NOwhere near enough polys on the legs of those things that are supposed to have skin held on by hooks.. not even bump mapping
 
Is it just me or does the PC version look better?? It looks way too much like Doom3 IMO I guess I'll play this on the PC
 
Pretty much what it looks on the Xbox 360 version too. Hands-on impressions with both versions here .
 
After MGS4, everyone is going to be really hard to please when it comes to next gen.
 
If I wanted nice graphics I would prefer Quake Wars to this, but as a deathmatch game my hopes lie with Q4. Besides none cares about graphics when they play those fps, it's all about fps.
 
Okay... so I'm taking it the story line of Quake 4 is they took over Mars where Doom 1 started.... and then started killing the marines just for fun?

While I agree, I think this was already looking miserable beforehand, and without even debating it's technical merit. It just flat out looks fucking retarded. Jesus christ, it's almost embarassing looking at these shots.

It's a sequel to Quake II. Mars/demons/etc. have nothing to do with it.

I hope Quake Wars holds up with all the outdoor areas because this game is making it look like developers using the engine should stick to indoor environments with nice lighting effects.
 
If the PC had the same amount of releases as a console gets these days, I wouldn't be so dissapointed by this. But as it is, it is very very sad that Raven is wasting their time making a game that looks almost exactly like doom 3.

I don't know, I mean there are plenty of X360 games that look pretty sweet. I'm just sick of the metallic, industrial, pale-faced design that seems to be permeating a lot of FPS games

Quake 4 comes out in a couple months, MGS4 comes who knows when. I would hope it looks better.

This way of thinking is dumb. Of course everything a year off from now will look better. When MGS4 comes out, there will be a movie of a next gen game thats will come out the next year that will blow it away. Jesus :)

Peace!!!!

As people have pointed out, there are games out this year in the same genre that look a lot better. You don't need to wait until 2007 when games like F.E.A.R. are going to be out in a matter of weeks.

While this is true, Quake 4 has never looked next gen anyway. You can't really get next gen off of a Direct X 7 engine in the first place, though.

Wow. You gotta be mega jaded to classify those pics as "bad". Seriously.

No, not really. The game looks like Doom 3 on steriods.

True, but he was referring to MGS4, so I went that direction. As others have said here, I'm looking forward to the gameplay. DOA looks better than Tekken, but it don't play better ;)

LAtes,

Is this supposed to be satire? because every new screenshot with the enemies in just makes me laugh. Maybe Raven are deliberately pointing out how stupid the enemies in Quake have always looked....i mean

I'm guessing the crotch plates are there due to a bathroom accident caused by that sword and ball combination the guy has for hands.
 
It's as though everything is coated in a thin layer of grease, much like your average food food employee.
 
Don't worry, I'm sure <INSERT JAPANESE SOFT COMPANY> will have a metrosexual-main-lead-carrying-a-giant-gaia-powered-broadsword title waiting in the wings just for you.
 
LOL GET THIS GAMEPLAY SCENARIO: What if in Quake 4 the whole planet is undergoing an earthquake, thus adding a new gameplay dimension SOMEHOW?!?!

Yeah, this was getting panned pretty badly even before MGS4. PC gamers were calling it ass, Console gamers were calling it ass. But in this new post-MGS4 world it is no longer merely ass, it is digital santorum.

That said Quake Wars looks totally hot.
 
How the hell is this running at 30fps? The xbox360 outperforms my computer EASILY and I can run Doom 3 at high res 60fps most of the time. That's absolutely pathetic that it's running at 30.
 
Honestly, it's only the aliens/borgs/whateverthefuckthoseare that stand out from the rest of the screens. If they didn't show those guys, I'd have much better things to say about the graphics.

Really? I dont think it looks like any sort of improvement on the D3 engine at all. Possibly a downgrade even after looking at the "skin" on the badguys.
 
it looks like they took they based the character designs off the doodles in the trapper keeper of some high school kid who listens to Lamb of God and Ministry and plays D&D.

That and the booming sound help cover the less than 60fps. framerate. Powerful as the new console is, this engine was conceived for PC and the target for the 360 version is a rock steady 30fps.

Damn.
 
Plastic, plastic, everywhere...

And we console developers are supposed to care what this guy has to say about console hardware and development?

Yeah it looks like shit compared to trailers of games that aren't coming out until 2007...

This game is going to be in stores in a couple of weeks.
