Quake 4 - what I would like to see!

[*Kornholio*]

I dunno... Serious Sam had places that make you jump a bit the first time you get to 'em... like when one of the skeleton dudes jumps outta the mist at you...

Anyway, to comment on the original post, Q4 gonna be a role-playing game ?? Not likely...

It's not really the sort of Brand ideally suited to Massively Multiplayer Persistent World type crap is it ?

It's not like the Quake games were strong on plot, or indeed, any kind of point Just kill things please.

It's definately being made by Raven according to www.computerandvideogames.com today.

Hi again! Soz for taken my time to reply to this.

As for Quake not being the right 'brand' to suit my idea, well I think such a change is needed otherwise it will just be a bog standard FPS with a few bells and whisles on it! Like Red Faction, Duke Nukem etc. etc.

But Quake has a well established online community! What i imagined was to bring that community out of messageboards and ICQ into a digital world. A place when clans can meet up 'face to face' outside of trying to frag each other, where they make their clan more powerful, by owning land, castles, towns. A bit like how organised crime works. If you are in a clan, imagine how cool it would be to own a huge gothic castle waving your clan's flag on the towers with all the clans possessions inside such as tresure looted from dungeons (Golden Railguns anyone??? ). Or even to gather with your clanmates and try to invade another clans property. Think how your clan could set rules for towns and how you could enforce those rules upon the poor souls who live there.

I could go on and on with all the cool things you could do!

And it doesn't have to be as slow-paced as say Ultima and Everquest. Look at Deus Ex and System Shock on how action and role playing can be fused together!

And i know there is Planetside and others which claim to do similar things but they don't sound as ambitious as this, just a bigger version of Tribes, although tell me if i'm wrong!

Come on people, Think!
