Which are changed according to the situation. A number of new and unique weapons are introduced which includes grenades, guns and many others.

The capabilities and skills increases as the player gets through various levels. A number of new movements of players are introduced in this version of game. You can download Doom 3 Game Free Download. Quake is going to be a bigger step over Doom than Doom was over Wolf3D! That aside, initial murmers suggest that Quake is indeed going to blow the lid off anything and everything due for release over the next 12 months, and will be a quantum leap over the original Doom. For starters, it's going to use a completely new engine it will use none of the code from Doom and it will be in be in true high-res 3D i.

It's also going to have a much more intricate player environment that will be totally externally programmable using a planar surface as opposed to lines and triggers and will be extremely modular -"Doom was just the tip of the iceberg. There's gonna be real physics in the game too - yep, we're talking gravity, "down is down" characters will tumble when they fall from height and can be knocked flat on their backs from a heavy blow and there will almost definitely be a multi-player link-up as well as a vr tie-in with a major manufacturer there's even talk of a special bundle.

To make sure it's entirely how they want it the guys at iD are doing it all themselves - even the soundcode. You will be "speaking into" the game world, so the closer you are to someone, the louder your voice is - and the monsters have ears too! And the plot? Well, let's just say it's set in a fantasy world where the player becomes a Thor-like character who wields a giant hammer.

He can use his tool to throw at or bludgeon anything and everything NICE! Other differences? So what kind of machine will you need to run this action-fest spectacular?

Well, nothing too far fetched by today's standards: iD maintains that "Quake will run well on a Pentium, but a is required. It's just a notch up from Doom's requirements - required, recommended. The game will be very much a multi-player experience, however, and there will be some sort of Quake start-up package for those who want to buy a Quake server.

As for speed, they won't know how it runs until they've sorted out the code, but it will be in a higher resolution than Doom. All this, of course, is just pure hearsay, but so what! Headsets, dragons, hammers and real-time physics?! Can't wait! It's coming! This Christmas. For months now, the Internet has been buzzing with rumour upon rumour upon rumour upon rumour of Quake news. Rumours of magic hammers. John Romero and Dave Taylor, Quake's programmers, have popped up on dwango the pan-US game server system and America On-Line sad CompuServe-type thing , dropping hints and then buggering off before anyone has a chance to ask them anything.

The basic through-line is that Quake will take the gamesplaying world by storm with a revolutionary 3D engine, revolutionary graphics and multi-player gameplay, revolutionary weapons and level architecture, and some other revolutionary-type stuff. Very much like er. Doom did, two years ago. Here's a summary of what to expect. Key words here are: gothic, shadowy, scary and "spooge". None as yet "Plot? Ha ha ha! Probably will be as cellophane-esque as Doom's.

Hopefully, will skirt the Vicky The Viking quest for the magic hammer type stuff, and just get down to destruction. Keywords here are: blood, guts, gore, intestines, steaming. In tune with the gothic surrounds. Dragon and knights as you can see on the screenshots as well as ghosts and witches. Not an awful lot of information on the armaments as yet; just that the main weapon will be a hammer of sorts to squish opponents heads.

The rocket launchers, shotguns, and plasma rifles that we've all learnt to love won't gel so well with the setting, but hopefully ID will avoid Heretic's crappy "wands" and "crossbows". Likely to be a "hellgate cube" - a kind of R-Type-style guardian, which floats about you and may change sides. There are definitely no spells.

Or trolls. Or pixies. Keywords: Heretic, Schmeretic. ID also plans to support VR headsets for a totally wrap-around Quake-o-rama. You will also, thank God, be able to strafe. Keywords: thank God, hurray. The screenshots say it all really. Mega shading, texture-mapping, parallaxed sky, light sourcing, shadows - all in real time, all in true 3D. The monsters and other players will be polygon-based so will, theoretically anyway, have Virtua Fighter-style animation.

Quake will also "probably" support some 3D accelerator cards such as the mythical Glint. Keyword: 'spooooooge'. Quake will support 3D surround sound and may have soundtracks by that legendary punk band.

Nine Inch Nails, and, oxymoron city, Thomas Dolby. Unconfirmed at this stage, although recent postings seem to indicate that there will be no music; just ambient sound effects such as screams and people gargling in their own blood. Keyword: Dolby, cool, and, last but not least, "spooge".

Here's the crunch. Dedicated Quake servers will pop up all around the world, allowing a "possible" too players in the same game "if the server can take it". Romero also promises that deathmatch will be as fast and frenetic as Doom's, but at the same time will demand more skills from the players to interact with the more complex geography. Modem play will be fully supported and there's also a possibility of cross-Internet games.

Quake will be fully customisable. All the maps and "entity forms" will be in easy-to-understand text files, with the graphics in standard. You'll also be able to design new monsters, new weapons, add new sounds, and create new levels "easily". Also, if you upload your new stuff to your local dedicated Quake server, every player online will have access to them.

Keywords here: cool, wow, fab, holey moley, not forgetting "spooge". Without doubt. Quake will be the gaming event of the year. Other games developers and gamesplayers alike are chewing their nails down to the wrist in anticipation. The screenshots look good. The rumours sound great. And the release date seems attainable. We can but wait. But let's leave the final words to Dave Taylor shall we? Then Doom came out and you spooged all over yourself again, only this time more.

OKAY, okay, we'veI been down on our knees in front of this game for months now. Nary has an issue of Zone gone by in the last year without some mention of Quake, or spooge, or some hideously sticky combination of both. We wanted you to share the vice-like anticipation which clenched our testicles, our incessant reciting of Football League Tables and the Lords Prayer, that stinging feeling, watering eyes, cold showers.

We just wanted you to share that with us. Now the wait is over. You've allocated a portion of your spooge reservoir for the shareware version. You've seen the bare bones of Quake - the engine, the weapons, monsters, the architecture. Now, we're here to tell you how much cooler, and better, and spankier the full version of Quake is. In traditional iD fashion, the registered version of Quake features extra monsters, extra weapons and bloody loads of extra levels - 47 in total.

Complete all these and you'll be granted access to the final level and a personal audience with Shub-Niggurath, the grisly gorelord of the Quake universe. And then to round everything off, there are six, monsterless deathmatch stadiums.

You've probably already experienced the joys ofi the first episode - the futuristic, grunt-packed SlipGate Complex, the malevolently convoluted Necropolis, the stunning Gloom Keep, and the twisted, nightmarish Door To Cthon.

The new levels take the glorious architecture and arcane deathtraps and expand them beyond anything you'd expect. Beyond anything you'd want to expect. Each episode starts in a futuristic space base, packed with shotgun-wielding grunts and laser-toting enforcers. Electricity hums in the background. The walls are grimy and stained with the salsa of recent bloodbaths. The fluorescent lighting flickers on and off. You think Doom, but then Doom didn't have underwater sewage systems, sons of bitches snipers on high, and the darkest scariest shadows in Christendom.

Tile second episode - The Realm Of Black Magic - comes from the highly warped skull of John Romero, the guy responsible for Doom's more esoteric moments. The world contains a range of castles, from the wiry, multi-layered medieval Ogre Citadel with its stained glass windows and sandstone walls to the Crypt Of Decay where you spend half the time drowning in the moat, and half the time suspended on parapets being pummelled by needle darts.

And dying. The penultimate level, Wizard's Manse, is a true work of art, a deadly spiral of walkways and bridges, gradually leading you by the spine further and further up to a massive confrontation with a bundle of fiends. The Netherworld has been designed by American McGee. Crazy name, crazy levels. In the Vaults Of Zinn every step is a trap. Every lift carries a hundred monsters.

Every monster carries a hundred grenades. This did not happen often but there were times that I would press the fire button and nothing would happen. Very lame. Okay, enough of the bad stuff. Lets talk about the cool stuff in the game. First off, this is one bloody and gory game. There are blood splats all over, decapitations and cries of pain. I am so glad to see Nintendo loosen up on their kiddy games only policy. It is nice to see some adult oriented games finally making their way on to this system.

I think that this is where the PSX really has a huge advantage on the N They have a large variety of games to suit gamers of all ages. I think Nintendo is finally doing a good job to lessen this gap. Anyway, there is not shortage of red stuff flying and splattering. I actually enjoyed the mission-based concept that the game uses. Instead of just going along, battling your way to freedom or saving the world, you have specific missions that need to be accomplished. While the missions usually revolved around finding this item or activating that item, I still liked the fact that there were clear-cut objectives that would change quite often.

I think this helped keep the game fresh because you never really knew what you were going to be asked to do next. What first person shooter would be complete without a host of kick-ass weapons? You will not be disappointed with the arsenal of weapons you will encounter in this game.

Early on in the game you will find the standard shotgun but the super shotgun is not too far behind. Both of these weapons pack some pretty decent firepower. From there, you will find the machine gun, chain gun, grenade launcher, rocket launcher, hyper blaster, rail gun and the BFG 10K.

There are not many wussy weapons as they all inflict some serious damage on the enemies. There is nothing that is quite as cool as using the BFG 10K. Trust me. For all of you multi-player hounds out there, Quake II packs a few different options for your fragging pleasure.

I personally don't like multi-player on consoles because you are on the same screen and all you have to do is look over and see what the other guy is doing come on, don't tell me you never do that.

But for those of you who still like it, here are your options. First, you have the standard death match. This is the good old faithful of multi-player gaming with eight different arenas to play in. Go out there and kick some ass and try to survive. The next mode available is called Fragteams. This is similar to the death match, only you can be on teams. You can play two on two, two on one, or three on one. Bottom line is that if they ain't on your team, start shooting.

The third mode available is called Flagwars. This is basically capture the flag and the objective is to get your opponents flag and bring it back to your base without dying. Sounds easy enough, right? Finally, there is Deathtag. This has you grabbing a flag and trying to keep a hold of it as long as you can.

If you don't have the flag, try to kill the guy with the flag. The longer you hold the flag, the better your score. Remember what I told you at the beginning? It took me a while to adjust down my expectations of graphics. I have gotten so used to the like of Half-Life and Unreal that when I first started up this game, I was appalled by how bad it looked.

Then I had to take a step back and remember that I was comparing two separate mediums and that was not fair to the N64 to compare it with Voodoo 3 on a PII Once I reminded myself that this was not a PC game, I found the graphics to be pretty decent. The characters were a bit blocky and the blood splattering was unrealistic looking because it was too symmetrical it looked like perfect circles of blood.

Other than this, the worlds all looked pretty good. By the way, the game supports the RAM pak so if you don't have one already, I suggest you go out and pick one up. One last comment on the audio.

I normally don't talk about audio unless it is really good or really bad and in this case, there was something that was bad. I was really disappointed in some of the sounds from the weapons. The machine gun in particular sounds like popcorn popping. It is hard to be a bad-ass when your gun sounds like jiffy-pop. If you are big into first person shooters then you should enjoy this game.

I think I had higher expectations because I know Id is renowned for awesome games. I wish it was possible to save in the middle of the missions or at least have check points because there was more than one occasion where I had to motivate myself to start a level over. I think people who enjoy multi-player on a console should have hours of fragging fun. Just remember to repeat "this is not a PC game" and you should be fine.

Along time ago Quake was supposed to come to the PlayStation but never appeared. It's no surprise really, considering how intense Quake's graphics are with all of those fancy polygons and effects. Yeah, the PlayStation is a powerful machine but it's not that powerful--is it? So what's the focus of all of these companies working together to make one product?

So what we are doing with Quake II is taking the existing levels Most everybody involved with the project prior to Hammerhead's submission thought any Quake game on the PlayStation would be extremely difficult--if not impossible. From what we've seen so far, Hammerhead is doing Quake II incredible justice--with a speedy 30 fps frame-rate, x resolution, great-looking levels, incredible mobile-lighting effects which means when you shoot a bright weapon down a dark hallway, the walls, floor and ceiling light up as the shot travels down the hallway , a good number of polygons and most importantly a two- to four-player splitscreen Deathmatch Mode yes!

In fact, the only thing lacking in the revision of the game Activision recently showed are enemies. They are in there mind you, and there will be more implemented as development progresses, but in this EARLY revision there weren't many bad guys around.

The finished version of Quake II will have levels and around six deathmatch arenas. In addition, the game will have all of the enemies and 10 weapons from the PC version or maybe new weapons if they decide to change them. What's different in the PlayStation version? Since the PS has memory limitations when compared to a PC, some levels may have to be smaller or split into two medium-sized areas in order to fit them into RAM. Also, there should be unique four-player deathmatch maps for the PS version, possibly a new monster or two maybe a Boss or sub-Bosses and Dual Shock support.

Although it's not set in stone, the Dual Shock will allow for a "mouse look" control scheme where one analog knob controls where you're aiming while the other controls where you're moving similar to GoldenEye and some PC first-person shooters.

One interesting feature Hammerhead will add if it doesn't adversely affect gameplay or the frame-rate are bots. In case you're not familiar with what bots are, they essentially allow you to get into some multiplayer action without your sweaty friends being around.

PlayStation Magazine--with Lara Croft on the cover--for an in-depth feature on the game with a whole lot of info. Hammerhead has done an unbelievable job translating the PC game's visuals. The colored lighting's all there.

The animation's all there. They even added lens-flare effects. The whole package moves at a plenty-smooth 30 frames per second. Better still, the developers have gone beyond the call of duty to accommodate every control style you could want.

Add to the general ambience a much more up-tempo soundtrack, and the gloominess of the original Quake is profitably altered. Windows 95 or NT 4. Quake II is the new reigning champion of 3D action gaming, period. There is not another title out there right now that can compare in terms of exploiting 3D technology, delivering incredibly solid AI and level design, and making the total gaming experience immersive, pulse-pounding, and sometimes downright frightening. Quake II gets multiplayer support down solid and reduces Internet latency to a minimum; id shows here once more why they have always been and continue to be the masters of the first-person shooter that they almost single-handedly invented, nurtured, and sustained.

Over the years since Wolfenstein 3D , their competition has steadily grown, innovated and upped the ante, but they have never been able to overtake or outshine id's creations, and with Quake II that remains the case.

Quake remains one of the most popular video games that was ever released. Quake 1 was released in and because of its instant success the developers released Quake 2 the next year in which became even much more popular. Quake 3 came out a few years later, but the legendary popularity of Quake 2 stayed unchallenged. All Reviews:. Popular user-defined tags for this product:. Is this game relevant to you?
