The Art and Design of Quake 4
Gamespy has a feature discussing the upcoming first person shooter Quake 4. More details about the title are revealed in an interview and screenshots provided by some of the folks at Raven. From the article: "I think we have a lot of diversity throughout the entire game. We have some dark areas, and we have outdoor areas that are brighter. I think how diverse everything is will really go a long way. We didn't really set out saying, 'This game is going to be dark, this game is going to be light' -- we set out to make a cohesive environment where you go through different extremes and you'll see a bunch of different stuff."
i can't wait for Super Mario 54 turbo special edition, Quake 4 is just a stepping stone !
Quake not dark and brown? Blasphemy!
Just what we need; a politically correct multicultural FPS!
... the name quakenet will make sense again!
Are the lighting subcontractors in the Quake universe as horrible as those in the Doom 3 universe?
However, if I could have my wife (and/or our friends) play with me, it would make the game much more appealing!
I think you have gotten swinging and gaming confused here.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
Mmmm.. High resolution nipples!
He puts the er in gamer baby, yeah!
I mean, grr in...ah, forget it...
You can hold down the "B" button for continuous firing.
By diversity, he means the enemies will come in Asian, Black, Arab, etc. The demons will of course use affirmative action to recruit more minority demons.
These guys did the design work for the Jedi Knights games right? They know all about dark sides and light sides.
Good choice for a game that has an amazing lighting engine I would imagine...
Sigs? We don't need no stinking sigs!
We have some dark areas, and we have outdoor areas that are brighter.
Wow!! They have both bright AND dark areas! You can't beat that binary diversity! A pinnacle of innovative game design, I tell you.
I've heard rumors that your character will also be able to move both left AND right, but shhh, you didn't hear it from me, I don't want to get sued for releasing trade secrets.
Id software really needs to do something different this time. Their old recipe is getting boring. I would like to see Quake 4 in a more festive environment like maybe a circus with lots of clowns and bright colors everywhere. Instead of shooting weapons that explode monsters, maybe the first person character could walk around and give flowers to people. Or casually listen in on the conversations of strangers in the crowd until they can tell when one of them is going to go to Hell like a Catholic or a Jehovah's witness. Then you could score points by proselytizing them to evangelical christianity and saving as many of their souls as you can before the game ends with the Rapture! But look out for those evil mooslims in the crowd or they may blow you up before you finish God's work. Family fun for everyone!
Liberals call everyone Nazis yet they are the closest thing to it.
It appeals to the under-aged crowd that's not supposed to be playing this Mature-rated game. No doubt that some government body will try to ban this game while using Duke Nukem 3D as an example of nipple artwork.
I wonder if they will have the easter egg from Quake 2 where two Strogg chicks were blowing a Tank Commander on a throne. Hmmm... Gotta love it when a game appeals to the little boy (or dike for the chicks) in us.
What do you expect when someone has a large frame and weighs 355 pounds? Fortunately, I been working out at the gym to trim down and carry more muscle weight.
:P
I'm actually smaller than my Dad's mother who own a pet bull (that's a bull, not a puny pit bull). Even the bull was afraid of her, especially when she got belt out.
Don't ask how I know this, and don't tell anyone about it, but the word on the grapevine is, this new Quake 4 will involve moving around a corridor in a first-person perspective shooting things with fantasy guns.
Yeah, but upgrading in preparation for doom 3 made HL2 run soooo much better :)
I patented screwing your mom. But it got revoked for "prior art."
