Quake 4 Visual Preview
Andre Medeiros writes "CNet is featuring a visual preview of the upcoming entry in the Quake series." From the article: "Bodies everywhere - As you can see, Quake 4 stays true to a well-worn first-person shooter trope: no matter where you go, your expendable fellow Marines will litter the ground and silently warn that you're about to be ambushed by plasma-wielding aliens."
1st don't get me wrong, Doom 3 wasn't a bad game for what it was supposed to be; a re release of the orginal Doom but it had no where near enough of the run and gun of Doom and Doom 2.
Quake 4 on the other hand looks like it kept with this format and did it right; utter chaos everywhere. Can't wait for this to be relased
Slashdot sigs contain more useful information than the articals
Quake 4 is that new expansion pack for Doom 3? Seriously though, is it necessary that the visual style of the game be exactly like that of D3? Couldn't they have changed the look of the levels, or at least made it look like the characters weren't skinned by the same person?
In fact the multiplayer is going to have Q3 physics (which will be different from the single player). So you will again be able to rocket jump, strafe jump, etc. I'm excited.
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars looks to me like the game I'll buy.
(warning: Flash site) W:ET and WoW are the only games I play online lately. And I'm only trying WoW out on a friends acct to see if its really all that.
No sig for you!!
Why is everyone bothered about 1 year old screenshots. Heres the video trailer for it instead. http://www.gamespot.com/promos/quake4/play.html
