In an interview with Next Generation, 
It all boils down to the process of development. While good ideas may certainly be popping up, the dilemma comes in when such are only good in a blueprint, but not in actuality. Therefore, it would be highly preemptive on their part if they promise certain aspects of the game while still in the developing stage, only to find out later on that the idea won't work after all. And as customer satisfaction tops their priorities, they would rather keep mum about the new IP first, polish it, and let the gamers discover for themselves what the fuss is all about.
The Quake series has always grasped the attention of its fans. With it's mind stimulating imagery, intensive multiplayer and single player action, beautifully orchestrated sound and cutting edge weaponry. Quake IV begins where Quake II left off, you start off as one of Earth?s elite space marines, Matthe Kane. A cinematic sequence opens up the game, showing your dropship being shot down. It's up to you and your remaining A.I. crew to destroy whatever is put in your way. The A.I soldiers act as the storytellers and accompany you on some of the missions. The mix of solo action with squad based action can be refreshing at times, and injects a welcome change of pace in the gameplay, although your team-mates do have an uncanny knack of getting in your way at times. Firefights have enemy Strogg, grunts, gunners and berzerkers launching lunging attacks at ferocious speeds. It?s not in the same league as F.E.A.R, rather the A.I only display a small amount of tactical maturity, It would have been a nice addition to be able to lean round corners and take out the oncoming Strogg, but, a large percentage of Quake IV will see the enemy running straight into your line of fire ? it certainly keeps you on your toes but becomes rather draining after a while.[Via, hexusgaming]
Not sure what game to buy next? Matt Slagle from the Associated Press has played 15 of the 18 Xbox 360 launch titles and ranked them from best to worst. Though I haven’t played all the games, I still wouldn’t agree with all of his ratings, but hey, some of his impressions are right on par.
