New Quake 4 details emerge

Publisher Activision and developer Raven Software have finally released a new information update and one new screenshot for Quake 4, the next game in the well-known shooter series. The update includes more details on the "Stroggs," the monstrous aliens that players originally encountered in 1997's Quake II. According to the new information provided by Raven Software project lead Eric Biessman, the alien aggressors will return in Quake 4 in a full-scale war between a squadron of soldiers.

Activision sent along a press release officially announcing the Xbox 360 version of Quake 4, which isn't much of a surprise after it was already featured on MTV. They also shown us this screenshot from the game

The new screenies look awesome. Especially with all those big, mechanical things that you will fight in the game. The 360 show on MTV even had a teaser for NFS: Most Wanted and I must say, that game looks cool too. Xbox has given me two reasons to think about buying the 360 (Quake 4 and NFS: MW) :D

Ur lucky nemo to be in a country with fast enough connections for the 360. If only they didnt have an online authentication mechanism I might have seriously considered buying the damn thing! Now I will wait and see...shucks..

Welkl the xbox 360 comes with the xbox live in 2 flavours. Gold and Silver. The silver is free where in you get to download some skins and update your profile and so on. The same silver live scheme is used to check against your xbox to see if it has been modded or not. Also every game which will come out for the xbox will be authenticated against their respective servers to make sure it is a genuine one.

Official Quake 4 website up

If you haven't seen the trailer for QUAKE 4, watch it at the official website, www.QUAKE4GAME.com. Also look for the Enemy Territory teaser site going live in the next week or two with the official Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars E3 trailer.

A bit confused...

@Sourabh: You are right! I had a feeling that, it might be there somewhere on the forum, so decided to search first before posting,yesterday.But giving "Quake 4" and "Quake IV", did not give the required result.And when I searched again today,it showed your postand one more.Strange! :?:

Anyway, mods have merged my post with this, for good! :)

Minimum Requirements should probably be the same as Doom 3.

No official requirements out yet but id are saying that if your system could run DOOM3, it will run Quake 4 too.
