4 could've been saved.
I swear when I joined the first time, I actually had to make sure it was the right game and not some knock-off. When I found out it was the actual game, DEVASTATED and in SHOCK. They clearly just want more money and it ruins the whole point of the game. Its become a trend now days to see simulator games like this which sucks bad. I don't exactly care about simulator games, it's not my type of games. But this just ruins the whole point of the game. It's supposed to be an obby not some simulator game.
I loved this game so much when I was a kid and was surprised to see this update tbh. I genuinely just ignored the pets and the energy thing and completed the game just fine
Nice video dude, looking forward to more from ya!
thank you my GOAT
Don't we all miss when things were simpler?
**Made in Abyss flashbacks** 15:48
HELL NAH
I didn't know EA invested in Roblox games.
And they removed the best music 💀🙏
While it is pretty sad to see this game go to waste, i honestly liked it a lot too, it would make me rage a lot and thats wat gave me the nolstagia, but dont get your hopes up, there is a classic game that is just like the original :) (you can find it near the top when you search speed run 4)
Yeah it's ruined. What was once a simple yet fun game is now an attempted cashgrab, like EVERY SINGLE OTHER GAME ON ROBLOX NOWADAYS (except for a few exceptions, but like A FEW)
this isnt speedrun 4 anymore naah this is simulator 4
The original is still here. Just search up Speed run 4 classic, Its also made by Vurse.
As someone who also loves speed run 4, seeing the update sold the living energy out of me. Thank you for talking about our loss of good speedrun 4.
I am so glad the developer made a copy called "Speed Run 4 Classic" so people could actually play the game they know and love. This new version is just sad, they became an unoriginal simulator like the rest. Buying the levels also kinda defeats the purpose of "Speedrunning".
I literally thought it was a bootleg scam game when I joined after 2 years.
> wanted to play my old favourite
> nope the greed ruined gaming
THE BILLS CANNOT BE THIS HIGH
Man I played this years ago. I played back when there were literal teams instead of the level section for each player on the leaderboard, and it was just like map skins or whatever instead of worlds. This update is bad (with the pets and stuff not maps and fixes), blatant cash grab with the pets and stuff they ruined the game for me in my opinion (maybe a little harsh), new maps are cool though. 16:18 YOO IT IS MY BIRTHDAY THANK YOU! (Well technically yesterday since its 12:17 AM for me lol)
Yall i found a fix.
So apparently there is a game called “speed run 4 NIGHTMARE MODE” it takes the aspect of og speed run 4 its the exact same but there is a monster chasing you.
WHAT??? I miss old Speed run 4 :(
I also remember there was a time where you could actually survive a bit after touching the floor and if you kept jumping you sometimes wouldn’t die and would be able to climb up a slanted object to climb up.
Edit: 9:23 oh he mentioned it, and it’s still not fixed.
bro the 1st game i played EVER in roblox became this
I did NOT wait 5 years for an update just for this!!! 😭😭😭
threre used to be sounds but they were removed long ago and the songs tab said coming soon when i used them before, i remember using the illuminati sound🤔
The new level designs are AMAZING in my books
thank you for the happy birthday
Welp, there's ONE MORE childhood game ruined. I used to play this back when it had meme emotes, and this was YEAAARS ago. (4-5+ years ago.)
