Eh.

 

[Slo]

Eh is right. I don't like the tiny little corridors. I thought Quake 4 was supposed to be a more "epic" shooter than Doom?

 

[jett]

Looks like a Doom expansion pack.

 

[Mama Smurf]

You know my favourite thing about the plastic look?

....

Well, let me know if you can think of anything.

 

[EekTheKat]

The two soldiers being in the same pic makes me think they're going to go with the AI co-op buddy route. It remains to be seen how many doorways the AI marines will block you out of though.

Now if they can pull off multiplayer coop, that would raise interest in this game quite a bit for me.

 

[goodcow]

Horrid art design.

 

[BenT]

Oh crap, I kinda forgot it wasn't multi-only like Quake III.

Blah.

 

[Sander]

Looks like a Doom expansion pack.

Only worse. Looks like it's not using the engine's unified lighting system?

 

[Guns N' Poops]

Damn, that Doom 3 mod looks really ugly and uninspired...oh wait.

 

[Vieo]

The plastic look is teh wave of teh future!!!


I doubt that's QuakeIV though. When I saw the concept art, they had this huge humanoid, half-snake, half-sob looking thing with a gun chasing down a smaller guy. This leads me to think that in QuakeIV, some of the player models will be huge allowing for a smaller guy to escape down a smaller corridor where the larger guy can't follow.

 

[MrPing1000]

i can't see shit cept for plastic models

 

[DarkScorpion]

It's like DOOM....

....but not.

 

[BuddyC]

Whee, it's Doom 3!

 

[Forsete]

So how many players can this game support? 6 people max?

 

[tahrikmili]

I like.

But then, I liked Doom 3..

They will go this route (read this in an article in a PC magazine), they said you'll lead a few soldiers through an alien ship or something like this.

 

[BuddyC]

It's like playing with action figures!

And action figures rock!

 

[tahrikmili]

??? Those are Dune action figures?

 

[teepo]

old screenshots made new.

 

[MrPing1000]

??? Those are Dune action figures?

obviously

 

[Great Wasabi Man]

I don't cae if it looks plastic as long as it's as fun as Q2 Mulitplayer was...or at least Q3.

 

[FriScho]

were are the shadows of the characters on the ground?
This looks like plastic toys for kids - lame

 

[Redbeard]

Talk about plastic

 

[belgurdo]

Horrid art design.

Normally, this is where I chime in with a pithy statement/generalization about Japanophilia with a cute picture of an animu girl at the bottom, but this time I actually agree. This game looks really fucking generic-or more specifically, it looks like a Doom 3 mod

 

[Phoenix]

Annoyingly boring shots.

 

[Vibri]

Holy fucking shit, developers. Do you dream or anything other than dark alien corridors and men with guns? GROW THE FUCK UP.

 

[belgurdo]

Post of the day here, especially considering I had this exact same thought years ago. Post-apocolyptica, wars, and medieval times- why can't PC developers use other settings for their games?

 

[Ferrarisimo]

Those are the same screenshots that were in the CGW (or whatever mag) issue that "debuted" the story. The second pic is classic because the soldier on the right likes to play pretend he's got a gun.

 

[SantaC]

So true. Art is crap.

 

[Tain]

Raven insists that they're trying to re-make Quake 3 on the Doom 3 engine for this game's multiplayer.

That's like Midway trying to re-create Third Strike.

 

[bigNman]

The textures look sharper than Doom3.

 

[COCKLES]

I wish developers would start using extra power to create better AI / more enemies ect, rather then better graphics 'n shadows with only 1 or two enmies on screen at one time. Nothing in those shots I haven't already seen in Riddick.

 

[Nerevar]

Wait, is that an in-game shot or a couple of action figures posed in a dark room? I'm serious, I can't tell.

 

[Chony]

Holy fucking shit, developers. Do you dream or anything other than dark alien corridors and men with guns? GROW THE FUCK UP.

That's why the first Unreal rocked so much. Beautiful worlds, gore, big guns, a lot of fun.

 

[tedtropy]

Hmm...maybe they just all have really, really greasy skin. And man, they need to prove that the Doom 3 engine can do things other than make games that look exactly like Doom 3...or can it? And the model in that first Q4 screenshot is looking mighty angular...

 

[Kai Dracon]

Holy fucking shit, developers. Do you dream or anything other than dark alien corridors and men with guns? GROW THE FUCK UP.

James Cameron's Aliens should be banned in any form - VHS, Laserdisc, DVD - from entering the building of ANY Western videogame developer.

 

[Eric-GCA]

A lot of developers do seem to be creatively Bankrupt these days.

Its partly laziness I think, rather than spend time making nice textures, they're just adding shiny bumpmaps to their models.

 

[XS+]

Looks terrible. So dated and hackneyed. Doom 3 was the biggest disappointment of the past decade.

 

[Drinky Crow]

BUMP MAPPED NIPPLES PLZ STOP NOW

 

[tahrikmili]

Someone on another forum noted that, in the second screenshot, the guy on the right is the marine from Doom 3.. I can't tell if it's him, but it looks awfully close.

 

[madara]

I'm not even remotely burned out on medieval fantasy stuff because one has yet even use dragons, elves, dwarfs, etc in epic way like shannara or lotr. Nowdays hardly any game even uses it without alot scifi mixed in. But the apocolyptic stuff is mega old I have to agree with that.

 

[nightez]

Still low poly

 

[Yusaku]

I don't know what that is, but it's not Quake.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

ugly

 

[teiresias]

And this is a surprise to people? I mean, some of us have been saying for years that Carmack can code engines like a mofo, but he can't make an actual game or game art to save his life. The past couple projects he apparently hasn't even been able to hire people that actually can make games (or art) to save his life either.

I never understood the uproar over the Doom3 engine anyway. The new Unreal engine looks much more organic, of course it's not out yet, but still.

 

[Chittagong]

It'd be funny if the game got reworked / canceled / infinitely postponed due to bad community feedback.

 

[Sander]

Q4 is handled by Raven, not Carmack & co.

 

[Kon Tiki]

No brown? It is not Quake without tons of brown.

 

[marsomega]

Any chance they confused it for the Doom 3 expansion?

Annoyingly boring shots.

how can you say that...



TEH TITTY ACTION!

Tee heee

"Post of the day here, especially considering I had this exact same thought years ago. Post-apocolyptica, wars, and medieval times- why can't PC developers use other settings for their games?"

PC games don't generally sell that well, and those that do try to differ from the norm usually end up selling even worse. Example: Death of Graphic Adventures, although, that could be argued to be a problem with the genre itself.
