Quake 4 = GOLD!!!

[Max35]

no demo before release is like a movie that doesnt allow reviews to see it before the release. there is the potential that they are hiding something. heres to hoping im wrong. (i know PLENTY of games dont have demos, and there are plenty of reasons developers/publishers may not want one, im just speculating)

HL2 didn't have a demo to start with, and look how incredible that turned out. And from what I understand Raven's track record far surpasses Id's as far as implementing interesting gameplay goes. Story?, well we'll have to see on that. Doom 3 was a tech demo in a lot of respects, and it was made by Id. Quake 4 has had time to further refine the technology, and the gameplay associated with the tech (not to mention a very capable developer). Will Q4 own all?, not sure yet but I'm keeping an open mind.

There are some games that are hyped up beyond belief, like FEAR, who knows if it will deliver on it's promises. Hey, for all we know, this may be the next revolution of the Quake series.

I'm buying q4. No question. I almost preordered it for the t-shirt-in-a-box, then realized it's probably a Medium ("one size fits all, hyuk!") so I didnt. We require XL.

By the way, does this thread title remind anyone of a certain Penny Arcade comic (those of you that read it)?

i really would love to see the singleplayer live up to expectations

i think you've got it the wrong way, it should most definitely be the other way around... or in my case just warez both (i need to save money for a car)

Im buying Q4 because for its MP,

FEAR MP is worthless.

Whoops, forgot it was Raven
So then people thing it looks bad because it's using the Doom 3 engine? That's even dumber than what I said before
Or is it because of Raven? Do they have a bad track record?

Raven has a good track record. They have made a name for themselves by making better games than Id, using Id's tech.

Games include:
Heretic 1 2
Hexen 1 2
Soldier of Fortune 1 2
Star Trek Elite Force
Star Wars Jedi Outcast
Star Wars Jedi Academy

A very creative and skilled team with single player in focus.
