Quake IV to be Released in 2005

[skace]

I hope Id never stops making games. I look forward to this release from Raven but wish someone would take up the task of recreating a sequel to Quake1, which was a way better FPS IMO.

I hope ID does stop. I certainly don't want to play anymore games by them.

id's only talent is in making game engines . . . . D3 is one of the worst FPS - ever.

OTOH, the D3 engine is one of the best engines.

:roll:

i will NEVER buy another id game but DO look forward to Q4 and other good games on the D3 engine.

I will be getting Quake IV, if that answers that question. That's only because I like Raven though. The only game I played on the quake3 engine was made by Raven too.

The Quake3 engine is one of the MOST popular engines! How'd you only play ONE game that used it?
:shocked:

or do you not play FPS much?

I love FPS. But when quake3 came out, alongise Half-life and UT... I chose UT. A little bit later I got into SoF2 and played that for years. SoF2 didn't feel like quake3 at all. CoD was okay but I didn't want to play it online, BF42 was better anyway.

There were SO MANY - HUNDREDs of - QIII games including RtCW, McGee's ALice, Star Trek Voyager: EFI&II, Kotor I&II, Medal of Honor (and Spearhead) . . .

i'm surprised you only played just one.

 

[Malak]

I played Enemy Territory lol...

The last ID game I enjoyed was probably quake2.

I certainly am not looking forward to Quake 4. I have this this itchy feeling its going to be like the release of quake 3 - nice graphics but thats it. Oh I forgot, it could still have those lovely original weapons: shotgun (yawn), machine gun (yawn), rocket launcher (yaawwwwnnn), bfg something or other etc.

Until I see AI as good as the original half-life, a physics engine at least as good as the one in HL2, some actual proper music (as opposed to that crappy techno stuff you here in Q3), and original weapons, then Im not intereseted.

Quake 3 didn't even have nice graphics. But you are comparing a game made by ID to a game made by a company that makes award winning games. ID isn't make Quake IV, Raven Software is. You can expect it to be better than Quake 3 or Doom 3 were.

OK fair enough. My mistake. I just want it to have at least some degree of originality in it.

Have you ever played Quake?

If you want to keep up with the eye candy, you have to keep up with the hardware. What I've been doing is just plain buying the very best card on the market, usually lasts 2 years.

Interesting. Before, I would buy a more mid-rangey card in the most-bang-for-buck category. Last year splurged on a 6800 GT* though (not top, but pretty close), and began thinking it might actually be the better strategy for value. As is, I've been gaming without constantly putting up with frustrations and with my eye on the next card down the road thinking I'm missing out on something. Could be I end up getting more satisfaction for buying one $400 card and keeping it for the same length of time in which I'd purchase two $200 ones.

*Going similar ATI would have been fine too.

Makes sense to me - I've been using my 9700 Pro for 3 years! If I were buying a card today (I'm not), it'd probably be a 6800GT.

Looking rather forward to this. Raven has always made Id look silly when they take an Id engine and make something 1000 times better than Carmack and Co could ever cough up.

Oh, so this is a game which you hold a gun in first-person perspective and then you try to gun down everyone else you see on sight? That sounds sooooo fun.

Side note: You guys can argue which is better, G70 or R520, SLI or AMR, SM3 vs SM2 etc but neither GPU or game companies is getting my money until I see games with REAL gameplay. This whole FPS with shiny water, walls, stencil shadows, SM3 effects blah blah blah is already overdone to hell.
