strekship Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I am thinking of buying quake 4, but i have read some bad things about it. Im only in it for multiplayer/sp bot matches. So is it like Q3 with better GFX or did they ruin it? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/388689-quake-4-vs-quake-3-multiplayer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Quake 4 multiplayer feels like it was bolted on at the last moment. The maps are basic and uninspiring and the gameplay lacks the same frantic feel as Q3A.

Rudy Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 i found both single player and multiplayer is better on Quake3..... Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/388689-quake-4-vs-quake-3-multiplayer/#findComment-586712857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolslacker Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I am a big Quake 3 fan, but I didn't like Quake 4 at all. Of course it has better graphics, but it is not same as Quake 3.

But it wasn't considered "integral" to the release, since they know modders will have there way with it (blah).

Keldyn Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 No, perhaps not, but it certainly does feel like a rush job. I realize the emphasis is on single player, but with Q3A being so successful I would have thought it would be in ID/Raven's best interests to recapture some of that fan-base. I just think Raven could have gone that extra mile and shipped an outstanding product, rather than a great one.

LOC Veteran Posted October 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2005 Let's just clear something up really fast guys, ID did not make Quake 4, and is not making Quake Wars either. Raven made Quake 4 and Splash Damage is making Quake Wars.

Jiaoziren Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Q4 is not for MP.Q4 is the enhanced version of doom3 which provides better single play and graphics. "Enemy Territory: Quake Wars" is next big title for ID's MP game.

Toxicfume Veteran Posted October 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2005 Q4 MP certainly doesn't feel as fast paced and fun as Q3 or Q2 for that matter, I'm kind of disappointed so far.

Cyrilix Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I don't think Q4 multi was meant to be Q3 multi. I think Q2 multi may be more like it.

LOC Veteran Posted October 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2005 True, but Raven is certainly capable of making an A++ game title. ID has the utmost respect for Raven, they have been working together for what, 10 years now or something? I'm sure ID likes the way the game came out, after all they wouldn't have given it an A-OK otherwise, regardless what Activision says (they have as much to lose as ID and Raven if it stunk) That being said, I think ID/Raven made a major mistake just "porting" Q3 MP to Q4. I think they could have done so much more with it personally. But then again, it is what it is, it's a fast paced (albiet not as fast paced as Q3) multiplayer and its fun. Quake Wars as was mentioned before is the next big multiplayer game coming from Splash Damage (and ID if you like).

|Rapture| Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I cant really comment on the game or how it turned out as I'm not really interested in Quake. I just thought it was a little strange to go to the point of distancing ID from Quake 4. As for Raven other than Jedi Knight and half of SOF I've never been that impressed with their games. They probably appeal more to the DOS gamers that know them from Hexen and Heretic.

idunno Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) well i jus got quake4 for the mp 2 days ago, for me it feels like a mix of quake2 and quake3 mp put together, but im sure the quake4 mp will get better with mods comin out, but its still fun!

LOC Veteran Posted October 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2005 Actually Raven has made some of the most fun PC games around imo :p Hexen II (and expansion of course) Heretic II SOF SOF II Star Trek Elite Force I and expansion Jedi Knight II and Academy Of course, Quake 4 now. And they even did the PC port of X-Men Legends II :D Most if not all of those games I listed are fun and very well made (especially the SOF/EF games. Mmmm headshots) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/388689-quake-4-vs-quake-3-multiplayer/#findComment-586714151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorSA Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I would say Q3 is the best. Multiplayer is even better!!! Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/388689-quake-4-vs-quake-3-multiplayer/#findComment-586714156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
orestes Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 You can make Q4 mp 'feel' like q3 multi as far as control and config goes. Let's face it, as far as mp gameplay goes what made Q3 what it is today is the mods....and hopefully their coming becasue plain old DM sucks.

stncttr908 Veteran Posted October 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2005 Let me first say that I was never a "diehard" Q3 guy, but I find Quake 4 enjoyable, especially on LAN with a few college mates.

kevcart3 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 The multiplayer wasn't up there with Q3A, but then again, it isn't really supposed to be. Giving a little more focus on SP was probably the best idea if it is meant to be a SP game ;) I can still play Q3A for my multiplayer needs :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/388689-quake-4-vs-quake-3-multiplayer/#findComment-586714481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Quake 4 MP slightly feels different than Quake 3 but I love it.

tOta Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Last 2 days i been playing Q3A with OSP and ProMode... IMO its the best as fast FPS multiplayer can go. For me the best FPS-s are old school like Q3 and Q2 and UT. I dont like fps-s like UT2004 and BF2 with vechiles. They are too borning :D This is just my opinion... Hail Q3 (i hope i will be saying this also for Q4 till then im staying on Q3) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/388689-quake-4-vs-quake-3-multiplayer/#findComment-586714503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcdShdw Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 complete rush job, was time was too short to create a "new" game this to me is a doom 3 mod so to speak but with a story line of quake 2 but whatever thats how their making the games these days Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/388689-quake-4-vs-quake-3-multiplayer/#findComment-586714491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
