The tight quarters and high bullet damage (at least incoming) makes this feel like a slow and unfair version of Superhot.

It's a very Raven-esque sequence, isn't it? Out of the games I've played, Soldier of Fortune 2 and Elite Force both had this progression of "Action Sequence -> Guided Tour of Home Base -> Action Sequence". Deus Ex had it as well (and that came out before either of those others, maybe?), but this is the sort of thing I've associated with Raven Software. I'm trying to remember if Hexen or Heretic had that, but I don't think they did. Speaking of Raven Software, no way to avoid Raven Squad, is there? I always used to wonder if there were any others hidden away anywhere, but Quake 4 was not a game that had a lot of secret corners with hidden goodies. Lemme see now, so far we've had: Rhino Squad (that's us) Raven Squad (seem to be the most numerous, and handle technical jobs) Warthog Squad Viper Squad Wolf Squad

Holy poo poo really? Badgers! How have you never heard of Mr Weebl? Man that shade of green these Raven squad boys use is reminding me strongly of a certain super grumpy Doom Slayer.

True story: I didn't learn about Cyriak until October of last year. I think past a certain point people stop telling you things because they just assume you already know.

Tangentially related, but Cyriak is also known for creating the exceptional Going Down megawad for Doom.

Was the modding scene in any way significant for Quake 4 or Doom 3? Doom and Doom 2 had their WADs, and I was recently reminded of one that I'd played which had the X-Men in it.

Quake 4 has an entire nonlinear campaign mod called False Dawn.

Doom 3 had a co-op mod, but sadly only like, three or four awful, half-finished maps for it when I tried it.

I think Quake 4 might have been the last game I can remember buying on physical media for the PC.  Thanks for playing this. This is bringing back memories.

Some people did try to make a Descent mod for Doom 3, so there's video of Doomguy 6DOF flying around a reactor core somewhere out there.

I think all of the videos are gone because he used Viddler? They're all on YouTube as well, just terrible quality since they're from ancient days. (hello I'm the guy who did that thing). Very much looking forward to a lot more of this, never did try the highest difficulty and it's amusing to see just how much sillier this game is at high difficulty.

Okay, making subtitles is taking loving forever, so I have to take a poll: do I keep making subtitles? If I do, it's gonna take like two weeks per update at this rate I sure as hell am not going to do this for Prey and Doom 3, which also lack in-game subtitles Here's the poll nutri_void fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Feb 3, 2018 |

So I've voted "Up to you", and I'll tell you why. They are funny, and it was amusing in the beginning, especially with the *pew-pew*, which was perfectly timed. However... You can turn them off for most of the pedestrian sections of the game (of which there are many), but you could add them for special occasions, where the action might overwhelm the dialogue.

I'm voting "up to you," because while the subtitles are definitely worth the wait and add to the episodes, I don't want you to burn out making them.

Yeah I've played the game enough times that I know most of what the conversations are but the Strogg interjections and other off-the-cuff subtitles were funny. Presumably they take considerably less time to do as well
