It is the middle one.

Member Drew and I use to play this game for hours online.
We got it and the Original Unreal Tournament at the same time.
Two great old games.

 

i wish i had a computer that was powerful enough to play it...

 

I will have to yank out my ATI 9600 Pro, as it struggles with Doom 3 at anything higher than 640 x 480 res in the game.
That is the only game I have to crank down from 1024 x 768.
I believe Quake IV will be using the Doom III engine.

I plan on getting the ATI X800 XL which is on par with the NVIDIA 6800 GT, but cheaper in price.

 

i was kinda hoping quake 4 was gonna be like 1 or 2. It seems more, doom like.

I got a copy of quake 1 from somewhere and it took me about an hour to get it too work on a newer machine. The whole glquake thing was a problem, I eventually got it sorted out using d3dquake. Anyway, I forgot how much fun that game was. The sounds and feel of them game. Its just great.

I dont think quake 4 will provide the same playing experience, to me anyway.

I got doom 3 for the xbox. I played through it once now I'm done with it. Quake and the orginal doom's I could play over and over and over again, hell I'm still playing quake 1 now.

Graphics look good though....
