![]() ![]() You quickly discover that the marine invasion is going badly, as squads were scattered and dispersed during the landing. ![]() Armed only with a pistol, you must get up, rendezvous with the rest of your squad, and turn the tide of the war. ![]() You wake up in the wreckage of the crash with a battle raging around you. In the campaign's opening cinematic, you see Kane and his fellow Rhino Squad members board their transport and fly toward the planet, only to be shot down by an enemy missile, in true Starship Troopers fashion. In Quake 4, you switch to a new character, Matthew Kane, who is part of the marine invasion force that appears in orbit moments after the defenses come down. In Quake II, you played a nameless marine who battled his way to bring down the planetary defenses of Stroggos, the home planet of the Strogg, an alien race of cyborgs that is at war with humanity. However, we should also note that both versions of Quake 4 are going to be as similar to each other as possible, and the single-player game on both platforms will have all the same levels, monsters, and weapons.Īs we've noted in our earlier previews, the single-player story in Quake 4 picks up immediately after Quake II. The single-player campaign represents a return to the story arc that was established in Quake II, while the multiplayer game builds off the fast-paced, twitch-based combat that was perfected in Quake III: Arena. We should first note that Quake 4 feels like two entirely different games. Quake 4 will offer a comprehensive single-player game and highly competitive multiplayer for the PC and for the Xbox 360. So when Activision offered us a chance to play both the single- and multiplayer modes of the PC version, as well as part of the Xbox 360's single-player game, we of course jumped at the opportunity. Second, it most likely will be an Xbox 360 launch title, so it will help usher in the next generation of consoles. Obviously, it's the latest chapter in the Quake franchise, the series that practically invented the 3D first-person shooter as we know it. gavbon86: An optional but required question.Quake 4 is one of the big games going into this holiday season for a couple of reasons.gavbon86: Arm Unveils 2023 Mobile CPU Core Designs: Cortex-X4, A720, and A520 - the Armv9.2 Family.RyanSmithAT: NVIDIA's overly processed press photo for the DGX GH200 really doesn't do its size justice.RyanSmithAT: Although the E31T is a mainstream SSD controller, it's something everyone should keep an eye on.RyanSmithAT: And, anecdotally speaking, Phison seems to hit their stride with their second controller for any new generation.RyanSmithAT: I expect at some point Phison will do an E28 controller. ![]() If I was really perdantic i'd say ATs review of the motherboard showed the a8n32 to be several FPS above all the rest of the mobos currently and would skew the data higher than normal boards, but thats not the point, the point is about comparability on the same platform.įinally, another thanks goes to Derek for the higher resolution coverage - although some here are mystified why resolutions above 1600x1200 are mentioned, well some of us have TFTs with native resolutions of 1920x1200 and anything lower has to be either stretched or windowed- thats not what I paid all that money to do, I want fullscreen lovelyness at full res and right now, thanks to Dereks patience, I can see that the minimum setup to enjoy all current games with FSAA at 1920x1200 is 2xGTs. Considering the GT is just over 200 here, I can get 2 and add an extra 50 for an sli board (over a non sli) and still save 50 notes.Īs for soundcards, well its not a soundcard review so I dont want sound complicating anything.
