Weapon cycle movie

Five more new singleplayer shots:
01 02 03 04 05

Roaming footage from the show floor showing some rail, nailgun and hyperblaster action.

New, official video from the singleplayer campaign.

Best footage of multiplayer so far available here. It looks really fast. You may notice people firing in to teleporters, projectiles now pass through and come out the other side.

170MB video of Fatality playing Quake 4. Heaps of shaft and gl action, I pulled it at about 150k/sec.

Even more singleplayer shots:
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09

Nullsoft video footage of an official presentation of Quake 4 from the con, and John Carmack's keynote speech. I found the torrents were way faster than the direct download.

WASD.tv have better footage of singleplayer from the presentation, with sound all the way through.

Last update, these are all fairly good quality:
A brief demonstration of the ramp jump physics and firing through teleporters. Citizen poorly demonstrates nailgun climbing for a second in this one.

Two vids of some tard running around in CTF: 01 02

A goon interviews Fatal1ty. "I like the ones where I can feel".

Quakecon is over so that will probably be it until there is something official, although the admins are requesting any footage people took at the show to host on the site.

Two new ET: QW shots:

etqw_trojan_patrol.jpg

Looks awesome, except for the 9 year old in the first photo. Quake is almost older than him.

f***ing yes.

Errr... Looks f***ing awesome.

f*** yes

looks s***.

Oh and that 9 year old is actually existance.

I didnt think the graphics looked anything revoloutionary ?

Let me be the first to officially wet myself. Looks awsome. Can't wait till the release!

It's quake, how could it possibly be bad.

ps strafe jumping and ob in multiplayer ftw!

I'd say the pics look a bit ordinary because they are shaky cam grabs from the event. Would be good to see the engine and crisp graphics running at a decent clip for real. With their pedigree I am expecting Raven to deliver on this one.

Psycho They are using the Doom3 Engine...............

Atleast it looks mostly bright.

Slinky, that chick had better walk faster on the treadmill if she want to get rid of that cellulite.

The video of the deathmatch level looked exactly like Q3, so boring. Hopefully there'll be better looking ones than that and I hope the single player game is good as well. They need to chuck in mutators like Unreal.

I'm thinking its either going to be a rehash of the same old s*** or a refinement of the deathmatch FPS genre. I'm expecting a rehash but I hope it surprises me.

f*** yeah.. dais you're a champion!

/wets self

q4 and qw look f***ing mad

So, which one of you a******s told iD software that instant, high damage, high velocity weapons were a fun part of their games? Fair enough the story line continues from Quake 2, but that doesnt mean they NEED to put it into multiplayer : /

Say NO to the railgun!

Oh and before you s*** on me, ask anyone how much I own with it ;)

cl_drawgun 0

Trog, I hate the fact that you are /for the railgun. And therefore, I hate you.

Yeah, I dont like how some of those weaps look...rocket launcher looks like it takes up a huge amount of space.

I personally like the railgun and have no problem with it being in q4. I'm hoping they'll have push back with lg in q4 (there is some push back in q3 just not as much as quake). I'm sure if they do what they did with the q3 test and got some ideas from people they'll make modifications if it blows goats.

the quake lg owned, however I did prefer the q3a one

Yeah the q3a one is good, but a little more push back would be nice, hopefully the machine gun isn't as strong as the q3 one aswell...that'd be annoying.

rl still slow as s*** it seems :/

needs QW lg push *rubs hands together*

there's too much colour in the weapons and some of the characters, it's got no style

http://renton.uams.edu/Quakecon2k5/Quake4Multi.mp4

is apparently a very good video of q4 multi. Haven't seen it myself yet though...

^^ damn thats downloading slow

great vid. looks like every q3 wep is making a return, even the gautlet. one of the guys playing said it is like cpma. sweet

Oh Yes, upgrade for sure.

ill only need a new graphics card hopefully

Trog, I hate the fact that you are /for the railgun. And therefore, I hate you.

so's your face

Trog are you able to upload these vids to ausgamers or something? they're realy realy slow >:

lol id fanboys

p.s it does look good, can't wait to play it

to bad they are released quake 4 for the xbox 360 first. xbox and pc at the same time i can understand but to sellout to a console before the pc release (for an obvious pc title) is just so... f***ed. then again PCs are only responsable for ID being where they are today so why not develop for consoles first.

CTF?!

For Jim's sake, I hope the LG is not the flaccid QW version.

...and that the shotty is not the lame AOne amped version :P

What's it matter what the graphics look like?

Won't everybody just drop the quality to its bare minimum to get the most frames? ;)

I hate weapons and powerups that bob up and down while spinning, waiting to be picked up. It makes the game feel unrealistic and gumby. The Farcry 'weapon-lying-still-on-the-ground' approach is much better and makes you feel like you're part of the world. But I guess since Quake 4 is aimed at the masses/common-denominators, they have to really point out the weapons for the newbies to stay interested. LOOK SHINY! Such a shame :/

Also, as an id fan, I'm not really looking forward to Quake 4. I never really liked Quake 3's gameplay (RA3 was ok) as I (like I mentioned above) didn't feel like I was part of the world. I've also had enough of the railgun, rocketlauncher, generic-blasters, etc. That sort of complete and utter re-use of weapons is what turned me off the Unreal sequels. If you're going to resurrect weapons, at least try to make them more interesting!

ET:QW on the other hand .. bring it on!

Your post makes no sense.

Your post makes no sense.

Then go back to primary school and learn English.

Aaaaah, oh man you cut me bad :)

QUICK! SLAP IT WITH REALISM BEFORE IT BECOMES A GAME FOCUSED ON GAMEPLAY.

*Gets out the realism stick* Why you little!

Looks nice, I miss the days of a real deathmatch... better feel like quake otherwise I get so mad!

Also I don't know how to take Fatal1ty... it's cool that he's like the best player etc... But they are naming computer gear after him etc... I guess we are really going into mainstream with gaming (Michael Jordan, Tiger Woody etc... branded things).

But I must put one downer on... it still isn't a original game... where are my new games? Sequals = :(

u used to be able to scale the guns in quake 2 didn't u? Im guessing that command is still hidden in there.

Railgun blows.

I don't understand why they put in a lag on the rocketlauncher to make it less effective, then have this f***ing railgun that owns anyone instantly from the other side of the map?

QW looks pretty cool. Q4 multi looks like more of the same ol' which I guess isn't a bad thing.

Quake Deathmatch isnt about realism, far from it. It is deep down an arcade game, like Ghost n Goblins and Pac-Man. WTF Pac-Man is so unrealistic some wierd chompy thing eating ghosts, for starters ghosts by definition are corpreal so they cant be interacted with by real stuff. Then again it was and still is a fun game.

Quake Deathmatch is about your skill vs's another. Everything in the game is made for that purpose. Why make guns harder to see by putting them on the ground when that isnt what the game is about. If you want realism then your looking forward to the wrong game.
Go play Fear, that is closer to what you want.

Haha yeah, because the quake universe is totally realistic.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks a hell of a lot like quake3 with some slightly better graphics??

The screenies n vids look kinda cool... but i'll wait till the game/games are out AND I have hardware decent enough to run it smooth (so in a few years!!!) till I make up my mind about it.
I totally agree with the quaker's lack of realism in games sentiment. I want less realism, higher, longer rocket jumps!, more insane push on hitscan weapons!, greater armour & superhealth protection!, faster strafe jumping & more trick moves!@#!@#! But until then... I'll just play Quake.

Haha yeah, because the quake universe is totally realistic.

I was waiting for a comment like that.

Just because the game isn't a real-life simulation doesn't mean that they have to make it even less realistic with silly arcade-style effects (even if the game is fast-paced)

Am I the only one who thinks it looks a hell of a lot like quake3 with some slightly better graphics??

Quake 3 with cartoon weapons. I really can't see why people are getting wet over it, maybe I need to download the movies.

who cares about graphics.
I'll be playing this competitively. Nobody has graphics on in comps.
Game looks like it has combined the best of the first 3 into one, with more.
(Y) nice.
TROG: are YOU sold MATE,fellow quake fanboi?!?

Oh yes, and plasma guns and jump pads make it feel real.

This is why Q3 was good. It's not SUPPOSED to feel real. This also why games like CS fail miserably. They attempt to be real, but lack aspects or a good implementation of aspects which I feel are required to make a game feel real - things like dodging, rolling, accurate weapon sway/aim inaccuracy, and damage systems. CS will always be s*** while it uses a hit point system.

Q4 looks like it's gonna run about the same speed as Q3 ran when it came out. I can remember playing that at Big Day In with a Riva 128, and many others with Voodoo 2s. Ah, those people with GeForce DDRs, they were the envy...

This also why games like CS fail miserably

O yer because nobody played that CS game..
I would call it a huge success really..

Now, that is a post.

and jump pads make it feel real.

I don't like jump-pads either :)

My e-heart sank when I saw them in the Q4 vids. Bring back the Quake LIFTS! There was nothing quite like in Quake where you'd hear chains and miscellaneous metal rubbing while a lift/door/wall was being activated. Very atmospheric. Nice work by Reznor for creating all the audio for that game!

omg bring back the powershields, the ability to drop ammo and weapons, and then it will be a team game again!!

also ctf with grapple!!

/end q2 fanboy wet dream.

powershield was just stupid in the end.

powershield was stupid when it was exploited
like the quad

What do you mean by exploited. 'Used'?

"overused"

quad?

quad ran out.

only way you'd die with ps + 200 cells was if you were a total retard or were incredibly outskilled by whoever you were fighting

zomg just watched all the vids, looks awesome!! i have a real bad hankering for some dm right now.

powershields made the games much harder in q2 ... but it was all part of the 'controlling' skills

also, HAIL GRAPPLE!

looks good.
Lets hope it actually plays like it
