Those pesky gaming censors have done it again, potentially letting the cat out of the bag when it comes to a new version of Quake 4. A new amendment to the ESRB Website updates the game from simply being for "Windows PC" to now also include "Xbox 360" and - more excitingly - "PlayStation 3".
Quake 4 arrived as an Xbox 360 launch title soon after its PC debut, and heralded an era in which the single-player FPS dominated.
For me, what launched the single player FPS campaign on consoles was Playstation DOOM which I bought during the launch window for the Playstation 1 back in 1995 which ended up being the best port of DOOM on consoles back in the 90s .
I hope Nightdive does a remaster of QUAKE 4 to be released on all current platforms .
You could do far worse on the 360 back in the day it was a excellent port of a at the time fairly demanding PC game.
BLG writes, "Alongside the Wolfenstein and DOOM franchises, there are the Quake games. Known for fast-paced and insane multiplayer deathmatch action, there was a time Quake was best known for its single-player design.
That all changed as time passed (i.e., after Quake 3 Arena). Multiplayer deathmatches were never the same.
As other FPS games leaned more into improved narrative and storytelling, id Software delivered a genre-defining multiplayer experience.
Quake 3, and the iterations, will always be one of the best multiplayer series releases.
As far as campaigns, I think 1 and 4 are great, but that 2 was garbage.
Quake Champions was a joke on and didn't capitalize on much of anything that made the series great.
Quake 4 made it's debut on PC and Xbox 360 17 years ago. Microsoft are now teasing new things, so it's time to look back at the original.
isnt this an old game?
This game is old, 360 launch title old.
So they're re-releasing the game? I don't get what this article is trying to report.....
I'm saying it was just an accident.
I remember playing it on the PC some time ago. It was a big disappointment for me. I stopped playing after 5-6hrs and forgot about it completely.
