For some with Quake 4, it was too little too late, but there's not much we can do with those people. The focus of the development for two to three years was a single player game, and then multiplayer was basically an add-on. It's too bad that people can't accept the fact that you only have so many development resources and want to put all your effort into one aspect. That was to make a great single player game. When we don't have a great multiplayer component, we just get torched. So then, yeah, we did the multiplayer and it wasn't as well received as we would have liked. But, I think that's because the majority of development of the resources, like Doom 3, was for the single player.

August 8, 2007, 1:20 PM. Marty Stratton interviewed by Gameriot.

Multiplayer is just an add-on. Quake 4 maybe won't be able to beat Quake 3 never as a multiplayer game.

Anyway, I´m happy with the news. Happy

Let's all go back to Q1! It's almost as fast as E+, but you don't spawn with all the weapons.

f2 f2 f2 f2.

q4 sucks.
i dont know how you feel about this but IMO quake 3 arena is so far the only game i have ever played (and i think i will ever play) that creates this certain feeling of fully controlling the character - of being the character.
q4, CS, UT, its all nice and yes its fun, but they feeling, the movement, the POV, the way of quake 3 is just so much better and so far not reached closely by any other game (as i said, imo).
so --> q3 ftw.

I wanted to put a bullet between the eyes of every penguin that didnt wanna screw to save its species.

Yeah, it's hard to put it into words, but Q3 just feels "right". It's kinda funny that i'm saying this, coz i was very critical of it when it was released. Q3 and Q1 are definitely the best of the series.... but i would like to give Q4 a chance. It is the future, and in all probability, we'll all (or most of us will) end up playing there, sooner or later.

Though, not sooner then in a couple of years, i wager. Or maybe it will be Q5. Big grin

Anyway, nice initiative. And yes, Quakeworld = WIN. /o

I don´t believe Quake 4 is the future for "us". It´s almost virtual past, an admited error by Id Software themselfs. Sure it´s popular and will overtake Quake 3 in number of players.

But I think the followup of Quake Zero will be the future. A totally new Quake game, focused from the start to be the best multiplayer experience ever.

I think this way because of the info from the last QuakeCon and this interview.

New big mod on q4 and standalone game with cpm Worried Why people don't wait for official details on q0 and then decide what to do? I don't really hunt info about it but i read that a beta might be released soon. Also i read that feedback on q0 will guide the devteam on the right direction for the new game. I mean, this sounds sweet so... Confused Anyway...

--edit--

To kill time while waiting? I read that q0 will be available around 2009 or so. So...

Official details, not release. I suppose that they'll say soon the most important thing of all - if it will be mod-able.

--edit--

I doubt about 2009, but i haven't read something different tbh.
