Quake 4, what you think

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2005/05/13/quake4_launch_details/

Many say Quake 2 was the best (I agree, I even have it on my Ipaq), but then Quake 3 was a very successful game too. Which Quake was the best? Will quake 4 be able to overcome the curse of Doom 3 engine and support gamers with weapons that would renew the great battle of multiplayer FPS's?

 

Never really played the others, but Q4 looks VERY promising. Doom 3 engine + lighting - crap storyline = good game. I just hope it's not excessively taxing on my system

 

Quake one was the best imo, after that it just went slowly downhill. Couldn't stand Quake 3.

 

I thought Quake and Quake 2 were at about the same level. Quake 3 was just horrible though.

 

Some of you people amaze me - you expect quake to have a storyline? Ill admit i rolled into quake at #3 so never played Quake 1 or 2 or the original UT (do i have authority to comment then?) but pre-131 patch Q3A was good multiplayer.

 

You can't deny that quake 3 was really popular. Although I prefered UT over it.

 

Quake is the best one for me, most probably because I played it the most.

I did not like Quake 2 at all and I have still not even finished the single player missions, and I hated some aspects of multiplayer with it.

Quake 3 was pretty good, almost as good as Quake, I did enjoy Q3 quite a bit.

I am looking forward to Quake 4 though

 

It looks like doom3 with new models

 

I played quake 3 for about 3 years, weren't very good at it but enjoyed it. I was such a noob I played quake 1 & 2 with keys only.

 

Then you obviously haven't seen or read anything about it

 

quite looking forward to quake 4
getting sick of all the multiplayer only games around, theyre all the same to me

hopefully its a game first rather than a technology showcase first, game second a la doom 3
im hoping that they realise that it really needs to be more than: enter room, kill things, repeat

 

Quake 3 was pretty ok i thought. 4 looks pretty fine

 

I saw a few pics and the one on bit-tech looked pretty doom-esque. Donno I'll see if it's good when it releases and a mate buys it.

 

I didn't like Quake 1, I was a Duke Nukem kid. Loved Quake 2 though, and Quake 3 is still, imho, the best fps multiplayer game on a PC.

I can't wait for Quake 4.

 

My only problem is that the Doom3 engine was more of a visual style, it looks great, but how good of a physics engine it will be is still to be determined, as Doom3 didn't really utilize it to its full.

 

It looks promising as hell, but I think I'll still be a HL junkie.

 

it was all about the gnerations

for the first generation of quake, it was outdone by duke 3d tbh...

quake 2 was the best damn game ever

quake 3 was DIFFERENT. nothing like quake 2, they are not comparible at all. they are just different games.

and whoever said cant expect quake to have a storyline... the reason the older people hated q3a was because it ****ed up the games which had a storyline to them

try playing quake2 and it has a really interesting (if a bit minimalistic) progression to it which i found very orthodox (sp?)

and in my opinion quake2 had the best multiplayer weapons weighting any game has had ever, and thats a pretty big thing to have

 

I allways felt like the weapons in Q2 were a bit too powerfull, but I still had the best fun at lans playing Q2, more than any other game.

I was much better at Q3, but I didnt enjoy it as much (prefered unrealtourney)

I liked Doom3 as a single player game, good to play with the lights off on a dark night.

 

Spot on

I was far too distracted for a few years to care about any other game due to Duke3d, by the time I was bored of that Quake2 was just coming out, utterly fantastic game - still is.

 

For me the cycle was Doom, Quake 2, Half-Life, Unreal Tournament, then Doom 3. I have played Quake 3 a little, but never liked it as much as Quake 2. I like single player mode a lot. =)
