Quake 4

[Lucid]

Buying it for SP.
Bought Quake 2. Played a demo of Quake 3... Played Quake at a friends house.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

hmm...so its mixed reviews here about Quake4?
i also want to get it and FEAR as well but i can only get one game at a time right now...so uh.. looking for some more input here.

 

[ComradeBadger]

I want Quake4 for the MP.. FEAR's mp was a big load of pants

 

[nutcrackr]

I've heard good and bad for this game which makes it really confusing for me. The mp interests me though updated q3 doesn't sound too bad..

[Lemonking]

damn you with ur hawt rig ^_^

 

[Cormeh]

Any news on a demo yet? Quake 4 is one game I'd like to try before I buy.

 

[Agent.M]

I started playing this game last night and it seems pretty good to me I dont know whats up with the reviews but Im having a great time so far.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Goddammit, FEAR, Serious Sam 2, AND Q4 all at once?! Getting the DVD special editions would put me out $150!

 

[wilka91]

after playing Quake 4 for 30 minutes I must say that this game is underrated, although I didn't test the multiplayer part yet ...

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Soundtrack! What about the soundtrack!

 

[Zeus]

wow spoiler below

Spoiler

dear god did anyone else get to the part where kane gets made into a strogg? that was quite possibly the most disturbing thing ive ever seen in a game when they saw his legs off (good thing it blacked out) and inject those needles into his chest and head.. :O

I just played a bit, and while it's not as great as F.E.A.R. I still quite enjoy it actually. It's pretty cool how you got a squad with you, and they seem to have pretty good AI. They can actually kill the enemy as well.

The weapons (pistol, rifle and shotgun so far) are pretty nice as well, they feel more like real weapons instead of those crap guns in Doom 3 which felt like you were firing a soft airgun or something.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Alright so the game is finally on store shelves, and I can finally say that I was a tester for this.

I hope everyone is having fun with it!

 

[Warbie]

How does it compare to Doom 3 guys?

 

[Zeus]

How does it compare to Doom 3 guys?

I think it's better...its not like D3 where your alone all the time, from what ive played (probably over halfway through) you're almost always with or near a friendly squad to help...and its not constantly pitch black like doom 3 but it puts some of D3's great lighting effects to help create a very good atmosphere...

this games no F.E.A.R. but its good and better than doom 3 IMO

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

does it have an awesome metal soundtrack like q2 did? The soundtrack improved q2 by at least 25%, IMHO.

Soundtrack! What about the soundtrack!

;(

It must not have any music to speak of ... ?

 

[h00dlum]

;(

Well i havent really noticed the music that much..but what ive heard its like "Starship Troopers-ish" kinda music..

 

[satch919]

Well, I finally broke down and decided to buy this game. I love it so far. The enemies are fun to fight, the squad guys look like they're actually helping you out, the game looks good on high settings, the animation is also awesome. I wasn't expecting a whole lot after seeing that PC Gamer review. Its a solid game in my book. so far, I give it an 8.5/10.

 

[diluted]

What is the multiplayer like?

 

[ailevation]

So, the engine must have to be optimized this time around?

Does it run better than D3? I will pick it up regardless anyways.

 

[Sulkdodds]

So it's actually quite good?

 

[Asknoone]

Might just get this now.

 

[Kouler]

I reckon its worth getting. PCGamer underrated it.

 

[Steven]

I'm not to impressed with some of the screenshots, they look like Doom 3 gone gay. IMHO

"Gone gay"? Can you elaborate on this at all? :|

 

[Loke]

So it's actually quite good?

In my opinion, yes it is.

And I'm with Zeus on this too. This is no F.E.A.R. but it's much better than Doom 3.

 

[cadaver]

In my opinion, yes it is.

And I'm with Zeus on this too. This is no F.E.A.R. but it's much better than Doom 3.

since I enjoyed the first half of doom III very much I will buy this.

 

[AfternoonLemon]

Has anyone tested out the multiplayer yet??

 

[Fonaki]

It kills me that I won't be able to get this game before the 28th

 

[Garfield_]

Im not far in the game but i think its good. MP was good because it was only old-school.

 

[satch919]

So it's actually quite good?

Yes, it is. It's more intense than DOOM 3. You'll be dealing with quite a few enemies at a time. I'd also recommend that you play it at a higher difficulty setting than normal.

 

[Garfield_]

It runs very well on my PC even with high detail and anti-alias at 2x and i only got a x800 PRO card, P4 2,8 and 1gb of ram. Its to early for me to say if its good or even great. But some parts of the game are very impressive, huge, gigantic and some just arent. For those who've played Doom3, you'll recognize alot of stuff that are similar to Quake 4. which sucks

You know what? you've concinced me, I'm getting this game!













It should finish *ahem* the installation processes *ahem* in 20 hours. :naughty:
EDIT

No war3z talk please.

o sh*t. :O

 

[Cormeh]

That's bad.

No warez talk please.

:O

 

[jondy]

What is it with the *nudge**wink* attitude toward warez on these forums? Pirate if you want, it's your prerogative, but for God's sake don't be a smartass about it.

WTF!

anyway, my Frag day starts 2moro................... YEAAAAAAAAAAH :O

 

[Adabiviak]

I was hoping for a more epic opening sequence, although it was pretty fun. I'm very pleased already (barely through the first level). New enemies, good graphics. The squad does help pretty well - you come around a corner that they have "taken" and you're safe. If you go back and are ambushed, you can run back to the place they've secured and they'll handle them.

... ehrm - not that I've ever had to do that myself.

Don't be a jerk man! Just buy the damn game and support the people who made it. Those artists worked extremely hard to provide you with some entertainment for 10+ hours. The least you could do is give them 50 bucks.

 

[Garfield_]

Some people just cant afford 50 bucks
