The stuff. A bit too dark and misty though.

hard hitter - as usual.

holy shit this looks good!

KICKS.


Minor drawbacks (I'm only complaining since you are highly trained professionals): Kind of long loading time without loading bar and massive frame rate drops in the tree scene (<= 18fps on GTX 980).

Clear winner! Awesome style, sync, and attitude as usual. Kindof felt like a "polished turd" in some sense tho; scenes lacked depth and anything that could really be called "content" and the postproc actually gave me a bit of an eyesore, as I felt like I was looking through a really dirty/foggy window at god knows what in the darkness :P BUT, it had nice colors and flashed in a way that I liked I guess, and I was nodding and it was fun :)

No. Looks "muddy", or smudgy, and not in a way that pleased me. Also: rap music.

Awesome soundtrack, post effects, attitude and sync! More interesting content would've made it even better as Ferris also said.

And yet an other master demo from excess. The firts scen is a bit weak but who cares...
rulez added on the 2014-11-09 14:58:29 by nytrik nytrik
Loved every second of it. Proper sync porn esp. at the beginning, clever way to use a mini-pause for a quick credits and convincing build up of action. I do not mind that it is a little weak on concept, because there are times when all one needs is a little bit of sub-woofer action.
rulez added on the 2014-11-09 15:19:28 by introspec introspec
the scene with the broken floor and the tree looks nice but feels out of place. overall very nice style and design. music is a bit strange. still solid thumbs up.
rulez added on the 2014-11-09 15:27:58 by sensenstahl sensenstahl
way too dark/blurry and the parts i did recognize seemed to be effects from earlier demos :P but that soundtrack turns badass, so thumb up

Lush rendering, that's for damned sure. Not too keen on the style of soundtrack, but whatever. It did the job. Particularly liked the parts where it was hard to see the object.
rulez added on the 2014-11-09 23:38:30 by xeche xeche
Last half saved it cos I really digged the resulting look and feel of the many effect layers :) First half was very dull and long and that's what I think made it feel like it ended prematurely.
rulez added on the 2014-11-10 00:09:19 by Photon Photon
This is so damned good. Masters of sync and postproc are really learning us a few lessons here! It was naturally excessptionally good on the bigscreen.
added on the 2014-11-10 00:16:31 by quisten quisten
I would have wished this goes on for another three minutes. The track is a killer when the rap voice appears and this cries for more aggressive stuff audio and visual wise.
rulez added on the 2014-11-10 00:17:09 by Bobic Bobic
OMG, how to ruin a demo with a so bad last part :D

Btw, all the beginning is pretty nice, with really good rendering, design and music, why did you ruin it with a so much cheesy and horrible last part? :(
added on the 2014-11-10 00:19:10 by rez rez
What ccr said, but in a positive way.
That last part was ace!
rulez added on the 2014-11-10 04:15:08 by numtek numtek
Honestly the last part saved this. Pretty uninspired content, both visuals and music, saturated with the stock Excess shaders (which are pretty fantastic though). Well, ok the flaring and chromatic aberration are way overshot to the point where they obfuscate the actual content way too much. The "rap part" was cool, even if a bit tacked on; felt like a stock verse found in a sample kit.
added on the 2014-11-10 05:14:42 by noby noby
+1 for the last part
-1 for the tree and the ugly particles
+2 for flow :-)
intense!
rulez added on the 2014-11-10 10:07:54 by teo teo
Big, I really enjoyed the start… I didn't really enjoyed the tree part, felt it was somehow disconnected but you got me back in the hood with the rap game.
rasmus - that ends up being +1 - where's the thumb you greedy bastard? ;)

Strong production with perfect synchro.
rulez added on the 2014-11-10 10:50:05 by slayer slayer
i thought it was absolutely brilliant.
could be criticised for being style over substance - the scenes behind the layers of postpro are quite simple - but when the style is this much who cares?
possibly the best "shitloads of postpro" ive seen in a demo - the glows, lens flares, dof, warps, distorts are all layered together so well. others should take note, this is how its done.
great soundtrack too. especially when it switches up.

well i think the last part saved it, even if it's cheesy and obvious. great tech for sure, however with great power comes great responsibility, and with all that postpro it felt so washed out that it hurt. i felt like sitting in a box made of used plexiglass.

Oh shucks. It seems we failed to properly communicate the deconstruction of the materialist interpretation of historical development in modern Marxism. :( And after all these years we spent researching and having literary debates with scholars and equals to develop the content for this intellectual art piece. Oh well, starting over it is.. :(

I wonder why quite a few people have something against hearing a few lyrics. If anything there's not enough of that in demos!

pixtur: Works pretty great on my stone age AMD GPU (Open GL 3.3 compatible); The fill rate is a bit of a bummer though. Then again, that means less flicker and darker scenes. :)

Code:return flare * flare_amount;

to
Code:return saturate(flare * flare_amount);

Not sure how to feel about this demo. Its strongest aspects are also the ones that make me cringe the most. Making something that is so awe-inspiring and brilliant also shallow and alienating at the same time is an interesting achievement.
