Stuff is going on around you-you are only a part of the action. The developers actually did a good job at making it seem like there is a large scale invasion going on. So the whole game takes place in the middle of this huge raging battle. In Quake 4 earth is invading the Strogg homeworld and counterattacking.

It actually has a plot and it is a cool one at that. Quake 4 is the game Doom3 should have been.

#QUAKE 3 VS QUAKE 4 MULTIPLAYER PATCH#

For once, both sides of the game’s community have reason not to hate patch day and we expect this traditionally high standard of support to continue.The following pertains to the PC version, single player campaign:Īfter picking up Quake 4 for $20 the other day and playing through most of it for the first time, I figured I would post a short review because it seems a lot of people skipped this game. The first patch has removed CD checking straight away but without wiping savegames in the single player mode like Quake II. The previous title always favoured the hardcore deathmatching scene above the many modes of Unreal Tournament, and it’s wise of iD and Raven to go retro for now and see how many players they can hold on to ahead of UT 2007’s release in Spring 2006. The multiplayer is basically Quake III with a couple of team add-ons, rendered to near perfection in the Doom 3 engine. When using a mouse they are, thankfully, very easy to handle, the difficulty level chosen only affecting damage rates. There are gun platform trucks, a tank and a Mechwarrior-styled walker which is thankfully much simpler to operate than the Battletech equivalent - they are a diversion for PC players but obviously intended to make Quake console friendly in time for being a Xbox360 launch title.

Vehicles are also present in a first for the Quake series but routine for rival first person action games. When they do attack though it’s as frenzied as Call of Duty, AVP and Quake 2’s group attack scenes all mixed together. It’s also not a new complaint that you can physically walk through the same section twice, but the enemy will only spawn when you trip an invisible wire or pick up a weapon - another touch which can bring you out of the game world if you know everything’s lying in wait as opposed to the occasional feeling of being hunted down from Doom 3 and AVP. The last thing you want to do after seeing a fellow marine dragged under a door to their death is shift stupid boxes and this one moment can reinstate your disbelief - even playing late at night, the last thing you need is an excuse to quit. It’s not all great though, some people complain that the relentless action is too linear but even those complainers are silenced when you reach the barrel-shifting scene - that’s right, you have to move a platform and some barrels to reach the next level, this is after arriving too late to save a colleague who sent you off to do something and in the style of Scary Movie, you know they’re dead meat. Forget the one to two at a time spawning of Doom 3: In Quake 4 the enemy can mass rush and attack as quickly as your rate of fire, especially the basic footsoldiers and in spite of the robotic nature of the enemy there’s the regular amount of blood and gore you’d expect, keeping the certificate at 18. Every weapon also has a visual or numerical ammunition counter, further enhancing the feel of being in James Cameron’s Aliens.

Although you will end up with better looking versions of all the Quake weapons, the original marine machine gun and shotgun, which hark back to Doom, will be the most popular for creating that action movie feel.

Taking some heed of Doom 3’s eyestrain-inducing darkness, Raven has equipped two weapons with an optional torch, usable all the time and creating atmosphere in certain key sections. Quake II’s green shades scrub up nicely on the Doom 3 engine, but thankfully most of the rest of the time, you won’t be creeping around, more like machine gunning everything in sight with squads to match while imagining yourself in a James Cameron film. It reintroduces us to the war with the Strogg race and you play Marine Matthew Kane once more, but adding the kind of storytelling and graphical improvements you’d expect for a gap of 8 years between instalments.

(Pocket-lint) - One year after we reviewed Doom 3, Quake 4 has landed.
