Some still prefer washed out look, but choice is a good thing. Thats the first thing I actually did in Q3 once decent skins came out, I actually upped the surrounding settings/textures to make it look like a game that could justify using the resources it did. Brightskins are a very good solution to people who want to play Q4 looking sexy but not being being impaired because they choose to do so. People whack their gamma and wash out their settings so they can see players (as well as fps help in some areas). Point is q4 isn't a camping/hiding game like some. Go do a screeny of a player coming through a darkened area and then say its 'visible'. If the skins are good (and see no reason why not if having proper designers doing them), then really I would see it make sense to have them as default but can be turned off in the menu.īrightskins aren't a stupid idea (unless they look bad). Sonic boom to all you fellow geeks out there!

Job done and we'll love you for it! (i know that is trivializing it, but you get the idea) Ideally, next time, make the engine, have a much bigger fps cap, decide how you want the physics to feel, tweak it all, design the maps (lots), make a nice netcode. (make it feel like q2 again! hah) Noone here could really care less about the single player game, and unfortunately that's what seems to make the development process take so long. I just hope that the real message that ID will take away from all this is that ID should develop the next quake game internally and just soley focus on the multiplayer, as we know you'll make a much better job of it. People in general slate Raven for the problems with quake4, but are more reassured when they see that ID are trying to rectify things. Key changes like this will hugely improve things in the eyes of the community, which is beneficial for ID too.įrom what people are saying lately syncerror, people are very happy that you as a staff member from ID are directly communicating with the community. Redo the colours on the ctf maps for the official point release to red and blue, and do this for the player models too.

I was just hoping that ID could rectify it. I am not implying that the amber and green colour scheme is ID's doing, i assumed it was Raven's.
