  1. Yet Another First Person Shooter... by ZephyrXero · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Am I the only one failing to see what Quake 4 is going to offer that Doom 3 hasn't already? Same graphics? Yep. Same gameplay? Yep. Similar Multiplayer? Yep.... These guys should have just focused on making mods and expansions rather than trying to brand this as a seperate game. I figure after the onslaught of FPS we saw last year maybe they'd give us a break for a year or two... :P

      It's amazing more people don't realize the stagnancy of the first person shooter genre. Or maybe more people DO realize it, which begs the question: why do these sell like crazy?
