"It has been announced that Quake 4 will be re-released on Xbox 360 in June."
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.
So no PS3 version? Guess the ESRB was incorrect, *looks at the only related news*

or just grab it for $4
it's a mediocre game at best, much better graphically on pc, but still a mediocre game
I expected an HD release with some new features maybe.
Am disappoint.
I guess it's just to release under Bethesda rather than Activision. Still, meh. Very average shooter, and it didn't even compete with the PC version on release.
No HD upgrading or additional features? Why would I bother buying this new when I can track plenty of copies of this launch release via used?
