Quake Deathmatch - John Romero Vs Killcreek

Map is dm2. "One of the oldest Quake demos around but still cool to watch. Romero isn't a great Quake player (although he'll tell you different) but there's something about the way he plays that is fun to watch. Romero does a couple of things better than any player I've seen. 1) Jumping across to the grenade launcher while the platform is moving in the opposite direction and 2) Timing the walk across the moving floor. He also slows down on the steps so he doesn't make that "thud" sound every time. (something everybody should learn)." - Methos

Even though Romero was disappointed by his own creation back in the 90's, he plays deathmatch anyways.

[@gimmegimme8468]

It's amazing to see how different they played back then to how it's played now.

[@SergeantLuke]

Killcreek whooped Romero’s ass so hard, then he hired her AND asked her out. That’s like two gamer fantasies in one that she pulled off.

[@griechland]

Can confirm, this is the John Romero playing. Watched this demo back in the day when it was released. Quite a ruckus that Romero lost and when it turned out Killcreek was a girl made it even better :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Case

[@Anonymous-iw4hx]

didnt they even date?

[@rustygaming1997]

@@Anonymous-iw4hx They did, for 4 years.

[@kennethv5250]

they got married if i remember right

[@jimbronson14]

Ok, but was she fine??. Somebody please answer

[@someguy872]

The gameplay honestly looks pretty modern, so is mouse movements.

[@your_fathers]

I mean every first person shooter game is always somehow connected to quake and doom

[@bouttobreak12]

I have only played champions, and holy shit, so much of this tech still holds true. wow

[@pinko7429]

"Killcreek rides Romero's rocket" turned out to be prophetic.

Anyone else use to stare at the skyboxes in pure awe and amazement, thats what I did as a 6yo playing on SE net in 96-99 lol

I still do tbh

I like the look of Quake. Looks better than the latest games with all its bloated effects all over the screen like Overwatch.

[@killersalmon4359]

Quake's a fun game - I only discovered it recently, and it stands up well IMHO.

[@AR7271]

To be fair, this isn't the ORIGINAL Quake. But, if you want to see this match in 4K at 60 FPS check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2qYm6uYqZmDZ68

[@ydurxtfuhicyx]

@@AR7271 u just fucked up graphics

[@spearPYN]

I agree. I think the world moved in the wrong direction with all the gpu's hype in the late 90s. Software rendered Quake is still super cool and it looks better the older it gets -- kinda like old DOS 2d games. Pixel art in the purest form.

[@CripplingDuality]

@@AR7271 this is a war crime

[@Nihiliste-]

"isn't a great quake player" lol He's very solid wtf

[@analcommando1124]

@Marcus Bergström Solider for 97 on nq.

[@lerniezifyouadvertiseyouca548]

He doesn’t seem all that good, he did ok, I grew up with my step father was loved quake completely and would always do dm 51 frag limit and would win just about every game only really seen him lose once and even then I’m pretty sure that was a tie

[@deepfresh]

Playing Raze in Valorant reminded me of the good old Quake days

[@TYNEPUNK]

damn that was tense for a while!

[@alfredooliva5175]

Romero seems happy here. No Carmack bearing down his neck

[@SleepyAdam]

I wonder if there are more Romero demos out there

[@JiGantus]

Wild to think Romero, the legend himself, wouldn't be able to kill me once in Quake. I still play QE and QC though... so there's that

[@RaphaelChan888]

Ah... memories...

[@Usammityduzntafraidofanythin]

The close quarters don't really play to the strengths of a game like quake, so much as in doom. Quake is an arena shooter, where reflexes and planned movement are the key skill. Whereas in doom, it's more about just knowing the map and what's around the corner, and knowing where to go in the map (the ability to actually SEE a map adds to the appeal of exploration in Doom) - the most fun I had with doom was when I first began playing on hurt me plenty, when it felt more like a survival FPS.

[@Zorrio]

Ah Q1 is still alive too :D Great :D

[@gamingarchive8435]

Wow great !! Do we have an official timestamp for this match? When does it take place exactly?

[@2ExtremeReviews]

probably 97/98

[@RealHomeRecording]

I have the original demo file. It says May 30, 1997 at 2:13 AM

[@Igorsov]

RealHomeRecording.com Wow...2:13 AM. Back when games were fun and we could easily stay all night playing them.

[@RealHomeRecording]

@bongo155 ahh, very cool. Makes sense!

[@RealHomeRecording]

@@Igorsov haha, damn right. LAN parties lasted ALL night!!!

[@ChongPangBoom]

What were the anti-bob command? and the Mipmap command to make the game run even faster? FOV 120 etc?

[@r0ckydennis]

Cl_rollangle 0 cl_bob 0

[@illegalquantity]

The background noise makes me sleepy. Without that it would've been much more better.

[@henryadder6261]

MA@&n's!!!

[@planetx1595]

Is the REALLY John Romero playing?

[@kentlofgren]

Don't know about this specific clip, but he is sure active :-) Check out, for example: romerogames.ie

[@AIMarketingFunnels]

Yes it is Romero

[@Espresso139]

Romero is such a camper once he gets down a frag or two.

[@ABsurDdeMaraZm]

че пацаны, shazoo?

[@GetIntoYourLife]

He is not good, no... he walks right into rockets that are easily telegraphed. (a good player predicts where the next rocket is going)

[@JonCombo]

The bar got higher over the years.

[@Dandywise]

what port is this?

[@michaelcosta6286]

ezquake

[@БогданУглов-й7й]

Autoaim? 16:13

[@th3_consul]

The dos version of quake had autoaim

[@БогданУглов-й7й]

Mr. Mooman I know. I mean, it’s very strange to see autoaim in such sport event. Now it seems ridiculously amateurish.

[@chelovek-jpeg]

тоже заметил, это странно

[@xDShot9000]

Yes vertical autoaim exists in vanilla quake
