I can imagine the stern voice on a documentary talking about the explosive destructive capabilities of a thermal-nuclear mortar if it were detonated in a city of 3 million people while the clip shows artillery firing missiles into a crowded city, then when the huge mushroom cloud blooms there's dog-toy squeaky sounds.

Nuclear Videos

yeah I hate those fake sounds. Well, what can one expect...

There is also a time gap in the nuclear cannon video, at least the one I have.
Funny how you can see the sounding rocket contrails in the light of the explosion.

Could Just Be Those Pics

Awww, come on, you know you missed me. Ok, not you (you know who you are).

But seriously, any new maps out there that I should get? Consider me 7 months out of the loop.

Yah

#9104 posted by gone on 2005/10/17 06:50:56

too boxy, somewhat UT-ish (weaps and lowpoly maps with ramps)
and I dont like the texture choice (esp color)

so far q4 looks disappointing, but I will try it anyway

Q4 DM

#9105 posted by R.P.G. on 2005/10/17 09:34:39

Those shots look like low-poly uninspired versions of HH3 maps.

Ramps?

#9106 posted by Lunaran on 2005/10/17 09:35:02

RAMPS?!

You can't be serious.

Q4 has SO many bugs... its shit. for instance, no bunnyhopping -- wtf? thanks lun ;o

#9108 posted by inertia on 2005/10/17 17:50:39

I'd order it straight from australia if I had a comp that would run it...

#9110 posted by inertia on 2005/10/18 05:03:12

but, yahoo kind of has buggy stuff that sometimes crashes my browser -- we shall see.

Scampie probably has a lot on his plate (I just hope it isnt any problems backhome as New England is getting drenched at this time) so, I'm going to go ahead and put a link up for my speed map for the sm107 cramped theme event. If anyone else participated wants there map up as well just e-mail me alanr643_at_msn.com. My site is craptastic, but for a small community it should not be a problem.

BuildTime 4 hours -- two of which dealt with a stupid bug.

is that ANOTHER version of 'The Edge' in those Q4 screenshots?

Jesus.

Problem with the silver key door but no problem because there is a handy clipping error nearby ;-)

Clipping Problem, Dang

#9116 posted by HeadThump on 2005/10/18 16:16:28

Wow. Another miss for me. The silver key icon is a button that triggers the door. Thanks for giving it a spin.

#9117 posted by gone on 2005/10/19 02:36:43

yeah, q4 has edge(ish) and q3dm17(ish)

Edge is good map, beaten to death, but still

Quake 4

#9119 posted by thaninjapan on 2005/10/19 05:21:55

So, is it any good?

Can't say I've been literally sat in a puddle of my own piss whilst waiting for it, but the reviews/comments are starting to come in, and after ignoring all the trolling and reviews by idiots (PC Gamer) it sounds promising.

The comments on Bluesnews seem fairly reasonable. I like what I'm hearing about the impression that there is a war going on. As long as it's not a really fake impression of a war that dissipates after 5 minutes of play when you realise the AI is shit, and that all your squadmates are blundering idiots you can safely label as cannon fodder, and that only you can really make a difference to the outcome of the game... (sorry, couldn't help it after I played the CoD2 demo recently).

No idea when/if I'll be able to pick up a copy of Q4 here in Japan, and as PC games seem to be kinda expensive, not sure if I will.

Anyway, hurry up and post your verdicts, because I am eager to hear what people think about it.

I am especially keen to hear what you Raven guys think of it. I don't care if your opinions are biased, I just want to know which aspects of the game you are most fond of.

Lun, did you do MP or SP stuff?

Quake 4

#9120 posted by Tron on 2005/10/19 05:47:20

Too busy playing the thing to comment fully right now, but lots of Strogg attacking you at once = good.

Looks better than the screenshots do it justice, but that's the d3 engine for you.

Runs a lot more slowly than d3 though, a quick r_showlightcount reveals why. Nicely bright lit environments but at a cost. :)

Truly LOL inducing.

Lmao

#9122 posted by necros on 2005/10/19 09:46:59

Runs a lot more slowly than d3 though

i got 20~fps in d3, so i should get, what, 5 now?
