First, why Quake 4, and not the usual Quake IV
My copy arrived in the post this morning, and I have a good feeling this will show Doom 3 was a great game base, just a rubbish game (actually Quake 4 is developed by Raven).
Without having played it yet (just installing) it seems to take over from where Quake II left off (even has the same basic weapons!) which is great, and then adds a Quake III style multiplayer game, so it's probably time to say goodbye to a load of free time.
Pretty system intensive though I'll admit: P4 2 GHz or Athlon XP 2000, 512 Mb RAM and as we know from Doom 3 a huge power card.
I just can't help thinking how slow this game will play at 1920x1440 (you know who you are
)
