They're basically baby ID. I mean they were so good that ID let them make a mainline Quake game AND a Wolfenstein game. Then they made Singularity which basically was Wolfenstein, but with Commies this time
@@protocetid Incorrect. Facts and oversimplification are completely different things. He said it was a good game but because it was different it deserved hate. That's literally his words 1:1. It's an incredibly stupid mindset. Don't start using phrases you don't understand yet.
I also really enjoyed the game, but haven´t played it in many years. Fun fact: The german version was extremly censored. For example the whole operation scene was cut out. So you get knocked out, get rescued and when you see yourself in the mirror you´re just suddenly an alien. It was bad.
@Agent 005 No real reason behind it, I am from germany and in the past the censorship in games was immense! For example in Soldier of Fortune 2 every enemy was replaced with a robot and even the story was changed, so that the robots would "make sense".
@@guguce28 it's nore like a fix for the pioneering of doom...doom was used to pioneer the tech to a level wolfenstein didn't try yet and wuake mastered it always...like return to cast. Wolfenstein than D3 than Q4... same as whit 2.5 d games...
@Agent 005 eh, who knows, maybe after Doom Eternal has it's support cycle ended, maybe iD will give this one a try. Collab with Splash Damage for multiplayer, call in Nine Inch Nails again for the sound and music, and you have the perfect recipe for a Quakeback
Quake 4 is one of my favorite FPS's and I am always genuinely disappointed at how much of a negative reception it still gets to this day for being "generic". It has a really satisfying core gameplay loop and it gets progressively better as it goes on. Once you get to the last 3rd and unlock the shotgun with a magazine it's at its peak. I genuinely prefer it to Doom 3.
This was my first 360 game when I was in middle school, loved the campaign and I remember how the gore always made me want to shut it off but I got used to it. I played Quake 2 on the PC when I was younger but never got to experience the multiplayer until this one. Played it again just recently and I've been silently hoping that with the recent reboots of Doom and Wolfenstein that Quake will get the same treatment. I mean this game was literally left wide open to a sequel, I've always wondered since the 6th grade how playing as kane in Quake 5 would be like. With Quake champions shitting the bed, I don't think we'll ever find out.
Playing through as we speak. I love this game and I wish they’d make another story driven quake Now that doom has wrapped up (for now) I think it’d be a great time to revive quake
My dad and I always adored Quake 4, playing multiplayer with the next door neighbour shouting out the window to communicate, while jumping around with rail guns trying to hit each other for hours on end, the good times this game gave will always hold a special place in my heart
>video title about how Quake 4 didn't deserve the hate Aight, got my attention >PS1 startup sound at the beginning I'd like to inform you that I am clicking those Like and Subscribe buttons, good sir.
I played Quake 4 when I was 5 (and replayed it when I was 8, thanks big brother). It was my favorite game at the time and I thought it was very scary, I even had a nightmare about it. I still have a nice memory from playing it on a cold winter all cozy and seeing the flying dwarfs fucking the corpses. good times, great nostalgia I had when I replayed it a few months ago
By far a fantastic traumatizing experience, if that makes sense. I've never been too bugged out by wanton gore, but Quake IV is still a game that gives me a thousand meter stare time to time. There's really not many horror games that can do that to a person.
I remember this actually being the first Quake game I ever played years back on the 360 and surprisingly part of the reason it's pretty easy to get a 360 copy is cause Bethesda did a rerelease of that version a year after it hit Steam (though it doesn't come with the 360 port of Quake 2 like the Activision release did). And noting on the amount of hate Quake 4 gets, some people despise it so much that they say it killed the franchise (despite Quake Wars and Quake Champions coming out).
Hmm... I'm honestly curious what would Jarek think about this one little game called 'Bedlam'. That game where you travel through history of FPS games.
Dude Quake 4 was awesome! I love this game I still have the game disc for my xbox 360. This game was one my first introduction to ID software & Raven software games. It blows my mind that people hated this game.
Also @JarekTheGamingDragon are you able to do tom clancys rogue spear? I remember spending countless hours on that game in single player and multiplayer up until something lime 2006/7 with a large moding community. Another game along those lines of developer/publisher going down the tubes was Delta Force.
Great vid as usual, I almost forgot about this one. Have you already checked out the Starship Troopers game? It's probably not very good but as a fan of the film when I was younger, I used to like it haha (and it's probably abandonware now)
This was one of my earliest games I played on the 360 and I remember hearing about the hate against it and never understood why. I enjoyed it since I played the first two (via N64. Hadn't played the PC verions yet). So yeah there's that. On a side note I did play the Quake II copy it came with.
This game and Return to Castle Wolfenstein are the 2 games that got me so scared as a kid I had to make my dad play them and I just sat there and watched lmao
Me too.. if you are on PC, get the 4x ai upscaled textures mod from moddb .. they look excellent. Also use reshade for color correction and ambient occlusion and the game looks amazing. Peace
I'm starting to get jealous of your ability to beat games. I just keep getting distracted by another game I want to play whenever I try to beat a game to the point that my PC is almost full and just can't get myself to finish one. I can't even muster the energy anymore to turn on my PC. It's like some kind of gaming anxiety.
Hey, friend. I can understand you. There are always so many good offers, that we keep buying and buying. But i stopped that someday. I told myself that the games will become cheap again someday, but in the next summer or winter sale it will be even cheaper. I started to finish my "old" games and stopped buying new games. My newest game is from January 2018 and there are still more than 100 unplayed games in my library. Today i only buy games when they are absolutely classics and really really cheap. There is no reason to buy more than 3 "tripple a" games per year, if there are still so many good games like quake 4 from 2005 waiting for you. Today i ordered black and white 2 at amazon for 1,50€ but thats because this game has a special place in my heart. Both games came out arround 2004/2005 and both still have amazing graphics.
nice video! i don't get all the criticism on this game... i always found it great! have you ever played the new shadow warrior games? i prefer the first over the second, but they're both really fun
Played it last year, and really had a bang. Especially the first half of the game was pretty climatic, almost felt like playing Verhoeven 'Starship Troopers'.
Up until Q4 my favorite singleplayer-oriented Quake was Q2, which made me like Q4 even more for being a sequel to that game. At the time I thought it was much better than Doom 3, since you already started right into the action and there was even some vehicle/mech levels (which I also thought that were amazing, TBH). Enemy designs were incredible and the arsenal was deadly and efficient (at least there was actual flashlights on some weapons, too).
I think the game overall is good, not too bad and not too great. For me, it feels like a Doom 3 standalone expansion rather than a Quake game, Which is why somebody might not like it, but it’s not a bad game per se.
Despite sci-fi shooters being my favorite genre I'm surprised the only experience I have with the quake series is quake 4's demo on 360, game still looks as fun as I can remember. Need to actually buy this one
I remember when this came out. There was the inherit coolness from seeing an old school property, realized as a new school game. My only major criticism, was that I hoped it would be like a Quake universe COD (this was back when that franchise introduced Friendly AI for battles) but they didn’t commit to that despite insisting it was some big invasion in a interplanetary war. Instead Quake Wars happened and I’m still not sure what that was about 🤔
Got this for 4 bucks at Big Lots and play it at least once a year. That texture issue patch also makes a big fix to frame rate problems so I highly recommend it.
Quake4 is hated? It is like a sister game to Doom 3 with many enjoyable additions and I love it. Raven showed their talent yet again with that game but as with many of Raven's games, Quake4 was also sadly forgotten.
Awesome game! The art style could have been better, I much preferred the take they had in Quake Wars for the earth forces and the strogg (DAT lighting gun), but the gameplay and level design and the sense of dread given by the fact you are fighting an enemy that doesn't simply want to kill you, it wants to assimilate you, are fantastic.
Dont care what anyone says I enjoyed quake 4 and dont get the hate for it either. it's a solid old school shooter done in the Doom 3 engine. It's not as old school as quake 1 or 2 but it's it's own game with it's own unique feeling and I enjoyed it. And the story is pretty good if you pay attention to it.
I loved the storyline to be honest. It basically was just a follow up to Quake 2. It didn't need to have a super complicated and in-depth story line. It's basically just a war against a race that threatens Earth and other worlds' survival. And the gunplay I enjoyed very much as well. It wasn't ground breaking and I think that's what people want....every subsequint game has to be ground breaking for some reason.
As you alluded to i think because the game lacked an obvious hook people aren't interested in it, the hook in Doom 3 is obvious, it's dark and scary and even now there aren't many games like it, then Quake 4 comes along and is just a really solid enjoyable shooter and didn't stand out to people, besides that stroggification sequence :P. Another example, i got the game for christmas along with FEAR and COD2, everyone was talking about FEAR at the time it was really impressive and scary, i loved COD2 for its explosive fast paced WW2 action and awesome multiplayer, then there was Quake 4 which, at the time, i didn't really get on with. Fast forward i replayed it a few years ago and i love it, no one makes games like this anymore, in a world where COD and BF are pretty much the only shooters you're lucky if you even get a campaign in those, DOOM came and broke up the tedium a bit, but if you're looking for a single player shooter campaign to heal your soul Quake 4's got your back.
I think a lot of the hate was from people who were expecting a game more like Q3A or maybe even Quake 1, to this day I still want a proper sequel to Q1 but it didn't stop me from enjoying Q4, it is a solid game, the strogg transformation scene was sick.
I replayed Quake 1, 2, and 4 recently and 4 is still a lot of fun to me personally. Kinda sucks the game ends on a cliffhanger and since then we've gotten no Quake game with a campaign as Enemy Territory and Champions are solely multiplayer focused like Quake 3. I get for some people the multiplayer is the only part of Quake they cared about (especially given id in the 90s heavily promoted that aspect especially, I even recall John Carmack giving away a Ferrari at a Quake tourney), but I personally found the campaigns in 1, 2, and 4 all really well made and hope one day id or at least a developer they trust can make a Doom 2016 sort of new Quake that has a really fun single player campaign.
Weird I just beat this game for the first time a few months ago and then you used the music of one of the games I'm currently playing for it. Rise of the Triad is a pretty good shooter so far. Just am stuck in a blade room currently. I was surprised with how much I liked Quake 4. I didn't mind the vehicle segments, but the pre-strogification movement was way too slow for me.
Quake 4 and halo were one of the first games I ever played and halo 2 and 3 bioshock and quake 4 are some of my favorite games ever …it was so scary and cool and just so interesting…tbh I thought it was a halo game for a long time
I bought this used just for the included X360 port of Quake 2, but I'll probably play it eventually. Never had any interest in Quake 4 when it was released - I think I was still furious about Quake 3 not having a single player story (a fact that dawned on me AFTER buying and installing it) - but I think I'm finally somewhat calm now... 20years later.
Quake 4 is a great game and my favourite Quake campaign. It fills me with dread about what humanity could turn into, which I think is more horrifying or in a way more "lovecraftian" than shooting tentacle monsters which I think the haters wanted.
I love quake 4 the shooting in the game is so satisfying, I think I got all the achievements for it on Xbox. I just wish that someday we get a sequel to the original quake like quake 4 does to quake 2.
Thank you for making a video about Quake 4 I have been waiting someone to make a video like this I have been playing Doom 3 for a long time since my early childhood age by the way it was released on August 3, 2004 on the PC 1 year 2 months and 15 days later Quake 4 came out to PC on October 18, 2005 which its 14 months and 15 days or 441 days. This was the best video game I ever played since I was 10 years old since 4th Grade back in the year 2011. I heard about this back in the 2009 which it is the late 2000s when I was in 3rd Grade of Elementary School after turning 9 years old or New Year's Day 2010 When the decade 2000s was going to end the That video game came out on October 18, 2005 the day of my birthday when I turned 5 years old that day and I told my dad since it came out that year which I never heard about it I wanted to buy and play it that day back in those old days when video games were good nowadays there all expensive garbage and waste of money when Quake IV came out in 2005 was $20 US Dollars which they were good prices those days I still play video games from that year they were the best ones ever since I was in Pre-School time flies and escapes I rather invent a time machine and a time portal in the future to back to this year Music was good that year video games too! UA-cam also came out which its 14 years old and it will turn 15 on February 14 2020 This is one of my favorite FPS video games ever still the best video game ever made in the whole world thanks a lot to ID Software and Raven Software for making this visoe game I love it a trillion!
This game was amazing and if you want to play a classic quake experience this game has a pretty awesome multiplayer with fast movement and all that arena stuff we love of quake.
I actually liked the game, also the ,,upgrades,, were cool ( getting the strog body, and then the weapons upgrades - they could do moře with it ) i kinda hope for quake 5

One thing that's good about Quake 4 is that it has an actual campaign.

Truth be told, the machine gun was what got me hooked. It's single shot mode is amazing and the scoping was icing on the cake.
I remember that level when the Strogg capture you and cut off your limbs and put Strogg parts inside you. Still bonechilling to this day.

The art style could have been better, I much preferred the take they had in Quake Wars for the earth forces and the strogg (DAT lighting gun), but the gameplay and level design and the sense of dread given by the fact you are fighting an enemy that doesn't simply want to kill you, it wants to assimilate you, are fantastic.
Dont care what anyone says I enjoyed quake 4 and dont get the hate for it either. it's a solid old school shooter done in the Doom 3 engine. It's not as old school as quake 1 or 2 but it's it's own game with it's own unique feeling and I enjoyed it. And the story is pretty good if you pay attention to it.
WHAT'S THE NAME OF THESE AMAZING SOUNDTRACKS IN THE BACKGROUND?
I loved the storyline to be honest. It basically was just a follow up to Quake 2. It didn't need to have a super complicated and in-depth story line. It's basically just a war against a race that threatens Earth and other worlds' survival. And the gunplay I enjoyed very much as well. It wasn't ground breaking and I think that's what people want....every subsequint game has to be ground breaking for some reason.
As you alluded to i think because the game lacked an obvious hook people aren't interested in it, the hook in Doom 3 is obvious, it's dark and scary and even now there aren't many games like it, then Quake 4 comes along and is just a really solid enjoyable shooter and didn't stand out to people, besides that stroggification sequence :P.
Another example, i got the game for christmas along with FEAR and COD2, everyone was talking about FEAR at the time it was really impressive and scary, i loved COD2 for its explosive fast paced WW2 action and awesome multiplayer, then there was Quake 4 which, at the time, i didn't really get on with.
Fast forward i replayed it a few years ago and i love it, no one makes games like this anymore, in a world where COD and BF are pretty much the only shooters you're lucky if you even get a campaign in those, DOOM came and broke up the tedium a bit, but if you're looking for a single player shooter campaign to heal your soul Quake 4's got your back.
What's thet soundtracks in the back ground?
I think a lot of the hate was from people who were expecting a game more like Q3A or maybe even Quake 1, to this day I still want a proper sequel to Q1 but it didn't stop me from enjoying Q4, it is a solid game, the strogg transformation scene was sick.
I replayed Quake 1, 2, and 4 recently and 4 is still a lot of fun to me personally. Kinda sucks the game ends on a cliffhanger and since then we've gotten no Quake game with a campaign as Enemy Territory and Champions are solely multiplayer focused like Quake 3. I get for some people the multiplayer is the only part of Quake they cared about (especially given id in the 90s heavily promoted that aspect especially, I even recall John Carmack giving away a Ferrari at a Quake tourney), but I personally found the campaigns in 1, 2, and 4 all really well made and hope one day id or at least a developer they trust can make a Doom 2016 sort of new Quake that has a really fun single player campaign.
Weird I just beat this game for the first time a few months ago and then you used the music of one of the games I'm currently playing for it. Rise of the Triad is a pretty good shooter so far. Just am stuck in a blade room currently. I was surprised with how much I liked Quake 4. I didn't mind the vehicle segments, but the pre-strogification movement was way too slow for me.
Quake 4 was my first arena fps. I loved it
quake 4 is not a bad game. it got the doom 3 treatment.
Quake 4 has one of my favorite video game shotguns.
Quake 4 and halo were one of the first games I ever played and halo 2 and 3 bioshock and quake 4 are some of my favorite games ever …it was so scary and cool and just so interesting…tbh I thought it was a halo game for a long time
Great Analysis Jarek, but what's next?
...TimeSplitters 2? It's in the video?
Always wondering why stroggs everytime when see me screams CLITOOOR or CLITAAAR. It was so fun. Ah nostalgia.
What mistakes with doom 3?
I bought this used just for the included X360 port of Quake 2, but I'll probably play it eventually. Never had any interest in Quake 4 when it was released - I think I was still furious about Quake 3 not having a single player story (a fact that dawned on me AFTER buying and installing it) - but I think I'm finally somewhat calm now... 20years later.
Played with ambient lighting for more fos, didn't knew it was this bad.
Does this game have offline bot matches like Quale 3 on ps2?
I hope raven software will get to make their own game one day. Such a great studio.
Quake 4 is an amazing game. And for it' s age it looks fantastic.
Quake 4 is a great game and my favourite Quake campaign. It fills me with dread about what humanity could turn into, which I think is more horrifying or in a way more "lovecraftian" than shooting tentacle monsters which I think the haters wanted.
I’m playing it now for the first time and it’s a lot of fun. If you love fps games on pc definitely play it.
I love quake 4 the shooting in the game is so satisfying, I think I got all the achievements for it on Xbox. I just wish that someday we get a sequel to the original quake like quake 4 does to quake 2.
whats the song in the background?
Thank you for making a video about Quake 4 I have been waiting someone to make a video like this I have been playing Doom 3 for a long time since my early childhood age by the way it was released on August 3, 2004 on the PC 1 year 2 months and 15 days later Quake 4 came out to PC on October 18, 2005 which its 14 months and 15 days or 441 days. This was the best video game I ever played since I was 10 years old since 4th Grade back in the year 2011. I heard about this back in the 2009 which it is the late 2000s when I was in 3rd Grade of Elementary School after turning 9 years old or New Year's Day 2010 When the decade 2000s was going to end the That video game came out on October 18, 2005 the day of my birthday when I turned 5 years old that day and I told my dad since it came out that year which I never heard about it I wanted to buy and play it that day back in those old days when video games were good nowadays there all expensive garbage and waste of money when Quake IV came out in 2005 was $20 US Dollars which they were good prices those days I still play video games from that year they were the best ones ever since I was in Pre-School time flies and escapes I rather invent a time machine and a time portal in the future to back to this year Music was good that year video games too! UA-cam also came out which its 14 years old and it will turn 15 on February 14 2020 This is one of my favorite FPS video games ever still the best video game ever made in the whole world thanks a lot to ID Software and Raven Software for making this visoe game I love it a trillion!
This game was amazing and if you want to play a classic quake experience this game has a pretty awesome multiplayer with fast movement and all that arena stuff we love of quake.
What is the background song, it sounds banger
Quake 4 was my first game on my Xbox 360 and is still in my top 10 to this day
I actually liked the game, also the ,,upgrades,, were cool ( getting the strog body, and then the weapons upgrades - they could do moře with it ) i kinda hope for quake 5
