Aspyr Media, Inc. announced today that it is bringing QUAKE 4, developed by Raven Software and produced by id Software, to Macintosh. The game, licensed from Activision, is scheduled for release in early 2006.
The long-awaited sequel to QUAKE II, QUAKE 4 enlists gamers in the role of Matthew Kane, a member of the legendary Rhino Squad, to penetrate deep into the heart of the Strogg war machine and engage in a series of heroic missions to destroy the barbaric alien race. QUAKE 4 begins only moments after the events of QUAKE II, with the Earth’s fleet launching a massive offensive to the planet Stroggos. As Matthew Kane, gamers invade the alien stronghold, fighting alone, along side other Marines, and in mechanized walkers and hover tanks as they encounter the Strogg and their disturbing amalgamations of man and machine. Built on id Software’s revolutionary DOOM 3 technology, QUAKE 4 also features fast-paced multiplayer competition modeled after the speed, style and feel of QUAKE III Arena.
The game is rated “M” for “Mature” by the ESRB. For more information, fans can visit http://www.quake4game.com

MW: “done”. DANG…. It’s like magic, or something.
Does this mean that they will release the Mac version at the same time as the Windoze version? If so, every instance of this kind of parity from software vendors is a very good thing for the Macintosh platform.
Hoo baby, this is going to run sweet on that Quad G5 I’m getting next month at work!
Productivity is going to take a dive when that baby is released!

Cubert, where you been? Quake IV for PC has been out for a month!
I’m still waiting for halflife, counterstrike to finally come to mac… if that day ever arrives……. i dont even know what to say anymore
Quake Shmuake… what about Call of Duty 2?
Yeah, I heard it sucks in multiplayer mode, but single player is supposed to be great.
You seriously need to come to terms with the fact that Half Life is never coming to the Mac. Even if it did, it’s so outdated.
Quake 4 on the other hand…
I can’t wait for that to come out and not run well on any Mac hardware
How about Halo 2? Me & the Chief have about had our fill of pickin off grunts & whapping Hunters in the back.
hate to break it to ya but…

The conversion of the code for os x isn’t all that great. Since it’s based on the doom3engine you could probably expect silmilar results.
It’s good though that there are some games coming for os x, maybe we won’t have to dualboot to windows to play

How can a game that’s a few months old possibly be FUN?
The definition of fun has changed in that time.

Anywho, I want this for the multiplayer. I love Q III multi, and this is the same with better gfx!
