id Softwares kommende Quake IV var naturligvis også representert på X05, men var, foruten den grafiske elegansen en smule skuffende. Styringen var treig, hastigheten sterkt dalende hele tiden og animasjonene livløse. Den danske redaktøren var i hvert fall ikke i første omgang imponert.
Nedenfor er de siste skjermisene fra spillet. Det vites ikke om skjermisene er fra PC- eller Xbox 360-versjonen. Quake IV er på gaten 21. oktober.
Her er mer fakta:
Earth is under siege by an alien race. The Strogg are cybernetic warriors--a mechanical frame and decaying body parts stabilized by flesh consumed in a systematic annihilation of other species and civilizations. In a desperate attempt to survive a Strogg attack on Earth, an armada of Earth's finest warriors is sent to take the battle to the Strogg home planet. Earth's initial assault force is nearly annihilated immediately, but one marine manages to infiltrate the base, bring down their planetary defense systems, and kill the Strogg's collective brain and leader--the Makron. Earth assumed the destruction of the Makron would end it all, but it didn't.
That's where QUAKE II leaves off and QUAKE 4 begins.
The Strogg are quickly regrouping. However, with the Strogg’s planetary defenses still destroyed, Earth's forces can deliver a full and final assault. This time, you're not alone. You are Matthew Kane, an elite member of Rhino Squad, and part of Earth’s next invasion wave. An army of soldiers are fighting with you and an arsenal of weapons and vehicles are at your disposal in this heroic and epic battle between worlds
