New Quake IV
 

Here is a hacked pic of Quake IV which is suppose to come out at the end of the year of 2004... Hope you like it if you haven't already seen it...http://www23.brinkster.com/somethingstupid/89.jpg

Sorry, but why is this in CG?

Link dosent work anyways

You have to copy and paste the link for it to work. Come on, the error message even tells you that. As for being in CG, I assume it's because the pic is a render of a model.

I believe it deserves to be in this forum, because of it awesomeness! (if that is even a word) Here is a fixed limk to the Quake IV leaked image.... http://www.villagephotos.com/viewimage.asp?id_=4575568
I got this onto a free image hoster sever so... Have fun!

Yes that is amazing... Only too bad is that the in game graphics won't be half as good :)

Yeah, renders are never examples of graphical prowess in-game.

who knows, maybe the graphics are that good. Planned release date is more then a year away(and im sure theyre gonna reschedule the release date a couple of times) so anything can happen, I mean just look at doom3 and HL 2...

undeadzombieguy... Unless they find some way to compress a huge load of shit and cram it into a 2cm^3 cube and then find some extreme cheap way of cooling. it won't happen. Most game engines don't even allow more than 100000 polies on the screen at once.... 1 of those smoothed ones are at LEAST 50,000

No offense to id, but I personally think Doom 3 looks shitty. Sure it's high poly but it's not clean, it's like a bump-mapping nightmare. It looks like complete ass in screenshots, but actually looks pretty good in-game ( hmm leaked alpha anyone? ) Half-Life 2, however, looks fucking amazing. Aside from a close-up shot of an alien with a weird bullet hole texture fuckup, the game looks downright beautiful.

The Doom III monster textures look rediculous.

Seen those flying heads??

WTF!

Actually... Doom III is just low poly they've just projected the high poly textured version onto the low poly as a displacement/bump map

I love doom 3's shadowing effects, but that's about it. The monsters remind me too much of resident evil.

shadowing effect? please elaborate in redundant detail
