Bike Hero Will Blow Your Mind

​

I don't care what you're doing, you need to stop, right now, and watch this video.

There's not much I can say about this. Superlatives are inadequate. Words simply cannot do justice to the sheer genius contained herein. Is it the coolest thing that's possibly ever happened to Guitar Hero [http://www.guitarhero.com]? Is it crazy teenagers with way too much time on their hands? Is it possibly some form of viral marketing video? It is the most utterly awesome thing you're likely to see all day?

Yes. Now watch.

Update: Yeah, it's a viral, created for Activision [http://www.activision.com] by ad agency Droga5. But does it really matter? It's still awesome as hell.

Thanks to GameCyte [http://www.gamecyte.com/bike-hero-viral-video-a-fake-designed-by-ad-agency-droga5] for keepin' it real.

[Limos]

Holy shit that is amazing.

 

[The Iron Ninja]

That's pretty damn impressive.

Imagine how many tries that must have taken.

 

[Lukeje]

Way too much time on their hands... 'twas awesome though...
Edit: aww, for shame. Slightly less awesome now I know that it was commissioned by an ad agency...

 

[ffxfriek]

Cool. I liked it.

Still won't buy guitar hero though.

[Seann]

That. Was. Fantastic.

Bike hero did blow my mind. I won't lie.

i don't understand.. he just has to keep up w/ the tempo.. the track is interesting, but the lights are pre programmed to hit the notes he just has to keep up. It's kinda neat.. but i don't understand whats SOOOOOO kool. He even misses some of the notes from the perspective.. and as i said, the lights are clearly just programmed to go on as he goes in time w/ the music.. i guess he would have had to practice the speed at which he went.. but it seemed constant and smooth. /sigh i guess i'm just not kool enough to understand the awesomeness of the bike hero.

Looks like bluescreen to me.

 

[TheBadass]

Ha, that's awesome.

Seems like I'm not the only one who thought this was utterly stupid.

 

[Mstrswrd]

Saw it already. Found it kinds cool. Seen cooler things (Anything by Monty Oum, for example).

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

thats crazy!

 

[BrotherRool]

It was good. Not the best but pretty good I guess

There's going to be some really confused coppers in the morning.
They'll probably think some religious cult painted the marks down (in a way they're right)...

I like how he nearly hits the car, would've sucked to go that far and fail that badly. I take it some people don't realise that the colour dots on the floor were cgi placed in and the person didn't have to ride at the exact same tempo.
