'QuickDraw' Beta Gameplay Video
posted by arn on November 10th, 2008 9:15 PM EST in Upcoming GamesFor those not quick enough to enroll into the limited QuickDraw beta test, one tester has posted a video overview of the current beta:
QuickDraw real-time online multiplayer drawing game with up to 10 players competing. Each user takes a turn to draw a picture which describes the given word. The drawing is transmitted to the other users’ screens and the one that guesses quickest wins the point. The player with the most points at the end of the round wins.
The game is presently in beta testing and should be released in the near future.
I could not stand to watch that, between the shakycam, the kid pronouncing "draw" as "drawl" (a pet peeve of mine), and him referring to his tripod as "being gay." Way professional, kid.
That video review was great, Its a kid not a professional movie maker. shut the freak up Fluffy
Thankfully I watched it with the sound down… but they fact that he couldn't spell or type make me annoyed. I think they should've filtered the beta process somehow to get people that would actually benefit the process. I'm sure there's a lot of wasted invitations out there.
I lost a few brain cells watching that. The game itself looks really cool and I will get it when it launches, but the person doing the video sounding like a flaming 15-year-old.
Let me guess…
Alex spends all his time surfing YouTube videos watching annoyingly illiterate kids make crap demos that the majority of us could shoot better with a cell phone camera. I'm sorry, but anyone who uses the term "being gay" (young or old) to describe their inability to use a tripod deserves all the criticism they receive.
And yes, I'm still jealous I didn't make it into the beta. /endrant
Give the kid a break. He got on the pre-release beta list and was good enough to give us the first look at this amazing app.
Nice job. And of course I'm going to get this asap when released.
Brush up on your drawing skills.
ICE CREAM…. come on you could do better than that I lost that round because of you…
@majormauser
LOL ya, the kids "drawl"ing was horrible. And each of his next ice cream drawings were worse than the previous.
Looks to be a great game, although the kid doing the review ruined it.
One thing I don't get is the "Play Offline" mode, which seems like its just for you to doodle on, and not serve any purpose for gameplay.
Looks like a lot of fun!! As a side note, what this video really highlights is how horrible typing is on the iPhone. I have an iPhone and I'm speaking from experience. While playing this game I'm sure I'll be aggravated when trying to quickly type out a word.
This guy is a retard.
But the game looks awesome.
How the heck is that ice cream?
I'm really enjoying the online multiplayer games hitting the iPhone. Quick Draw and Scramboni are going to be my two most used apps while commuting!
Also, I wish people wouldn't bitch and moan about preview quality. The kid is contributing to our community by publishing it which is behaviour that should be encouraged. Perhaps the naysayers should take out their frustrations elsewhere rather than picking on a 13 year old?
@nooooddy
Agreed. What our community desperately needs is more discriminative kids making Blair Witch Project game reviews.
my tripod is being gay
@MrMuggs: Really? I can do 37wpm with minimal mistakes.
I think it's really just about getting used to it. I was completely horrible at first, but now I can pound out a lengthy email or a text message in a matter of seconds.
And watching the video a second time (I didn't have the sound up the first time around), anyone who says "my tripod is being gay" while trying to maintain a semi-professional image doesn't make sense to me.
Otherwise, the game looks really really fun. I can't wait for this to fall into the App Store. The only thing is, I wonder how rooms will work… there certainly will have to be more once it's out of beta. And I'm thinking that maybe it might take the iSketch.net route and add the ability to create rooms or join a boatload of pre-created rooms with different rules and themes… if not in the first version at least, I'd be surprised if they didn't add this later on.
