they were lucky garpy was not invited...

Is that seriously all the players they could rustle up? I thought there was a lot more people playing.

Anyway congrats to Hypno. :)

you coulda added for 1 more :D

was a very good tournament though. Zaccubus and bleh presented it well.

gg's! Go sas! :)

Well the game is still in pre-alpha. There arent that many that are playing reguarly because it still changes a lot for each update. Guess the game will grow when epic starts to promote it a bit more :)

Perhaps! I guess the difference is that UT4 is a new game instead of a remake for Browsers :)

I enjoyed QL a lot tho and it was successful enough for me to have so hopefully I can get another shooter like that soon :)

what? UT4 is basicaly a remake of UT3.

Read his whole post, he said remake for Browsers.
UT4 is a remake of 3 like CS:GO is a remake of 1.6. Which is a comparison with a lot of baggage but I still think it's appropiate.

I would say that you cant really compare UT4 with QL.

UT4 is community driven development with full access to source code and a new engine (latest avail). The community has already done a lot of maps (tho mostly remakes so far)

But as I said..Quake 3 was such a good game so not much changes were needed compared to the latest iterations of UT ;)

It might look a lot like UT3 atm but that is just because of some reussed skins and models, I would say that the game plays more like UT1 which I guess is a good thing but I hope that they try some more new stuff. :)

aco lost his forst match? im disappointed

Don't think he arrived in time, so was a no show :(

He would have made it to the semi-final imo

such a shame that the developers aren't more open to movement changes or improvements and are sticking with the deceleration-on-land 'penalty'. i think that with only a minor ability to chain movements more fluidly they could've reached a far greater playerbase.

and i'm not even talking about strafejumping. i always really liked the dodge mechanic, and i like the new slide.. but for the love of god, just let us build up some momentum from earlier moves up to a certain speed, nothing more. :]

too bad, cause the game looks insanely good otherwise.

you should watch some hypno vods he has a very smooth movement

i did actually :] and even though one can see he has mastered the movement to near-perfection as a player, for me watching it, the game still at times makes it look like he's struggling to get to that item or weapon far away across an open space with nowhere to wall-dodge off. like a hare with a broken leg, or.. idk, a grasshopper that can't do another jump without stopping for a short moment. i don't know exactly how to describe it, but that stopping power as the player hits the floor is bothering me.

this is of course all completely subjective, and i might be delusional. :]

It is still under development, so there is hope to make the movement more fluid.

People made some pretty cool movement prototypes when the game was first announced but everyone on the forums was completely against anything that wasnt UT99 or something that the developers suggested.

I would totally play it more if it had the dodge bounce mechanic that funeral came up with and if it could be combo'd with sliding. That looked insanely fun

yeah, that's actually what i had in mind when i wrote that post, but didn't have the time to look those videos up and link them. :] there were many legitimate approaches to said problem and the developers dismissed them all, or they simply got scared of the UT community feedback. was also about to experiment and propose some solutions of my own, but seeing how all these guys got ignored i kinda gave up on that. perhaps i'll give it a go this month if i find the time.

i remember seeing one user movement prototype variant that allowed for seamless chaining of jumps, dodges and slides without ever getting that "glue pullback" effect, but with a restriction to specific combinations of moves and a reasonably capped max speed. now i can't find it anywhere no matter how hard i look. typical. :\

It may have been my dear friend gilanguar who came up with a dodge jump slide chaining mechanic:



Go to 6:00

I would have loved this method being implemented too. Probably better than funerals idea actually

nope, not the one. ^ this is good, but the one i remember was better as it allowed for faster covering of distances in large open areas. nevertheless, i think anything in this direction would be better than what is implemented now. :]

*Go to 6:00* ^ ^

i saw Hypno in an earlier duel on the UT dev stream, he reminds me of Killu & GitzZz

GitzZz is really good too.

I mostly watch CTF so cafe is my man

This is a long time ago, must be around UT2003 times, i remember Epic's @MarkRein was in Germany on a german TV Games Show promoting UT2003

Was pretty good to watch even as someone who only knew a few of the players and a couple of the maps.

Something like this came surprisingly late for UT4. Its been a pretty solid game for a while now and has a community of dedicated players.

They had the CTF exhibition and stuff.

Epic doesn't seem to like Duel as such. They seem to be pushing for Showdown

Nice hypno!!!
Happy to see you always on top :)

twitch vods are the worst.... always laggy for me somehow

Totally, it's difficult to watch anything on twitch for me for some reason.

Same. And I have a very stable 128mbit connection.
Twitch is a nightmare.

I have that from times to times where it rebuffers every 3 seconds but works just fine after I refreshed the page.. go figure

Have you tried livestreamer? It uses VLC player to play streams off of Twitch. It works with VODs from Twitch as well.

Livestreamer is also available on Linux, MacOs X and Windows : http://docs.livestreamer.io/index.html

the download rates are not that good ether ... maybe routing

When i download the streams on Linux with youtube-dl the stream gets interrupted a lot and starts again ... sort of download manager

3hrs of 720p @ 60fps could take over 5GB !

why they use 48000hz of sound encoding ...

Can you recommend any games? I didnt catch it all

godlike sulaco,

Dylan vs tobe 2nd map

tobe vs godlikeno 3rd place

and the final to

a random question i hope someone can answer:

- is dylan = demondylan who was a regular at elite trials in ut2k4?

Yes it is :)

demondylan! this is too good :D

Freakin' knew it ! :) Interesting how trickers usually do so well in "shooting modes" as well / apart from me ^^ /, i remember when Holy was in cLosE for some CB cup, he was wicked as well, good times ! Glad to see a fella prospering in new ut :)

Good luck to you sir,
Larkin

He is, they mention it in one of the VODs (his semi match, I think). He did some moves and Zacc was like "that's the trial knowledge helping" or something like it

dylan has the quickest moves in the game so far guy can be nightmare to chase down

Don't know how people even remember that nick from 10 years ago, i completely forgot about it until now aha :D

They make so much noise picking up the VILES :D

... and wonder why he gets a shock kombo in his face :DDD

Semi final 2 --- hypno vs godlike_no
