Windows Quake 4 shots (and resident evil 4, for those who care)

http://gamesdomain.yahoo.com/feature/57067

Follow the link to the shots, i wont hotlink. Its like doom, but multiplayer *shock*

I love this bit:

Eh? There's a plot behind quake?? I thought it was just a name for a frag-fest

I hope they make it as fast as Quake 3. If its gonna end up like some many other multiplayer games with average weaponry and slow game play its gonna suck.


RE4:
As for this, i cant wait. Im tempted to order it from the US cause i cant wait till April for it to come out over here. It looks seriously sweet and a whole new angle on it - getting out of Racoon City is something ive been wanting for a while, even though playing through the whole lot recently and seeing the development of storyline and whole background of umbrella was really good but i really wanna see where this one goes.

 

It looks too Doom 3-ish to me...

 

No offence, but what did you expect??

On topic of Resident Evil again:

The lack of cinematic camera angles in exchange for 3rd person and non-autoaiming will make it less puzzle solving and more "shoot as much as you can to survive", which isnt what RE games really are. Itll definately be make or break from the mold to see if it works well and is genuinely scary whilst keeping the brain working with the puzzles.

Those are piss poor screenshots though, considering RE0 and the shots on the RE4 site look a lot better.

 

I 100% agree.

 

Well to tell the truth when you think about the technical side of RE0 and such its very UNimpressive, all the backgrounds are prerendered. It has great art, but the backgrounds are nothing but cleavrly made images, hence the frequent changes of camera angles. Now RE4 has completely 3D backgrounds that are rendered in real-time. Its probably one of the most impressive console games, graphics wise.

 

Very true, but even so it still looked superb. If you can get something to work on half the power that looks twice as good as before, isnt that worth doing? Having said that, the environment of RE4 should be more interactive (fingers crossed) and it should/could be more involving.

 

The way i understood it was quake 4 is meant to carry on after quake 2?

'doc

 

yeah i agree with what 'doc said but whats the point of quake4 when doom3 already had a multiplayer option(abit crap tho)????
id r gonna milk the money cow senseless this year i can expect.

 

And you wouldnt if you had spent the last 5 years developing the engine?

 

I think Q4 multiplayer will be about a million times better than doom III multi. They've been developing for 5 years, and judging by the last 3 it's gonna be pretty cool!
