The trade off is art for framerate I guess...so i shouldn't complain too much.

Doom 3 uses less polies than UT2, probably because it has to render every poly once per light (plus one additional time to write the depth buffer...).
Looks fairly cool to me
I think I just spent my wad.
Q4 multiplayer should be nothing more than a graphical overhaul of Q2 multiplayer.
It's fucking Q3 all over again.
*sigh*
I prefer Q1 or Q2 gameplay. Regardless, Q4 could still be fun. I just won't be playing it years after its released.
sorry, but quake wars has my interest. quake 4 is looking like doom 3.1 for single player and quake 3.5 for multiplayer
I loved Quake 3 and deathmatches. This is really starting to get my interest.

Agreed. Newbie friendly? That's UT imo, not Quake (3).
Not until you get in to flick shooting and what-not does it become "non-newbish".

I was so afraid it was going to be like the Doom3 DM.
Shame the guy didnt show the railgun and that he didnt try to rocket/grenade jump or bunnyhop.

I'm sorry. But the gameplay elements that Q3 introduced are horrible. It makes it too newbie friendly and takes away the necesity to play the game to get better at it.

DITTO!
Although I will say I loved the hell out of RA3.
Hopefully there will be a RA4
Over all I really like where raven is taking it. Very cool stuff being shown here at qcon.
But the real sucky thing about quake2 DM is that you really had to know what you were doing when it came to finding a server, I hated trawling barrys on Gamespy etc to find somewhere to play.
For me QuakeIII introduced several awsome things to the mix:
* easier to make and install custom players
* find servers for a quick frag, inside the actual game!
* weapons were more interesting IMHO
QuakeIII was much more accessible to gamers in need of a quick frag than Quake2. (not to mention mod makers and budding player modellers.) Not that I'd in any way disrespect Quake2, just Quake4 looks to me like a perfect evoloution of the series.
(edit)
And I hope there's a tonne of room for us to make custom player models! Kick some life back into the scene.
EDIT: You know what I wish Raven and ID would do and what REALLY got me stoked to play Quake 3? They had the Demo/Beta open play BEFORE it was released. Thats what hooked me.
In fact one fo the reasons I never got Quake 2 back then was because it had no MP demo.
Oxy, in the QuakeconX vid they said activision is beta testing as well as the attendees.
Those vids make it look like Q4 is a real mixed bag, with DM being some extra thing not connected to the main game at all. Not that I'm complaining. I'll still buy a copy.
Fatality's an ass though for taking them out with the gauntlet. Now i still didn't get to see much of the new weapons
What, are you still living in 1999 when Counterstrike seemed like a good idea? These days we have games like Battlefield or UT 2004 where the vehicles do NOT suck!
