Absolute mastery in every possible domain! I bow to you, gentlemen <3

very stylish!
Best PlayStation™ ad ever.
I'm a big fan of arboreal columns and inverted pyramids.
fuck yeah!
Atmospheric. The audio and visuals went very well together.
Dark
Mad! Could we rename 4k to 4kk now?
It was so disturbing! In a positive way. Oh wait ;)
bzzzt
Very cinematographic. Läuft bei euch!
Dope as fuck
...such a great atmosphere made with your common 4K basic ingredients, one of the best 4 K recently for me, just in the end it becomes slightly random...
omg
Holy shit.
YouTube - to keep your sofas heated
Now this is a demo of the year to me. Heavily influenced by Strange Things' Upside-Down, which is the style I love so much recently.
Mind blowing
Super nice! Well done.
Man, I dunno. I really don't want to be a killjoy or some overly-critical fuck but like, I'm such a big fan of the people behind this and I love what it's trying to do, the minimal shapes/colors, the sound design/direction, etc. The difficult thing is that it all feels a bit 80% to me - the perturbations are too regular/obvious, the accumulation in the rendering ruins any impact of the hard camera cuts as it blurs frames together, the sounds themselves all have the right vibe and tone but somehow lack impact, and the marching artifacts (which should add to the noisy look and help create the feeling of darkness and chaos) are too regular, making them feel cheap instead of contributing meaningfully. So instead of this dark awesome experience I'm left feeling a bit indifferent - in contrast to waillee, for example, which achieves exactly what I think this prod was trying to achieve, in a more coherent and polished way.
Obvious thumb here as there was clearly a lot of effort involved and I'm super into what I think this was going for. I just wish it actually got there.

Intro of the year for me
Woop woop! Heavy stuff, though I do kinda feel what Ferris is saying. For me it would have been perfect if it had stopped a minute earlier too.
But still massive af tho!

Quite cool
I am spechless
superb.
love it, one of most pleasing 4ks this year.
Really like it.
best 4K since ages!
Direction, content, design, feel, tech, ...This is awesome, best 2019 4k intro so far.
Top notch!
I've been playing Control all weekend and this could well have been a cut scene from it!
love it
Awesome!
While I do agree a bit with ferris this is still very awesome
I liked this a lot.
@ferris: I'm still learning. :) And this was as much as we could do in the limited time we had.
But if there is any way to get in touch with you for more constructive criticism like this, I would gladly consider making an improved "final" version. :)

Reminded me on that RING movie. Spooky atmosphere, well done.
That's a 4k extremely well spent. I dislike the constant sudden cuts with the camera and would personally prefer a more ambient approach with these visuals, but wow...
I almost missed with the fader to cut after the demo was showing on the big screen. And the crowd was so silent during the demo the cheering outburst at the end was so loud i jumped from my seat.
Great stuff!
Great stuff!
WOW
great graphics, great music, but also a bit of what ferris said ;)
A lot of nice things here! :-D
krass
Love the rendering of different materials and textures making whole scene more convincing :)
Not bad at all. I like its distinct, almost impressionistic look.
One minor disappointment - the composition/music is so dramatized that you would think it will just all explode at the end through this Voronoi cracks.
But anyway, I like cellular patterns so much that I'm still satisfied ;P

Wonderfull
I'm sorry to say I really want to like this more than I do.
It's very gritty, very nice, and I really enjoyl the first minute or so as it starts off *very* strong.
- The noise is very repetitive. Really enjoying the whacky land scape features, but the detail breaks the illusion. With current perf more octaves probably won't' do, but perhaps stretching it along an axis might give it more randomness and streaky features.
This is especially visible in the reflection and the wavy ocean-ish scene as well.
- The voronoi is too obviously a 2D projection & constant width/brightness makes it too regular.
- It goes on for too long.
The buildup for the first minute is great, but the repetition after 1:20 re-demonstrates the flaws.
Don't take this the wrong way, still a definite thumbs up :D but there's just too many irks for me to truly love it :) Can recommend not doing a final and throwing yourself at the next one because you guys will do even better next time!
Performance wasn't great for me either, but I am 100% guilty of that in... was gonna say 4k but really in well every prod ever :D One tip, if you didn't already, is to only sample noise with many octaves when calculating the normal (to get bump map detail instead of actual geometry detail at the macro levels).
Sorry if I'm sounding too negative, I could probably write more text about stuff I like but then what'd you learn eh ;D

This is the apocalypse.

This is pretty damn great! My only complaint would be that some of the objects are brighter in the reflections than they are when seen directly. Physics doesn't work like that ;)
For version 2 add more colors and copperbars
Yay!
@TropicalTrevor: No problem! Keep constructive criticism coming! :)
@yzi: Lesnik explicitly forbidden me to add any other colors to this one (and most importantly: no orange!). And considering that he's a much better designer than me, I should better listen to him. :)
But in any case, the ShaderToy version of this intro is now online! :)

creepy
KK: The Shadertoy version goes way toooo slow on the same setup the binary version goes fine,...why is that?¿! is it possible? mmmh how strange :/
Great!
kicks ass, heavily
shadertoy is also slower on my hardware. Which is good, because effects that run smooth on shadertoy will definitely do so on the compo hardware. I still wonder where the lags on shadertoy come from.

Some flaws are mentioned in the comments above, but this is still probably my favorite 4k for the year thus far.
Amazing atmosphere and visuals, even though some of the scene repetition could have used a bit of restraint.
I... wow!
Wow!!
You maniacs! Fantastic orchestra sounds and superb atmosphere all round.
Great thriller on forbidden lands.
you could have unleashed all kinds of random noise towards the end imo....
absolutely stunning atmosphere and style!

Awesome. :)
what ferris said
I like the prod and I'm a big fan of the style and the direction of it, but there are some problems with how the rendering works, that are pulling down your entry massively.
The mad tracer has been around since July 2018 and it's getting a bit stale; it's time for something new.

wow, this is really solid in all departments.
OK.
Long time I didn't had such wow effect with 4KiB demo. I love it!
yeah
but... how?
Atmospheric and i just get sucked into it.
Just great
Great work. The visuals, but especially the audio.
norm
full of atmosphere
Does not feel 4K, amazing
I think it's fine as it is. ;)
Stunning!
phat and epic af. well deserved winner :)
also lol @ gloom comment, such a (coincident) Control reference ;D

yO! KK, w moim osobistym rankingu to jak do tej pory Twoja najlepsza estetycznie produkcja ;) Pozdro.
Absolutely amazing production, great respect!
That atmosphere <3 <3
this is the best 4k for me now
omg yes
Eerie. Liked it.
I love it
Oh boy, this is amazing!
One finely atmospheric 4K.
OMG, that's top notch from all perspective! Really awesome!
stellar
you.are.very.good
Spooky and cool :D
Everything comes together beautifully here.
extremely nice 4k! (with some flaws mentioned earlier, but this is complaining on a very high level)
sublime.
Fucking awesome 4k :)
Masterpiece
Wow, awesome! I love the vibes!
Very cool scenes! The ending wasn't quite on par with the rest of the production
great
wow, that is awesome!
wow - just wow! awesome piece of work. thanks!
Amazing!
so great atmosphere and visuals!
Nice trip to the astral plane, but isn't it supposed to be all white? ;)
Control jokes aside, this is a fantastic, and not just for its size.

nice visual style
I just wanted to mention the pretty glowing voronoi fracture effect. It was great!
pretty nice for a 4k!
Mindblowingly good combination of visuals and audio experience packed in 4k. Reminds me of Viagra from Mewlers from the golden 1999 - this just done with a superb fresh touch, in a very positive way!
cool, mkay.
Awesome pacing and direction.
This is one of the most stylish vertical pyramids I ever seen.
