I'm a little tired with quale actually.
I didnt think q2 had that much od a story anyway. but if they can actually pull it off a buid on it that'll be good.

but honestly I think its a bad move to make q4 have a single player focus and then whiile it does include a multiplayer mode to not include vehicles.

by going single player they have to compete against halflife2 and doom3 (for that reason alone i think its a bad idea to be developing an fps right now) and in the multiplayer real it seems like the compettion is going to come from Ut2k4. but by excluding vehicles theyve already lost. vehicles in multiplayer have become a staple since CS and a re just recently getting extremely good.

ihate quake after 1,i hated the multiplayer

quake was a single player to start with

and people will still buy it,they wont have to compete,im gonna buy doom 3,still gonna buy HL2,im not gonna ignore HL2,just cos doomis out,same can be said for Q4,folk will still buy it outta pure morbid interest

interest?

while im sure some exists. its no where near the level of interest that the other 3 games are pulling.

yeah,i gotta agree there

still,quake is one of the oringinals,wortha look,and aint valve kinda on the same company as Id?

hmm... those were good games, how come i haven't seen any more of those i wonder...

kaos · Post by **kaos** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 5:19 pm

I wonder that too.

That heritic/Hex series should have been an ongoing that has games going even up till now.

they could do so fucking much with it if they wanted.
I really hate when potential isnt realized.

quake 4 is being built on the Doom 3 engine...

and im sure Id is involved with the development

... :mellow:

kaos · Post by **kaos** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 6:37 pm

involved yes...
making it..no.

Id and raven have a long history

Id makes the engine and fisrt game and then they hand the engine to raven and also give them a few tips on how to use it.

from what ive read its the same process with Q4.
Id's involvment is so minimal that its irrelivant.

irrelivant?!?!?!?

... <_< :mellow:

kaos · Post by **kaos** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 6:54 pm

yeah. aside from creating the engine and the initial quake2 world. they really arent gonna do much aside from make suggestions, and most of those will be technical issues you'll never see. like getting the best outta some shaders.

well.. i wouldent say its a bad idea.. especially because doom 3 is just out. ID will make money outa this either way, as will raven. (i doubt this will be out for a while anyway)

I think quake 4 will be a good game.. possibly better than Doom 3.

Only time will tell. :mellow:

kaos · Post by **kaos** » Fri Sep 17, 2004 1:34 pm

might be out sooner than you think actually. q4 concept art surfaced around the time doom3 was announced. and ofcourse Id will make money. engines arent cheap.(oh god they arent cheap)
