Q3 speedrunning highlight left me speechless.

[Destroid]

I had no idea this sort of competition existed for Q3. It's essentially players speedrunning obstacle courses in Q3, rather than the usual DM etc. I doubt I would enjoy playing it terribly much, but it's certainly impressive to watch.

 

[DraQ]

Something like BT for UT?

 

[racofer]

Quake 3 is obviously dumbed down since it doesn't have advanced tactics like getting into cover.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

I don't care what SP fags say, Quake 3 was id's last good game.

There's a lot of great defrag movies. F.e.

From 12:46, I mean, how can't you love this stuff?

The art of traversal in classic shooters like Q3 is something that really needs to be recuperated by developers. Why take cover when you can take flight?

 

[SoupNazi]

Plasma wall running never really worked for me. :/

Because it's impossible with a gamepad.

 

[Ulminati]

Clearly someone overclocked his gamepad.

I want to see a consoletard doing that with a gamepad.

"Hold A while you steer into any direction with the analog stick to bunny hop."

"Hold A while you steer into any direction with the analog stick to bunny hop."

Until you accidentally move close to a wall, since A doubles as your cover button.

 

[Oesophagus]

I don't remember Q3 looking that good.

That part with the castle jumping is fucking amazing, I'm struggling to believe the video wasn't sped up

 

[MetalCraze]

I'd actually gladly play a first person platformer like this on Q3 engine. Seems like Q3's gameplay is already good enough for this. That crazy speed, plasma-wallrunning, huge jumps and all.

That's a glorious PC gaming speed bro. Lay off your untermensch Xbawks.

You know, Q3 actually has deathmatch mods that play at comparable speeds, complete with the bullshit movement physics necessary for controlling your momentum in midair.

 

[DraQ]

I've heard that it's impossible to platform accurately in first person, any truth to that?

 

[fizzelopeguss]

 

[asper]

Quake3 was the last really fast game

 

[M_I_C_K_E_Y_M_O_U_S_E]

Yes, Q3 is makes for a pretty amazing platformer game.



One for the ages. Not a speed run, but it involves lots of very complicated rocket, grenade jumps and wall running

The whole Event Horizon series is excellent also and is more of a team based style of trick jumping with some impressive highlingsts involving the railgun and plasma running off of each other

whilst I am really bad at it, I really do love a good q3/ql dm. What are the major tournys for 2012?
