I wasn't aware of ID's lates development plans so Quake IV sounded like a reasonable thing to me. I instantly went onto the site with the screenshots and only at the 4th screenshot did i realize that something had to be wrong there.
At the first image, i thought: "Whoa, what a huge gun. Almost taking the entire screen. Funny colors (almost too colorful)... but hey, as long as it kills the monsters in an efficient way..."
Then, at the second image i thought: "Wow, this looks damn realistic. The graphics seem to be wonderful. Whatever this green stuff may be, it looks very real!"
At the third one, i thought: "Hmm, well, ok. The ID guys are probably gonna change the design of the weapon a bit. They will surely remove the "Cola" on it. But damn again, the graphics are awesome. What a great mirror effect. By the way, what is this white light in the mirror? Is the gun doing this? Must be some kind of plasma weapon. Also, the location looks very uncommon for a Quake game. No dungeon or whatsoever.. no, it looks like a normal room. But this idea is actually not bad. Just think of having a bunch of the usual Quake monsters in your house. You'd need to frag them without destroying your computer or TV..."
Heh, and then i saw the 4th screenshot. At first i thought that someone had put a wrong set of screenshots among the Quake IV photos but then i "quickly" realized that the whole thing wasn't for real.;-)
I am currently mirroring it at http://snafu.de/~kl/netscape6/. I hope you will be able to fetch it w/o problems! This is only the Linux version! Bye, Kaspar
