A Visual Reminder That MMO Animation Kind Of Sucks

Unfortunately I am at work and without speakers. What song is playing for this video?

Seriously, what's the point of saying "first"? It doesn't matter at all. >_>

Anyway, my sound set just died, so I can't listen to the vid. Which sucks.

Extremely well done but machinema, god i hate it...

You start that video, turn the volume all the way down so it's muted, and then you pause it at 15 seconds. Now turn on that YouTube video below it, don't watch it - it's just for audio, and immediately press play on that paused MMO video and it makes it way better.

impressive, i prefer the one featuring mr. t. or maybe mini me :P

Whatever the song is it is pretty bad. the video is alright though.

lolwut.

:|

That was really good, even though it clearly wasn't made in-game.

If the game models rally moved like that though.. wow.. that would be something. But I recognize, that is just too much.

wtf the music to that vid was totally pointless, why not just use ambient sounds instead of music. :O

very cool, i think blizzard should hire this guy seeing as how this video made me a person who hates mmos want to play one

Biff, I actually just did that with the two videos....lol.  It looks like it may work together with the two, how funny.  Still, the music from the original is really bad.

kind of like the music for this video... :/

Okay....

Is it true? Are you actually posting something about Machinima? You?

LOVED the video, but the music was so tiring that I turned it off less than 1 minute in. I was perplexed.. But, then I realized something.

Most "directors" use temp tracks when filming and editing to portray the energy in a video. I think this video suffers from the director choosing the music based on the music that motivated them while making the video, or was inspired by the video for the music. Either way, I would simply suggest getting someone else to do the music, the audience has replied. That sound is terrible.

On the plus side, this is probably the best machima (sp) that I have seen since the Master Chief / Samus battle, if not better. Great job

"Hide and Seek" by Namie Amuro

I sometimes feel like I'm the only person who roots for the common guards in situations like this :P

And that music better not be stuck in my head or I'm going to have to call Oliver Sacks.

The music just ruined it for me. Well done though.

I expected this to be about the poorly animated KOTOR MMO.

Well done animation, but seriously, this is boring.

dance fighting! hot damn!

Now that I've watched it, the animation wasn't bad. But if the song had that much inspiration on the final outcome, I cannot help but wonder how much more brutal it would have been if set to something from Necrophagist. Also, somebody buy this dude endorphin, stat!

EDIT: Namie Amuro? No wonder! He's one of those absurd japanophiles.

I thought the music was alright actually, it depends on what you expected it to be.

God damn that song was HORRIBLE. Pretty cool video though. Maybe with the exception of the eye scars.

I'll admit, if it had those animations, id enjoy it even more, but i enjoy it enough anyway.

The video also reminded me how much i still love WoW's music, as opposed to, yeah...actually that song didn't bug me.

Great animation... but I didn't think the song fit well at all for what we saw going on.  Either way this was awesome to watch and very creative.  I wish I had the tools and know-how to do something like that :p

I think it's funny how many people are trying to protect that lady. Because if you played WoW and saw people do the Jailbreak escort in Stormwind, then you know that's Onyxia. That belf would've done the whole world a favor.

It would be pretty badass if WoW actually played like that though. Reminds me a bit of Devil May Cry.

I thought the music worked great with the video.  Lyrics matched what was going on in the video; at least that's what I think.

What the hell kind of song is this?

"You start that video, turn the volume all the way down so it's muted, and then you pause it at 15 seconds. Now turn on that YouTube video below it, don't watch it - it's just for audio, and immediately press play on that paused MMO video and it makes it way better.

I know this song! Lol, it's sort of J-pop-ish. The song is called Hide & Seek by Namie Amuro. I like this song, but as far as in context of the video, I agree that it didn't match it.

cool but what's the point

Music sucks hardcore, video was alright :]~~

nice vid, music at the end sounded better

I really need to find a way to rip the WoW models etc to Blender, I have been wanting to do something like this for ages. Plus I could add sexy lighting and maybe even bump up the poly count.

Lots of stupid jumping, and why didn't the broad shoot the chandelier in the first place.

I loved the music, and thought it fit really well. It had to grow on you....

Good video but music didn't go well with it. I feel like I should go to a dance club now.

That was awesome. The fighting was great and i loved the whole thing.

I liked the music.

About the song choice... WTF? Besides that the animation was great and it probably took him a lot of work to make this.

I gotta say i actually completly love the music and totaly see the fit. You can see that he made the video around that beat.

Wow, that's one of the greatest machinimas I have ever seen. I can now see a reason for a WoW movie :p

I wonder why they havent made a WoW movie?

it would probably be the highest grossing film of all time lol
