oh my :monocle:

Has a distinct Quake feel to it.

[Tequila]

That has Quake 3 vibes all over.

[Erratic]

The look of the weapons is nice. I can almost hear the "Whoosh" sound from the weapons changing. They whip in and out of the screen just like Q3.

[Evert]

Oh nice!

Would have liked to see some killing in there. This uses the Doom3 engine right?

They better have increased the max. players.

I'm sure they have Jynx - multiplayer was a tacked on part of Doom 3 but they are fairly pushing it in Quake 4.

Video looked good, and is certainly very reminiscent of Q3. I was always more of a UT fan myself but its nice to have a change The map looked pretty cool from a gameplay perspective, but architecturally it was rather bland. All the walls seemed flat with a texture planted on it. Admittedly it looked very smooth and streamlined to play - a very important thing in a fast DM map and it worked well in Q3 - but it wasn't exactly wow-ing visually.

Looks pretty nice

Im at quakecon right now and I played the mp demo. Nicely done. There is a very nice Quake III feel to it; like putting on a pair of old shoes. Its basically Quake III with different weapons and the Doom 3 engine. I dont know what the max players is caped at, but this one had about 10 people in it.

I can see this easily usurping quake III as the deathmatch game

I like how it looks. Very good lighting, and it has a very crisp and polished general look to it -- the weapons look fantastic.

one of my friends was in the top three players on the east coast for instagib.

Looks very cool to me, though the map on display did look a little orthogonal to me. A lot of people are bashing the look of Quake IV on forums I frequent, saying it looks too much like Q3. I say that some things are worth doing 'traditionally', and it looks pretty bloody good to me. Plus, that's only one snapshot of it, I'm sure there'll be innovations a-plenty in the right areas.

I'll be buying it anyway

Hmm it looks nice for sure, but from those vids i can't say it looks much more impressive than the old and outdated ut2k4, sure it has some nice technoligy but i can't see that much used in these vids.

I really hope q4 has some more diffrent styled enviroments like ut2k3/4 did. Otherwise it's not a game for me

[skdr]

Now that looks like Quake to me!

Boring environments, but I th ink thats just them attempting to make sure that people dont get caught on details and keep to the real q3 feel. Who knows.
