Quake fans, here is one good news for all of us!
id Software, as we all know is the developer of Quake series, has recently launched a new multiplayer demo for Quake 4. The new demo comes with updates in the Quake 4 1.4.2 Point Release Patch. There are 3 maps available, but unfortunately, the new demo is NOT compatible with other Quake 4 versions. So this means that only players using Quake 4 1.4.2 can play with each other with this new demo and kick some ass!
Anyway, since I find this blog entry a bit short (I'm not used to write short blogs ...err...), Take time to read this review about the Quake 4 from gamesradar.com.
"The big surprise in Quake 4 isn't really a surprise - halfway through the game, your hero, bad-ass grunt Matthew Kane, gets captured and "Stroggified," which involves being tortured and upgraded into a cyborg. The silicon mind control chip inside your head hasn't been activated, so you still fight for the humans in the war to protect Earth. You'll dispatch baddies with the usual complement of Quake weaponry, including the railgun and the hyperblaster, as your missions of "go there and get this thing" unfold. Occasionally you’ll jump into a vehicle like a tank or an armored walker, but no matter how you attack enemies, you'll grow tired of seeing their AI do little more than jump out of the way of your shots.
The Strogg homeworld, land of unholy unions of flesh and technology, looks gorgeously creepy. But after you're Stroggified, the gameplay doesn't fundamentally change - you'll get small health and armor bonuses, but no ethical dilemmas. How cool would it have been to be forced, against your will, to fight for the Strogg? There's no point to the plot twist; so much for man vs. machine vs. self."
Oh I forgot! You can download the new Quake 4 demo in id Software's website at www.idsoftware.com. Hope you'll enjoy playing!
