W3rd.

Now when the first shots and all came out, everyone was dissing it since it looked just like Doom3 but with slightly skinnier guns. Everyone except me, that is, as I was reading the words that accompanied the not-so-pretty pictures. Words like "future war", "fighting in a squad", "all out Strogg assault", "epic conflict". Words which conjured up an image of exactly what a Quake 2 remake should be - capturing, using modern technology, the essence of Q2's man Vs strogg battles. And thus, I was pretty excited.

Seeing the videos, new screenies and previews, I still am. They, albeit through the usually over-enthusiastic hype-ridden haze of marketing speak, are still saying the same thing, and it still sounds damn good to me. Of course, there's still a thousand things to go wrong, a thousand promises and features to drop. But even so, so far it looks like they are doing this game right, and doing it true to Quake 2. Hoorah for that.

Post angry refutations, accusations of fanboyisms, rants against Id, Raven, and indeed anyone who likes games, further screenshots, articles, whatever here =).


Oh, P.S. The logo blows. 999 things left to bugger up ;)

Well 
i liked the screens and the teaser. only thing i hope is that the sideckicks won't be as buggy as in daikatana. i just want them be like in hl2 or something so you can order them to stay and don't fight and do all the job myself.

and q2 had awesome industrial atmosphere, d3 engine just created for that. hope, q4 will make that smell with burned oil and blood even better. 
Ugh. 
The trailer makes me all excited in the been there done that a 1000 times way. It doesn't even LOOK visually impressive, let alone show interesting gameplay. 
Let�s See What Will Come Out... 
Doom3 was very disapointed to me...didn�t like the game much! Hl2 was a realy kick ass game, real fun with a great game play i�m still playing the single player and is real fun...let see if Q4 will be that fun or another crap like doom3...

Doom3 = dark and borred
Hl2 = fast, fun and very nice textured! 
Hey Jago... 
If you've played games that have single player squad/team combat with vehicles and stuff, in a sci-fi universe against biomechanoids with Doom3 quality graphics "a 1000 times" already, can you tell me what games, as I'd like to play shit like that.

I've seen loads of sci-fi games, loads of single player games, and loads of teamplay games, but not very many at all that combine the 3... 
Oh I Remembered One... 
Elite Force / 2. Done that already. Not exactly the same style though is it. 
Quake 4 E3 Trailer 
I was reading the words that accompanied the not-so-pretty pictures. Words like "future war"...

It's a Strogg conflict, did you think it was going to be medieval?

..."fighting in a squad"...

Yeah, I reckon it has that.

..."all out Strogg assault"...

Wait--you mean this isn't an all out Strogg teaparty?! Drat, now I'm all disappointed..

..."epic conflict".

"Epic" you say? All I've seen is the player and maybe one or two AI marines taking on one Strogg inside small enclosed spaces. Even the outside area was clearly enclosed and offered no sort of "epic" view of the world or area. This is not epic at all.

It still looks and plays and feels like Doom 3, but with a few AI marines thrown in the mix. (Keep in mind that lots of the Doom 3 monsters were also biomechanoids.)

It won't be a sequel to Quake 2 until it has bright orange lighting from the sky. 
BTW 
If the trailer you watch has blue blood, be advised you got one of the crap versions floating around. I know Gamespot for sure had the right and good version.
