Why Quake 4 rocks so hard

I play with g_fov 110 and ui_showgun 0 and all is well

Yeah like i said, you cant compensate for that really, not with the old old method the engine uses. TBH I got used to riddick/fear types, where your just a camera at X point on the body, so your view weapon is still detailed but you can see your legs. FOV doesn't matter so much then, but its a bitch to optimize i guess.

Cant stand the new railgun look. Its like... Well... Something copied from the UT2k7 pics

Plus its ULTRA shiney and blurey...

The SP strogg RG effect also owns the MP ones

A lot of the weaponry does bear a striking similarity to UT2004 weapons. The RG reminds me a lot of the shield gun.

But then if they'd gone for the Q3 simplistic look, the single player would have featured people running round with cartoon weapons. Woulda killed the buzz.

Mebbe we'll see some bonus material being released with game patches, like alternative weapon sets.

Does people have the game, or are they just pimping screens they find? (towards Rook and o'dium)

Post by **Don Carlos** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 6:35 pm

That would be cool as fuck Foo
Yes alternate models, like id did with the lg and rockets thing in quake 3

cg_oldrail 0 and all that (not known if its correct)

Post by **o'dium** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 6:36 pm

I dont think so... If id wouldn't do that, why would a third party raven do it...?

Yo ucan bet your ass virginity that we will see shit loads of "quake 3/2/1" model replacements popping up though.

Plus, an this is the part i'm looking forward too... Classic Quake levels ported to it with new bells/whistles. DM6 and DM13 are a must.

The only person I know who has the game is zombie. I think it's possible a couple other people have gotten it the same way, but I haven't heard of anyone else.

I am leaving for lunch right now though, and going by EB Games to see if I can convince them that they need to sell me a copy. :icon32:

That would be effects sir, you worthless piece of toad vomit

And that would be easy to do, seeing as the strogg railgun effect is already there

You could easily do it yourself, but alas, pure server would kick you in the sack.

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.

Nice video and so small

Added the download here

Cheers

As much as I'd love to post screenshots of new stuff I'm going to hold out until the game is released and so you guys can check it out for yourselves, feels like I've spoilt you too much already!
