Quake4 Pics  by James W at 22:56

PC
Some naughty people have scanned some pages of the PC Zone preview of Quake4. With the multiplayer part of Doom3 largely being a disappointment, lets see how the game that is actually focused on fast multiplayer works out.

It's a military style shooter using the doom3 engine, so it's bound to have a similar look and feel, but I know what your'e saying.

Wow, Doom3 really sucked away any enthusiasm for new fps games, didn't it. Seems to me that we should wait and see what it's actually like, rather than judge it on some magazine scans. Unreal Tournament never really evolved much over the years, and yet it's still an extremely popular game. Just cos id ****ed up, doesn't necessarily mean Raven will.

I always try and do that really, hype really kills what are actually good games but can never live up to the hype. While ive never been a big DM/CTF fan Ive found the quake series quite enjoyable so hopefully this will be too.

I absolutley detested Quake2 mp. SO it's gotta be good news that the mp will be more akin to q3.

not quite sure how ID '****ed up'
they made an above average shooter with amazing visuals/atmosphere: you were expecting them to reinvent the wheel, when anyone could tell they were always going to make doom3 a tribute to the originals - ie dont expect anything other than relentless corridor shooting.

Hmm, doom1 and 2 were sbsolutley not 'relentless corridor shooting', most maps were mostly quite open with small interconnecting corridors, not the other way round like doom3.

'you were expecting them to reinvent the wheel'

I was expecting no such thing - my intention was to relay the feelings of those who do believe id ****ed up (I think the context makes that fairly, if not crystal, clear). The preview I did on Doom3 reports exactly what I expected from id, and they reflect what you say.
