So, Quake 4 quickly put me to sleep. Pretty at times, even though it looked way too much like Doom 3, but just an average shooter, otherwise. Another big disappointment was that the online play was nothing more than Quake 3 maps visually updated with the new Doom 3 engine. Sure, those maps were fun when Quake 3 launched, but over 6 years later?!! Been there, shot that. Oh well, at least Quake Wars looks all kinds of crazy fun. Methinks it smacks of the Battlefield series a bit too much, and the upcoming futuristic Battlefield 2142 might make this game obsolete, but at least id is giving EA a run for their online money....
Quake Wars trailers hereOne trailer on FileFront hereGameSpot 2006 Stage Show DemonstrationThe stage show demo/interview really shows off how Quake Wars will differentiate itself from other online shooters. Just the thought of being able to spawn from another player's dead body is enough to make me interested (and kind of creeped out).
