Painkiller owns Quake games and will most likely give Q4 a hard time.This game needs a really good computer so b4 you buy it get 512 ram 128mb video card or higher a DSL or higher connection a p4 something like that because this runs wild.I have 128mb video card 256 ram and p4 and dsl 512k but it still runs slow so get 512k ram higher then 128 mb video card cable or the highest dsl.

I don't understand?

What are the min specs for Q4? And i wasn't even aware there was that much info out related to what sort of focus its going to have. ie, Singleplayer or Multi.

The only problem that Q4 will have with painkiller is that a lot of people will die from boredom playing painkiller before q4 comes out.

Yeh true.Dr.War Q4 specs will be high same with Painkiller as Painkiller is a new released game and Q4 is still coming for this X-mas.Don't you understand that games are going to have to have the best performence , since it is near year 2005 and the technolgy is here my friend.

What the f***, q4 isn't coming end of this X-mas. For god sake, its just been released and confirmed that Doom 3 is coming to US on 5th August.

Euuhhhh Q4 ... not by end of next year more likely.
And uhhhh as if Painkiller will give any mere challenge to Q4. Note quake 4 is still in developement, using Doom 3 engine.

Think befoer you post, and base your facts properly.

MrXes it was official it is coming out this X-mas you *** so shut up and don't try to turn this into a D3 post.It's not like the stupid HL2 release dates that dont happen and they lay it back 4 - 5 years your a total n00b MrXes go play barbie.

sharpz, I don't often do this: you are an idiot. Painkiller's community is small already, and will most likely die within a short time anyway. It is indeed a good game, but Quake 4 will automatically sell many many more copies due to brand name recognition. Next time you insult someone you may want to have a coherant argument by the way.

There is no official release date.

Similarly, there is no mention of Quake 4 being released this fiscal year (ending April 2005).

Amazon are pimping December 31 2004.

Amazon are also saying that Duke Nukem Forever will be out on the same date.

^^^^^^

hmm yeh Painkiller is a good old school shooter and runs pretty good on older comps (i ran it wit a geforce 2!) but it gets boring quickly.. lol Duke Nukem Forever hahaha.. thats been in production for yonks now

painkillers not going to give ANYTHING a hard time. Painkiller is complete rubbish, i myself was bored of it within the first 60 enemies i killed one after the other. all it did was make my finger numb.

Sharpz is so lost he couldn't find the other side of the street. Dont doubt for a second that quake 4 will crush painkiller. hell, in terms of gameplay quake 1 killed painkiller. and it sparked a revolution. what did painkiller for anyone?

Last i heard Quake 4 was being developed by Raven using the D3 engine and may be out by end of 2005. From what i recall either John Carmack or Raven stated that they will be using the D3 engine for Q4 as the Q3 engine is too old and is incapable of doing what they had in mind. I guess atm its all speculation.I'll just wait to hear the official word.

q4?

do tell...

q3 was soooo rad!

lol it also reminds me when the top GPU on the market was geforce2, how times change.

you cannot compare pk with q4, essentially they are both different games. and as far as i'm concerned PK is still in beta, the game is still flaky as a whole.

and q3 still has a fairly big community in aus

Still in beta? Coulda fooled me. Plays completely fine to me. If you're referring to the "lag", that can easily be overcome with a single console command.

Prince Night this game is not meant to be some complex story-based game. It's an old school shooter like Doom 1/2 and more recently like Serious Sam. It doesn't require any thought, just blasting as much as you can. Some people find it a much needed break from slow paced "realism" games. I myself find it fun.

i said it's flaky, i didn't say anything about lag, don't make assumptions.

mrxes how do you know Q4 is using the doom3 engine? It's not even being made by iD. Raven are making it and will probably use their own engine for the game with some iD technology. I only hope it has proper singleplayer unlike Q3.

it's supposed to be a follow on from q2's sp

quake4 will eat painkiller, **** it out, **** on its ****, and then spit on its ****

PK MP is just a ripoff of QuakeWorld

hi guyz

this thred is funny piece of history, i think Q4 probably did sell better but was forgotten quickly, Painkiller ended up being used for CPL World Tour

now Painkiller is cult game, i liked Q4 too but funny thing

Painkiller was good on Xbox but Q4 feel wrong on Xbox 360, much better on PC

Repping that 124mb VRAM.
