Gaming News - October 2005
Santa Monica, CA (October 18, 2005) - Activision announced today that
Quake 4 for the PC has shipped.
From Activision:
The long-awaited sequel to Quake II, Quake 4 enlists gamers in the role of
Matthew Kane, a member of the legendary Rhino Squad, to penetrate deep into the
heart of the Strogg war machine and engage in a series of heroic missions to
destroy the barbaric alien race. Quake 4 for the PC is available at retail
outlets nationwide for a suggested retail price of $49.99. Additionally, fans
can purchase the Quake 4 Special DVD Edition for a suggested retail price of
$59.99, which includes Quake II, the Quake II expansion packs, and exclusive
behind-the-scenes content. Both versions carry an “M” (Mature) rating by the
ESRB.
“Fans can now buy Quake 4 and jump right into the epic battle between mankind
and the Strogg,” said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. “The single-player
campaign has the excitement and feel of a blockbuster action movie, complimented
by an addicting multiplayer component featuring all the speed and excitement of
Quake III Arena.”
Developed by Raven Software and executive produced by id Software, Quake 4
begins only moments after the events of Quake II, with the Earth’s fleet
launching a massive offensive to the planet Stroggos. As Matthew Kane, gamers
invade the alien stronghold, fighting alone, along side other Marines, and in
mechanized walkers and hover tanks as they encounter the Strogg and their
disturbing amalgamations of man and machine. Built on id Software’s
revolutionary DOOM 3 technology, Quake 4 also features fast-paced multiplayer
competition modeled after the speed, style, and feel of Quake III Arena.
