Quake 4 uses the Doom 3 engine to puff off visual tricks like nothing we've seen before. Unlike Doom, there's a lot of 'outside' levels, with the game changing from marine squad based sections to the alien-themed raids.
Like a certain Xbox title (Halo 2) Quake IV has you swapping sides half way through the game!
A while into the game you must infiltrate the Strogg war machine, in order to do this you must switch to a half-human, half-strogg character, previously playing as Rhino Squad member Matthew Kane.
In a new feature to Quake IV, you sometimes get to play as part of a team, with vehicles like hover tanks and massive mech walkers!
I know i said in another thread that there wont be many outdoor maps worth putting vehicles in but (thankfully) I was wrong! All The vehicles will be playable in the games many multiplayer modes too!
Quake IV should be out for both Pc and Xbox 360 around Autumn at around the same time as the new Xbox is out.
Here's hoping the game turns out to be as good as it looks.
