Movies

Here at QdQ we normally play Quake on the hardest available difficulty, Nightmare. But to show off skill without being disturbed by and/or having to kill annoying monsters, we also make runs on the easiest difficulty, Easy.

The difference between a run and a 100% movie is that the runs have only one goal - and that is to get from start to exit as fast as possible. In the 100% movies, we also kill all monsters and find all secrets in the maps before exiting, and also make sure to visit all the secret levels.

Over the years we have made more than a few movies. Right below you will find the normal Quake movies. Further down you will find other Quake movies, mission pack and episode runs. Even further down you will find runs through other games such as Quake II, Doom, and Doom II.

Other Quake runs on the original levels

December 24th 2005 - [FP, AVI] - Download

Dimension of the Gibbed - 5:25

November 10th 2003 - [FP, CAM, AVI] - Download

Between August and December 2002 we ran a series of speedrunning contests on the Speed Demos Archive (http://speeddemosarchive.com/quake). These contests ran on each of the levels of "Episode One : The Dimension of the Doomed" in turn and you simply had to gib every monster on the level as quickly as possible and exit. The exit stats of the winning time were used as the starting stats for the next contest in order to turn the whole thing into a complete run.

Quake done Backwards - 11:28

December 24th 2002 - [FP] - Download

This is another speed-run through Quake on Easy skill, with a new twist: we completed the levels in reverse order, starting at end and ending with e1m1. This enables a different set of routes and tricks than usual.

Quake done double Quick - 12:35

August 29th 2000 - [FP] - Download

A run through Quake on Nightmare skill, undertaken by two players who cooperate to finish the levels faster than would be possible in single player mode

Fiend Run Lite - 10:00

April 1st 1999 - [FP, CAM, AVI] - Download

Fiend Run Lite was a project undertaken by Peter Horvath and Attila Csernyik. Using the "morph" game mod by Jeff Epler, they recorded a QdQ style first-person run playing as a fiend rather than as a human player.

When they showed it to us we thought it was so cool that we ought to refilm it a little and add our usual excuse for a plot. For the refilmed movie, we also changed the normal fiend model into a special one of the QdQ guy riding the fiend, but we kept the existing animations and movements, so this is still "real" gameplay, even if it is a bit unusual!

Skillz Test #4 reel

August 9th 2006 - [FP] - Download

In this run, three players, namely Mathias Thore, Thomas Stubgaard and Thomas Bergendorff, go through the Runner's Delight mission pack in cooperative mode, finishing the levels as fast as possible on Easy skill. As opposed to the old run, we used unrestricted bunnies in this project.

Scourge done Slick - 11:02 and 8:20

July 26th 1998 - [FP, CAM, AVI] - Download

This is a run that completes Quake Mission Pack 1, Scourge of Armagon, on Nightmare difficulty as fast as we could manage. (Also see our improvements page.) We spent a longer time on the production of the refilmed version of the run than we have with any previous release; we'd consider it to be a proper Quake movie based on the original run.

SdSlite provides a whole new run through Scourge on easy skill. Significantly faster than the original SdS run, with more tricks than you can shake a stick at.
