Hey everyone! Re9 refund run is finally out! Was a lot of fun to do and learning casual strats actually took me a bit! Might actually try to do this on insanity with new strats but I'd need to use some cheats to unlock insanity from the start! Enjoy!
Edit: Just wanted to add some details about this run. I've speedrun insanity before with my PB being 1:36 but there's some huge differences in the way the timer is calculated for a typical speedrun vs a refund run. The timer we use for official speedruns is livesplit and it's designed to not count time during load screens and cutscenes and certain item interactions. The official runs also skip the intro (roughly 6-7 minutes) and the orphanage (roughly 7-8 minutes). With the recent hump glitch discovery, Insanity is actually faster than casual cause you need to be in constant danger (red) HP to be able to pull it off, which you cant in casual because your character auto heals preventing that glitch which would save around 5 minutes across roughly. As mentioned in the video, insanity enemies also move faster than casual which lets you get through certain parts of the game faster since you dont have to wait for the proper pathing of the enemies. Finally, the timer here starts as soon as i press the play button on steam, while official speedruns start once you start the first cutscene at the FBI office.
All this to say that if you're wondering what the big deal is cause you've seen insanity speedruns that have times in the sub 1:30s, the timing method used for refund runs is different and this was pretty tight while being close to optimal.
Edit 2 : If you're wondering why there's weird shadows on my walls and floors, its cause the tuktuk mod messes up the shadows somehow. I thought about getting rid of it cause I knew people might get weird about it but tbh the tuktuk is so funny that I thought I'd just leave it.

throwing a grenade at yourself to avoid an uncomfortably long conversation is insane

Well, that’s my cardio for the week.

requiem devs watching this in horror as they realize how many glitches they failed to fix

0:15 "Beating it fast enough" after mentioning Ada is crazy

I know the game wasn't as long as RE4 Remake, but I'm still surprise the community found a way to beat the game under even 3 hours. Impressive playthrough. Great commentary.

i actually think abusing the steam refund system makes them more money, think of all the failed runs from people attempting this

risking to buy the game multiple times with only 4k subs deserves my subscription

absolute Requinema

Devs, we will make a 1 hour cutscene

Search history: games under 2 hours long

This was fun lol congrats on the refund and all without mods

I’m not able to use any additional guns, but I’ll use a glitch which literally makes my requiem to have infinite ammo. Fair enough…

12:00 the only the Grace is ACTUALLY running in the entire game and not just having a casual jog while everyone besides Leon,Harry and Emily are trying to kill her

25:29 yeah that is more than specific ammount of damage 😂😢😂

20:58 your gameplay is so fast I had to check if it was sped up 😂 well done, a winner is you!

5:18 the zombies sounds like zach hadel

This man got potential to run summer with speedruns

This guy's gonna be the reason we may lose the Steam 2 hour refund policy lol

7:22 the fact that the care center can be cleared in roughly the same time as RPD1 in RE2R is so cool to me for some reason
