Looks pretty damn good.

If anybody doesn't know... Raven made the game under the supervision of Id using the doom3 engine. Raven has used the quake3 engine before to make the soldier of fortune series games and... I forget what else. I did find out, though, that this game won't have the soldier of fortune II style gibbing :(

Yep, the ID guys were saying Raven did a kickass job and believe it or not they might be giving them the next Doom!

So, anyone but me have this yet?

I bought it last night

I've been pretty busy so I haven't actually got it yet. I was going to buy it today but didn't. I'm either going to get it tomorrow or monday

A friend of mine just gave me Quake, Quake II, and Quake Arena...I really haven't played any of them before. Does 4 hold up to the series? I heard it wasn't so hot. Can it compete with UT2004 and Halo?



toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Oct 21,2005 11:03pm
Anything can compete with UT2004 and Halo.



toggletoggle post by DrinkHardThrashHard  at Oct 21,2005 11:07pm
I disagree, I have never had more fun on a FPS at LANs than with UT, and the weapons are very balanced (something I heard is not the case with Quake, but I'll find out for myself soon). Not to mention the sick mods for UT like Alien Swarm, etc.

Halo is overrated though. You got me there.



toggletoggle post by Slasher   at Oct 22,2005 11:10am
UT will -always- be quake's bitch ;/



toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Oct 22,2005 3:01pm
Only for homosexuals! Oh, snap!

No, clearly it's a matter of preference. I'd take q3a over UT to the grave, but others prefer UT.

Also, for the record, I did have a lot of fun with the original UT. I thought UT2003 and UT2004 were ridiculously horrible though. I don't know how they did it, but they (in my opinion) actually managed to make the graphics look worse than circa 1999 quake3.



toggletoggle post by DrinkHardThrashHard  at Oct 22,2005 7:04pm
When I get the chance I'm gonna load up Quake3 and see what the hype is all about.

I greatly prefer UT2004 over UT2003, I actually like the graphics but they are not exactly cutting edge. I also like the price point. UT2004 was $20 on release, most of the other big shooters are $50 (or more, HL2 released at $55).



toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Oct 22,2005 7:13pm
It might not be so impressive by today's standards, but for its time I think it was pretty damn good. Awesome graphics (for the time), great engine, fluid controls and movement, easy and versatile console. There's endless tweaking without having to know anything about modding or mapping. The feel of id engines are just great in my opinion. The looks and movement/controls just feel good.

I think I'd give the Farcry engine the award for worst feeling engine ever. Everything about the gameplay in that game was horrible. I couldn't even stand to play it with cheats enabled.



toggletoggle post by DreamingInExile   at Oct 27,2005 1:01pm
Scott, we should play some UT 2k4 sometime! I still play alot (typically InstaGIB CTF, but I'm game for anything really)

HL2 was great, especially since I got it free with my vid card. I still play Quake 3 Arena alot, it's much better with some of the mods: Urban Terror, OSP, InstaGIB.

I'm all about First Person Shooters (and Guild Wars lol) we should have a RTTP LAN Party if we could decide on a game...



toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Oct 27,2005 1:19pm
LAN parties must rule.

And I'm still waiting to get Quake4. I think I'm aiming for a Tuesday full of Quake4 haha.

quake 4 is awsome, I love it. they need to bring InstaGIB back though, because rocket launchers are stupid...

code:


$you = $_GET['weapon'];

if($you == "RocketLauncher")
{
$iAm = "tehGhey";
}
elseif($you != "RocketLauncher")
{
$iAm = "aBetterPlayer";
}

I'm sure it'll be around soon. I wonder how all the q3a modders like the doom3 engine. It's pretty much just the q3a engine anyway.

haha, I figured OSP and instagib would be the first things out.

EDIT: I just went looking for the OSP site and it's down...

I finally bought this yesterday. I plan to play it tomorrow.



toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Oct 30,2005 12:55pm
Playing.
Single Player is cool. Nothing ridiculously fantasic. But decent and fun so far.
Multiplayer is disappointing.
I'm also clocking the playing time.



toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Nov 6,2005 4:51pm
Just finished. Total gametime = 8 hours. meh. I'll replay it again and maybe do some tweaking.

I think I clocked doom3 at around 22 and HL2 at 18.

so after having DOOM 3 for a year and having not beat the damn game, I finally got my ass in gear on friday and played it all day and I'm now halfway through Caverns 1, which then leaves Caverns 2 and The final level after that. I also went out and bought the Quake IV dvd pack and put it next to my lcd for motivation to beat Doom 3, I'm not allowed to install it until I finish it. I should be done D3 on wed night.

After looking at the Quake IV screenshots I can't wait, especially multiplayer!



toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Nov 15,2005 11:12am
The only thing I know about the Quake IV multiplayer is that it feels a lot different and that the q3dm17 remake looks worse than the original :(

I did start replaying quake4 a few nights ago though.



toggletoggle post by RustedAngel at Nov 16,2005 10:39pm
QUAKE 4 RULES.

I FINALLY BEAT DOOM 3 AND INSTALLED IT. I FIRED UP MULTIPLAYER 1ST AND I'M DAMN IMPRESSED. INSTAGIB TIME!

so I bought my friends Leadtek A400, Nvidia 6800 GT for $200 (he paid $300 a few months ago when it was new) which is one of the fastest remaining AGP cards you can get aside from the ultra. I'm letting him use my old Radeon 9800 pro until he can afford a newer pci-x system.

So far this thing rules and performancewise it's about 2x better than my 9800 . I can't MAX everything out @ 1600 x 1200 with anti aliasing in quake 4 or doom 3 but I can definitely be comfortable maxed out at 1024x768 but fps does drop during heavy battle. I think this thing should easily last me until next summer when the new pentium chips come out.


here's some pictures of it, the heatsink is huge and takes up 2 pci slots, my friend actually took of the grey cover and stock fan and put a cpu fan on it instead and it cools it much better. I guess dust builds up over the screen really quick too.






toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Dec 6,2005 12:25pm
The 6800GT definately is awesome. Mine's starting to show its age, though, in Call of Duty 2. I'm playing with all the settings maxed out, excluding 1024x768, 0xFSAA, and whatever the default AF is. The card's having a little trouble keeping the framerate about 30.
