Entrevista a djWHEAT

Tras el término de la quakecon 2005, son muchas las reviews que han pasado por esta web, adelantándonos las primicias que nos deparará Quake 4. Como no iba a ser menos, Carmac, ha hecho pública una de sus entrevistas, esta vez, le ha tocado el turno a djWHEAT (en realidad ha sido éste, el que ha publicado la entrevista ), que nos destripa, aún más, lo que será Quake 4.

Algunas de las respuestas que dió djWHEAT a Carmac:

- djWHEAT: The game feels more like a combination of Quake 3, Doom 3, and Quake 1. That may seem a bit sporadic considering each of those games is completely different in the way it's played and the feel of the game. But imagine if you took the best elements of those games and threw them into the multiplayer game and tweaked them to work together.

- djWHEAT: I would say the speed of Quake 4 is just a tad faster than that of Quake 3. It's very difficult to determine the exact speed of the game under the environment in which we were shown Quake 4, but having watched some 1v1's and the fatal1ty shootout, I believe it's like Quake 3 with a Nitro Booster. My first impressions lead me to believe it will see some higher scoring games (imagine Quake 1 1v1's).

- djWHEAT: The movement is actually very similar to Quake 3... with a few twists. There is some ramp jumping, double jumping, and you CAN strafe jump. You do gain some speed momentum as you fly across the levels... however, the maps we were able to play on didn't exactly allow for straight runs across a level. This was one area I was concerned with considering what happened during the Q3Test (continuous strafe jumping was non-existent), however, I was not disappointed as it felt like its own style of moment in which Quake and Doom fans would be familiar with.

- djWHEAT: Game Broadcasters have the same desire and needs as a player. We want a game which showcases the talent of players while producing an entertaining game for spectators to watch. Over the past 3 years, this type of 1v1 game has been missing from major competitions... only Quake 3 (in my opinion) has filled this role. I believe this game will save the world. This is the 1v1 game that everyone has been waiting for. Looking at the bigger picture, I think it's evident that we'll see the pro's from every discipline try their hand at the newest version of Quake. I will expect to see Lauke vs. Cooller, and Vo0 vs. Toxic... this is a game which could easily pool 150 of the greatest gamers pro-gaming has ever seen.
