bendak Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Wasn't sure whether to post this in PC Gaming or here...anyway. Go download this: http://www.planetquake3.net/download.php?op=fileid&lid=1687&ttitle=CeTuS_-_The_Movie The texas server should work right away, no waiting. You need the Xvid codec installed. This is sort of a cult mod that has kept Quake 3 alive. People build these giant levels and the goal is to make it through as quick as possible, down to the millisecond. And in the process they pull off some crazy tricks. What you see isn't doctored in any way...these are the real in-game physics of Quake 3, and if you have played you will remember stuff like strafe-jumping where you could build up insane speed, rocket jumping, stuff like that. Anyway, the video is a blast...well it is to me anyway. Whenever I have buddies over I throw this up on the projector but no one else seems to understand how cool it is. Maybe it's because I used to be a big Quake 3 player (Rocket Arena mostly). They don't understand the skill involved to exploit Quake 3's physics to this ridiculous level. Oh and you don't need to be a quake fan to enjoy this, just a big first person shooter fan. Remember...it's all real! :rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Moved this over to the PC area Kami. I'll be downloading it when I get home. Old school Quake 3 fan (though I played a whole lot more Urban Terror than outright Quake 3). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 WOW! That's an awesome video. At times I especially loved the style/look of things. Very cool. The video actually makes me wonder if a game couldn't be created around the idea... an FPS where your a person on foot with crazy tools to help you scale walls, blast yourself all over, etc. It could be a new kind of racing game.

The Quake 3 engine source code is out for free right now under the GPL license...it would be cool if someone stepped up to the plate and created a simple game where you do just that. It would even make an interesting Xbox Live Arcade game. You'll be able to find lots of other "Tricking" videos on that same site, but this one still remains my favorite. Some of them are just straight out tricking in normal quake 3 levels, others are these race types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdForged Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Dear mama. I... no. But... no. Wow. And to think I was happy with my strafe jumping, rocket jumping, and plasma climbing. Now is the time on Sprockets when we cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
