Whats up quake lovers. This on is a tricky question wich one of the last two quake do you like the most? Quake 3 or Quake 4, of course the graphics and all that stuff its better in quake 4, in single player. BUt in multiplayer, wich buy the way i think is the main part of the game, i think quake 3 kicks quake 4 butt. lol I dont know what it is, but when a nice multiplayer game who became famous is updated with the new version, the same thing happends, they want to make the game more detailed and furutistic and at the end they end up making it worst. what is your opinion about this?

I would have to say the new graphics are definately awesome in quake 4 if you have a card that will allow you to use the graphics to the full but for me i have to slap almost everything right down to get any decent gameplay. And i definately agree with you that the quake3 mp is a hell of alot better to play but there is still only one game that really kills when it comes to mp that is unreal it is so cool !

Hmm Quake 2 was my first online-game, and still playin it
Quake 4 really has some awesome graphics and owns Quake 3 on that part, but Quake 3's gameplay beats Quake 4. They invested too much into the graphics, and neglected the gameplay part in it

Q3 hands down

Hmmm, Q4 has some sweet graphics I won't deny that... but I'd have to say Q3 OWNS Q4's gameplay by a mile....

I feel like they focused more on improving the way it LOOKS rather than the way it plays which is happening a lot with most games out there that get sequals

i agree with the Point the Q4 has worked more on the looks rather than gameplay.
But Q4 takes on from where Q2 had left.
so in some ways its good to see the story going.

yea i would also say quake 3 for that one reason. All these gaming companyies are starting to think the high graphics are going to sell these games. In some cases that might be true but they have to make a game with a good story and good gameplay if they really want it to be a great game. This is the one key element that is missing in some games which could make good games be amazing games.

Again, I would agree with all of you: quake 3's gameplay does outstrip quake 4's by quite some way: but the graphics on quake4 are still state of the art.
Since quake 3 was pretty much trying to challenge unreal tournament though (single "multiplayer" action) it does make this harder, since they aren't really the same game: rather they are only sharing the title and charachters: quake 3 isn't designed to have a plot which fits in anywhere with the other quakes...

However, quake 4 could claim to have a plot: timeline, which does make it different...

Overall though I think I would probably prefer quake 3: gameplay is so much more important then graphics in this sort of game, but....

If they could mix quake 4 graphics with quake 4 gameplay, then there is no doubt it would be a more awesome game....quake 5 anyone?

Quake 3 is much better than quake 4, quake 3 was a revolution of it's time and lead the way for all following first person shooters. The graphics of Quake 3 compared to Quake 4 now are way worse, but the gameplay of Quake 3 is still the standard that all games try to replicate. Both games' single player were pretty terrible, so at least there are still plenty of quake 3 gamers online, but it is hard to find a good quake 4 server.
