i'm a huge fan of this intro. the atmosphere is so great.. definitely an intro to watch on a bigscreen. respect. (i'vent tested it on my pc)

Cubes up the wazoo, a city of them basically. And some "sunlight" adds a nice atmosphere to it. But I guess you'll need a fast PC (it was a little slow on the MS compo machine).
added on the 2001-04-18 15:40:53 by phoenix phoenix
atmospheric indeed. and much of that is thanks to a-move's brilliant music.
i just wish the intro wasn't so slow. it doesn't need to be. we're talking flat shaded cubes...
final ver will fix this i hope? (please)

really slow, but a wonderfull demo with great athmosphere

It seems to require about three gazillion gigahertzs but it is beautiful.

its so fuckin slow, really!
otherwise its my favorite 64K i guess - but i still didnt manage to find any PC here on which the intro could run at decent speed.
lame coding eh? =]

The sun shining through all those flat-shaded buildings was quite neat in some respects. But overall I found the demo boring. It didn't really seem to do anything or go anywhere.
good idea, good execution. All those orange buildings bring the vga to its knees, but the result is well worth it. The music rulez. :-)

The awesome music sets a very nice mood. Only pluses. Nice sun effect too. Truly great, I think this intro is underated :( It deserves more then a measly 5%.

great atmosphere. far far far far far above the usual boring flyby crap. very good looking flat shaded stuff and mindblowing music.

it could have run smoother, though... but i'll give it a huuuge "rulez" anyway!

This was the best 64k at mekka 2001, and also is one of the very few 4ks i still keep on my hd and watch over and over again. perfect.
rulez added on the 2002-01-11 09:58:04 by shiva shiva
two things: i dislike the break with the greetings in the middle. and the planes floating upwards to the sky at the end don't need a texture imho. otherwise great sunlight effect, and a-move's music is superb anyway.

Slow as fuck, but the flare rules big time and the music is quite chilling. It also gets quite boring after a while, but it's good if you are stoned.

silky smooth on my poor old pIII/gf3 box, and precalcs roughly at 15-20 seconds too - dunno why you guys complain so much about this thing being sluggish.
one of my personal favorites indeed. great music, great city, great sunlight.
rulez added on the 2002-03-01 08:39:58 by bhead bhead
amove, you already know what i think of your works, this is definatly no exception, we 'must' do a coop some day soon :)

as for the intro, without the music this intro would probably end up quite a bit more monotonous than it already is.

however, the general ambiance is warm and cuddly, and the whole thing fits perfectly with the music.
might've been cooler with some better cammovement and randomly inserted synching

very slow on a tnt2 but i wont hold that against them, there are worse examples out there :)

definitely above average music, especially good accomplishment for an intro. nice overall desing altho the greets part in the middle seem to be a bit apart from the overall integrity. more flatshading, please! (instead of those ever so boring badly textured flyby prods)

Excellent and unusual music, and on a fast machine not only is it smooth, but I can see the last part of the flyby sequences. I wish they'd removed the popping excuses-for-drums from the soundtrack, but other than that it's amazing. I've watched it at least thirty times since I first downloaded it in 2001, and it's still worth seeing again.

Still works, but modern GPUs are just too darned fast for it to handle, so it stutters. I found that setting Vsync to Adaptive half-rate in NVidia Control Panel helps, but it's not perfect, so if possible you'll want to limit your GPU to 20-24 Hz. :)
