Quake 4 Updated Single-Player Impressions - PC in action

GRAPEVINE, Texas--Raven studio head Brian Raffel, Activision producer Graham Fuchs, and id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead were on-site at this year's QuakeCon convention to give us an updated look at the single-player game, both on the PC and on the Xbox 360. Much of what we saw (at least on the PC) was previously shown at this year's E3, but Hollenshead took the opportunity to re-brief us on the game's single-player story, which picks up at the end of 1997's Quake II (in which the lone player infiltrated the planet of the invading Strogg aliens and destroyed that race's leader).

The strogg are part machine, part organic, and 100-percent evil.Said the id Software executive, "I really feel that Quake 4's going to be a better game than than Doom 3 was," thanks to the way the new game will incorporate varied gameplay along with technical advancements like drivable in-game vehicles and improved artificial intelligence you'll see from the game's enemies, as well as from your allies. As you may remember, in Quake 4, you'll play as a human soldier who is part of a military strike team against the merciless Strogg aliens on their home planet. Over the course of the game, you'll be captured by the aliens and subjected to the brutal process by which the aliens grow their armies: grafting metallic limbs and alien computer systems into their bodies to turn them into subservient slaves.

We began our demonstration with the PC version of the game by watching what appeared to be the game's introductory cinematic sequence, which begins in outer space above the alien planet of Stroggos.
