the story of q4 is that you have been teleported from a gay planet. (there are no women left on earth) and you have to go and steal the oil from the strogg home planet. then, and only then make love to the stroggafied chicks to repopulate earth. its messy.. but someones gotta do it

so really its a planetary rape story!

but on a serious note... ya gotta love the ending.. i mean wtf? way to leave the story open ended. only to not release the follow up... makin the whole story null and void.. woop woop where's my gun?

Yeah you probably know about the expansion that got canned, gee I wonder why huh?

What a fucking waste of 60 Canuck bucks.

A waste of waste is not really waste.

They're trapped Jim. Their minds haven't evolved beyond Quake 3. They can't crouch slide. They play DM6 and ztn almost exclusively, and fret and scream if they can't have 125 fps (with no v-synch to prevent texture tearing). It's a sad state, caused by growing up in the golden era that was Quake3.

On the other hand: this IS quake3world. We're in their lair. :icon31:

about 5 people registered here still play quake3, so there goes your theory

So, people come here to bitch about a game they MIGHT play if it was more like a game they USED to play? Fascinating... Or maybe just weird. Yep.. Mostly weird. :icon34:

i would play q4 if i could bring myself to upgrade. problem is i dont know if i would like q4 as much as i still enjoy playing a 7 year old game. q4 def has improved with the latest patch. i almost upgraded a month ago but just couldn't pull the trigger.

i think q4 is much more like q3 now in 1.3 then it was ootb. i would like to sync my refresh and framerate to something higher than 60 though, say even just 85. or 75!

Yes but since the engine itself is designed around 60fps raising it wouldn't help any and would probably cause oddities or instability.

How many times have we all been over this? : D

Even people who play Counterstrike have heard about this since we've said it so much. >: ]

i dont give a shit about those things.. i play a bit of q3.. but im more into sp games... but it really was a lack luster game... lot like unreal2.. lol fps sp games which are good these days are few and far between.. but so far.. i kinda like pray... starting to get a bit repetitive tho...

major flaw to not have higher framerates in mind when creating the q4 engine then imo. i guess the logic is everyone uses lcd anyway and lower fps means more people can "play" the game with older hardware. just would like to have had the option.

has there been an official response about why the engine revolves around 60fps?

Its not a flaw to have the engine capped when it was designed that way. You're basing your opinion on the fact there was a glitch in the q3 engine which allowed faster movement and longer jumps at 125fps. Faster movement and more movement options (eg. crouch sliding and ramp jumping) are available in Q4 at 60fps. With a decent system, v-sync enabled, and a solid 60fps it looks better and smoother than Q3 ever did IMO.
