Itano Circus Stress Test

[InstantUsername]

They should remove the "rain" effect imho, it looks quite silly and nonsensical.

[Shanks1000100]

The Bgm is sounds so epic! what is the name??

[Zirc0nium69]

i want your pc dude stuff like that makes my pc go into slideshow mode. then again i still have a pentium 4 x)

[wayneski1290]

what was the music?

[mabmoro]

My mind, it is blown.

[spy336699]

How exactly did you do this?

Is there some sort of mod that adds spawner?

[Zamolxx]

Absolutely epic!

[5ArmedSkeleton]

There is no sound in space.

[Kazooker]

HOLY FUCK!

[Emanouche]

O h my gosh, when I'm done with the unmodded version of the game, I'm getting this. O_o

[Hiigaranwarrior159]

So... Many... EXPLOSIONS!!!!! THE GLORY IS PALPABLE!

[TheStresser12]

also it was all semi automatic stuff even the machine guns werent machine guns just burst shots

[linkxsc]

@TheStresser12 thats how real autocannons work though, they load up a queue of bullets, and spray them all off in a short burst, that way they can keep teh gun from jamming while loading the larger rounds, and give the gun a chance to cool down a bit

[TheStresser12]

i hated eve online it wasnt like heavy space fire it was like .....fire......fire.....you got shot.....you got shot......fire....fire......yo­u die....heres some money fuck off and get the other 120mil yourself "da fuuuck o.O"

[AngelOfIron]

Been ages since I've played vanilla Freelancer. What ship are you flying there?

[klarita64]

@AngelOfIron This ship is called Patriot and is not very powerful light fighter.

P.S. I BLOODY LOVE FREELANCER

[TheMachariel]

1: Download EVE Online

2: Join Large Fleet warfare alliance

3: ???

4: PROFIT!!!

[FearLancer2]

Memories of Macross XDDD i love that anime

[WayfstrthnU]

Now all we need are Variable Fighters and we're set. 210-missile V-25 Super Pack anyone?

[CrabTastingMan]

That's not itano circus. Itano circus is not just many missiles and ships. Its about a chase between small objects camera angles quickly changed, utilized to give an illusion that the leading object is flying and flitting around over a vast area but in actuality it hasn't left a sizeable travel trail.

[WayfstrthnU]

@CrabTastingMan ??? That's definitely not Itano Circus. Itano Circus is named after Ichiro Itano, who perfected the animation of the "Macross Missile Massacre" where you shoot a shitton of missiles. This is basically a Macross mod without the actual Macross ships, the missiles are even called Micro missiles. I think there's a different name for what you're referring to.

[mobius1aic]

HOLY SHIT O_o

[zzzzUS]

Time to get back to Freelancer :)

[operationkilled]

When I watch this, I say to myself, is this freelancer? and replied to my own question, yes it is... and then I SHOUT "THIS IS FREELANCER!!!!"

[degu122]

real space battle :)

[Fatalsoul190]

all this is missin is the a valk fighter some one need to make one i never seen one in a mod b4

[SnIkLeeT]

What game is this? I want some good space fighting games. Tachyon came close... but I want something more like a flight/combat space sim

[natchofox]

@SnIkLeeT @teencomment This is a video for a mod for the game Freelancer, released in 2003(ish?). Great game, definitely worth checking out - you can probably find a copy on the cheap somewhere.

[teencomment]

What is this game for?

[Trinoone]

this somewhat,for me is like an re-enactment of halo's covenant vessels and UNSC ships fighting in space...nice vid btw,full of action.

[spooker89]

missile abuse much? XD jk looks nice i'll try it!

[studiomagi]

I notice that I haven't actually encounter such engagement (3 way Xeno Vs Rogue Vs Liberty Navy) when I install the mod. :3 I am guessing this is just for the stress test. Do you think is possible to release a version of the mod where that's happening (or perhaps just more often)? :3

Want to try that on my computer once.

[studiomagi]

I knew there is a reason that Freelancer is the only game that I never uninstall on my computer.

[Pastaspace]

So, how much of a framerate hit do all those engine tails add?

Because they look awesome

[hydremajor]

LEEEROOOOOY !!!

[DeadMollusk1]

My god. It's full of win.

I've been waiting for a good Macross mod for a game like this for ages, this is beyond fucking awesome.

[TheKaos90]

How do you got this view , with no hud

[numerocro]

@TheKaos90 press button for HUD hide :)

[TheKaos90]

@numerocro Oh thanks you smart-ass , think yourself smart?I paly freelancer since u were playing super mario , and i suppose i know the"Hide Hud" button , by default ... backspace . I hate people that don't even understand a question and start chatting smart.I meant , reffering not to this video necesarily , but at the view where you don't have brackets and targets around ships lol.

[numerocro]

@TheKaos90 thanks you for very long writhing about noting -__- lol

[FiremanRobertS]

Talking about some serious Missile Spam here...

But I definitely like the looks of it. :D

[sebse99]

what are that for missiles ?

[dropthepin]

Now I know what a front-row seat to a Macross fight is like.

[Dinyctis]

FUCK YES! Macross Missile Massacre!

[battlerussia]

I got nothing to say...it's just fantastic.

Dont have to talk about Star Wars here, than which this video is far more better!

[PottsPunto]

Amazing! Loved Freelancer when it came out, seemed like so much more could have been done with it and this proves it

[ssttteeff]

i want the program/mod

also try discovery 4.85 reunion mod

[morrybyte]

absolutely incredible

[tonydmyers]

I miss Freelancer.

[Lethn]

The music is from the Macross Frontier anime

[BadSkeelz]

@Lethn

As soon as I saw the missile massacre I thought it might be a Macross track.

Had a big smile on my face the whole vid, makes me miss Freelancer.

[Alignn]

@Lethn

Not Star Wars then?

[FFAGrimReaper]

What's the music behind this video?

Grim

[snipperbes]

*speechless*

[aquapendulum]

*Sniff*

Digital Anvil should jerk a few tears when they see how much their kid has evolved after 6 years.

[aquapendulum]

7:38 - 7:57

Pure Epicness!

[masteridiot123]

THIS! THIS! THIS IS WHAT EVERY SPACEBATTLE SHOULD LOOK LIKE!

It explodes! My life has new meaning!

[CommanderIX]

Liberty vs Rouges in finla battle.

This was the bigest and most epic freelancer fight I ever saw, wow.

Thanks alot.

[Morkh]

How do you actually throw in so much ships in there? I would love to try it out.

And 9000 Eraser missiles? Can I have some too? :D

[Anoleis]

WOW!! This is what I call space battle! Thanks!

[pinoi78]

Itano Circus baby!!!

[frx44mr]

I tried to decrease the micro missile speed and make it almost as fast as normal fighters. Additionally, I adjusted seeker_fov_degree and max_angular_velocity to make micro missiles chase enemies' asses harder. Make it more like Itano circus, but this is not that easy. When seeker_fov_degree gets higher, missiles will do strange things. They sometimes give up the target, fly away, after few seconds, they come back and continue the enemy chase. I want to know what is the ideal seeker degree.

[Malladore]

this is how space games should be. Intense space battles where you actually feel you are taking part on a true epic conflic in space....

Why cant someone make a game like this?

[ohwnosrepeht]

They did. Freespace, Wing Commander, and this....

[Maioly]

@Malladore go check Freespace 2

[RougePsykerEizak]

@Malladore They HAVE. Its called Freelancer: Itano Circus.

[Eredale]

@Malladore EVE Online. Nuff said.

[MadGeneral]

@Malladore

So, Freespace 2?

[mthrswd]

...broken mechanics..."too many" spawns...I'm not seeing a problem except "WHY CAN'T I KEEP IT THIS WAY???"

[kevaughanshiu]

I want to play this badly but is the multiplayer dead or active?

[SunV0id]

whats with the 10 missles per second cheat

[frx44mr]

That's not cheat. That is what Itano Circus means. Itano Circus is frequently used in Macross series. Lots of people enjoy plenty missiles launch and chase scenes. It is normal to launch 10 ~20 micro missiles at the same time. However, the player can launch only 1 missile / per bottom puch in Freelancer. It is unable to launch plenty missiles at the same time, so the only way is to adjust the launcher's refire rate.

[SunV0id]

micro missiles? hmmm.....is that like the modded cruise disruptor missiles?

[medmapguy]

Wow what an awesome mod. Iou captured itano circus perfectly.

[AZwebsDJ]

ammo consumtion eh....that could probably be cured by making it infinite ammo, but high energy consumtion. that way, you can fire a barrage, then speed out of the area while your energy recharges

[Windwalkerranger]

really great vid! and hopefully a great mod too. Because I just decided to try it.

[junglegeorge008]

Breath-taking....is seemed a Universe war

[Ehal256]

Looks awesome. Too bad it doesn't have the depth of combat that freespace has, but still, awesome :)

[NostalgiaGlasses]

Reminds me of Space Cowboy.

[fujiwarabadfish]

my eyes are burning with glory

[mcpaper]

This mod looks awesome

[Ptmkn]

The ambient explosions are a nice touch, helps it feel like there really is a freaking HUGE fight going.

[Thesixthgoon]

I really hope this isn't a multiplayer only mod, as I have no interest of playing this game online.

[Why485]

The mod is primarily for singleplayer (Open SP type). Multiplayer is available, but it's somewhat buggy and was never the main focus of the mod.

[frx44mr]

It doesn't matter. In Itano Circus mod, the missile's smoke, tail, sound, and effect is always the best. I can find no mod can compete with it. Original missile sucks. Additionally, increasing ships' speed and handling is another advantage of Itano Circus mod. It made the battle like a real combat, a real dogfight. It makes lots of things closer to reality. Original speed is slow as a turtle. This is real combat, not slow motion or Matrix.

[linkxsc]

@Why485 this mod on a multiplayer game, fully working would probably make a ton of lag with all the missiles, but a full on fight between like 20 people running it. You can't deny the total win that that fight would be.

[TheKaos90]

@Thesixthgoon Trust me it's awesome , i know from testings of a similar battle-oriented mod

[synx111]

Dude what's your system like. Wow these are nice graphics.

[ThinBear4]

Maan... I love effects in this video. Didn't know that Freelancer actually can be moded to show something like this. Now it finally does look like a real space battle.

[JamesBond77]

You sir make me proud of being a MACROSS fan. ^^ AWESOME JOB !!!

[LowVizPilot]

this is greatstuff! Do you have anymore videos of this mod? With more Macross Frontier background music please!

[manwiththemachinegun]

I think you just won the internet dude. Congratulations.

[DetectiveOlivaw]

I need to know what this music is.

This is very important.

[Laholatva0]

It starts with "The Target". At 5:44 it switches to "Transformation" and around 7:30 to "Take Off". All of them of them are composed by Kanno Yoko for Macross Frontier soundtrack.

I don't recognize the last song starting at 8:20

[Why485]

Last one is Tsuioku no Trumpet or Reminiscence Trumpet depending on who you ask. Just like the rest, its Macross Frontier and Yoko Kanno.

[adster700]

Holy shit. That mod looks friggin amazing! The effects are amazing in it!

5/5

[Perion]

the music sounds allot like Star Wars, and I hear lots of Turbolaser fire.

[shiroikaz3]

I hear the lasers too, but I think alot of sci-fi games like to borrow from Star Wars :P

The music on the other hand, is from Macross Frontier. It's worth a watch even if you haven't seen its predecessors.

[SBOHollaway]

I must say, this is by far the most amazing mod I have ever seen for Freelancer, I don't know how many systems have been added or special content, but for new effects this is absolutely amazing.

[frx44mr]

I just found out that the enemies' behavior and habit are different from original Itano Circus mod. Mormally enemies' first priority is to take player out. Therefore, player will be the focus of enemy fire when the battle begins. However, player's ship is rarely been lock up by enemy missiles and guns in this movie.

[GloriousLight]

You just combined my love for Macross with my love for Freespace in one game and for PC! You are far beyond epic, Valhalla is yours. God, I freaking love the insane missiles barrages or the guided laser missiles, whatever, Itano Circus for glory! No, I don't have enough words to express the gigantastic level of awesomeness...

[AirCooledMan2006]

Epic battle is fucking epic. XD

[darthartie]

that can;t be a rhino

[avadragondl]

I <3 FL

[jase240ads]

that is one amazing fight though, awesome graphics.

[GeneralCalvin]

Amazing.

[Milla660]

Goooo Xenos, AMAZING job. I love it so much. If I had this I would never get bored of NPC battles..

[Cabajca]

OMG! I have never seen before such big battle in FL!!! How can I get this mod??

[frx44mr]

This game is good, but a little buggy. If the player equip the same missile or torpedo launchers at the same time, the ammo consumptuion will be doubled.( It means consumes 2 missile but shoot 1 missile only )

[jase240ads]

actually thats not true, it still fires 2 missiles, just they usually hit each other, or one explodes before the other them blows that one up too and causes less damage.

[Why485]

When you have two of the same missile launcher loaded, you are physically firing twice as many missiles. (You can see two separate missiles being fired) So naturally you are deducted two missiles from your ammo count. What I like to do is fire them manually and separately using the number keys.

Also if I recall correctly, I purposefully set up the missiles so they would never detonate each other and cancel each other out. Double damage is always done.

[TheKaos90]

@Why485 I usually use the "weapon groups" to handle my ammo and stuff , groups 1&2 are for combinations of shield/hull specialised guns and 3,4,5,6 for missiles , torpedos , rocket pods , mines , everything my ship has bolted on it ^^

[FiR3StAlK3R]

Gentlemen, this is FL 2.0!

[PrimusAvatar]

i, cried :(

Digital Anvil made a splendid game, but the mod creator made it to what it should have been from the start.

this was a beautiful demonstration.

[Wolfie276]

niiice

[frx44mr]

This is amazing !! Really higy quality stuff with good macross music,unlike some wierd AMVs. I would like to know what game this is and what its platform is. PS2, PS3, XBOX360, or PC ?

[Why485]

This is a mod for the PC game Freelancer. If you have it, you can download it on The Starport (Google it) The download link and info is on the front page.

[zyoslancer]

The fact you compared it to other consoles is a credit to the author of the new effects and mod

[OriginsAreEverything]

All we need now is an 8Ghz Quad core processor server with 30 GB's of RAM to play it multiplayer :P

[jadedvirus]

Too bad FLServer doesn't take advantage of more than one core on a processor.

[petghost]

hoooly shit.

[cheeseontoast123]

nice man :)
