First Screenies of Quake IV -- 9:18 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Yahoo Games Domain posted the first screenshots of Quake IV, currently in production at Raven. Here's a quick look at where the game starts from project leader, Eric Biessman.

After destroying the Strogg's collective brain and leader -- the Makron -- the Strogg have quickly regrouped under a new and more powerful Makron. 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. An army of soldiers are fighting with you and an arsenal of weapons and vehicles are at your disposal. Quake IV delivers you deeper into the heart of Stroggos.

Linux client, anyone? Thanks Blue's News.

Update! On Linux Games there is a reference to an article on DOOM3 in a British Linux magazine that includes the following Q&A with Timothee "TTimo" Bessett. Here 'tis:

LXF: Can we expect Quake IV to run on Linux? Will the Linux client be released with the game this time, rather than downloadable a short while after as with Doom 3?

TB: I can't give you any information about Quake IV Linux at this point, but I'd do my best to make sure there is a Linux client out. The Linux release happened a few months after the Windows release, simply because I was working on the full game for Windows until we got gold. My work with id covers more things than Linux.

Hope springs eternal!
