After long waiting of the fans of the series, Raven Software announces today that version PC of its play Quake IV will unload Europe before the exit of Xbox 360. The firm thus confirms that Quake IV will be available for the end of October 2005 on PC, whereas the version Xbox 360 should unload a few weeks later.

That's earlier than I thought. I am excited in the multiplayer part.

 

[Kolgar]

PC preorder got!

 

[fiddlestick]

pc version is the superior version.

quake 4 mp > god

 

[SantaC]

quake 4 mp > god

yeah honestly, I dont think I will bother with the sp at all. Multiplayer is where quake is baby!

 

[Teknopathetic]

Eh, I'll probably pick it up to tide me over to UT 2k7

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

Ohhhhh baby Quake is about to take over my life again.

 

[Daigoro]

Ohhhhh baby Quake is about to take over my life again.

word.

im sure ill be dipping into a little SP as well as mass quantities of MP.

 

[u_neek]

Quake IV will unload Europe

Noooooooooo...........

 

[Slo]

I'm going to have to hold off until I get a faster processor. This 2100+ just isn't cutting it anymore. :-(

They slowed Quake 4 down to make it more like Unreal, no sale for me.

Ewwwwwwwwww, why?

Bullshit. The Q4 movie that was shown a few days ago was faster than *any* previous game.

 

[flarkminator]

Ewwwwwwwwww, why?

They decided to make Quake 4 more TACTICAL. Yeah, what the fuck Indeed good sir, wtf indeed.

I watched those videos. Its not nearly as fast as QUake 3. I've been playing Quake 3 all week, you're welcome to disagree with me, I mean thats what this board is all about. But, that is NOT as fast as the game used to be.

I'm just really scared that they are going to change it. Count me as just really concerned for his favotire Fragging game =)

its a different game. Q3 was Q3, Q2 was Q2, etc.

when the demo comes out give it a good run. then make your decision.

Oooo trust me, my palms are sweaty with anticipation!!

EXCELLENT..*quivers* I can't wait to kill people..is that wrong?

 

[Tain]

I'm pumped.

Supposedly, it feels like CPMA.

POW.

Source? Or just personal opinion.

I call BS on your BS. I sincerely doubt that is true.

I watched one of the multiplayer videos and it looked comparable to Quake III, maybe slower. It's certainly not as fast as Quake 1 or, gods above, Doom.

 

[Daigoro]

Oooo trust me, my palms are sweaty with anticipation!!

now we're talkin.

say no sale after your 40+ hr demo marathon.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

When is the F'ning demo out?!

The Xbux Three $ixty version has fewer polygons than the PC version, according to Todd Hollingstead:

Another nice surprise is at Quakecon was that we got a quick one-level walkthrough of Quake 4 for the Xbox 360. Now, before we get into it, we need to point out that this is still relatively early in development. Hollenshead has said that the Xbox 360 version is using all of the same assets as the PC version, but running at a slightly lower poly count.

 

[flarkminator]

Mouse + Keyboard > Controller, and that is fact

Uh?:O They had to reduce polygons on 360 with a Doom3 derivative game??
And what will happen with 2007/2008 PC ports then?^^''

 

[Hooker]

Quake is a fucking twitchshooter... how the hell you you want to play a twitch shooter on a gamepad.






Of course the PC version will be better!!

 

[fiddlestick]

mouse + keyboard >>>> controller

 

[kenta]

You wanna fight about it?

 

[MmmBeef]

mouse + keyboard >>>> controller

This statement should be permanently emblazoned somewhere on the forum for posterity's sake. And for Great Truth and Justice™.

 

[fiddlestick]

You wanna fight about it?

sure..

squirtle i choose you!

"squirtle squirtle"

 

[bee]

the only reason quake 4 might look a little slow in the vid's released is cos its runnin at the stock 90 fov,go and play q3 on 90 fov then try 110 or something,huge difference,/cg_fov is the command.

 

[cyberheater]

mouse + keyboard >>>> controller

In that respect your right. But we don't know if the 360 version will or won't support mouse and keyboard although my gut says it won't which will be a shame.

I think the 360 version has got the chance to look and sound better though. Heres hoping.

 

[Kolgar]

I was at a club tonight and saw an acquaintance of mine who's working on Quake 4.

360 version's gonna be out later than the PC one, but then, you probably already knew that. Did I mention I was at a club? And drinking?

Anyway, Quake 4 am get!

I thought MS explicitly stated that KB/Mouse support would be absent for games?

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Yeah shitty framerates are glaringly obvious when you throw a mouse into the mix. This is probably why most consoles don't support them.

 

[JadedGamer]

Good, then I shall be enjoying the 360 version when it should come out in November or December(if there are delays)... the Xbox 1 Doom 3 expansion should hold me over till then.

 

[Dave Long]

They've said they're shooting for more of a Quake II feel so I wouldn't expect the game to be quite as fast as Quake III Arena. Nothing wrong with that. Quake II was hot stuff too.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

woow.. I never thought it was scheduled for this year !!!!

I hope it runs good on my PC

 

[Rlan]

I doubt it'll end up running on my computer, but once Rocket Arena 4 makes it's way through, I may have to upgrade

 

[Evenball]

One thing for sure, I will be all over a Q4 Jailbreak/POW mod. I'll even make some more maps for it like I did for the Quake 3 version.

 

[Borys]

*sigh* not another PC vs Xbox flamewar.

PC version for me, fo'sho!

 

[Daigoro]

no kidding.

there is no contest here.
