Quake 4 Renders and Concept Art
p0z3r writes "Following a recent story about Endorphin (from a previous Slashdot post), I came across the newly released Quake 4 renders. Hope you like them!" 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.
One thing to remember is that the models used for the current renders may not be what's released in the game. They may be using million polygon models, and cut it back to a "more reasonable" ten thousand for actual gameplay.
Looking at the concept art, a few ideas for Q4 can be found in the notes. Apparently humans are going to be used as power cells (one and two). Humans may be upgraded into Strogg troops, power cells, or other pieces of Strogg technology. Then again, things could very well change by the time the game is released.
I'm starting to wonder if Q4 is going to be a "retelling" of Q2, rather than a sequel.
Are these actual models going to be used in the game? They look more like something that would be used in a cut scene or intro. If it's going to be used in the game, then that's VERY nice!
I wonder how all these renders will fit into the story of the game. Is quake 4 supposed to be a single player experience or multi?

How does Mario Bros. not tell a story? /me runs off to rescue the princess.
I've had this sig for three days.
The mirror does not not work for me. Was anyone else able to snag a copy before these went down?
