This is a video explaining the speedrun world record in the original Resident Evil (1996) in 38:04 performed by the player Hamo in May of 2021. Hope you enjoy Special thanks to zweek and rudhira for teaching me the basics of Blender so I could add a custom PS1 Jill model to the thumbnail. No AI was used in the making of this video.

Hamo_2: _"Ricky, here's a world record. It might be handy if you, the master of explaining, make a video about it."_
"Enjoy questionable voice acting". No question - this is the best voice acting and i want this quality in all my action games and movies.
at 40:15, getting a battery just to use it later is a little dev trick to force the player into having at least 1 free slot in the inventory so it always can pick up the flare later. A little game design trick that removes a potential soft lock and is used in other resident evils too
I was today years old when I learned hunters are all left handed.
23:26 "Jill, have you found anything interesting?" I don't know, maybe the giant fucking snake that's rotting next to you? I'd say that's worth a look.
Love that the October spooky WR explained tradition is still going. Great stuff as usual and the info pane this year is an excellent touch!
32:32 It's such a little thing but I like the little hand gesture Jill makes upon successfully verifying the password to open the visual data room. It's a blink and you'll miss it but there's just so much they didn't have to do but did it anyways.
My absolute favorite RE1 line has always been, and will always be, Enrico's "Yeah." He says it like he just broke a window and is embarrassed to admit it. Like he just farted and is reluctantly admitting it was him. He's like, "... Yeah?"
Any horror game speedrun is made infinitely funnier by imagining the character saying "I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE" at the start
This is exactly how I always want to watch speed runs, with simple direct explanation of what's happening and why. Great narration!

Questionable voice acting!? Sir, this is peak cinema! I absolutely rinsed this game back in the day on the original PS. Before the internet and wikis I think my PB was about 1h30m and that's including all the door transitions etc
patiently waiting on another sly raccoon/sly 2 video, the last one was absolute peak (just like any other video of yours)
He just got a new 38:01 World record time! Hamo is a legend
Not only do I want to see you cover Resident Evil 2, I also would like to see you cover Resident Evil 2.
New favourite voice line just dropped "there are terrible demons, ouch" - amazing vid Ricky as always, May be biased but i would like to see the SH4 one next spooky
Idk why but this era of 3D games is so relaxing and comfy to me
Fun fact: if you wait long enough, Barry will return with a rope to pull you out
20:37 Where on earth have you Bean
As a fan of October and spooky things, definitely love a good halloween video at this time of year. The display on the side with the items/time/location is a really nice touch!! Great stuff!
