<div class="IPBDescription">Game play music video</div>Hey everyone!

I had the idea to make a music video featuring most of the game play aspects and combat in NS2. I did it for fun and also to hopefully add a little more publicity for Unknown Worlds and NS2.

Just a few notes. FRAPS records to the same Hard Drive the game runs off of, I don't have two :( , so you will see a small amount of "stuttering or skipping" because while I play and record especially if there is a lot going on I take a nice performance hit because the Hard Drive is to strained. Normally I average 25-45 FPS. With Fraps recording It dropped to 12-20. It still came out really good and mostly smooth. This is really no different then what NS2HD is doing. But it shows a lot of combat and you get some kick ass songs playing while you watch. It's about 8 minutes long.

Let me know what you think guys! It was fun making. I wish it could of been better quality and had better effects. But I don't own any movie making software so I was stuck with Windows Movie Making...Yuck.

    I did an equal amount of killing and dying. Some of the shots transition to another scene right as I am killing the marines. The one where I am chasing him as a skulk it fades out the second I land the bite. The lerk scene as I am crawling in the eggs it transitions. As it's moving up you can see the +5 on my screen. The goal was to show me both killing and getting killed. I didn't want people going. "Worthless video...it's just his ego showing nothing but kill shots." I also wanted to show it so people would see the grenade launchers and flame throwers make you powerful...but not invincible. Also to emphasize that the hit registration was fixed a few builds ago, showing both sides are equal in that area.

    Thanks for the positive feed back everyone :) If you really enjoyed it I may just make more. Soon as Tram becomes more playable with large sums of people I will have to record that one.

    That mean: You're not a gringo so we don't let you see it. Please get a green card first.

    Please, don't use copyrighted music, not all of us could see it this way.

    It's also posted on my face book page. Not sure if that will make a difference. But it should get around that filter that blocks this stuff in certain regions.

    Just a selfish bump :)
  • OPIEOPIE Join Date: 2002-11-12 Member: 8343Members
    One more selfish bump and then I leave it to die.

    But seriously guys if you watched it, please comment on it and let me know what you think. The main goal is to gain publicity for NS2. The more people that like it the more that will watch outside the community. That's the goal.

    Everyone who can't watch the video on Youtube, and who doesn't feel like opening a Facebook account just to watch a video, google for Youtube proxy. Some of them work.

    Also everyone in the German speaking world: This guy is just as frustrated about stuff like this as we are: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niJWmdnxEFc" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niJWmdnxEFc</a> (**** Sony Entertainment - Sid der Liedermacher)
