Quake 4 Renders and Concept Art

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the eye-candy-from-the-future dept.

They're still lacking in the color department, but man oh man are they full of detail. I'm betting Quake 4 requires me to upgrade my hardware again, but I'm inclined to say it's worth it for graphics like these. Update: 07/19 17:54 GMT by S : It seems the images have now been removed from the Quake3World site.

    Doom 3 is being developed by Id Software. Quake 4 is being developed by Raven Software. Get it?

    These are the extremely high-polygon count models from which the final models + bump maps will be computed. The in-game models will have far fewer polygons, but automatically-computed bump maps that simulate the higher-count renders.

    Take a look at Polybump for an example of this technology.

    Quake 4 is based on Doom iii's engine. Doom III supposedly focuses primarily on singleplayer with very limited mp support (4 players max or something is the figure I read in an interview).

    Of course, they could release a Doom II mp add-on which ends up being incorporated in the Quake 4 base game.
