Video Gaming News - November 2005
Santa Monica, CA (November 18, 2005) - Activision announced today
that Quake 4 for the Xbox 360 has shipped to retailers nationwide.
From Activision:
This next chapter in the futuristic war between the Earth and the Strogg
transports players into the boots of Matthew Kane, an elite member of the
legendary Rhino squad as they, along with an armada of Earth’s finest soldiers,
invade the home planet of the barbaric aliens threatening to annihilate Earth.
Quake 4 for Xbox 360 is available at retail outlets for a suggested retail price
of $59.99 and carries an “M” (Mature – Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong
Language) rating by the ESRB.
“With Quake 4 for Xbox 360, gamers can now take the battle for Stroggos to
the home theater as this epic war for survival comes to life with true
high-definition sights and 5.1 surround sound,” said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id
Software. “This is the next generation of gaming and Quake 4 fans should prepare
to experience a non-stop ride of action and adrenaline as they battle along side
Rhino Squad, through this heroic mission to defeat the unstoppable Strogg army
and preserve the human race.”
Developed by Raven Software and executive produced by id Software, Quake 4
picks up only moments after the events of the epic 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 in incredible combat missions against the
Strogg and their disturbing amalgamations of man and machine. Built on id
Software’s revolutionary DOOM 3 technology, Quake 4 also features the world
renowned fast-paced multiplayer competition-style gameplay of the historic Quake
III Arena. Incorporating Capture the Flag, Arena Capture the Flag, Deathmatch,
Team Deathmatch, and an all new Tournament mode for up to 8 players on Xbox Live
online gaming system or System Link, Quake 4 is poised to set the standard for
online multiplayer bragging rights.
Quake 4 also contains hours of bonus content, including behind-the-scenes
videos and interviews plus a complete version of Quake II, re-engineered
exclusively for Xbox 360 featuring up to 4-player support for co-operative play
and multiplayer support over System Link.
