Quake 4

[Clash!]

Well I read (it was in one of the four game magzines that all arrived on the same day at my house), but what I read that it will definatly be coming to the Xbox. And is supposed to be a Sequal to Quake 2, i.e. Solo Player. So who knows, I am not a fan of Quake, just passing along some info.

I don't know about the idea of driving around, but one thing I had in mind was being able to control a gun-turrent from certain standpoints like "war: final assult".

But seriously, what kind of an asshole leaks secrets and expects friends to "keep it on the QT".

PS: I am not confirming or denying ANYTHING.

PPS: J. Allard is a real nice guy. I worked in the same building as he. His Silver Ferrari is the JAM. Thats it. Carry on.

I hate you

I want to work in the Xbox division!! Hell, say what you will about MS but it'd be great to work for them. That's one company (from what all I hear and read) that treats its people well.

--anyway--
I look forward to Quake 4. I am positive that the game will be heading in a diffrent direction than previous ID games (since Q4 is not being developed by ID - by Raven of Soldier of Fortuane fame rather). Shit, you know the game and the franchice is doomed anyway :/ Too many people say it should stay the same and too many people say that Quake is too boring and unoriginal... MOST of all of those are the same people. I say - If it's a good game, fine I'll play (as I have for all other Quake games) and if not - no loss... there's more games like 'that' where they came from. No biggie.

I belive you read that in Play Magazine.

Quake should just change into a driving sim already.
Or maybe they could just make it a car combat game with damage physics and special moves?

They should have a weapon in Q4 that causes earthquakes.

You sir, are correct.

Ever play the Q1 mod Quake Rally?

The Quake series has sucked since, well, Quake. Hopefully Raven will turn things around, but from the looks of it...

Quake 1 was the Street Fighter 2 of first-person shooters. Nothing beats a 1 vs. 1 game of Quake on DM1 - DM6. No FPS has been able to touch the original, not even the sequels. I expect the same from Quake 4, especially since Raven is doing it.

Funny that many consider it unoriginal, as it's basically what created FPS' as we know them today.

That said, I do not feel Quake should move in this direction because we already have enough games in this same style coming out. The genre will become flooded with clones like it has a few times before, and will collapse again. And if Quake moves out of the way it's been handled, we'll have no new quick-kill FPS' on the market at all, making Serious Sam 2 the last of its kind for probably another couple years.

I do have faith in Raven to stay true to the source material while delivering an excellent product (JKII, ST:EF being a couple of shining examples right there, and some of the only games those licenses have produced that captured their source material perfectly), so we'll see.

Don't forget the start map. Oh how I love the start map... some of my favorite times were on this one server that was shotguns only on the start map. I was so fucking good there, rarely was I not in first place. Too bad I blow at twitch FPS these days...
