Quake 4 ?

Post by Lord-Bandu »

Since Quake 4 is a story based FPS Im thinking of getting it but Id like some peoples views on it 1st. Iv read reviews from IGN etc but I prefer reviews from people I know.

*smacks Bandu* :P :P :P

you knew that was coming :roll:

anyways, I've heard that its nothing 'new', and the game might be the same after about 10 minutes.

I'm not the big Quake fan :)

However, contrary to Quake III and its other "predecessors", Quake IV owns a Single-Player mode... According to the reviews I've got, the story isn't revolutionary, but you'll appreciate it for the power of its graphic engine...

if you want some serious MP Deathmatch action, then Quake IV is your best bet. Me and a few friends went down to a LAN parlor and played a few hours of DM, was pretty good, and very clan-friendly. Of course the biggest thing, will be the mod-maps :)
Although i don't have the game myself (dang PC), i would strongly recommend it

Metal ON

Talking of "mod-maps", do you know if Raven will release modding tools for Quake IV ?

looks likely since in the menu in the game there is a 'mods' section.

I'm with Guru...How can you beat the graphics of the original!?

Seriously though, the demo rocked. Every Quake game (except 3) has rocked.
