in response to roadrunnner 12.
The problem is that niether Doom 3 or Quake 4 have any appeal once you get past the initial wow factor of the graphics. Having said that, if you strip away all the shadowing and lighting and actually look at the levels, what you're left with is a pretty ugly and undetailed game.
thats like saying 'the mona lisa is actually crap' if you take away the part inwhich it's design is appraised for, i.e the PAINT and leave the fucking frame, its just not that good when you view it like that.
'So why then, when I shine my torch at the corner of a wall' - in accordance with the massive perforamce games you get when enabling normal shadows on and off, can your 'mind' imagine the level of hardware needed to generate such detail. John Carmack is a genius with alot of vision; and although not the perfect creator everyone wants him to be, most likely can get ahead of himself with predicting the capabilites of future hardware in combination with his 'visions'.
HMMM i smell spite and contradiction:
'It wouldn't be so bad if the game wasn't so fucking dark all the time'
'It's like Doom 3 with more baddies to shoot but lacking the atmosphere which was, to my MIND, then ONLY thing that made Doom 3 anywhere near playable'
So, you enjoy the darkness and hate it at the time; inconsistencies and contradicitons.
When i was a youngin' (mind you only 20 now hehe) nothing more was to satisfy than to get my p200 and crank a bit of quake1, quake 2 etc. this is a continuination of a story line (perhaps your experience is lacking). and a fine effort at that. the level of macabre and gore is unprecedented. i think Raven and ID had some BALLS when it came to inserting the strogg medical process cut scene; i for one am not showing my mother.
inconclusion; every one seems to be looking for some innovative amazing ball breaking shooter.
i beleive insofar as the quake series goes, it is one (which is what WE should of been expecting). If you want something amazing why don't you go do few programming courses and put your energy in creating something incredible, for which you obviously crave, if you want something new, why are you looking at the 4th installment of something created years ago.
No offence intended at all; i just think ID sometimes suffers from being expected of way to much. and for a company that has bassically made FPS's dominate the PC i think they deserve more CREDIT for Quake 4 which is fucking awesome.

'Thats what I said a week ago or so, before this pile of shit was released and some kids flamed me, hahah ... how predictable.

look at the way you write mate; all negativity with no substance. 'some kids a reflection of your
mind state ey?'
don't you find FEAR a bit CHEESY MATE? Jokes Jokes. i enjoy both Q4 and Fear for the different things they are both aiming for.

It wouldn't be so bad if the game wasn't so fucking dark all the time.

I remember playing Quake 2 and it was brightly lit and (for it's day) graphically pleasing. This seems to be using the darkness simply to hide shitty texturing.
When will ID (or Raven for that matter) realise that graphics and sound alone don't make a game fun to play? It's the combination of these things coupled with the most important factor that seems to have been forgotten in their trying to impress: GAMEPLAY. Both Doom 3 and Quake 4 have a severe lack of it. If you're looking for something that's fun to play, graphically pleasing and has decent gameplay, I'd stick to playing F.E.A.R.
One final point I'll make before I shut up is that there still doesn't seem to be any attempt an innovation going on here. It's still the same formula as the original games, just with a new graphics engine. Small tip for games designers: it's 10 years later guys, and things have moved on! Take a look at UT2004 (for a multiplayer comparision) and F.E.A.R. (for a single player comparison) and you'll see what I mean. These games are packed with features other than the standard run, shoot, heal shit you get with Quake and Doom these days.
Rant over.
Anyone else care to post a proper review or shall we just go back to bitching about the protection? |
1.) Its called the BRIGHTNESS SETTING, if you do not like the dark because it makes you want to piss yourself, use it.
2.) If you have a graphics card with 512mb of video ram, then you are able to use the highest quality textures. Which I might add, look much better then half life 2's.
3.) Please do not make me whip out my signature on you.
4.) You expect WAY to much from games. Not to mention the fact that Quake 4 was not hyped by iD, raven, or activision AT ALL, yet you clame it was an overhyped PoS. Yeah, Ok.
5.) Yeah, its 10 years later. They made quake 2 but with /really/ good graphics. I'm sorry, are you saying thats a bad thing?

Son, I dont find FEAR cheesy one bit, if anything its original and one of the best FPS that I ever played, and I played every single one of them .... I personally love the movie the ring and seeing alma in FEAR is just great, I love the story, I love the end of the game and I love this whole game, it kept me on the edge, it was intresting, and I didnt find it repetative at all, maybe here and there but nothing huge.
The setting, gameplay, sound and graphics are great in FEAR, and performance is also excellent, without a doubt this should win game of the year award, even tho I also totally dig san andreas and few other titles.
Not only that I already finished this game, and Im replaying it on extreme settings.
Q4 is nothing more then Doom 3, minues the monsters and the creepy settings, wow ... how impressive, been there done that 100 times.

I like Quake 4 better than Doom 3 or F.E.A.R. First FEAR is not even scary, that walking ghost cannot hurt you. Enemies pop out in pack, easy to kill them when they are in pack. You can sneak out on enemies in FEAR. The linear level design is boring. Too much repetitive used of hallways. You are stuck most of the time in building. Now in Quake 4, the action is faster than FEAR and Doom 3. You get to have people follow you, drive tank, kill giant spider robot, get on a mech, better weapons than in FEAR, which have limited weapons. Doom 3 is boring because it is slow pace and repetitive.
If you hate it, ignore it.

Edited: Think i'll use the nifty spoiler tags on this one. expand the post if you wanna see my inane bitching.
 Spoiler: |
Well quake4 was a blast pre-strogg. It felt like I was really perticipating in a front lines attack, and featured all the squad action that made halo 1 and 2 and half life 2 fun. The sights wernt bad as well.
Then you become strogg, and so far it's a straight drop to the bottem from here.
First of all, you pretty much don't squad up again, you are seperated from your men for the most part. Infact the 2 people you meet up with, a medic and an engineer, both die in a script before you can even use them. Second, YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE! The factory.. the waste refinery, holy shit, it all looks exactly like it did in quake2 even. I mean jesus christ, why are we allways trapsing through the bowls of a city? When i want memories of my trip to stroggvile, I want it in technological fortresses with unseen horrers, not knee deep in garbage that looks the same as everyone elses garbage. Human, strogg, it's all brown on the floor.
Also the game really likes to exploit it's short comings. First of all, why is it so hard to make sure peoples heads are turned the right way? And the strogg sequence, ok it kinda grossed me out, but it also looked stupid as hell. The first thing they do is stab you in the heart, so some how you live through this whole ordeal with a gaping hole in your chest. Then it literally stabs your head with a thick stick, supposedly inserting an implant, but it does it with no percision, it just stabs your violently. All this happening to your default low resolution polygon model wich leaves alot to the imagination. And while the games live actors do an ok job of tracking their head to you, most NPCs who talk to eachother in a scripted sequence do NOT, makes you wonder if your in the army or a nut house.
Then theres the "stupid encounters I wouldn't do but can't stop". To many times I catch my squad mates pulling a suicide move, running point into a place I know will be a trap. Infact at one point, one of my squad points holds me back while an NPC on point goes into the next room. What should have been a scripted scene to invoke horrer actually just makes you curse "aww crap im gonna lose a guy" before the scene finishes.
Another for the garbage bin. I'm not even remotly interested in the multi player, IMO anyone who dosn't match what UT offers won't get my online time. |

fair call. i agree the scripting does draw back a bit and i did find myself running between three men unable to find which was speaking LMAO off @ nut house comment!
in response to your 'oh its so much like quake 2' let me say one thing, if you had what YOU considered to a brilliant idea for an alien vs human escapade, yet only back the day had access to limited technology (i.e the result: quake2) and still managed to sell a million copies; perhaps you might consider a re-releasing to a new generation with an engine much more capable of dilvering your idea!

I kinda like q4 more than fear. first of all q4 looks good and doesnt need such a high end computer to look good, when fear is like very laggy. FEAR was boring and repitive, like all offices looked the same, but the AI was good, maybe they could make a game where it is outdoors with that AI, that would be freaking sweet. q4 is fast pased and squad fighting is awsome, too bad you dont fight with the squad so much.

Only noobs can like quake4 its freaking moronish bullshit, one more proof to CONSOLE RELEASE KILLED ONCE GREAT GAME. Single player adapted to console multiplayer repeats original quake 4 just to give console morons idea of how original quake is like, weapons and models are low poligons and size so console can handle it, hate this cross platform releases ffs.
Never liked or waited for quake 4 anyway so not much disapointed.

And calling people noobs because of their test in games isnt moronic? I hate console games, mainly because i hate those controlers, but i do like very fast paced games with lots of blood and gore, if i wanted more strategic shooters i'd play BIA

Maybe it's just me, but, in this day and age, I DO expect something innovative and ball-breaking from shoot 'em ups.
Of course we expect a lot from ID software. They pioneered the entire genre and their first 3 games were each a massive improvement on the last in every way. Take a look at the difference between Wolfenstien 3D and Doom. Or Doom and Quake. Changes in gameplay between engines have become less and less the norm with ID as years have gone by and much more time has been given over to graphics and sound, with graphics ultimately becoming the be all and end all. With game engines like Unreal, Source, and whatever it is that drives F.E.A.R. rapidly becoming the standard, this attitude really isn't competetive enough to hold my attention for long.
Remember the hype that Carmack piled on the Doom 3 engine before it's release? Are you urprised I ws expecting something special? Fair enough, he can do stuff with game programming that most of us can't even dream of and maybe he was a genius once, but now I think he's become too full of himself and is trying to impress with his graphics prowess way too much. He said it himself in an interview a few years ago that he's more interested in Armadillo Aerospace than games these days and won't be doing game engines for much longer (I believe he said one more after the Doom 3 engine.)
Re-reading the section I wrote about lighting, I can see how you thought it was contradictory but I simply meant that the darkness had a place in Doom because it was a part of the scary atmosphere (not that it constiuted it in itself, mind you, it was a combination of things.) That same atmosphere seems to be missing from Quake 4 and hence, the darkness is just annoying.
As for the shadowing, it doesn't take that much to produce decent, realistic looking shadows. Take a look at the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 20 minute gameplay trailer if you want to see what can be done with modern hardware. You'll have to turn the brightness up a bit as the encoding's a bit dark:
http://files.filefront.com/TES+4+++Oblivion+Preview/;4222391;/fileinfo.html
The shadows in Doom 3/Quake 4 are still all one shade: black. This was recognised as a problem with the engine even before Doom 3 was released and still hasn't been sorted in Quake 4. They could have at least managed soft shadows and sorted the self shadowing issue (they're not enabled by default, but you can turn them on in the config file and they look really, really bad, which is why they're off by default.)
Ultimatly it's all about balance: impressive graphics and sound held together by solid gameplay. Without the gameplay, the other two fail to produce a good game in my opinion. Perhaps I am being negative, but it's the way I feel about this game.

1.) I shouldn't have to use the brightness setting to be able to SEE WHAT I'M DOING. If you turn the gamma up so you can actually see properly then the other colours simply become washed out and black turns to grey. The point is that there's way too much black hiding rubbish textures.
2.) Don't be silly. Even on maximum detail there's no actual detail there when you get close up, the textures just become a messy blur. As far back as the first Unreal engine, other game engines (including the Source and F.E.A.R. engines) have employed a second layer of textures (detail texturing) that only become apparent when you get up close as it's not rendered at distance. Hence, when you approach a wooden surface close up, you can begin to see grain or when you get close to a painted wall, you can actually see the brush strokes. This has not been employed in any of ID Software's engines so far.
3.) GAME = Combination of graphics, sound and, most importantly: GAMEPLAY.
4.) I never said Quake 4 was hyped by ID or Raven. I was referring to people on forums and people I know who were expecting the game to be something better than it was and were disappointed. I DID say the ENGINE was hyped by ID which, originally, it was.
5.) Yep, it's 10 years later so why haven't they come up with anything new? The same thing with better graphics? Come on. Games companies can do much better than this if they simply put their minds to it. Take a look at the games I mentioned in other posts.

I can't understand why so many people love F.E.A.R.,it's totally not innovative IMO,the little freaky girl=ring,all the other shooter elements are from other games,bullettime=overdone,guns are not new(except for the hyper beam toasting sniping canon),the sounds are mediocre,the A.I. is good,but the rooms are bad to show off the A.I.
