Let the Quake IV Hype Begin!

[SFLUFAN]

Soon we'll have our beloved Doom III in our hands and not too long following (hopefully) the blessed Half Life 2.

Thus, in order to maintain our level of gaming excitement - let us now turn our attention to our next eagerly awaited offering: Quake IV

I would say Unreal 3 but somehow I think we'll see Quake IV first.

 

[brink's]

We'll probably see stalker and fear before quake, so lets get hyped for those.

 

[kungfucheez]

yeah Stalker and Fear look L337 plus im still waiting for Rome:Total war, Guild Wars, and Brothers in Arms. Lots O' gamin goodness

 

[guise]

quake 4 isnt even going to make an appearance at this years quakecon... i guess weve goto hope for e3 2k5

i remember seein gthe leaked concept art for it last year...... bleedin amazing. its gonna knock doom 3's socks off

(ive always prefered quake over doom)

I'm not a huge fan of Quake personally. I never bought Quake 3, UT was my online game of choice.

Quake 1 and 2 were good games, but couldn't ID have used more than three colors? I swear the two games feature brown, purple and red exclusively.

if you liked quake 2 then you will be in a real treat with quake 4. it will continue from the quake 2 story no MP only quake 3 style stuff, nope.. Singleplayer.. with a real story and stuff.. :naughty:

Anyone noticed this http://www.webdog.org/cgi-bin/finger.plm?id=183
"This person will be responsible for assisting in the development of single player AI for a Doom3 based product."

I think it's pretty obvious that they're hiring for Quake IV. So does it mean they're only now starting the actual coding of the game? That they're only been working with concept art all these (two?) years?

 

[jonbob]

Not necessarily, perhaps one of their existing coders has quit, or they just need more help. Either that or they have been concentrating on things other than AI so far.

 

[mdpeaco]

I know I can't wait for HL2 but I'm overthe hype, I'm gonna poo myself when I start thinkin' about Doom 3.

From what I've seen, HL2 is gonna pwn Doom 3.

 

[Mr.Magnetichead]

I have 57 Quake 4 Screen Shots.

 

[Gunner]

I have 57 Quake 4 Screen Shots.

I have 58...

Seriously though, I couldn't care less about Quake IV. Multiplayer is just too fast paced for me.

 

[kungfucheez]

I havent seen any screens of Quake 4 yet

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

I never knew there were any...

Can someone tell me where they are?

 

[simmo]

I think some concept art got leaked...and it looked awsome

 

[lans]

quake IV.....meh.

 

[kidrock450]

Which engine is supposed to be coming out wher the x800xt cant even get 10 fps on? It was either the next quake engine or Unreal engine.

 

[SFLUFAN]

That would be the next Unreal engine. Supposedly, you'd need a 1024 mb card to run it properly.

Quake IV is using the Doom III engine.

 

[kidrock450]

a 1024 mb CARD? wow. When is that suppose to be coming out?

 

[MrWhite]

Meh... the quake series always seemed really bland to me... typical story line.... characters and emenies werent thought out well at all... really boring game play.

but thats just to me.

i dont know... to each his own.

maybe if they make Q4 visually impressive then i'll get into the story more

 

[gh0st]

the quake series doesnt make revolutionary games, they make revolutionary engines.

 

[manny_c44]

Yeah the model renders of the Quake marines are quite impressive...if those are actual gameplay models there's no way anybody's running that game any time soon. It'll probably be out in 3 years.

 

[kidrock450]

link to screen shots?

 

[Mr.Magnetichead]

There are no legal shots other than a single drawing.

Quake 4 isn't MP based.

It's SP and is set during the Quake 2 Strogg War Period.

 

[EVIL]

this time it wont represent a new engine but the old doom3 engine. Plus the game is made by raven, so dont expect to see a techdemo style game

 

[Seppo]

Anyone remember the ending demo of Quake II, where the escape pod had crash landed and the marine's hand rose from from the shipwreck. I think that's where Quake IV will start.

 

[Darkknighttt]

whats so good about quake 4? is it mainly multiplayer?!

 

[Seppo]

Well, it's a new game to the Quake series, damnit!

It'll focus more on the single player experience

 

[Gunner]

Ah that's odd. I thought since they had D3 for the SP experience they were gonna use Q4 as their MP game :[

 

[what!?]

I hope Q4 has a great multiplayer. The concept art pic looked wicked.

 

[Seppo]

Ah that's odd. I thought since they had D3 for the SP experience they were gonna use Q4 as their MP game :[

Yeah, I also thought it would work like that. Maybe it's because Raven are developing Quake IV, not id software. And didn't id mention a totally new game that's not a sequel to any of their previous games. Maybe that's their next multiplayer project.

 

[Devilphish]

Nerve Software - the people who made the RTCW multiplayer - are developing a new MP based franchise on the Doom3 engine. Splash Damage, who developed Enemy Territory, are also working on a Doom3 engine based title which is probably MP based, but we don't know anything about it yet so I'm just speculating.

 

[ShadowFox]

Didn't Nerve become Grey Matter?

 

[Devilphish]

No, they are two different companies. Both Nerve and Grey Matter did work on RTCW though. One developed the SP, the other developed the MP.

 

[Sai]

well...gray matter got the short end of that stick
