cool screens, but a 56K warning would generally be used, or a link

i can't wait for this game... apparently it has 5GB of textures or something stupid like that :eek:

Yes its coming.

It hasnt been officially announced yet. The developers have said it would be stupid to not have it come to consoles. So PS3 and Xbox 360 but after the pc version is out.

Call me a crazy arse gamer with a big mouth, but i'm not impressed with the graphics. Well not atleast in the first shot anyway. I expect those graphics from Doom III.
Where's all the games that will take advantage of those idle 2 SLi 7800GTXs and 2 Crossfire x1800XTPEs?

We need beef damn them!

tbh its best (in my view) to make the PC game THEN port it over to the consols

Some of the design decisions do sound console friendly to me. Like the maps being designed around 24-32 players as thats the 'sweet spot'. Which is what Battlefield 2 Modern Combat does.

I think the 24 players thing has them ready for consoles. BF2 in comparison has 64 player designed maps that scale down to 32 and 16 players. Not console friendly. But if you think about it. Battlefront 2 sold more than BF2 because of the PS2 game. Even if hardly anyone went online. So i think they want to exploit that market.

hope it does come out for the 360

As said thought they should make the pc version first because console games are usually dubbed down.

doom3 was enclosed spaces and not really all that many models in comparison to what quake wars will be. also its not "vehicles in quake" its "quake in a larger environment that completely owns on a tactical level"

That second picture looks like it belongs in Doom 3.
