Kruten October 24, 2005 Share Kruten Member October 24, 2005 It's out. I have no clue what it's actually like, but I'm sure it's great like all the others were. Now I have three games I'm have to get when we go shopping this weekend. Serious Sam 2, FEAR, and Quake 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller October 24, 2005 Share Leveller Member October 24, 2005 (edited) Actually, not too keen on Quake 4, but if anyone has feedback on how F.E.A.R. runs in the final release I'd like to know. I enjoyed the demo considerably but it was a bit choppy at times. Serious Sam II, loved the first one on co-op, loved the demo and will more than likely be getting it. The above assumes that my life doesn't disappear completely when Civ IV lands on my doorstep. Edited October 24, 2005 by Leveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan October 24, 2005 Share JackieChan GC Alumni October 24, 2005 It's out. I have no clue what it's actually like, but I'm sure it's great like all the others were. Now I have three games I'm have to get when we go shopping this weekend. Serious Sam 2, FEAR, and Quake 4. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Serious Sam 2 is a very fun game. Make sure you got a LAN game going on because this one internet server I was on was really buggy. It's Coop only so that's a letdown because the game has ALOT of potentional to be an awesome deathmatch game. Sorry to stray off topic there.

wayfarer October 25, 2005 Share wayfarer Member October 25, 2005 I picked up Serious Sam II. It's A lot of fun & although it can be a little dumb at some points, the story is quite funny. Accuracy is not as required in this game as in CSS. As a result I found myself sucking even worse after playing SSII! I did'nt think that was possible!

JackieChan October 25, 2005 Share JackieChan GC Alumni October 25, 2005 The last level has an estimated time of 1 hour to beat. Better bring some friends... That was such a fun level... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VooDooPC October 25, 2005 Share VooDooPC Member October 25, 2005 Imagine Doom3, with more bad guys that die much easier then IMPs. I haven't played Quake 1 or 2 since they came out so i really can't do a direct comparison. I haven't beaten it yet. Sometimes it just gets kind of boring (might be becuase i started it right after beating FEAR) , I think its a bit longer than FEAR. FEAR took me three days to beat playing a few hours a day but i have been playing Quake 4 for much longer and i'm not done yet. I don't know how close the end is either. The graphics are very nice and run suprisingly nice. My X800 was struggling with FEAR at times but it runs Quake 4 jamazing. If you have an ATI card their next drivers are supposed to increase performance with OpenGL a whole lot. So thats something to look forward. Gameplay is just what you would expect. Most of it is running around and killing Strogg. Fat ones, skinny ones, big ones, they are all in there! Theres also vehicle sections. You can drive a Mech, a Tank, you can man a machine gun on a tram car and a convoy truck, not sure if theres more. FEAR performance is slightly better then the demo i'd say. I didn't load up the game and thing "Wow, this runs MUCH better than the demo!", so its not a large imporvement that i noticed. But on On The Spot one of the FEAR guys said the final code was much more optimized than the demo code. They still have the annoying pauses when you go around corners (if you had that problem with the demo) but if you turn down the textures its a temporary fix until they release a patch to fix it.

Unclean October 25, 2005 Share Unclean Member October 25, 2005 Sim, I'll be picking it up tonight to see how it runs on my machine. I just put together a monster: A64 4000+, X800XL 256MB, and a raptor 74GB 10,000 RPM drive. If it runs like Doom III, this machine will easily max it out. Most of it is running around and killing Strogg. Fat ones, skinny ones, big ones Even ones with chicken pox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex October 25, 2005 Share Lex Member October 25, 2005 I picked up Quake 4 a few hours ago.. can't wait to get home and install it... Has anybody played it online??? I've heard many negative reviews about the online game play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC October 25, 2005 Share VooDooPC Member October 25, 2005 Its just like Quake 3 online. I'm not a fan of games like UT and Quake online, but i'm sure others are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclean October 26, 2005 Share Unclean Member October 26, 2005 I bought Q4 last night, and think it's fine for single player action. There's a lot of extras (namely conversations) that I've seen in the first few levels. Neat stuff. Two complaints: 1. enabling shadows locks up the game after 2-3 minutes of gameplay. Maybe an X800XL-specific problem. 2. TOO many hitscan weapons. The machinegun (that the player gets in the first level) can zoom in and become a sniper rifle, so I've been owning bad guys before they even get close.

VooDooPC October 26, 2005 Share VooDooPC Member October 26, 2005 No shadows? Ouch, thats what makes the Doom3 engine the Doom3 engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laz.e.rus November 15, 2005 Share Laz.e.rus Member November 15, 2005 My old q3 buds picked it up and want me too as well. The ratings Im hearing is..... Single: is good. Nuttin special MP: If you liked Q3a, you'll L O V E Q4... like q3a on steroids with better graphics. Even the play style is similar. If you werent a fast hopping Q3A lover, youll find it boring I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
