Satanic?! its aliens man! Get it straight.

 

[Flo_Evans]

What the hell, even FarCry had monsters?! I thought it was supposed to be a military-esque shooter... Is it some kind of unwritten rule for western developers that if you make a FPS, you have to include 'teh monstorz'?

Damn it I hate 95% of all FPS's... >_<

may I suggest you check out battlefeild? 100% monster free

 

[Doc Holliday]

anyone who hates FPS's should play BF2....hmmm scratch that

Everyone should get bf2, join us.

 

[dorio]

Who cares about the art, this is how the art was from the original game. This sucks on a technical level.

 

[Xenon]

I wonder if ID could even make a game without cyborgs. It would be funny if they said to their character designers "For the next game we want you guys to not use cyborgs" and watch the MGS like exclimations appear on their face.

 

[Flo_Evans]

I havent got BF2 yet. I was waiting till I upgraded my PC, then I realized my PC was a complete peice of shit, so I ordered a whole new one. See you in a few weeks

You ever play Quake?

[Ruzbeh]

Man. I really enjoyed Quake 3. I think maybe they should just focus on gameplay. Or maybe they already are.

[Xenon]

You ever play Quake?

yes, the single player game was pretty lame.

 

[Doc Holliday]

it had no monsters....who cares about sp, that game defined pc online gaming.

 

[Mooreberg]

The adoption of UE3 is gonna speed up after this comes out. :lol

 

[Barnimal]

I missed this one...

Dude, you admitted that you enjoyed Far Cry. Come on now...

:lol :lol :lol OMGWTF!!! tears!!!! literally!!! someone start a petition to get ID to just give up.

 

[Doc Holliday]

:lol :lol :lol OMGWTF!!! tears!!!! literally!!! someone start a petition to get ID to just give up.

Thats Far Cry..

 

[Barnimal]

Thats Far Cry..

oh. :lol

 

[Musashi Wins!]

This is horrid.

I'd rather play the first beach attack scene in FarCry by itself rather than ever touch Doom 3 again.

What if I made a mod that made the imps insist that they were going to fireball you in the face?

ok then.

 

[CaptainSimian]

I liked Far Cry - more games need alternate render/effects modes.
Oh, and F.E.A.R. looks way better than this.

 

[callous]

YAY FOR GENERIC FPS ART!!!!

I mean, Jesus Christ. If they don't have anyone with more inspiration than this, hire someone. NOW.

 

[nitewulf]

this is like the worst artstyle known to mankind.
an ID game w/ space marines and 80's fantasy metal demons.
ZOMG! teh shocking!!
damn, cant they see how hideous their art is?????? what the fuck.

 

[Zaptruder]

The monster in FarCry were pretty bad...HAPPY

And i was speaking about Quake4 here. I can live with good techno-satanic-shit but quake 4 epitomize BAD techno-satanic-shit

Seriously though... Gears of War does that type of art so much better.

 

[bbyybb]

Looks like Quake Wars is the only half decent looking game on the Doom 3 engine so far.


Cheers.

 

[----]

People are dissing the Doom 3 engine, but Prey is one of the best looking FPS in development and it's using the Doom 3 engine.

I don't see the point of wearing all that armor if you're not going to wear a helmet.

It's the same concept of the negligee-clad female warrior in Fantasy games.

 

[dark10x]

"Armor cliches" are the worst. It is so rare to find a game that actually puts armor to use in any sort of realistic manner...

Fallout!

Brotherhood of Steel guys wore a 20 kg helmets on top of 100 kg Advanced Power Armors. Awesome game, nothing was wrong with it.

double standards rock

 

[Kleegamefan]

Thats Far Cry..

pwnd

 

[Acosta]

Terrible, that last screen... I have seen much better things this gen than that, terrible capture. Don´t know if MS have a word about the screens of 360 games that are released, but if they have they are doing a terrible work.

 

[SonnyBoy]

Man, this is the 1st generation where I can purchase my own equipment on launch day between MS and the developers I dont know who's trying to make me cancel my preorder faster. :lol

Im going to hold out till I see Madden 360...

 

[C- Warrior]

Ah, isn't it sooo beautiful when GAF comes together and universally hates on a game.

Oh, almost forgot.

"Quake 4 looks like shit."

Hmm, something is still missing, oh yeah, the ever so important " :lol "

There we go.

 

[reallyfull]

Here's a vid from Quakecon 2005 which is going on right now. It shows off the multiplayer for the pc against other people. I love quake 3 so I'm probably a little biased but this looks like fun. here

 

[methodman]

Who cares if it seems to be fun; The game looks like shit.

 

[Stryder]

^^

When seeing this quoted in the thread I thought it was a photoshop joke done by someone, the marine's head and the floating .. thing look like there were inserted to be funny.

This game looks awful

 

[Mrbob]

If this game doesn't run at 60FPS locked there is a problem. The base technology already runs at a decent clip on the original Xbox. Games like Quake 4 give Xbox 360 the Xbox 1.5 stigma because it looks just loke Doom 3!

What a happy couple.

 

[puck1337]

Is Quake 4 supposed to be a parody?

 

[C- Warrior]

...looks like he got hit in the balls or something.

 

[G-Fex]

man, thsoe aren't quake marines. Quake marines grit their teeth really hard.

 

[reallyfull]

I don't give a crap about the singleplayer. I'm talking about the multiplayer which IMO the quake series can't be beat. Looks like crap? compared to what? Gameplay over graphics?

I play quake 3 like this :

When it can look like this:

and I'm sure I have a higher spec pc than the average GA'er.

 

[bee]

oooh u use almost the same graphics settings as me its like u say gameplay over graphics any day,i got a athlon64 3200,1gb,6800gt and still play it like that.im sure i'll play quake 4 with full graphics for around an hour then enable r_picmip 5 and all the other settings.

 

[Barnimal]

why?

 

[Mrbob]

Well, if we are going to talk gameplay over graphics why release a Xbox 360 version at all? Might as well release it on Xbox. Doom 3 is already running on Xbox. Quake 4 could as well.

 

[radrelic]

why?

competitive advantage?

 

[FightyF]

*LOL*

You can count the polys in the first screen.

I think that in motion it will look decent. Some shots are pretty bad, and some are pretty good (the one where the guys are in the hallway).

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

You have a set-up that can play it maxed out in the graphics department with still having it blast past 60 fps easily, but you play it like that? Geebus, what's your framerate, a bazillion?!

 

[Tain]

Hey now, framerates over the monitor's refresh rate DO feel different. Some argue it helps.

And I've never been so torn. It looks like shit, but I have an insanely strong feeling that this game will be amazingly well-done when it comes to multiplayer.

 

[Stryder]

Is that all it is? A feeling? Or is there something you have this based on? (interviews/footage/whatever).

To those wondering why people would reduce graphic settings to what was shown above, I used to play Q3 quite a bit as well and the game plays a lot better, or just feels more like a 'raw' arena with the graphics reduced to minimal settings like the screenie above, and it helps when the game is based a lot on reflexes.

Q4 just looks like it both appears and will play like garbage.

 

[bee]

competitive advantage?

ye kinda,i know im definetely not alone,i would say probably 90% of the quake scene plays quake 3 with very similar settings to those.it just makes it easier to see,less distractions.u turn on brightskins,make the walls look as bland as possible,way easier to see models from distance,turn off the smoke on rockets so that doesnt get in the way,turn off drawgun so that doesnt either,theres so many tweaks to it.all these graphics are only added so general/casual gamers will buy it,where as the quake community will just instantly turn it all down to the bare minimum.ye and none of us could care less about the single player either,its all about the multiplayer and the mods,bring on osp
