![]() Don't get put off by the one-track FPS genre objective, as this time you are not a one-man show going at it alone. Now with that out of the way, in Quake 4, you continue the onslaught to rid of the war-hungry Strogg race entirely off the face of the planet. If you remember playing Quake 2 back in the days of the Riva 128 and Voodoo graphics cards (brings back fond memories, don't they?), the finale is the destruction of the Strogg's (the alien race) planetary defense system. So essentially, Quake 4 continues a classic game that first debuted 8 years ago in 1997. ![]() Quake 3 was named Quake 3 Arena for a good reason and that's because it was a multiplayer only game given a new game engine then. Just a heads up for those of you who have not been following the Quake storyline, the new Quake 4 is not a continuation of Quake 3, but that of Quake 2 which was the last in the series to have had a proper plot. However, both games utilize the same game engine (albeit updated for the new Quake) that id software toiled to recreate the nightmare Doom 3 masterpiece last year (environmentally speaking), and this is the very reason why Quake 4 was developed much faster than anticipated and it's here today! So what's the connection with Doom 3 and the new Quake 4 you ask? Well, both games are by the same developers, id Software, so it's only natural for the uninformed to assume that it would be a while longer till one can lay their hands on the continuation of the classic. Quite a number of us have been nonchalant that the next installment of the highly successful Quake first person shooter game, would only be in stores either during Christmas this year or next year seeing that Doom 3 only made it out August last year.
