Why Quake 4 rocks so hard

I'll be happy If I can achieve 20fps.

Its weird thats there are no bots as they obviously had to create some kind of AI for singleplayer (same with Doom3); I don't know how all that works but couldn't they have just have added it to the multiplayer?
It doesn't matter though. Looking at those screenshots, I know Quake 4 will rule.

SP AI and MP AI is completely different.

Sandstorm looks like a map for winners

Post by **-mess-** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 2:46 pm

is there anything like "timedemo" or smth?
could you benchmark game with:
1024/full (dunno about fsaa and anizo, or soft shadows)
and 800x600 + low?

and give us more shots of mp maps pls

Buy it you fag!

We're not talking some shit box film or something you downloaded off the internet, we're talking ID's much loved and anticipated sequel, QUAKE 4.

There is some MP footage (well, not so much "proper" mp footage as it is "one dude running around a couple of maps recording a demo"--but they are maps we haven't shown to the public before, so it's something new to see) available here:

If anybody can mirror these, it would be appreciated--I'm sure the intarweb will find out about these and this guy's server will melt by lunchtime.

can someone edit that cfg post, its fucking up the whole thread.

Post by **DooMer** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 3:53 pm

The physics are like vq3, but with the addition of ramp jumping, it feels a little bit more floaty.

Post by **Iccy (temp)** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 3:55 pm

Well i just watched the videos and only one thing comes to me.

My baby is back

*edit*
