Hype, dissapointment and Quake 4

Hey gamers.

Please take 10 minutes of your time and read gamespots Quake 4 review: Quake 4 review

They gave the game a score of 80%

Now - lets discuss it.

Firstly - they say that the single player campaign is amazing. Suprised? I'm not. The graphics actually scored 10/10 - which is pretty damn amazing by Gamespots standards. While reading about the single player campaign I couldn't help but get excited...

Secondly - the multiplayer. They are complaining that the multiplayer is a replica of Quake 3, just with better graphics.

EXCUSE ME?

Yes. Quake 3 multiplayer - with Doom 3 graphics.

Am I missing something here? I don't mean to be an @ss - but SHEESH! Isn't this exactly what we wanted? Fast, frantic multiplayer that goes back to the roots of it all?

I see the problem though - everyone was expecting something new. Everyone was thinking Quake 4 would come along with a completely new game dynamic, teaching all the other developers what to do next.

Well guess what fools, ID doesn't need to lead the way anymore. They already paved the path - the frantic multiplayer, the eerie singleplayer, the amazing graphics... it's all there.

Funny though - FEAR will get a unanimous high score everywhere. Why? Not just because it's a fantastic game... but rather because everyone was expecting faults.

With Quake 4 - everyone was expecting something new, but instead, got an extremely good looking, refined version of what they mastered years ago...

So once again - hype plays a big role in our holiday gaming season.

I just wish I could give FEAR and Quake 4 to someone who has never played games before, and ask them which one comes out on top?

Who cares anyways - we all have a lot of shoesting to do in the near future. B)

My sentements exactly. Like I said in a previous post, and you said it aswell. ppl THought they were bringing something entirely new to the table. They did not, they did not have to. If they put slow motion in quake, it would have been crap. If they take the slow motion outta FEAR, it would be crap. Understand?

They kept to the roots, the way it should be. No fancy schmancy stuffs.Get in the level. Kill stroggs, become a strogg, run and gun, Finish the level. The way it always has been with quake, and the way it should be!An exaclt replica of Quake III, and they moan? Sheesh, fooking pansies.Mapl@ssie tells all the peeps to watch out cause quake4 multiplayer is gonna generate hundreds and hundreds of mods before year end, mark my words!

IT allready is. Dude, It's quake. And Fook what the other ppl say. Look way back when deus Ex came out. Allotta Magazines (nag included) rated it in the 60's. The game to me should have scored 95+ from everyone. I dont trust reviews, and I dont trust benchmarking utils!

Funny though - FEAR will get a unanimous high score everywhere. Why? Not just because it's a fantastic game... but rather because everyone was expecting faults.
