Quake Easy Run TAS in

[@r.g.thesecond]

I guess it's a testament to Quake's programming how TAS run doesn't simply phase through walls like many other games.

Same. This game was my childhood. I don't think there was another game that had this kind of impact or atmosphere for me.

[@pjousma]

so I played quake when young, watched retroahoys video, realised quake done quickest exists, "oh no, don't tell me they tas'ed this" and here we are :)

[@mericet39]

I feel sorry for the monsters. They were looking forward to a good fight and you let them down.

[@НикитаДёмочкин-й3ж]

They couldn't be a proper match for a freakin' machine mistakenly called human, moving at 60-120mph, able to carry a whole armoury with it, reacting within milliseconds and using explosives to boost itself. It was rather a mercy move not to interact much with monsters.

[@itsFODDER]

Yay someone finally put the spawn skip to use haha. ^_^ I KNEW it'd save time. It'd just be a matter of sanity trying to go for it it RTA. But it definitely made sense in the context of a TAS. Great stuff. ^_^

"You have proven that your skill and your cunning are greater than all the powers of Quake." Imagine any casual player reading this after completing the game, feeling entitled and then watching this TAS

[@doktawhawee9870]

Yeah... Reguardless, quake was a cakewalk for me when I played it a few years back. I dunno what they were waffling about. You want bragging rights in an ID game? Beat Wolf3d on Death Incarnate without savescuming, or beat Doom Plutonia... Quake has one tough enemy, and they only appeae in episode 4.

[@marcinwasko851]

Wow, amazing work! At first, I didn't realize it's TAS, thought it to be a joke video, especially with the vectorial strafing - which nullified any bunny jumps screen feedback ;) Now I do realize what it is and how much effort was put into this - it is a masterpiece, congrats for pulling this off. It's not only "Oh, wow! The gold key jump" - it's "Oh, wow! The everything! :)"

[@llSuperSnivyll]

That idea of using a Spawn to open the bars in E4M8 is incredible... but I can understand why it took a TAS to see it being used in a whole run. Looks easy to screw up.

[@itsFODDER]

Yeah he's shooting his shotgun at exact times to manipulate RNG to make the spawn act as he wants as optimally as possible. Basically 1 in a hundred million chance of doing this legit in an RTA run. When I originally found this it was annoying just to get him to clip through the wall, let alone doing so quickly. I actually found out spawn clipping was a thing by complete accident by making troll/kaizo Quake maps a few years back lol. I kept seeing spawns get into rooms I never put them in and was like "wtf are they doing here? how?" Scrags are also notorious for getting OOB. Though it's yet to be seen if there's a route that abuses that for a faster time anywhere in any official maps/expansions.

[@Tenetri]

as someone that probably put 2000 hours of play into this game from 1997 to 2001. My childhood included fragging thousands on E1M1, and I'll always cherish that lol. Really enjoyed watching the game get destroyed by this TAS. Great video, well done.

[@phil984]

Can someone please explain the dismal oubliette level? What is happening at that vore fight?

[@Jukspa]

I assume you are talking about the last level of episode 2. There's a bug with the LG where the two side beams it shoots are calculated completely incorrectly and often extend far beyond the view of the player. Usually it isnt noticable, but with a precise setup , the bug allows the TAS to shoot the vore "through the wall".

TAS = tool-assisted? The turns are so fluid with no acceleration or deceleration or overshooting that it looks scripted rather than played..

Yeah basically it is scripted. He most likely slowed the game ALOT to get perfect movements and saved a lot to get better rng for certain sections.

Does airstrafing make it slower?

Can you use the DM exit in end.bsp for faster finish?

late response but it does not count as finish as per quake rules, it doesnt roll the credits or anything so I suppose that's why

This run is obviously fake. Everybody knows you can't go faster than 12 minutes 54 seconds on Easy difficulty as shown by Quake done Quick Lite few months ago according to SDA, the current most up-to-date website for all speedruns. Secondly, there is no way we allow cooperative runs; I don't know who this TASQuake is, but this is a singleplayer category, Sir. See you later, I have an appointment at the World Trade Center; I am going to turn up the vibes of BB's "Quit Playing Games" on my walkman.

I remember many tricks from human run QDQ 🫡🫡🫡

[@Fukumeru]

At some points, it seemed as player did get a lot less damage from grenade/rocket boosts at low HP. Is there any trick used to reduce the damage while keeping the strength of the boost or it's me having false memories of weapons dealing higher damage?

[@Jukspa]

A lot of the boosts are close to max range for taking damage, but yea you do get less boost when you take less damage. For the nightmare run I completed more recently (which is better optimized than this run all around) I was a bit more greedy and took more damage from the boosts.
