@@Absolynth I preferred Quake 4 compared to Doom 3, back then. Doom 3 really didn't feel like the classics. Something was missing and we had to wait for Doom 2016 and then Doom Eternal to have that kind of "spark" again. Doom Eternal, especially.
Quake 4 might not be the most creatively ambitious game, but IMO it's extremely underrated for 2 reasons. It's visual design & graphics for the time were incredible, it looks great in 4k on a modern display. Also the gun play is incredibly punchy and satisfying. A LOT of shooters lack impact in their basic mechanics, whereas I could replay Quake 4 dozens of times just based off of how good it feels to fire the weapons in this game.

Gun sounds, atmosphere, big ships and horror elements -> best Strogg Quake game out there. Some lighted scene look best I've ever seen even now in 2024 and no mods. I replay it every now and then :) ... and Strauss voiced over by one famous mafia type actor ;)
the shooters were so much better when gaming wasnt complete mainstream. now raven software only developes call of duty since years.😢 would live to see more badass SP shooters in the future, less good graphics, more good gameplay, AAA games are mostly so boring atm.
Quake 4 was epic when i first played it, i was too young to judge games on the things i would now, the game looked cool and i remember it shocking me when you get transformed....and that bit you fight your team leader later in the game...gave me chills. I miss gaming back in the day you just appreciated them more.
Yeah D3 was a good game but as far as games you enjoy to boot up and get a romp on, q4 was much better. More ammo, more enemies to shoot, more scenarios, the hate is not deserved.
@@bunkaaa8726well they’re too different games, Doom 3 is more horror oriented than Quake 4 which is more action oriented, both are great games in their own ways
@@mot8862 I'm very much aware they are two different games. They get constantly compared and people shit on Q4 for not being like D3 or Q1, hence why I'm talking about them.
this is the doom3 of the quake series, yeah cool graphics for its time but the gameplay was severly toned down compared to the rest of the quake games, if they remade this game using the doom eternal formula and added back the metal music it would be sick as F
Quake 4 without hardware audio with eax 4.0 support is just...incomplete😢 many people would be surprised how good it sounds, and how complex reverb effects are. Even today. Sound can bounce off wall from specific direction, or if sound source is located in different room, you hear it not directly through wall, but from door opening, or if there is obstruction between you and sound source- it's muffled. Now pair it with cmss headphone with elevation filter. ( You can hear sounds coming not only from rear or front, but even from up and down) and good headphones😊
@@UltramarineDad ah yes, woke, the second way of saying awake. P.S. When I said stop drinking beer, I was refering to quit saying stupid shit like "sWeEt BaBy InC LOL".
I love that you can clearly read the Strogg language from the beginning once you realize its just a character swap. Was a cool transition process when your brain was implanted. Credits roll watching the characters transition was when I went "Ooooh!" New game: "Yep, me can read it!" It's the little things.
@@kaczan3 To be fair you could in Quake 2 XD going into multiplayer options and picking your model also affected singleplayer's sounds. Could even play as a strogg yourself with it's own voice sounds.
Old games are great, hence why there has been all this "play your backlog" among gaming circles, many of us have tonnes of older games in our Steam library that deserve to be played and enjoyed.
Yeah and i'd argue Q3:Arena contributed to that as well. To me it always felt like they got onto the no-story multiplayer PvP mode and the story never came back...but I was wrong, I just never really heard much about this one..
I appreciate how the guy playing this is not the cocaine boosted sped up twitchy squirrel. Good game though, played it couple of times back then. Still not that many times as Quake 2 :)))
I beat this game on the hardest difficulty and I never had full health or full ammo in my weapon in the entire game. When I passed, I was worried how I would get through that part when all my weapons were taken away and I was left with a pistol.😂
Currently playing this on the 360 for the first time since it came out. I'm actually enjoying it a lot more than I remember. Though it could be that my favorite genre, single player first and third person shooters, just aren't made anymore and I'm enjoying a brand new experience since I can't remember anything from the first playthrough decades ago. Does anyone still love primarily f/tps single player games? Feels like I'm the only one that likes these games not for the multiplayer.
This is known as the Doom 3 engine, They perfected it in Quake 4. But on a side note, it's been confirmed that Doom and Quake both exist in the same universe.
I checked out and the mod is like 15gb (cause I guess today everything has to be upscaled to 4k) but damn can't believe how good this looks the work in shadows alone is impressive
This is amazing… I never played after Quake 1,2. Just tried a bit of Quake 3 but it was basically an arena shooter. I wish they would continue or remake a story based Quake now. Doom is ok but the lack of actual story in it just makes it feel incomplete…
Current version of this mod (3.3 - Sep, 23) is just placebo, you can check in the modDB comments. The textures clearly are still the originals, look how low-res everything is at 3:15. Only thing going on here is the Sikkmod shading.
Sieht sehr nach Doom 3 aus. Die haben einfach Elemente und Umgebungstexturen von Doom 3 genommen und es Quake 4 genannt. Sogar einige Karten abschnitte sind 1 zu 1 übernommen worden 😮 Tja Bedesda wusste schon immer wie man mit möglichst wenig Aufwand maximalen Profit erwirtschaftet
I haven't played this game since 2005. Maybe I should give it another go around. I played the crap out of Doom 3 and HL 2. Could just never get fully invested in this one.
1 question: did you got any loading problems/crashes, along with MOC report, when loading the medical labs, just after the fight with Macron? Myself and couple others are getting crashes just when the map is supposed to load and the cinematic starts
Not sure if anyone will see this comment, but I've played this game 15 years ago, once, and it stuck as a core memory forever. Only recently have I tried searching for it again, took me few months.
@@darthimperius8057 You can buy it on steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2210/Quake_4/ and on gog: www.gog.com/en/game/quake_4 and it is with microsoft gamepass: www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass
The engine wasn't really meant to stream this high of resolution of textures. Same thing happens with the Sikkmod, the engine kinda craps out on the framerate despite many newer games running better.
Thank the algorithm for recommending me this. So many memories.
why dont you replay it, you can play it on modern systems or do what I did and bild a windows xp pc
Doom3 has its divided audience but Q4 is just underrated imo.
Quake 4 is way better than Doom 3.

The game isn't as optimized as you think, even on high end PC.
Both are controverted and in my eyes underrated. Very different from the previous games but a lot of fun :)

Indeed. Well said. Miss those days
That team leader moment was inspired by the first prey (not sure which came out first - even that was a very good game).
Quake 4 is a underrated gem
I miss Raven. They were always so good and Kotick sent them to the Call of Duty mines.
But they still in the game, cuz they did BOCW capmaign at least
I got this game and put it aside for later when I'm not busy. That was like 15 years ago.
The stroggification scene is one of the macabre parts ever. Love it.
Shame that we never got Quake5 and know what with the cliffhanger ending.
Yeah, I think they have just forgotten about the franchise after Quake Champions died off pretty quick.
i liked quake 4 his gameplay level desing Story and gameplay much more then Doom 3

Hell no. This game was just so vanilla compared to D3.
Among the games I would actually want to see remade (not modded) with raytracing would be quake 4, doom 3 and unreal 1
Dude, it Matthew Kane. He a certified badass.
Don't know why all the negativity about this game I find it great and still holds up till this day. 😊
this is the doom3 of the quake series, yeah cool graphics for its time but the gameplay was severly toned down compared to the rest of the quake games, if they remade this game using the doom eternal formula and added back the metal music it would be sick as F

@@mindrover777 Made easier for players of the time, both Doom 3 and Quake 4 are quite easy and only being somewhat challenging on Hard mode.
Cool. I cant wait to play all these retros again once I get my 85inch.
Most memorable bit begins at 2:02:12 👽💉
Yes, one of. I guessed already that all this is only to get some upgrades, so did not worry much.
Thanks, the bit I wanted to see upscaled! 👍
Love this game played it not to long ago on steam brings back good old days in the 2000s.
I was very amazed when I first saw Hannibal landing and i really liked getting into it. Very nice design.
it's crazy how the graphics for quake 4 are good even today this is the game that needs the most a remaster

Great game! Q2 is one of my favorites, but this game is almost just on a par with it.
Exactly the same graphics of Doom3. Nice gameplay.
Same engine.
My first game for Xbox 360.
Yeah I had a HD projection in my living room. Lots of fun with this one. But it never got backwards compatibility on One or Series..
Man this game should've been on console EONS ago 😩
EPIC💥
What do you mean¿? it was on console... 360, or you mean specifically on ps?
@@DarkDemonXR No no, on current next gen consoles, particularly original XB1 WITH the same HD mod included😅!
That'd be SUH-WEET🍻✨
No it would not. @@gordonfreeman4341
The kind of game that Sweet Baby Inc could never make. Just good old fun.
Doom 3 and Quake 4 were so revolutionary but unfortunately between d3 and hl2, q4 got left by the way side
Yeah and i'd argue Q3:Arena contributed to that as well. To me it always felt like they got onto the no-story multiplayer PvP mode and the story never came back...but I was wrong, I just never really heard much about this one..
Badass game, pure action and incredible atmosphere. So many memories ❤
"Do him!"
- Strogg
I appreciate how the guy playing this is not the cocaine boosted sped up twitchy squirrel. Good game though, played it couple of times back then. Still not that many times as Quake 2 :)))
Came for the game, stayed for the badass combat music!
15 years ago he was the leader of Stroggs, now he is the president of France
I wish they still made games like this.
"Quake saga" is masterpiece of games
Looks great!
Thanks🙂
I didn't even know there was a high def version. This was very cool.
The intro is bad ass
The textures are similar of Doom 3, well done.
Good memories... Now I must admit that: as soon as the crosshair appeared at 3:09, I had the instinct to grab the mouse and put my hand on WASD keys.
Imagine a version of the Strogg in Helldivers 2 world
This game still look great. I hope new Quake game will come one day.
Man i wish Stroggs on Helldivers 2.
I was thinking the same Stroggs have a very creative design, it would fit well, maybe we got a little of the feeling with the Iluminati
Much better than i remember, playd on lo res low details at the time.
I beat this game on the hardest difficulty and I never had full health or full ammo in my weapon in the entire game. When I passed, I was worried how I would get through that part when all my weapons were taken away and I was left with a pistol.😂
3:08 .. was on fullscreen, watching it, suddenly pressed W and my mind didnt catched up that im just watching and not playing :D

Very nostalgic. Reminds me of Doom 3. Bit faster. Should bring it to mobile. We need something like this
It looks amazing with whatever mod you have used : )
01:02 this voice is classic
love to play this with an 8K Hdr rtx mod
A few small tweaks, like bloom, raytracing, improved shaders and highres textures and game looks better than many today.
Oh look! Loads of ammo and armour. That should make life easier!
If only quake 4 will be on Xbox one X especially Microsoft store that would be a dream come true because I play the S@#$ out of it.
