Quake 4 - its comin'
Screenshots and whatnot are in the current issue of PC Gamer, though I cant find info anywhere else on the web, so you're gonna have to take my word for it.
Raven is making it, using the Doom3 engine, and instead of a scare-fest like Doom3, its going to be an all out run-n-gun mayhem. focus is going to be on single-player, its a direct sequel to Quake2, and you will constantly have marine buddies (controlled by AI) that back you up. All this probably means that if your PC was stut-stut-stuttering when playing Doom3, you're really gonna need an upgrade for Quake4.

Never ask these questions. If there is one thing that Far Cry and Doom3 taught us it is the answer is always "Yes, except with x and x turned on, or above x resolution." Still, the 9600 is showing it's age.

Maybe in Q4... they'll add the ability to JUMP without having to use a jump pad or the rocket launcher.

Me too. Both online and single player of Quake 2 were great fun. Quake 3 = rocket tag. |

As long as the marine buddies have better intelligence than the ones in Daikatana (last game I can remember that used allies like that to help you through a single-player game). |

The original Call of Duty was great, the expansion was so-so. The first one was developed by Infinity Ward the expansion was done by the Return to Castle Wolfenstein people because Infinity Ward is working on Call of Duty 2. I noticed a big difference. Call of Duty never got frustrating to me, not once. The expansion I can think of at least 3 places where I had to reload and try again over 25 times. Thats when a game stops being challenging and starts being annoying. |
