slow as hell and dead ugly robots. but it still deserves a thumb. mostly for the city scene.

I could leave one of these robots parked on the street with the cockpit unlocked and the keys in, and it wouldn't get nicked. Truly the Vauxhall Astras of the mech world...

However, I caught myself enjoying the demo, which felt a lot like a dropship rescue level in Mechwarrior 3... The title also reminded me how cool Terra Nova was, so thumbs up!

Soso, lot of content, but ugly and dead slow. Music fits in this way ;)
And what exactly is the story trying to say?
Yes, you've certainly watched ANDs productions. Some colors were noticed as coder colors, even from my coder-eye opinion, from what I could see from the average 5 fps slideshow here (Maybe it is my FX5500, it certainly can't be the P4 3.2gHZ that sucks the framerate, is it software rendered? Or do you render all gfx three times or what?). But, the music and overall flow was quite good. So piggy, but I must say that you guys have much potential in the business of demo-art!
added on the 2006-12-29 10:14:10 by deepr deepr
The eternal story - decent engine, shitty art (espacially particle shots).
As for performance, I don't think you guys played with tunning it all around, trying to fit into ps1.1 and get acceptable FPS as AND did 3 years ago (which still looks much better than this).
Still UP for amount of work. Keep on doing better.

badly, badly misses the touches a good artist/designer would give it that would turn it from something big but often very unattractive into something impressive and enjoyable. there's so many bits that grate but could have been fixed quite easily.
it does appear to run faster than previous brain control releases here, and the music wasnt bad either.

3d models is ugly, no volume in scenes. Slow.
added on the 2006-12-29 12:50:26 by bitl bitl
hm. it's too slow, with no real reason to be slow. it's not very pretty, and i can't really understand what the story is supposed to be about. i didn't like the music that much either (too "softsynthie"), but it's not _that bad_ so a piggie. :)

It seems there's a lot of work in this intro, but...
Hell slow, HDR makes no difference (imo), and average visuals & music...
added on the 2006-12-29 13:18:50 by remageFrs remageFrs
Too ambitious project + probably not enough resources -> mediocre result.
Also, these robots are not exactly cool. I would've considered putting them in considering what kraviz said.
Better next time :)

Really good, but no thumb because it's too slow and there's no reason to justify it.
Hmm... I don't really like the concept behind this demo. However overall gfx is rather high quality besides some ugly textures (polish your texgen guys!). Music as always - beautiful - great job Skyrunner!

looks like there was a lot of effort put into this...but i dont like the sound, the scenes (the concept) and overall the complete demo.

if it would have been a cracktro including a polished version of the cityscene..with a chip, a logo and a scroller i would have screamed "hell yeah".

rulez added on the 2006-12-29 17:10:40 by Buckethead Buckethead
smash: actually it has nothing to do with cracktros. it was only an example. i prefer watching a few good polished scenes in a short demo, over watching a long distance and imho boring demo. if a demo is long, it should be interesting. sometimes less is more..a good effect (or a good scene) with good music can amaze me much more than this production, even when the effort put
into such a (fe) cracktro would be 5% of
what has been put into that production.
a good "demo" should fit overall.

A very decent intro with some cool scenes and a good piece of music. Despite of that, it seems to be too slow at least on my computer. Piggy... but almost a thumb up.
added on the 2006-12-30 00:29:27 by ham ham
Pretty slow most of the time here as well. Some nice things but also quite a lot of boring/average stuff. The robots are so ugly that I had quite a good laugh. :) If there's a story I completely missed it. Music is fits pretty well I think. Not a bad intro but it could have been a lot better.

A weak thumb up. Music could have been much better with more harsher sounds, but at least there were some good parts in it. Robots looked funny indeed, unintentionally i guess :)

Kinda visually impressive, but the music fucks the intro up and makes it boring. Its probably supposed to action up the scenes,but for me it really does the oposite. Sorry, Piggy.

It looks nice, it sounds nice and (from seeing the video) it runs quickly enough.

Hell, the zik alone in worth the thumb up. People thumbing down should try to create something similar thrmself. But fat chance that it would ever happen - it requires more skill than clicking in a f-ing browser.

I don't know what to say. On the other hand it's pretty cool, on the other hand the robots are not and the plot was pretty wtf. Memories from the MCP is still by far my favourite BC production :)
rulez added on the 2006-12-31 02:09:10 by Preacher Preacher
I think we've seen these 3d flyby intros already done way better that this, plus the robots are really ugly. The cheesy music doesn't really help. And I don't think something like this should run so slow on core2duo e6600/radeon1900.

What's with the big ass pixels in the glow/flame/whatever effects?

the same
feels like there was no real vision of where this intro should be going.

whatever happened, it feels pretty thrown-together and disconnected. some of the scenes are quite nice, but the intro as a whole doesn't work for me.

Uuuuh, at 1:32 the music sounds sooooo much like a ripoff of a rather well-known Jean Michel Jarre tune (can't remember the name now, typical...).

The rest of the soundtrack is OK, I guess. Quite messy here and there...missing a great and combining theme, I think...but overall, the music goes well along with the rest of the production - to quote Randy Jackson on American Idol: "It was just OK for me, dude....I don't know....It just just OK, dog..."

I downloaded the music first and thought "wow, this sounds like end credits music from a film" or some recap of dramatic themes... and now having seen the intro, it seems I was right, this thing is like a movie trailer. (and I *think* I could follow the plot too.)

That said, this intro seems to suffer from enormous space (and probably time) pressure; like 64kb isn't nearly enough to pull this off properly (in particular, the robots were... ugh.), and they didn't have enough time to synch the music or tighten the 'script'.

This could be an awesome demo.

Anyway, I really liked the warship chase thing, and the stargate.
