 Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2005 6:28 am Post subject: Quake 4 preview |
 |
|
The Quake series is undoubtedly one of the most popular in the first-person-shooter (FPS) genre ever. The first iteration of the series is considered by many the father of multiplayer deathmatch also, so it's no surprise that as we get closer to the estimated release date, more people are speaking about Quake 4 and the game's potential.
During this year's E3, a lot of people waited in line to watch the Quake 4 demo that ended up being a live gameplay session conducted by some of Raven's designers and programmers. After having a closer look to the game, and a brief chat with one of Activision reps, we bring you our preview of Quake 4, so you can know a bit more of what to expect when the game is released by the end of this year (not official yet).
Read It All Here.

I hope there is a good multiplayer side to the game.

Does anyone have a count as to how many games were created using the Quake 3 engine?
There are so many great games out there that used the Quake 3 engine.
I'm positive this is going to be a strong game too and we will probably see the engine for years (although it is based off doom 3 anyways). The quake quality record is flawless so we will just have to wait and see.
The one thing that is holding me back is the fact that it is so simlar to Doom 3. Which didnt impress me much.  Good multiplayer is the only thing I hope for.

Yup not just multiplayer but multiplayer with bots. I'd also like to see these games with a co-op campaign. That is a multiplayer campaign same as the single player campaign but a co-op. I've never seen that yet in first person shooters.

They had that way back when Perfect Dark for the N64 was released. Halo had it too, if I remember correctly.

Halo never had the proper single player campaign as a multi player but Dungeon siege 2 has it. It's not quite perfect yet but at least the programmers are listening to what we want. In DS2 you can play the single player campaign as a multi player campaign. The exact same campaign. Thats way kewl
