Quake IV Screenshots

[Dec 27, 2004, 10:20 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The first officially released Quake IV screenshots can be found in an article called Looking Ahead to 2005 on Yahoo! Games Domain (thanks DemoNews.de) where they show off a couple of images from the upcoming DOOM 3-engine project along with a summary of how the plot picks up after the conclusion of Quake II courtesy of Raven's Eric Biessman:

After destroying the Strogg's collective brain and leader -- the Makron -- the Strogg have quickly regrouped under a new and more powerful Makron. However, with the Strogg's planetary defenses still destroyed, Earth's forces can deliver a full and final assault. This time you're not alone. An army of soldiers are fighting with you and an arsenal of weapons and vehicles are at your disposal. Quake IV delivers you deeper into the heart of Stroggos

Exactly. Doom3 can do it. Hell, Quake3 might be able to even do it. A few simple engine additions will get the same effect (mostly thinking of vis distance) It's not an advancement at all. It's just a creative use of mostly existing technology, with a few things in the background supporting it. Of course, if Valve just left it at that, I wouldn't be making this post, however all the cries of "3D Skyboxes are revolutionary!" is just ignorant.
