Yep, id, Activision and Ravensoft are at it again.
Soon to release a demo for the eagerly awaited Quake 4 game !
A little background..
Apparently this is to the be sequel to Quake 2. Infact its based almost immediately after the end of Quake 2. So we at least know what to expect. More Strogg monsters and.. things to kill.
Quake 4 is set to be an extremely visually impressive game, considering its based on the new Doom 3 engine. I'm sure everyone will agree that even if Doom 3 wasnt 'fun' it was visually impressive.
With a bit of luck they will realise the publics woes of Doom 3 and lighten things up a little. Although the dark environments were visually and atmosphericly pleasing, they werent much fun to play in. Frustrating at times.
The single player as mentioned will be akin to Quake 2. maintaining some favourite weapons such as the machine gun and nail gun etc.. (to be confirmed).
The multiplayer however, will be very similar to Quake 3 Arena (Q3A). Consisting various different team and multiplayer based gaming modes.
FPS game followers may even be in for a suprise or two when it comes to multiplayer styles of play ;)
