If you didn't see it yet, PC Gamer did a big Quake IV preview in the latest issue. They're really hyping it up. Fortunately you don't have to run out and buy it cause someone scanned it and posted it here: http://www.jucaushii.ro/imgcateg_845.htmlNote that the pages are not in order, from left to right, top to bottom according to the thumbnails, the page numbers are: 7, 6, 2, 3, 1, 4, 8, 5 The outlook seems positive so far. Raven claims to be very concerned with making a game true to the Quake series and staying true to the spirit of the previous games. Also, unlike Doom 3, Raven is commited to making the multiplayer just as developed as the single player. Essentially the single player will be a sequel to Quake 2, while the multiplayer is a sequel to Quake 3. Also, Raven assures that even though it's in the Doom 3 engine, Q4 will have substantial outdoor environments, and plenty of enemies (as well as allies) fighting on screen at once. They also claim they've spent a lot of time tweaking the weapons work well in both single and multiplayer, while staying true to their predecessors and having some advancements at the same time. My only complaint from the pictures available is that the marine armor looks a little too pedestrain for a Quake game, and the shotgun design is no where near as cool as the Q2 shotgun. Overall some of the visual style seems more ordinary and not outlandish enough for a Quake game. Hopefully they'll fix some of this before release. Enjoy the pics. |

Maybe it's just me, but that shotgun looks like the GenArena Slipgate Boomstick with a bullet clip added to it. Regardless of what turns out with this, I won't be first in line to buy the game, but I certainly will get it. Quake is the only PC game series that I've been adament about "catching them all" with. Of course, the real question everybody will want to have answered is when we'll see a Quake IV class in Generations. .gif) |

It's fairly cool, if Doom 3 is any indication.  |

Looks a lot like D3, indeed... Even the weapon design. I'm looking forward to that fast-action gameplay stuff they keep going on about ;]

... hey, um, scal? See that thing under my name? That one that says "Group: Beta Testers"? Yeah. I'm well aware that D3 and Q4 will never be represented in GenArena. It's called sarcasm.

frankly ever since quake 4 was announced i have never been excited about it. It dosent remind me anything of any previous quake game so far and those weapons designs suck.

They have the capacity to produce the best deathmatch game of all time.
one with massive levels and lots of players. One with anything they or we want in fact.
But they made Doom 3 instead. 4 players at a go, too dark, too narrow.
I want Quake 3 gameplay and graphics but better. Till that comes I will stick to Gen (and ut and ut2004)
Now most folks have broadband, how about deathmatch with minimum lag? there must be a way to sort this with the engines we have.

Doom 3's deathmatch is all about ambush. Its not 'Deathmatch' then just deathmatch. not what I want then. Give me circle straffing and bouncing people around with rockets, I don't ask much. |

The r_gamma and r_lightScale commands are your friends. Doesn't help me much...my monitor is chronically dark as it is. I can easily brighten doom3 up enough to see, but then it's so washed out it looks like shit. =( |

That was for everybody's benefit.  There are parts of D3 where you're not supposed to see anything - that bit whwere you're following the guy with the torch before he gets mangled, for instance. I just fired blindly at that bit and hoped for the best. I didn't like that myself. Personally I'll wait until there's something a bit more substantial on Q4 before I pass judgement. |

Ambush = camping. I prefer to hunt down my prey, not sit there waiting for some unsuspecting player to walk into view. The bird of prey has obviously never actually hunted before. And even watching actual birds of prey hunt, it's about ambush from above. I'd like to hear what some people think the difference between sniping and camping are. Or even if they think there is no difference. I understand this may get moved to another forum section, but I'll start it here. |
