Thresh wins Ferrari in 1997 Red Annihilation Quake 1 Tournament! HD1

[sharless1]

ID software deffo need to get back to this Quake era and forget about RAGE style gameplay. Quake one and three defined 1 vs 1 FPS, and there's been nothing since.

[psycold]

I remember before this game came out there was some source code leak where all you could do was walk around one map and spawn a bad guy who couldnt even see you and it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen! Now games almost look like real life but I still don't get the same feeling that this game brought me when I was like 14 years old.

[pobhockle]

This is twisting my melon, man. O_o

[phokingassho]

Damm that game give me a headache .

[ccega]

Weird without speed jump!



[BaRroWsDuDe]

[Galf506]

[TheFrustratedAtheist]

I take it, this was a replayed dem file using a quakemod, like Darkplaces. If so, where can you find the actual dem file for this match? I'd like to watch it through a client.

[Naroon201]

1:16 I bet they were like "OH SHIT"

[cloudanu]

That map is too big for a 1vs1

[memokk]

lame tournament..no action

[drplbiftin]

where's the fighting and shooting?

[bjohnblazkowicz]

powerups control, excellent defense and great map knowledge despite the reduced movement abilities those times

gg Dennis Fong

[RaZaShARpZ2]

He sold the Ferrari because he couldn't afford insurance. Classic story.

[Sectionxx8]

still got paid

[alexander224]

wow fucking baddies

[kryps3]

@alexander224 . This was 13 years old, moron.

[xaninha123]

zzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[Shintsu2]

Think how intense you would be playing if you knew you'd win a Ferrari for winning the game...I can only imagine. Think about it - winning an exotic car for playing a video game. Win win...

[Roew]

@Shintsu2 hell yeah

[usagichan9991]

@Shintsu2 Especially at the time, even more exciting and unbelievable because video game tournaments never had major prices before.

[kinexu]

@Shintsu2

Not any Ferrari, John Carmack´s 328 :)

[smokingmcbongwater]

@Shintsu2 lol i'd probably get a heart attack XD

[gibbiesmalls]

shoulda went w/ dm6

[salam14111]

they dont jump

[darksaiyan2006]

@salam14111 It's kinda logical that they don't jump much. It's harder to predict where somebody would go when they can suddenly change directions. Jumping sets you in an approximate line that you can't change until you land.

[salam14111]

@darksaiyan2006 oh thats sux

[MADJIHAD1942]

Dam the winner got a 328 GTS Cabriolet owned by Carmack? Crazy..

[cyandk]

This is not quakeworld, but "netquake". Quakeworld didnt come around until 2003 which introduced movement prediction to quake. Thats why this match is so slow compared to what we know from qw.

[JigenD]

Quakeworld was out in 1996!

What you see in this video is using a lot of graphics modes, and they're playing back a reply. So the above video isn't netquake or quakeworld.

[Kkardemumma]

This is Q1 and not QW, right?

[lolzomgroflmayo]

Amazing how far we've come.

[FishStix1]

yawn...

[kringkingen]

Wow, how slow they played back then..

[p0zzz]

Was thinking the same. Prob nervous cause of the price

[kick52]

Totally..

[usagichan9991]

@kringkingen Gameplay wise in this video maybe. But the movement speed of the player is much faster than compared to FPS games of today. In which the movement speed of today's FPS WITH sprint is like walk mode in Quake 1.

[TheLonelyGamer24]

@kringkingen its funny how quake 3 still is the only fast shooting game. cus i know Call of duty Counter strike and battlefield isnt

[FuccYoutoobe]

Awesome!
