Glok's RTB v1.045 Adventures in 2008 - The Movie

(1/2) > >>

this is an hour of RTB v1.045 gameplay. it's from 2008 by someone named "Glok" and was recorded using torque demo files. I played back the demo files, upscaling the 720p video to 4k so the gui is still large (you can read the chat) without youtube compressing the forget out of it.

You did a very good job with this; high quality footage of classic RTB from back in the day is virtually nonexistent, so to see footage of the full online experience from all those years ago in fidelity comparable to what one used to see when they had played the game itself is a welcome sight.

A few months ago I loaded up an old RTB 1.045 client with some old demo files from late-2006/early-2007 and was surprised to see they recorded not only the gameplay, but people's chat messages as well. Unfortunately all the demo files were recorded accidentally so there wasn't much notable gameplay, but seeing people's messages play out exactly the way they did when they were originally being typed and sent over a decade ago was neat and a little bit sad. I wish I had made proper use of the demo recorder back in the day since there were a lot of interesting and well-made builds/servers I'd like to "revisit", namely Bleh's servers since he would seemingly always be testing out his in-development mods (I remember once playing on his server in early-2007(?) when he was working on a parachute mod which I'm not sure ever got released). Good times.
