What's the latest on Quake4 - is Raven planning on making it a fully multiplayer-based game, like Q3, or are they just making another Doom3? God, I pray it will be MP.

I read an article somewhere recently that the guys at id have been playing Q4 multiplayer a lot. I believe Ravensoft is planning on having a playable demo at qcon as well. Rob

Both - the SP will be a direct sequel to Q2 (w00000t, Q2 is still the best game of all time :D) and the MP I suspect will be along a similar vein although Raven are under some kind of NDA so they can't tell us much about it :( -- -- There is no spoon.

I doubt it. Raven develops quite different SP games to id and I'm hoping the SP will be an evolution of Quake II's. -- -- There is no spoon.

Well, Q3 is cool. I like the lighting, colours etc. Makes everything nicely visible. Doom3 and Quake2 just are too, damn dark for online MP FPS games, IMO. Didn't Raven make Heretic and Hexen, btw?
