this timing this is INSANE. I remember playing this, I remember being good at it, But I never would have considered intentionally missing for good benefits. But then again, i didn't really have a need to compete since I didn't have any online. This is SICK though, Big ups to whoever did this.
Dude, Holy shit!!! im good at this game, but no way am i that good. Which method do u use? the thumb,(square, triangle,circle) or the triggers L1, R1, and R2? i can beat this game on brutal but ive never been able to beat it on insane.
Come on we all know Cherry Lips was the best track on this game!!!! "Loooks just like a ... Giiiirlllllll with your cherry lipsss" LOOL, this game was THE SHIT!!
Damn. Noticed that little miss with the bass line at the end. Good thing you had an auto blaster. I would've been so pissed off to go through all those brutal tracks. Just to get f'd over by a bass line.
@quixoticMoon It was an intentional miss. Note how I get more points for autoblasting the bass and playing the drum track (in that order) than any other 3-measure combination! If I play the drum track first (then autoblast the bass), that specific 2-bar drum segment is worth less points than the 2-bar drum segment 1 measure later. And, of course, freestyle is worth more than playing the song, so I finish with that.
I can totally understand the nervousness towards the end, man. I love the adrenaline this game gives you. I've never gotten such a rush in any other rhythm game as I have with this one. Esp this song.
You are a fucking god at this game. I have beaten all the tracks on insane myself but I never got a score over 7k. Then again I never sat down for 6 hours on one song :P Congrats buddy.
Having fun about being full of yourself? If so, good, cause Ima tell you right now, I have the game with me and there is no way in heaven or hell that's insane. So when you're done fooling everybody who hasnt played this game, why don't you play this on insane then brag. Till then, stop talking out your ass.
that was the shit!!!! dude....i met the creaters of this game in person and i told them how great it was and they told me they thought that it was their personal best before making guitar hero, and that if i wanted to play something like it to get guitar hero on psp.. and i was like no... theres nothing like amplitude.. NOTHING!! sick run btw
Alright, now let's see your high score for Slipknot or the Cosmonaut Zero insane bonus song. I haven't seen anyone get more than two bars for either of those two songs.
"I haven't seen anyone get more than two bars for either of those two songs."
Getting three (or even four, yes, it's possible) bars isn't that hard if you used the play the game 8 hours a day like a lot of us did back in the day. This guy could three bar any song on the game.
The game only gets hard when you play the custom remixes like "You're Mine" by Squishy...and that's not even the hardest one.
I was in the top few (ranked 30s cuz drops) when it was online: I was Samdoh...
What i dont understand.. is why your missing things on purpose in the beginning. Is there really a set rhythm your supposed to follow in each song? Either way, incredible playing. I guess i never could get that dedicated with this game. So much better then all the popular music games out now though.
@DriftAnime When you play a track, it respawns something like 8 measures later, but the powerups are set in place when you choose the song from the menu. That means if you play tracks in a certain order, you can miss good powerups while the track is unavailable. My misses at the beginning are intended to stagger the "availability" of the tracks so all the good powerups 30+ measures away will line up in an optimal way. (As you can see, optimizing an Amplitude song is hard work!)
congrats man, i didn't think this is even possible. it really shows that perserverance pays its dues. once again, congradualations for being the best in the world, you're welcome.
This is fucking nuts. I watched those FREESTYLE/SCORE DOUBLE X8's and got chills. 160 each!! I have an Amplitude stiffy right now. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
I used to be fantastic at this game, and frequency. But I had never thought of capturing video, I just played to keep up my hand/eye coordination and for the music. But one thing is for sure, I can't seem to play this game much at all on my HDTV on my PS3. It's frustrating, as if they're is some inate lag in the system - yet even after months of no play, if I put it in my slim PS2 and set it up on a SDTV, I do fine. I wonder if all HDTV's are like that, does anyone else have this issue?
@livingxxgod Yeah, some (many) HDTVs, especially older ones, have brutal lag in them. Unfortunately there's really no fix for this. Another problem: I believe the back-compatible PS3s actually have inherent lag in them when running PS2 software. I read somewhere that it's about 4 frames of lag; people who tried to play old fighters on BC PS3s reported the same problems. I think the problem is on both your PS3 and your TV. :( Just have to play on a CRT with your PS2, I suppose.
@livingxxgod the best fix for music games like this is to hook your speaker output from your PS directly to your soundsystem, instead of going into your TV. the video and audio will still be out of sync, but at least that way you can hit your buttons to the music
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME!!!! I STILL HAVE FREQUENCY AND THIS!! I STILL PLAY THIS GAME TO THIS VERY DAY! EVER SINCE IT CAME OUT!! AND I'M STILL MAKING REMIXES LMFAO!!!!!!
Comparing this game to Guitar Hero or Rock Band would be like comparing Super Mario Galaxy 2 to ANYTHING by DDI interactive... okay, maybe not, but it's close to that!
@Gibix He is a good player, but he does cheat. He uses a computer program to work out the best path to take in the song to get the best power ups to make a high score.
I remember staying up for hours and hours playing this game lol so addicting.Now im stuck playing ttr3 with my ipod touch on extreme mode..Insane score though gratz.
I've played the demo version of this game to infinty. I got it from a PS2 magazine. I might just want to play it again right now. Shame it only has 2 songs on the demo.
I wouldn't say it was luck because he had to have ran this hundreds of times to finally get it down. Being able to get 4 bars on that song is hard enough, and playing the red portions so accurately on this song shows it isn't JUST luck.
@kurdysj I know this guy personally and I can assure you that he's an excellent rhythm game player. I've come up against him personally in a number of tournaments. (He also told me about this recording years ago and told me in detail how he did it, I only just stumbled upon it today)
Amplitude is 30% skills and 70% on where the powerups are placed. I boosted my highscore up about 60% because the track had good powerups on good places.
dude that's crazy! i didn't know it was possible to get THAT high of a score! now you i want to dig this game back up and play the shit outta this game!
the fact that you play amplitude, and kick ass at it...I love you a lot..you are sexy to me..and anyone else on here that plays <333 everyone i ask here about amplitude is like "wtf is amplitude?" -_- sad times..
There were no missed tracks, actually. The ones I missed at the beginning actually allowed me to get a higher score. Once I started the streak, I combo the song.
This score is THE maximum possible score for this song with this powerup configuration. It's possible (very likely, actually) that there are better configs with a higher max, but... even if I give you one, you still have to find the max route through the song somehow. :)
For this reason, this record is pretty close to unbeatable.
To further clarify, the only way this record is beatable is if a very, very good player randomly stumbles across a powerup config considerably better than this one, and plays it to 90% of its max score (very hard to do, even if the player is good).
It's also possible the config I randomly got here actually has a very poor max score when placed against the "average" config, but we'll never know. :) If my config is actually very GOOD as far as max scores go, then this record will never be beaten.
This run is truly maxed (to within 100-ish points due to some squeezing problems which are not evident unless you have good understanding of Amplitude's scoring system). A tool-assisted run of a random powerup config for this song would STILL not beat this score on average. This is essentially a TAS run, but played by a human. :) I knew the perfect route with the perfect activations, and tried and tried until I played it perfectly. That's why the track switches are so hard (and so cool).
Ha, I remember the first time I saw a really good player going for a high score, I was wondering wtf they missed easy tracks at the beginning :P Didn't take me long to figure out.
@xXpoisonwasthecureXx I agree! This game rocks, I guess...you can say this is guitar hero's mom. ALL of the songs on here rock! one of my fav games ever.
omg silvers what up dood i use djdarkmunk2003 now i miss amplitude so much and you would be surprised on how many people don't know who munk is i play 360 now my id is djdarkmunk god kid i was like 16 when i played amp im 23 now i cant believe u did not forget me. i wanna find modo and the others
Haha! Good to hear from you my man! Yeah, believe it or not, many of our FreQ's still around!
Mr. Resetti has a forum up and running with some old timers (haha) there. Amplitude IS online, but being hosted via people. But I think it's down right now. Lets all unite one day and have a blast. And man, i'll never forget you. :)
@Silvers24 - No hard feelings, man. I just remember always messaging you and you just opted out for staying on XBL. I know how it is though, it's fine. I have no idea when the severs will be back up. I need to check if it's an issue with the DNS or not, my patched version of amp overrides the DNS so I may still be able to get on.
@EthanE3Eves Yeah I guess you're right. I did kinda blow it off. But shit, if the server does get back on, I am playing this time. Playing offline only is fun for so long! haha
While being a predecessor to both Audiosurf and Guitar Hero, you can see elements of both in Frequency and Amplitude. Games are pretty fascinating how they copy other games, create something new and original, or take something and turn it into something completely different. Both Frequency and Amplitude are such kick-ass games, and always will be. Great video of an extreme run!
Agreed! If they could make it for the PC, that would be epic! Perhaps take the engine from Audiosurf so that you could use your own songs for custom tracks. Gah, that would freakin' RULE!
jumping 2-3 tracks and still keeps the multiplier! Crazy skills. I still love this game. It was way before its time and now that Guitar Hero and the Rock Band games are out this throw back joint gets no love. Harmonix ports the gameplay over to the Guitar Hero crap! AMPLITUDE 3 ANYONE!!!???
just think, this system of gameplay hasnt been used until recently until RB unplugged came out. as soon as i play it, i immediately thought of frequency and amplitude
FreQuency and Amplitude are the ONLY good CONSOLE MUSIC GAMES.
All this fake pathetic shit blew up like nothing. Whatever happened to becoming a real musician, by making your own music ?? They ridicule musicians, plastic piece of shit. Hero of what a ghey ass Guitar "Hero" !?
FreQuency and Amplitude needs SO MUCH MORE RECOGNITION !! When I ran into the demo of FreQuency I COULDN'T BELIEVE FEAR FACTORY GOT IN IT !! Remixing..double bass l0l it's so sickkk
yeah, if you do try to get the hang of it, you'll be able to beat the game a lot easier. and yeah, amplitude and frequency are my favorite music games
Harmonix is gold, I loved the demo of this game. Shame on my parents who never wanted me to spend money on this type of games, they said to me that "music games weren't for me". After some months, I became one of the best DDR/ITG players of my country, ahah! But I never had the chance to play Amplitude again :(
Many hours. :) That's what makes the run so unbeatable! For this particular powerup config, this is (almost, I made one or two sliiiightly non-optimal choices just so I wouldn't go insane) the best possible score, literally. The only way this run is beatable is if someone a) gets a better powerup config than me, b) finds the optimal route through it, and c) also is able to 100% full combo this very hard song.
it's much easier with the triggers, and eventually, after a long time of playing with triggers, sometimes you can use both the triggers and face buttons to play a line
Yes, I play with the triggers. I occasionally use the face buttons for strange track transitions. For example, at 3:16, I transition to a red track over a few other tracks and have to play a lone left note. Since I'm already using my left hand to move left on the d-pad, I found it way more consistent to use square to hit that one lone note at the start of the track.
Not to start a flame war, but are you sure this is a Full Combo? At 20 seconds, I can see you miss the vocal track once, then switch to the yellow and miss again before starting up on another long combo.
Well, those tracks were missed intentionally in order to line up some later powerups. It's a FC in the sense that once I decide to build up to 8x, I don't miss again. Intentionally missing a bit in the few first tracks (easy ones at that) was just necessary to maximize my score.
I thought at first that you messed up, but when I saw you keep that combo to the end, I knew you must have done it on purpose. Lining up the combos... that is elite yo.
Rock Band: Unplugged for the PSP is awesome, makes me wish I had hunted down a copy of this game back in the day but I stupidly avoided it because it didn't have music from some of my favorite bands. Got a chance to try it at a friend's house a few days ago. Great stuff. Harmonix doesn't get nearly the recognition they deserve.
i know dude haha i had the demo for ps it was like one game with like 5 demos on it and i remember playin this ....guitar hero ripped off amplitude foreaaaaaaalllllll
are you sure this is on insane? it really doesn't look as hard as it should be on insane.. also how come you keep missing lol, how is this the world record??
this timing this is INSANE. I remember playing this, I remember being good at it, But I never would have considered intentionally missing for good benefits. But then again, i didn't really have a need to compete since I didn't have any online. This is SICK though, Big ups to whoever did this.

Ha, I remember the first time I saw a really good player going for a high score, I was wondering wtf they missed easy tracks at the beginning :P Didn't take me long to figure out.

Haha! Good to hear from you my man! Yeah, believe it or not, many of our FreQ's still around!
Mr. Resetti has a forum up and running with some old timers (haha) there. Amplitude IS online, but being hosted via people. But I think it's down right now. Lets all unite one day and have a blast. And man, i'll never forget you. :)

Yup, Silvers, it's been down for a longass time, man. Unfortunately, you never wanted to get on when you had the opportunity. :P

@EthanE3Eves It's not that I didn't want to. I did, but I just...never let myself I guess.
No excuses, I just never did. I got back into not to long ago, but late. :( You know if it will be back up soon?
Silvers24 2 years ago
@Silvers24 - No hard feelings, man. I just remember always messaging you and you just opted out for staying on XBL. I know how it is though, it's fine. I have no idea when the severs will be back up. I need to check if it's an issue with the DNS or not, my patched version of amp overrides the DNS so I may still be able to get on.
EthanE3Eves 2 years ago
@EthanE3Eves Yeah I guess you're right. I did kinda blow it off. But shit, if the server does get back on, I am playing this time. Playing offline only is fun for so long! haha

While being a predecessor to both Audiosurf and Guitar Hero, you can see elements of both in Frequency and Amplitude. Games are pretty fascinating how they copy other games, create something new and original, or take something and turn it into something completely different. Both Frequency and Amplitude are such kick-ass games, and always will be. Great video of an extreme run!

i miss frequency and amplitude... wish they'd make another one
lilmizzbloodymary 2 years ago
me too, i wanna play with controllers not with guitars =/
mangusaso 2 years ago
Agreed! If they could make it for the PC, that would be epic! Perhaps take the engine from Audiosurf so that you could use your own songs for custom tracks. Gah, that would freakin' RULE!
Furlockthe666th 2 years ago
jumping 2-3 tracks and still keeps the multiplier! Crazy skills. I still love this game. It was way before its time and now that Guitar Hero and the Rock Band games are out this throw back joint gets no love. Harmonix ports the gameplay over to the Guitar Hero crap! AMPLITUDE 3 ANYONE!!!???
WesT9GTR 2 years ago
just think, this system of gameplay hasnt been used until recently until RB unplugged came out. as soon as i play it, i immediately thought of frequency and amplitude

Cannot agree with you more !!
FreQuency and Amplitude are the ONLY good CONSOLE MUSIC GAMES.
All this fake pathetic shit blew up like nothing. Whatever happened to becoming a real musician, by making your own music ?? They ridicule musicians, plastic piece of shit. Hero of what a ghey ass Guitar "Hero" !?
FreQuency and Amplitude needs SO MUCH MORE RECOGNITION !! When I ran into the demo of FreQuency I COULDN'T BELIEVE FEAR FACTORY GOT IN IT !! Remixing..double bass l0l it's so sickkk
mistamontiel 2 years ago
how do u play this lol
HandyManny00Lobos 2 years ago
using L1, R1 and R2 usually. You can use Square, circle and x though
0121ryanh117 2 years ago
Think of Guitar Hero or Rock Band with only three notes. L1 is left, R1 is middle and R2 is the right.
Amplitude is a fucking classic. Both Guitar Hero and Rock Band are Amp's bitches.

Man you have serious skills bro. I barely beat the game on the 3rd difficulty and I just gave up on it. LOL its too quick for my hands.

do you use the x, triangle, and square buttons, or the triggers?
MinkyBoodle44 2 years ago
Yea I use the X, ) and Square buttons. I try to use L1 as a sub for Square but I just don't get it LOL. Still I love this game and Frequency.
jattboypunjabi 2 years ago
yeah, if you do try to get the hang of it, you'll be able to beat the game a lot easier. and yeah, amplitude and frequency are my favorite music games

Harmonix is gold, I loved the demo of this game. Shame on my parents who never wanted me to spend money on this type of games, they said to me that "music games weren't for me". After some months, I became one of the best DDR/ITG players of my country, ahah! But I never had the chance to play Amplitude again :(

how can i get this fucking song
iamtotallywasted 2 years ago
Dude that was awesome! How long did it take for you to figure out that particular pattern?
FreQuenczy 2 years ago
Many hours. :) That's what makes the run so unbeatable! For this particular powerup config, this is (almost, I made one or two sliiiightly non-optimal choices just so I wouldn't go insane) the best possible score, literally. The only way this run is beatable is if someone a) gets a better powerup config than me, b) finds the optimal route through it, and c) also is able to 100% full combo this very hard song.
Infil 2 years ago
Do you play with the face buttons, or the triggers? I can't get the hang of playing with the triggers myself.
teh2Dgamer 2 years ago
it's much easier with the triggers, and eventually, after a long time of playing with triggers, sometimes you can use both the triggers and face buttons to play a line
MinkyBoodle44 2 years ago
Yes, I play with the triggers. I occasionally use the face buttons for strange track transitions. For example, at 3:16, I transition to a red track over a few other tracks and have to play a lone left note. Since I'm already using my left hand to move left on the d-pad, I found it way more consistent to use square to hit that one lone note at the start of the track.

PaNdApOrN 2 years ago
Not to start a flame war, but are you sure this is a Full Combo? At 20 seconds, I can see you miss the vocal track once, then switch to the yellow and miss again before starting up on another long combo.
KirreiVaash 2 years ago
Well, those tracks were missed intentionally in order to line up some later powerups. It's a FC in the sense that once I decide to build up to 8x, I don't miss again. Intentionally missing a bit in the few first tracks (easy ones at that) was just necessary to maximize my score.
Infil 2 years ago
I thought at first that you messed up, but when I saw you keep that combo to the end, I knew you must have done it on purpose. Lining up the combos... that is elite yo.

Rock Band: Unplugged for the PSP is awesome, makes me wish I had hunted down a copy of this game back in the day but I stupidly avoided it because it didn't have music from some of my favorite bands. Got a chance to try it at a friend's house a few days ago. Great stuff. Harmonix doesn't get nearly the recognition they deserve.

are you sure this is on insane? it really doesn't look as hard as it should be on insane.. also how come you keep missing lol, how is this the world record??
3rdmadfatter 2 years ago
the missing was intentional to set the tracks up for the higher multiplier riffs. so yeah, that's exactly the reason it's a record
Yanoss1313 2 years ago 3
hmm.. seems like lies.
3rdmadfatter 2 years ago
lol, look closely, he does it mostly so he can get the score doublers and freestyles
Yanoss1313 2 years ago 3
yeah you have no idea what you're talking about lol
this is definitely insane mode, the sensitivity of each note is way higher than even gh 1 so it's harder than it looks
the missing set him up for the multipliers and items.
