Quake 4 Reviews

Very good game. Solid shooter

Makes me wish Wolfenstein 09 comes back

good game,nothing to say at the least 8/10

DO NOT CHECK "FORCE AMBIENT LIGHT" IN SETTINGS, I SAY AGAIN, DO NOT CHECK "FORCE AMBIENT LIGHT" IN SETTINGS, here is the video i followed on how to fix the graphics issues so the textures load properly [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnG3QlWXQkU&list=WL&index=15&pp=gAQBiAQB] credits to AKA-Liam [/url]

What if Quake, but Doom 3? Pretty much it. Generic shooter, full of tropes that with hindsight are tired but for 2005 were top of the line. Not worth playing today unless you want a nostalgia trip or want to experience IdTech 4 without playing Doom 3. I wish ID would give Quake the Doom 2016/Eternal treatment. The Strogg are pretty cool. Probably would've been cooler and more well received if they weren't stitched onto Quake at the last minute, lol.

I like it follow on from Quake 2. Nothing new here linear but good fun never less . i'm using hi def textures Nvidia RTX4060.

Its a rail shooter like Area 51 in the arcades. Not at all a fast twitch exploration and puzzle solving experience that quake and quake 2 where. And half the time you are in some situation like riding an elevator in extra real time listening to stale space marine small talk. If this was a movie it would be a MST3K classic.

Pretty bland and generic, even by 2005 standards. Getting it to run on my machine has been a nightmare and I had to resort to autoexec and config tweaks just to make it look decent. Even then, the game looks graphically worse than Doom 3 on the original Xbox did which is baffling since it's the very same engine and devs. You're not missing much by skipping this and i can see why it was the death blow to Quake's relevancy. Cool monster designs and a certain cutscene was pretty gruesome, but there's not much else here, and Bethesda doesn't care about this game, and neither should you. Play Quake 2.

By no means a must play. Actually it's kind of painfully generic for a game carrying the Quake lineage. That being said, the visual/audio design is delightful. And I can't explain why, but I just really like the game engine, id Tech 3. Shame it didn't take off like Source or Unreal. Something uncanny about how the environments and people look makes me happy lol. I didn't hate my time with it, and the game actually gets a pulse for the last 1/3. I'd say this game is worth it if you are curious about id/Raven games. As always, wait for a sale.

Not recommended -No mods seem to work with Quake 4 now. Followed the install instructions and crashes after waiting to load for 3 minutes. Without mods the game works kind of. The performance isn't that great and always has low quality textures as default even with ultra quality selected. Never had these many issues when running an AM4 system. Too many hoops to jump through for Quake 4 to work properly. Perhaps id should roll out some official fixes.
