intense!

This is one of the most frustrating frag movies I've ever watched. I seriously can't handle third person views of frags and this movie is rife with them, even swapping out of first person POV before a kill has happened to show you the slow-mo third person view of a rocket/nade hitting.

It's really beyond me why someone would pick a plasma effect which makes it significantly harder to see the actual kill too. I found the name text pretty difficult to read, which was distracting.

Sometimes I feel like most moviemakers got together, back in around 2005, and agreed to only make movies with effects and approaches I'd hate, then they got everyone else in on the conspiracy by getting them to publicly state they love those kinds of movies.

I like the concept, especially the amount of time that's been spent on searching through event demos, and I wish there were more movies which went to those lengths, but I really didn't enjoy this movie.

I've got something for you:

^worth a watch just for the through-the-roof level of frags but the music wasn't special enough. gienek knows how to edit but if he gave those frags to cop or KOS it would have been fucking uuuuuuuuber.

it would, yes. but it's pretty special as it is

Very nice frags, not overedited or over-effected, minimal 3rd person, the music is not bad either. Worth watching, even multiple times.

This movie gave me Anthrax.

The maker should be Slayed.

And afterwards, Suffocated, Immolated, Dismembered and Entombed.

Entombing is a nice sentimental touch 0:

Give his Carcass to the Mortician and put him in an Acid Bath, let the Abominable Putridity be spread around a Circle of Dead Children to mark the Festival of Mutilation. Then will commence Devourment of the Human Remains by Vulgar Pigeons sent by the Behemoth At The Gates.

This is fun :)

It's strange because I personally hate third person in movies, but I had no problem with them here.

But I agree on plasma, that fx is just horrible.

Still, I loved every second of the movie. It's just epic.

I agree with the plasma effect definitely, ruins the whole frag for me in any movie.

Then maybe watch some Fragcompilations?
Movies have some effects and special views, different from natural scenes...

Plasma effect aside, I loved this movie, and I was very surprised by the negative response (legitimate, ofc) of the first replies. As one of the many in the conspiracy, let me explain my opinion.

This to me is not a regular frag movie. It's not about discovering crazy new content. It's about highlighting moments I feel very connected to, moments I consider mine, even if my part in them was just to be there and watch.

You've been in the scene for a very long time, you lived the early days, so you may have a different perspective. But for a guy like me, this is what Quake is. ESL with Joe and 2GD is when I realized duel was something accessible, when I slowly started learning what this game truly is. And these tournaments, these frags, are what did set the bar - in my eyes - as for what Quake can be at the highest level.

So, about the presentation in this movie, I think the point is that I remember seeing these frags, and found that the camera work was all about the depiction of the moment, and not the frags themselves. There is something about the dynamics of the fights shown here - the flow - that drives me crazy. I watch them, and something inside me clicks. I know it's not what was shown, but after watching this movie what I see are slow motions, with the players, rockets, grenades, all suspended in the air, building the anticipation for that epic moment, that sweet spot in my mind, that makes me cry to the world “I am a fucking Quaker, and it’s the best thing ever”. Not many movies can bring me there.

very bad

Love the atmosphere and emotional cutscenes. Also the frags are mostly superb.

What I didnt like: ... some of the moments shoulve included casting, for example the double air by cypher. At other times, the volume of casting is too low compared to the game volume. Also, too short :>

But overall, for me, this was the best movie ive seen in a long time.

10/10, will watch again.

(DL link?)

epic moments-10/10

unwatchable - 0/10
-------------

5/10

for the effort and the epic moments

+ Quake Live
+ Music that adds to mood

- Slowmotion everywhere
- Barely readable font
- Bad quality captures from livestreams
- Kickscale
- Blood instead of sparks
- Plasma is too obstructive

Beg to differ regarding the blood, as they used them only in slomo moments iirc.

In fact, in those I would have appreciated some gibs too. Back in q3 days, I've occasionally joined ffa games with all the gore turned on just to enjoy all the messiness ;)

I know I will maybe called a sissy but I can't enjoy fragmovies because of the blood. I love Quake for being appealing to the mind, not this messy sensation that reminds me of actual bodies being smashed. A Frag is not a kill. That's why Quake can be one of the Egoshooters watchable for a broader audience, IMHO. It's about control and concentration, actually being above rage and all the emotion that comes with the freakingly intense amount of energy flowing into it. Seeing how players actually manage to do that absolutely amazes me.
So I don't know, maybe blood in frag-movies isn't that necessary? If you want to enjoy gore watch gore-movies, I would call you a desensitized freak but that's only one opinion.

epic! still got the booklet im my q3 box.. 2bad boxed version is not sold anymore.

yeah it's me again, same anon, maybe I should make an account.. just wanted to add I would leave the "desensitized freak"-thing out of it. I know people who love that stuff who are in fact very nice and kind persons. Doesn't change the fact that I personally don't like to see so much blood and messiness in frag-movies ;)

For me, if it doesn't have blood n' gibs it isn't 100% quake.



Can you feel the harosh coursing through you veins now? Can you see the clouds of red mist rising from the depths of the Abyss? CAN YOU TASTE THE BLACK BLOOD OF OBLIVION NOW MOTHERFUCKER?

nope, can't see the image, but i can imagine. Taste it, if you want. Just won't watch frag-movies then. Experience violence and maybe you will stop glorifying it.

@admin don't post I don't want to take the fun out of Quake. Let's keep it cool.

A matter of matter.

You're reading too much into it. The way q3 was made, it was more of a comic than anything else.

Of course, the mind game is the more interesting part. Also because it's the one aspect that is about winning (a duel, in particular). But it's a testament to the richness of q3 that it also had those whacky visual sensations to offer. The occasional sensual distraction and relaxation moment, if you will, in case you ever felt like turning the gibs on.

In fact, it wasn't only the visuals. It was also those totally crazy smacking sounds you'd hear when the opponent falled apart from a direct hit, in a rain of blood with bits and pieces of skull flying around and hitting the ground eventually.

Jesus. Whoever designed all that off-beat artwork, and I readily dare to call it that, was one uncompromising creative mofo.

That's the beauty of quake, you can strip away the beautiful visuals to leave the raw game of skill, and add them back with a vengeance for fragmovies.

I remember playing q3 when I was younger, and that I didn't care. But now I have a strong reaction against those visual effects, I really can't watch it. If it's a matter of matter, the relation between fiction and reality or whatever is another discussion that would really read too much into it. It's only that I happen to like Quake quite a lot lately, especially the artwork in it, but I can't find those visual effects beautiful. Doesn't matter much I suppose, I can watch the games and pass out on the Frag-Movies. Have a nice journey into oblivion or something, whatever makes you feel good.

Sure. Still keep in mind where quakelive is coming from. Namely doom, quake, quake2 and quake3. Which all had a single player component that basically amounted to running around and shooting monsters, and see those darn creatures falling apart nicely.

That totally pure multiplayer game you're seeing today is effectively not a creation of the vendor, id Software. It's rather that part of the game the players made survive, by taking the most fun out of it and developing it to the level you're seeing today, gameplay wise.

For many long-time quakers though this is still only part of the game. So I guess the occasional moment of nostalgia and longing for the visual action of former times should be in order, shouldn't it. Your personal reservations notwithstanding.

I agree. This is typical for modern USA pop culture.
All the violence and gore you want but no sex for kids. I think everyone can see the effects.

I understand the intention behind the movie, I really do. what's more I really appreciate it as I appreciate the work and love that clearly was put into it. that being said the movie is flawed with things that have already been mentioned. too much 3rd person, too pompous, some sound problems and bad font and config choices (i really fucking hate that plasma effect as well:]). all in all a decent package though. I'll give it 7 why not.

ninja edit: I have rewatched it a couple of times and am starting to change my mind. although the problems are still valid the atmosphere of the thing and the fact that it's unique started to grow on me. So I'm changing my rating to 9 (yes) and advice everyone to give it some time before judging not to make a mistake i have made.

Will watch later but if its anything like the first one then its an auto-10

the only things i disliked were the plasma-particle-effect and the 3rd person scences. but this are personal preferences.

damn hot frags from pros against pros on huge events and epic comebacks.
and the most intense and memorable ql-moments of the past years.
excellent movie!
11/10

10/10 idea
6/10 overall execution
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Raffer contents
-not enough casting\text to understand those moments
-frag message

8/19

Plasma effect and ubersmall fragmessages were quite annoying, content was great. Nice to know youre still alive too D:

to much of everything that's already been way over done.

Could've been incredibly good, ruined by a bit too much eyefuckery.

Over-edited and over-produced. Even if it's a 'memorial', it needn't have the intercutting of a thriller, or the orchestral soundtrack of an epic. All I need to see are frags, and if you like, a few photographs/shots of the players/casters/crowd. You don't have to somehow combine that with the quake source material and turn it into some sort of pseudo-thriller film. It's a bunch of awesome guys on a LAN playing some awesome matches, nothing more.

Several of these frags have been already been used in other movies. See Stermy x} and The Afterspray.

Couldnt agree more.

The powerout drama was when strenx had lost timing on mega when resuming the game right? Which saved the day for cooller?

wasted effort

e: only good thing in this movie is cooller smiling after beating strenx :D

10/10 for quake

wtf is going on with those obits and fragmessages? Completely fucked up. I really liked the real-life-footage cut in. Music fits well. Strange fonds. Editing was good. The black and bright editing in the beginning (0:30-0:40) was absolute trash. Appreciate the effort tracking down all the moments. Where did you take the cheering sound from?

the cheering sound comes from the original quakecon 2009 finals vod ( rapha vs spart1e - dm6)

Solid content, super annoying editing.

didnt watch rated 1/10 to make the bars look like steps

smh..then lol

Third person view and some elements prevent viewers to see actions clearly... too bad. But the music, and everything else was very good, even excellent, it's a shame some elements messed up the whole thing :(.

I could watch Av3k's plasmagun over and over.

Because it's all you can see..

Not sure to get what you are insinuating here tbh.

The fuckin eyebleed-effects.

Well, I was expecting so much more with the names + frags in this vid... Shame they've all just been wasted in such a poorly produced movie! Sure the moments are all epic and that's obviously the main reason for the movie, but these frags + casts could have been made to look and feel so much fucking better, pretty sure someone else could have made a far better movie with possibly more moments and with more casts as well. Even the quality and config just looked shit, this content deserves far better!

maybe you?

I'm horrific at this stuff, I wouldn't even bother :(

As has been mentioned above, I had trouble with the following:

- unnecessary 3rd person povs (switching to 3rd person in the key moments of any battle is silly, but doing it in the middle of an air-rocket sequence is just retarded, the only exception being cypher dahang @ dm6 which the movie managed to pull off well). As the movie progressed they didn't bother me as much... I guess they either became less frequent or I had got used to them, or maybe I was so caught up in the atmosphere I stopped giving a fuck :D

- This also applies to the blinding plasma effect. It was really annoying, but it gradually bothered me less, probably for the same reasons.

- unreadable player names (checking the current player should be as fast as possible, while here it sometimes took a whole second for me to decypher the font, and one second is way too long). This stopped bothering me too because I simply stopped giving a fuck and recognized half of the frags anyway.

- weird & irritating choice of fragmessage style. Again, I stopped giving a fuck.

The movie should have been a 10/10, but it's somewhat a flawed masterpiece because of these key flaws. I'm really torn between giving it a 7 or a 8.... but the sheer amount of gibs will make me go with a 8. I can understand Thorin's harsh reaction because I felt exactly the same during the first few minutes... but I just went with the flow, accepted it wasn't going to be the 10/10 movie I hoped, and enjoyed it for what it was.

ggs looking forward to more of stuermer's shit in the future. And now, imma watch it again. Great music and I enjoyed the high-contrast bits and also the live footage sequences were perfectly timed.

Edit: watched it 3 times. Gonna give it a 9.

I think you guys are missing the point here.

If you wanna see pro quake, learn tactics and how to aim and dodge, exec your r_picmip 10 configs and watch some demos.

I think this movie is very well conceived for the solely purpose of attracting new players, and people to be interested for the game.
New players get impressed by neat graphics and out of the caracther moments, the movement of the model, the environment.

If you guys can't see past that your bad.

When i started playing quake i was inlove by that .. ofc later i just was interested in getting better and watching real quake. But it was those aspects that got my attention.

I think the showing of the players, rapha talking about it, the showing of crowded LAN is aiming the new players to feel excited about the game. You gonna put a shitty cfg demo for them they will watch 1 min.

I give 10/10 for the effort and for cooller's DA.

Ofcourse ofcourse.. i know ESR is gonna ESR.

Well, whenever I watch any fragmovie, I'm constantly thinking "how would this look to someone who had never seen QL before". I always take this into account and give a movie higher ratings if it's newbie friendly. This movie is newbie friendly, but it could have been even more so without the excessively blinding plasma and unnecessary 3rd person pov switches at key moments in combat.

Coincidentally the other day I was just a click away from publishing a massive wall of text where I basically request people to give their recommendation for what would be the single perfect fragmovie to show someone who had never touched QL before :D But I decided not to... might still do it though.

Ye i agree that things can always be better, afterall most of us are quite perfectionist, and i agree with the plasma thing aswell.

well criticizing something and getting past it's flaws are two different things in my oppinion. and the flaws mentioned are really disturbing, because sometimes they get in the way of enjoying fucking amazing frags. all in all the movie still was an enjoyable experience for me that's why I rated it the way I did.

rarely have i been so disappointed with a quakemovie

not because its bad, but because it could have been great without the so obvious flaws that have been pointed out in numerous attempts before
- bad font
- way to much 3rd person
- way to much slow motion

when will people ever understand that 3rd person and slow motion only adds something to the experience when they are special, like appearing once in a movie to underline a special moment but not to show general content (makes the game both slow and unwatchable)
and what crossed the makers mind while picking that font is completly beyond me

7/10, mainly because the epic feeling didnt completly get destroyed

slow motion didn't bother me at all

esr bitches. great lg fights effects
10/10

Honestly I thought this movie would be misunderstood from the moment I finished it..

This isnt a frag movie. It is as the name implies a memorandum for these players and the moments they have in their times of glory, and also a few examples of these intense situations that can only, ever happen in high profile tourneys, in essence its a movie about current quake esports and along with the music it delivers extremely well for this.

9/10

pretty much that.

Which players? Couldn't read shit without pausing the movie. Were there any names?

there was a lot of rapha

was extremely easy to figure out it was all the 6 players in the description. Again it's not a frag movie anyway, the frags don't need to be associated with any of the name specifically imo (unless its a sequence of how x player gained the lead or won in overtime etc)

Yeah it bothered me at first but then I realized it wasn't important and stopped giving a fuck... still, it could have been done with a better font.

How does this movie have an average rating below 8. i dont get it.

Contains the best Quake footage of the last 4 years. Intensifies it all to the maximum and sends goosebumps all over me. I can't fathom how any actual Quaker can dislike this.

Sure, it could be improved by more casted bits, some effects here and there were either unnecessary or moderately messy. Although give a shit, this looks like it required one hell of a lot of effort and I fucking love it.

10/10 for rocking my world

this is the worst quake vid i think i've ever seen. Just way to much editing. So much, it was distracting and took away from the content.
I had to turn it off after a minute. It was so bad it actually made me angry from watching it.

At least it didn't give you cancer!

it may have. my balls have swelled to six times their normal size.

its like with you casting. no matter how great the match is, you make it less enjoyable! :D

AMAZING MOVIE!!!

I just loved it, well done!!

It's a decent movie, but it's better then watching a video from Heartless

10/10

Only downsides I could find to this movie was annoying plasmas effects and too much slow motion. Besides that it really brought back the chilling nostalgia from the ESL glory days <3

9/10

I like the way you use real life video footage in this movie (and in Memorial 1. here's the link if someone's interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqKL_hJWbdk).

You could plaster diarrhoea anal gaping videos with The Killers soundtrack and upload in 240p for all I care, using IEM IV demos should grant an instant 10.

I'll watch it later, now sleep bed morning night.

From where do you pull all of this from?...oh jeez nm :) This thread delivers chock-full-plethora range of the dystopian ESR universe.

Nice but the quality is not that great.... also too much msgs on the screen

Small cross with hitstyle 2 would have been usefull in some parts. Too much LG and frags after frags, we don't have time to realise what match was it, what situation (ie last map, tie frags etc) The image is a bit too blury/messy in some actions but the flow is very nice.

good movie, I enjoyed it tbh

cons:
1.plasma effect

2.too much use of orchestral/epic music (should've mixed it up with some hip-hop, funk, trance, dnb, dubstep etc. [something in the style & spirit of "Juno Reactor & Don Davis - Navras" or "Nero - Me & You"])

3.few captions & the hud was kinda misplaced

4.the use of third person (i think frags should always end in first person but occasional third persons are also good)

still i'm going to give it a solid 9/10

Such a well done movie for promoting the game. Yes there were a few annoying points that have been mentioned but who cares its about capturing the audience and drawing them into the game. It did just that it made me want to watch it a few times, mostly because of the player reactions. The scenes with cooler playing and the two cameras pointed at him were just great and it showed the stress of having to play as a top competitor in this game.

To all people who hate 3rd person view your all on crack! Go and watch any mainstream movie they are all filmed in 3rd person POV. Since this is a Quake MOVIE there should be 3rd person POV and tbh it transitions well between both POV's to give great perspective.

As a Quake fan and Castor I thought it was excellent and I hope that everyone that watches this movie and any other Quake Movie should be promoting it on there twitter/facebook accounts. You all complain about how dead the game is so do something as simple as promoting it through the media outlets that are at your finger tips!!

10/10

I enjoyed it

Seeing Thorin and xterm's bookend comments on this thread(at least when I replied) really tells me this frag movie is worth watching. Appreciate that somebody began with a particular premise before simply slathering on effects to a random series of frags.
kudos dKsL

(not so)quick addendum: This movie just keeps getting better and better with viewings for many reasons, but most notably because it's telling a story, a chronicle of this game's competitive highpoints.
I've never "followed" a frag movie like I did this one: not like a watching a fireworks display where each dazzle is inert from the rest -- no each frag had a context, a real time and place and most importantly, a face behind the action.
Lastly, it can be easy to create a frag movie with chaotic, silly humor or one that simply serves as a CV for one's video editing skillset. Much more than documentary, this movie shows a true love for the physics, skill and far above all, passion for playing this game(fist pump footage, winner's reactions,etc.). Damn!

Like the frags but shit editing. Slowmo and some weird camera angles.

big [+] for effects!

I'M TALKING IT

Very lazy on the cfg... like just taken kittenignitions cfg and not changed a thing or something. Misplaced frag messages and even a low ammo warning message popped up.

Have no emotions. It's about 6/10, coz absolutely nothing after watch, only for idea.

bah, fuck it. 10/10 + bookmark

10/10 just for making Memorial 2 o/

Frag message placement wasn't that good, font is tiny, looks a bit over-edited. Can't see through plasma effect.

But they there's no The killers soundtrack.

Rated 1/10 because it made the histogram look nicer.

This movie was badass, I love the epic style of it. It should be played in movie theaters in the previews, shits nuts.

However - did this guy forget cyberfight.ru in his links of quake sites?

cuz lol

cba 9/10 (-1 for TOO MUCH EPIC MUSIC FFS)

I thought it was just right :|

That's the first thing that got to me. Other than that -- pretty much what Thorin said, but considering the effort the moviemaker has made -- 9.

wow, intro longer then shaolin productions + epic music + crapload of editing + abuse of pov switching. creative as fuck, worst shit i've seen in a long time. here's a 0/10.

orlf

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

best comment ever

Only movie with which epic music fits.

+Great concept
+The frags i want to see
+looks polished


-To high fov.
-Does it spell killben?
-effects.

Pros:
+ Great soundtrack - got an epic vibe top it

+ Great frags

+ Really liked the mix of interview / casting bits from tournaments, makes you feel like its more than a game and is actually a e-sport

Cons:
- Too much 3rd person, it felt too overused, couldn't understand what's going on at times and me took away from that awesome feeling you get when watching an epic frag. I think I only appreciated 3rd person when I saw a frag that can't be seen from 1st person (like spamming nades to YA below mega on T7 - or somebody falling to lava)

- Config + Plasma effects

- Volume of in game sound / casters too low compare to music

- Text: hard to read who are we watching / who got fragged

- At moments when time was a factor (Stermy vs Killsen T7 / Rapha vs Stermy LW) it felt weird that we had a timer to show how close to the end of the map it was but then we saw a shot of some live tournament footage and back to the game - it really took away the tension. (But the idea is great - wish the footage was before / after the frags and the frags as one consecutive sequence)



Overall great movie, and I do feel it's more than a frag movie - it's a movie that captures some of the best moments in the golden era of Quake Live.

8/10

Bestest movie for a long time.
12/10, would watch again and again.

Quite possibly the best fragmovie I have ever seen in terms of goosebumps factor.

I personally loved all the freecaming.

Some minor flaws with blinding plasma and in general too much/many editing/effects (and the unreadable player-names), but didn't see something like this since oldschool days (remembering Annihilation, Virtuosity & sorts). Gave me goosebumps and a nostalgic feeling. For that alone 10/10 no matter the cons.

fuck guise, I get an ever bigger boner every time I watch this. 11/10

- config

+ everything else

Most of the problems have been laid out above except one: The video CONSTANTLY cuts to the face of a player who has nothing to do with the frag happening on screen. Cypher LG'ing Avek then cut to K1llsen's face... wtf man?

stermy comeback vs rapha / rapha iview -> rapha takes it back
av3k shoots enemy into lava -> av3ks reaction
cypher face -> cypher's airrockets against dahang
cooller's 1st place frag vs rapha (ztn) -> cooller's "DA"
cypher lg'ing rapha -> mousemovement of cypher
no face -> rapha LG'ing cypher
k1llsen face ->k1llsen frag bodzo
avek face/headset -> avek lg k1llsen
cooller face - >cooller lg rapha
rapha frags spart1e -> raphas emotions

so no its not randomly placed

here is the power failure of the IntelExtremeMasters in full lenght >8-)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR64rfktyy8

This is the best homage one could make to quake live. Seriously, there are so many great moments I still remember and after seeing that movie you just know why quake is the best fucking game. I saw most of that stuff live and your movie brings back so many memories perfectly. K1llsen raping rapha, stermy incredible comeback, strenx with the impossible move etc.
Some people here cleary don't know what you tried to achieve :(


The only downers are
- config
- sound quality (might be utube)
- low quality scenes (obviously not ur fault but hq would have been so better)
- font (might also be due to utube)
- no dl link :P

Und spiel mal wieder mehr, fps cup waere fuer dich locker (wenn sogar twister reinkommt :D) machbar und sicherlich ein ansporn ;)
Ach und frag mal k1llsen wegen frag movie, falls du fuer sowas zeit hast ^.^

horrible fonts,
derquaker.de is false
killsen.de is false

the funny thing is the movie is made by a german.
dksl you failed alot.

alot is three words

accidentally plussed :(

wtf I've watched this like 15 times already and it just gets better each time WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT

lol same here!

gotta agree. my harsh first reaction oppinion vanished into the air like gentle farts of a pretty lady on a camping trip after eating some beans.



??i don't even??

*opens window* rofl, you had me at "beans." :) :)

troll movie?

im working on a download link + better quality, and i also agree with on the font problem.

for the dl version i delete the effect on it, so its better visible (but the font stays the same). and i increase the casting volume.

anyway thanks for the criticism and all of you who enjoyed it

good man!

.

I really enjoyed this movie, very nicely made! :)

JUST WOW
this movie gave me goosebumps!!

It's seriously missing the "av3k leaving quake" scene :)

yes but hes still playing somehow, but it was truely an emotional moment. also i missed when cooller won iem european

but overall this was pure epicness. i give it a 9/10, just for the shitty cfg, but it could easily deserve a 10/10 if it would get fixed

Very nice movie. Sweet memories and the music sets a fitting mood for the whole movie.

I just love the switch between real-player footage and actions in QL.....this movie makes them heroes...GREAT MOVIE!!

24 hours later, after watching it 20 times, I can happily ignore the flaws and consider this shit to be one of my favourite QL fragmovies ever. For anyone who doesn't like it, all I can suggest is, watch it a couple more times, it will all sink in eventually :D As long as Memorial 3 takes into consideration the flaws that people have pointed out, I dare say it will be beyond orgasmic.

best quake movie since q3fuel, amazing

i like this very much

http://www.esreality.com/post/2399266/univers...rth-quake/
http://www.youtube.com/v/swxgA5Y9Hrs&hd=1

if not major annoyances voiced above, this could have been hall of fame of all time. Epic vision. Requires cleanup. Just redo and get 10/10 from virtually everyone here.

done

Finally watched it.

It's different. Not a fragmovie but a quake lan movie from the viewers' point of view. Could have used more content though, telling a story from the beginning of QL (this one doesn't do that much) and not only showing the ups but the downs too, maybe some tdm as well.

Loved it!

awesome, not sure how anyone can dislike this

didnt get why anyone could dislike such good movie.
dont read the shitbull, just watch.

with normal frag message and without that plasma would be a solid 10

otherwise very good movie 9/10

also hoping there'll be a 60fps downloadable version

Nice movie, but I think there should be more information given about the frags (players and tournament). The frag message is so tiny and there is often barely time enough to read it.

Hmm... Intense intro, promising... effects. As the actual frags start, what i see:

1. Overbrightbits 1? Looks like a players cfg, no shadows. Honestly, rest of the game looks from 90s and plasma looks like the most amazing thing in the entire movie?

2. Oh my god the quality of SFX, were the demos ripped off youtube? My ears died every time a rocket was launched

What this movie is: Overly dramatic, promising intro with a bunch of weird, dark effects and interesting shiny fonts. Very unfitting cfg and terrible sound.

I cant make any better, but this is shit.

Is there a good reason as to why there are no strenx frags apart from the obvious one ?

EDIT : Ah, maybe it's because he didn't win any LAN event ? Don't remember if stermy did...

That was slowly bothering me too as I watched until the power blackout sequence finally and rightfully placed Strenx's name in that legendary context.
I blame that initial objection on being so used to straightforward "best of the best frag highlight" generica movies -- so that when a movie like this comes along with a very specific intention, you have to reset your expectations.

very nice effects and editing! Love it!
start to play again dksl!

I've watched this about 40 times already.

That rocket slow-mo with the sound btw. $$

more like $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

fucking amazing!
could easily be put on the quakelive front page as a vid for new ppl who are interested in the game, if you make the cut just before the power outage.

loses some intensity after that point imo- especially during the strenx-cooller incident, although the rapha footage at the end is a great ending :D

10/10 would bang

cool concept but i personally hate the hans zimmer soundtrack

This movie has some flaws but boy I have watched this like 20 times but still feels as fresh. This movie needs to be the official advertisement for quakelive. Upped my rating to 10/10.

thanks

i already working on the flaws (HUD, playerfont, rocketsound bugs, low quality event/player footage, plasmagun effect + increase the length by 2-3 minutes). i also adding some action by strenx

later

needs more work on music selection 7/10

new version is up
