Team Event Horizon

For release:

Quake 3 tricking team Event Horizon, which focuses on doing team tricks has released their third movie featuring both single and team tricks. For the first time Team Event Horizon decided that it was time to put some single tricks in their movie.

“We’ve got some really talented single trickers and we didn’t have enough content to make a good length film. We have also been asked numerous times why and if we would put single tricks in our videos. So the team and I felt it was a good time and opportunity to do so,” said Justin ‘sp4rky Sanchez, team Event Horizon manager.

The team had a beta premiere at Quakecon 2007 of Event Horizon 3 where they gathered some feedback and since then the film has gotten some tweaks here and there, more tricks, longer length and four audio tracks.

“We ran into so some issues with EH3 that as a result caused the release of the film to take longer than expected but we feel it was better for the film. We were able to add more content and Temporal Productions was able to have the time they needed to make the film perfect,” sp4rky reported.

First week download numbers are in and it’s a shocking ~8464 downloads. With EH2 we saw just a little above 5,000 in the first week. Perhaps we should all get wasted and try to do some tricking to celebrate? No? Could make for some funny bloopers for EH4. Anyways thanks guys for all the downloads and comments!

We’ve got EH3 in our hands yesterday evening and we’ve been going non stop into the night working on getting things ready to release in time. All version have been rendered but we still have to get some small stuff done and upload to our mirrors.

Torrent Version – Idea

We’ve been talking about giving people an early release of the EH3 HQ version if they would help seed the EH3 HQ version torrent. If this is something you might be interested in please come idle in #tricking_eh on etg and message me “sp4rky” to let me know you are interested.

Release

As for when it’s all going public, hopefully early Thursday morning but if not it will be Thursday at some point. It may also not hurt to be in our IRC chan if we start to feel like passing out early private versions. ;D

Mirrors, Uploads & News

We are planning to upload to QuakeUnity.com, Filefront.com if you have any recommendations for other mirrors please post in the comments. GeeVee.com YouTube.com, Vimeo.com, Viddler.com online steaming sites will get EH3 but this may take a few days. Right now we are more concerned about using our bandwidth to get EH3 Hq, Mq, and Lq versions up asap.

We will also be hitting up community websites with news and links to EH3. On our radar is Own-Age.com, ESReality.com, QuakeUnity.com. Again if you have any recommendations please let us know in the comments.

Happy New Year to everyone!

To bring in the new year we’ve given the website a much needed face lift. However I’m sure there is still some bugs to work out and what not, so let us know if you notice anything broken and we will get our surgeons on it. If you haven’t been here in awhile, check out the old site in the picture on the left.

I know you all will ask about the status of EH3 so here is the latest.

Unless a meteor rains down on Ebola or his computer EH3 will be ready to go this month. I can’t imagine EH3 not getting released this month but if it doesn’t I’ll be sure to let Ebola know you guys have your torches and pitch forks ready. We are just as eager as you all are so if it gets to that point we will bring the torches.

I’ll try to get some screenshots from him to tie us all over in the meantime.

Update:

Here are some new screenshots:
