Not sure how many of these have been posted.

Check out eoc.bad_q4singleplayer.avi first, the gameplay looks good. They acctually run out of places instead of appearing from walls/corners. The environment is not dark at all and there is more space in general. It's linear but it looks like fun.

They still have that stupid effect where the body disintegrates, but it's green instead of orange this time.

eoc.bad_vs_rocket_q2dm1.avi shows off the map really well but the guy is a complete noob (edit: acctually he get's better, I figured he couldn't climb a crate but it appears there is no double jump or he doesn't know how to do it), it's quake2 all over again. Megahealth is in a different place now.

Seen a few of them before, but a couple were new. Thx.

Man watching eoc.bad_vs_rocket_q2dm1.avi, looks so much like quake3. It's going to be good

So what do people think after watching some of these videos, imo the game looks good.

Quake2 + Quake3 + Industrial Look = Quake4

The single player vid looked good, the gameplay seems fast and actionpacked, good stuff. I liked how they did the interfacing with the AA canon.

quake2 wasnt industrial enough for ya?

(im getting only 40k/s from those links btw.. is it me?)

I liked the fact you dont collect spinning bright green balls of nothing for health. Thank fuck its different models in MP and SP or some things. Things lay flat or against the world, not floating in mid air. Good stuff. Doom 3 did this too, but its MP was horrid because the health was so hard to see.

I'm getting 151 KB/s, I think it's you? Quake2 was industrial but with the new effects/reflective effects it looks more like metal in Quake4.

I can't think of a single game where in the SP they had health and ammo boxes floating a la Q3. And to be honest, I think the way they've done it in Q3 was pretty neat

Didn't UT2K4 have a similar effect?

Bah I have a lecture now, stupid real life.

aye

so anyways, just watched that edge movie.

i wish they added 2 or 3 jumping sounds per model. it feels so stale now.
the footsteps also still sound like theplayer has 10 feet, like in doom3

oh and -63 health? how hard is it to make the hud never show negative numbers? its one step off showing decimals
or remove hud alltogether when you die. i liked the way you died in q3, in thirdperson et al

Note the "where in the SP" part of the sentence.

Shit. I really hate linear leveldesign. I hope it isn´t as bad as HL2 or even Unreal2, and that there´s at least some sidetracking and backtracking.

noooo not backtracking! I hate it when you have cleared a whole part of a level and then are forced to backtrack, only to find that it's been infested again by enemies.

What with magic doors that would not open before but now slide easily..., and enemies that appear from pretty much nowhere?

To those of us who haven't got it yet, heres a new trailer:

indeed... I must admit that was one of the things I didn't like about Doom 3.

Well, I would like it more if they put a little thought into it. You know, its a PPL engine so you cant tell if something is gonna move or not...

Why do i have to backtrack along a huge walkway to a door that was locked before and is now suddenly open?

Wouldn't it be cooler if i backtracked over to that dor and have the wall explode with something come through it attacking me? Like how the trench coat dude did in Resi 2?

or like the pinky in the Doom 3 alfa... a missed opportunity

Yeah, what was he used three times the entire game? That guy has power, punch through some walls!

agreed,
but rest of the game looks good.
