All I have to say is wow.

EDIT: No One else tell me about how this is old news anymore por favor.

Yeah, it's pretty old. Sorry.

Its probably the best video game film ever made. What's sad is that hollywood can't seem to do the same.

 

[Archereus]

Wow i cant beleive i will actually get the chance to say this to some one for once. This has already been covered and we all said it was amazing, you could have searched it up, it was there, but i am being nice about it. The video was really well made though.

 

[Fenring]

If you realy like it, they also posted a "how we made it" movie, sorry I don't have the link.

We had this exact same thread on WarCry. [http://www.warcry.com/forums/read/12.87997]

So yeah it's pretty old. It's tight though.
(and to clarify, I'm NOT deja-nazi'ing you. Just saying.)

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

I apologize, this is the first I have seen of it, and it looked new to me. Mods can lock the thread if they want.

That shit is crazy. Kinda cheesy, but still wicked awesome, for a budget of 500 dollars.

I only knew it existed a week ago so don't feel bad about everyone else trying to kick you down a peg. On topic, when I heard about it/ saw the title I thought it was going to be one of those dodgy, 10 minutes effort videos where it's plastic cut outs and all those stereotypical nightmarish fan videos you hear about. I was totally blown away when I first saw it, there's really not a single aspect that I could pick out and say 'That looks so fake/ lame.'

Actually, Valve liked this video, and they put it in their Steam Update News a while back. I still love it, regardless of how many times I see it.

Hollywood could take lots of pointers from these guys...

I liked the special effects, especially the striders as they actually looked like they were walking about the real city, but the acting was awful. To be expected unfortuantely, but apart from that it was well done.

I've heard about it before but your post motivated me to finally watch it. Thanks!

I agree with this. The blood effects and use of the game sound effects was neat.

Obviously it was totally awesome, but the acting and dialogue...

"I hate walking, OK! Ugh!"

 

[Sparrow]

Naw. The acting isn't very good. Nice graphics and all, but it didn't grab me. I wouldn't pay to watch it.
