Tercer día de la Quakecon 2005, ya se empieza a
mascar con más detalles lo que va a ser, el tan ansiado Quake 4. Ya
podemos tomar notas de lo que se nos avecina con Quake 4, ya son
numerosas webs, e incluso Tim Willits, los que dan detalles.
En este tercer día se nos muestran
capturas de pantallas de lo que va a ser el CTF, aún no se ha colgado
ningún video, esperemos que cuelguen algo a lo largo del día. A lo que
también sumamos las esperadas "keynotes" de John Carmack ¦).
Recordad que podéis seguir este evento a través de este enlace.
* UPDATES
Dos nuevos videos algo más 'serios' 
[ Interwiev ]
- Gamespot y Tim Willits: nos dan sus impresiones de lo qué serán las armas, el single player y el multiplayer.
Tim Willits: At id, when we looked at
developing a new Quake game, we looked at the previous games, and we
wanted to make one that had a compelling single-player game that also
had excellent multiplayer as well. For single-player, we used the Quake
II universe, because we feel that it had the most to offer in terms of
having a great setting and a good, solid story of aliens invading the
earth followed by the humans striking back. Quake II was also one of
our most popular Quake games, so we started there with the foundations
for the single-player game. But we also knew that [since this game
would be part of] the Quake franchise, we had to make some great
multiplayer as well. So, we looked at Quake III, which we thought had
the best multiplayer feel to it. What you'll really have in Quake 4 is
the best of all the Quake series all in one game--a great single-player
game, along with great multiplayer. Raven has gone in and really tried
to examine the way multiplayer feels, making tweaks to make sure that
multiplayer isn't going to be Doom 3 multiplayer all over again, but
really a Quake III-style multiplayer.
Tim Willits: There are some multiplayer
modes that are still in discussion with Raven, but you'll have capture
the flag and variants, you'll have team deathmatch, you'll have
tourney, and you'll have brand-new levels, some of which will be based
on classic levels [from previous Quake games] that players really
enjoyed. The number of clients is up [from Doom 3], currently around 12
to 16, but until we really finalize everything, we can't talk too much
about multiplayer otherwise. But we will have a lot more information at
this year's QuakeCon.
Tim Willits: I think the weapons in
Quake 4 are just awesome. Especially the lightning gun -- that's my
favorite looking weapon. Players, when they get these weapons, they'll
know what they are, but they look so much cooler now. They almost look
now what you imagined them to look like in Quake 2, so we're really
excited about the weapons as well.
Tim Willits: Raven nailed a lot of the
weapons right from the get-go. Honestly, I think the rocket launcher
was the only one that we had problems with. (Everyone laughs).
- E3 interwiev:
Tim Willits: We don't want to talk
about the multiplayer modes until later. But the QUAKE 4 multiplayer
games are based on the QUAKE 3 feel. Raven has reworked the network
code from DOOM 3, it will be 12-16 players, that's pretty standard.
We'll have deathmatch, team deathmatch, there will be free-for-alls,
and we want to save the rest of the big stuff for QuakeCon.
- IGN interwiev:
Tim Willits: That's another great
question. The multiplayer is based on the Quake III physical feel. You
know, it's mathematically the same. As a developer, you don't want to
totally change the way everything feels between multiplayer and
single-player, but we felt that we really needed to do that in Quake 4,
so when you play multiplayer it's totally different than single-player.
You'll have teleportation pad, jump pads, your bigger combat maps
you're familiar with from Quake III. Deathmatch, plus there are CTF
variants.
Tim Willits: Yes. You can grenade jump,
rocket jump and then cock the nail gun and climb up the walls. You can
get moving fast. We were playing CTF on this one map and we actually
had to add a corner to it because I could jump in and grab the flag so
fast and get it out before anyone could ever get me. We had to change
the map because I was moving too fast.
- Todd Hollenshead interwiev:
Todd Hollenshead: You'll see a return
of the Railgun, Rocket Launcher, and in multiplayer rocketjumping is
all back in. You have the Nailgun back. The Blaster, the Hyperblaster.
You'll be able to use the Nailgun to climb the walls for example. So we
have kinda the Q3-style physics in the gameplay in multiplayer with
sort of the more robust Doom 3 physics-technology that John Paul wrote
for us.
Todd Hollenshead: At this point we do
not have bots working in the game. The A.I. on the single-player side
would not be suited for the multiplayer component, so I have to hedge
on that question. It might be a better question for Tim to answer as to
whether that's ultimately something that's planned to be included, but
it's not in the game at this point. Sometimes Tim plays like a bot and
I think he's cheating.
Do you think we'll see a QUAKE 4 test for the multiplayer before the game comes out?
Todd
Hollenshead: That's a good question. I think what we'll want to do is
test the networking, because we've pretty much redone all the
networking and we like to get the community to test that and make sure
that it's going to be solid before the game is done. We'll have to see
as we get closer to completion of both the single-player and the
multiplayer elements of the game as to how that's going to work out.
Todd Hollenshead: When you say "test,"
it kind of makes me think of Quake Test and QIII Test. In both those
situations, it was a very early look at what the multiplayer was like.
Quake III Test, I believe, came out in February, and the game came out
in December, so that's nearly ten month in between. I think that one of
the things that we learned from that is that we like to have all of the
elements of the multiplayer done and not use it as much as a gameplay
testing, but to really test the technology, so you would see a much
more polished version of it if I could draw it up and have it be the
way I wanted it to be.
- firingsquad.com interwiev:
id Software reasoned that they reached
a good balance and compromise with Quake III Arena, and don't intend to
deviate from the formula. One solid tidbit that was offered was that
hitboxes are back, and there will be no more per-pixel hit detection,
which will permit netcode to return to normal.
[ John Carmack - keynotes ]
- id Software has raised the bar for the industry in terms of graphics.
- id will develop the XBox360 version of Quake4 in house instead of getting a third party to do the port.
- He praised Microsoft many times for providing the best development environment on the XBox.
Discussed his work with cell phone game design. He likes the simplicity
of coding a game on a cell phone and the ability the test out new
things.
- The Q3 source doe released under the GPL should be released within the week. Punkbuster will be removed from the source code.
- The Quake franchise has brought in over one billion dollars in revenue to id.
- He would like see to a commercial game released under the GPL using
the soon to be released Q3 source code. That means the commercial game
would have to include all their source code when released. If a company
didn't want to released their source with the game, id would sell them
a license to use the game engine for a reasonable ammount.
- He would like to see a cell phone game spring to a full blown computer game not the other way around.
- He likes the PSP, but said he doesn't play many video games at all.
Y para postre, la source de Quake 3 ¦), ¿quién no ama a John Carmack ¦D? :
- Hot off the presses folks, just announced moments ago, we've got
awesome news out of camp Quakecon where Pappy-R has just left the
QuakeCon Keynote with John Carmack. The Quake III Arena source code
will be released as soon as they can put it all together! It was also
noted that the release "will not include any PunkBuster stuff in it".
Watch for more news on the Q3 source release as it comes in!
John Carmack en Quakecon 2005, te amo ¦).
Quake III Arena
wow, en ninguna de las 3 imagenes pasan de 38 fps
Miedo me da esos FPS… y si te fijas bien (en la imagen segunda), en el cartelito de arriba del monitor pone:
Powered by:
Nvidida Ge-Force 7800 GTX
Aunque viendo los videos… se movía bastante bien
.
Por cierto poneros el video de fatality jugando al q4, ponerlo por el minuto 3:54, decidme si eso no es un “headshot” sacado de Counter Strike… que alguien me diga que no es un headshot, por favor…
“We had to change the map because I was moving too fast.”
apenas ubernob? se pasara los strafes naranjas andros? 
eso taba mirando yo passive, a mi me a parecido ke si, de toas maneras ahi el brother iba pelao de vida.

No creo que un participante de la quakecon coja instale el nero y grabe un dvd imagen del q4.
Tampoco creo que esa imagen lo sea, y si lo es, ira peor que la demo que podemos tener dentro de muy poco, supongo…
