As such, there was little in the way of gameplay and no HUD was present.

The segments the team at id chose were obviously meant to show off the graphical prowess of Q4 and give attendees a feel of the more cinematic route the designers are taking, while introducing viewers to the deeper level of character development and the main plot twist that really sets up the entire game. While the appearance of the game is very similar in structural and character design to Doom 3, there are a great deal more characters and open areas than anything seen in id?s last offering. Little graphical quibbles aside, the game did look sufficiently gorgeous. The texture resolution did seem a little lower than one might expect, though considering the folks at Raven haven?t even announced a release year, it's relatively safe to assume things will be smoothed out in the final code. Even running at 1080, the game was already holding a steady frame rate with barely any noticeable slow-down. The demo we witnessed was running on a top o? the line Intel system with an nVidia 6800 handling the beautification. Just before the close of E3 2005, SPOnG was lucky enough to wave the media badges in the faces of id?s PR guys and head off the last group of 'Exhibit only' pass holders waiting for a private showing of the real time demo of Quake 4.
