Quake 4

There's a bunch of new Q4 screenshots over at Shacknews which look great- I'm hoping there are enough enemies and diversity to make it a blast, and the return of mini-bosses will be greatly welcomed too. Quite looking forward to this one.

Here's an XBox pic- KFS, feel free to tell us what he's called and if he's going to be in the PC version :wink:

meh, a six year old with one arm could make that in hammer lick-ity-split.

honestly the screen doesn't impress me, but I dont care because I dont really play any other games.

PC Gamer has that pic I believe (only looked at it in the shop
ahem...). Apparently they are just harvester things and dont directly
attack you like striders do. Not that there is any similarity to striders or anything...

What I wanna know is, Why do we have an inside man on the Quake project and have to find new screen shots from outside the loop :/

Is there some kind of rule against pre-releasing info on this game of yours Andrew?

I'd never dream of asking you to jeopardizing your job, but... I hate hearing about something late, or even on time when I know someone who has seen these screens weeks/months ago.

/Me continues drooling.

The best things in life, aren't things.

FPS on a console is like oil in water. They just don't mix. PS2 needs to stick to God of War, Gamecube to Zelda and XBox to being lame. Leave 1st person killing to the PCers. Don't get me wrong, that screenie is pretty wicked, but it never looks as good on a TV set 5-15 away. Plus, you don't have as much control over the game in a console as you do on a PC. You have like what, 10 buttons MAX on a console? I have 6 on my mouse....for one hand. It just gets boring after awhile for me it seems trying to play an action game on consoles.

Wait...what is this thread about? Oh yeah....looks cool....keep it PC, folks :smile:

KFS is only a level designer, and as such is not allowed to release any info on the game unless its already been released by the PR division- geeze, thought you guys would have figured that out!

And Dark tree your a fewl, FPS on Xbox is kickass- I can't imagine playing UC2 on PC, just wouldn't work with the melee mode and such.

Final bitch- I don't like what Raven has done with Quake series, tbh, it doesn't look impressive, and it looks too much like Doom. None of the original escense has been kept. I know, I know, theres a new Makron, but still, the marines look completely different and the levels look like Doom 3 part 2.

Yeah, there's a big thing called 'being fired' I'm not keen on. :smile: I technically shouldn't even be posting in a thread on it. So don't expect any questions to be answered. :razz:

That one's a bad shot of a bad angle seeing it from where you aren't supposed to see it.

Try these for a much better impression, and check out the trailer (also available from numerous other sites). The E3 demo will undoubtedly hit shakycam in the next day or two as well.

from the screens on that site it looks like a cross-breed between halo and doom3

Well, when/if you can say something without that hanging over your noggin, you better inform us firstest. :biggrin:

you know, I fully expect a complimentary copy of the game in my mail when this thing is released. you are gonna remember your friends when you are famous.. right? :razz:

Just how many free copies are you gonna give away Andrew?

/runs

I think Orph, it may be more useful for your crazy ideas to get to know someone from sales department so you never have to buy games again lol... Not supporting your friends by buying the game and hence giving them money... tisk tisk.

-[Better to be Honest than Kind]-

Myrk, you know my acquisition practices, but you would also be surprised at just how many games I do buy each year.

I have this thing for owning my own copies. As strange as that sounds, I want to have the originals of my favorites. So, even if I acquire a questionable copy in the beginning, you will almost always see the original around shortly afterward.

Just yesterday I bought Empire Earth 2..

Anywho's, I am poor, but I still spend several hundred dollars per year on my PC's. :razz:

It looks too plastic for me; very hard to take something that looks so
fake so seriously. Doom 3 worked because you couldn't see anything. :razz:

Trailer wasn't really much; there's a genuine opportunity to create
something with depth here, I hope they take advantage of it.

Sorry if filesize is a bit big, I just took the bbCode from another forum with the same image.

Second shot looks spiffy.

I WANT TO KEEP MY SNARKPIT NAME AS THURSDAY- AND NOT CHANGE IT TO MY NEW ALIAS OF THALDARIN! WHY? NOSTALGIC PURPOSES FOR ME! STOP ASKING ME IF I WANT TO GET IT CH

French Toast thats probably a pre render, not in game lol :razz: Even then, thier uniforms look like they are chafing thier chocolate starfishes!

That's killzone 2. It is rendered, or at least not running real-time on the PS3 hardware. It's impressive in motion, though, and on par with Blur's Dawn of War intro cinematic and such when it comes to the action. But not actual gameplay in the least - and if it is, it'd be pretty crappy. :razz:

That first pic looks pretty nice... perhaps there is still some hope for Q4 and the D3 engine! :razz:

Too bad my computer will choke and die on it though.

That pic also looks close to the "crop watchers" from The Matrix....which isn't a bad thing

I am curious to see how my new PC handles it in its current config. I have plenty of upgradeability left so I have no worries about it doing so eventually.

The best things in life, aren't things.

Doom 3 is kinda the same as HL2, maybe a bit more demanding because its all rendered in game as opposed to pre rendered lighting a la HL2.

On the note of Killzone, does anyone think that person in that screenshot has a resemblence to the guy from the TV program "Cheers!"?

If you analyse the video of that Killzone game (it all looks as good as that shot almost) then I don't think its too unfeasable to create it. There arn't many shadows and its just some really nice bump mapping or something done on the skins. Obviously it's been tweaked, but I don't think they've done much to it.

Ted Danson? perhaps a bit.. he is Caucasian. :razz:

Cumon! You see it! Same bone structure, different hair line.

You have to agree though, the guy behind the Ted Danson guy looks f**king hilarious- his face looks so stupid.

Discounting the fact that Danson looks gay? Sure I can see it. :rolleyes:

/me is f**king with'ya bud, I see it too, now that you mention it. :smile:

Looking better, I saw the vid and didn't like it much. Looked
nice but it was the same space base type thing from doom 3. Dont
they have flat walls and well lit rooms in the year 2300!?

All these games look alot alike, metal bumb mapped walls, dynamic
lighting, pipes, steam, lots of shadows... I want to see some diffrent
locations!

though that screen shot with the cheers guy looks great!

Those screen shots really do look straight out of Doom 3.

NOW WHAT MONSTER DOES THAT LOOK LIKE

(not Ted Danson - though he's a sexy beast)

I've read that those Killzone 2 screenshots might actually be in-game.

4 out of 5 smileys thought that was funny. LOL So Did I.

Hey Kage, I love your Sig.. Im just like B.A. Barrakus in that respect.. I aint getting on no plane foo.

I've got the vid of Killzone 2 that those screenshots are from. It doth
look like the ace. Though the enemies do remind me of the Combine. A
lot. And that gunship.

And at the beggining of the vid - is it me or are they wearing grey HEV suits?

DAD-GUM-IT I may have to buy a stupid ass PS3 just to play this game. Crap. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will be a PC title as well.

Thats the one

I saw the Killzone video in the little Sony theatre at E3 - no way in hell that is ingame.

I agree that playing fps on a console feels akward, when coming from the pc. I do believe that controllers and interface options will improve, and eventually, this will be a moot point. Weighing, however, all of the other benefits of console over pc (especially with the next gen consoles actually surpassing pc's power at release), things look pretty damn good for console.

It's inevitable - fps will own consoles in the next generation, and you WILL like it!! Oh, and looking at COD2 running on a 40 inch HD tv... OMG. Beautiful.

I'd play more console FPS's if they would come out with a sort of FPS control, perhaps with a mouse ball replacing one of the joy's.

Oh, and there was somthing on G4 with an interview with a Killzone developer, apparently that is in game footage, they probably don't tell you about all the pre-rendered things they added to it.

---

You know, I've actually got nothing to say

They should make up their damn minds! Sony say "its all real time on
the PS3", then were hear from Guerilla (the developers) that is "what
they hope it will look like", then "its game footage", then we hear
that the Scottish company who did the first game's pre-rendered intro
video apparently made it, then.......
