1024 + high (no fsaa, no anizo, no soft shadows)
and
800x600 + low/off

thats the last thing we're asking for

Soft shadows? lol, didn't play much doom 3 did you...

You wont spoil much there..we already seen it in the videos, but it flashes by so quickly..would be nice to see it a tad longer than 5 secs.
3-4 different models wouldent hurt..right?

hes to busy playing.

Dang, I'm about to die to see a screenshot of Q3DM17 on quake 4.

yeah that surprised me too. I do think it's a nice change, but I can't help but wonder how color blind people are going to cope with it, since they can't differentiate between orange (red) and green.

Great screenshots and vid clips, thanks zombie and rgoer.
I have only one real observation to make and that is the sound of the footsteps and the machine gun, and probably anything else in the game that has a consecutive repeating sound. The speed of each footstep is faster than in Q3 when running, but they actually sound like a loop ( which is of course what it is). The sound in Q3 is more natural and doesn't really sound like a computer generated loop, even though it is. The machine gun's sound as it repeats also makes the loop obvious as opposed to Q3. Anyone know what I mean? No biggie, just a bit annoying once I started hearing it. I also think bringing the gamma up, ( if it's possible ingame) will be a huge benefit for competitive playing. And yes, there is a lot of brown! Looking awesome though.

The edge really looks superb. Although the mp maps don't have a whole lot of detail in them, they do seem to have just that right atmosphere that I find so lacking in games like UT2004. Damn, I can't wait to install the game and hop on a server to score my very first Quake 4 frag :icon17:

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:

GL man

They don't even have it in stock yet.

He said they were still expecting two more shipments today, so hopefully one of them is Q4. He's going to call me if it comes in today, and said I could come by and pick it up tonight. :icon32:

they had enough time to add this option, dunno if they did it. i just asked for it "in case" ;-)

No, its not as easy as you think. Soft shadows ARE possible, but it will destory your PC. RIddick has them, and it kills your frame rate. FEAR has them, but its not truely PPL. And Half Life 2 has them, but thats just on models.

So to have soft per pixel shadows like Riddick, expect to not have a frame rate.

Woah I go to sleep and this thread explodes... people still having stiffies about Quake I see

Hey d00d, got any shots of DM17?

d00d ey0

btw 6800 or 6600gt ?

riddick works pretty ok on my pc. but ss reduces performance a lot, thats true, still playable tho

Riddick is smooth as silk on mine, too. But enable shader 2.0++ and it will destory it.

Well it looks like the floodgates are beginning to open :icon28:

Us euro's are still half a week or so behind you lads :icon23: but I'm reckoning i'll have me cfg written and all sorted by the time i finally get my copy.

GJ's all on info, keep it coming

Pld Zombie on what can only be a forum pwning scoop

Damn right
A big fat congratulation is in order

Whoa!

Just found a Q3DM17 picture.

Thats Doom 3, hence the shitty textures, shitty lighting, shitty sky box, and Doom 3 mega health.

And Doom3 pentagrams.

Yeah I almost choked, it looked so awful. Then I saw the pentagrams and realised it had to be a custom D3 map.

Some mod remove that shit, my god It's a disgrace to any mapper.

LOL
Could be worse... :icon30:

DM17 was always a horrible map. I wish they actually remade maps that people still play.
