IGN got the chance to sit down with Tim Willits of id Software and have a few good words with him regarding the sounds of Quake IV, the voice acting and recording, and etc, all reported in a 3 page interview. Here's a snoop:
"IGN: Quake is widely considered to be one of the pillars of the FPS genre, but it's been away for a while, which has allowed other games to stake out its crown. What facets of gameplay in Quake 4 will put these contenders back in their place?
Tim Willits: We at id aren't in the business to put other games in their 'place.' We feel that in order for this industry to survive it's important that there are lots of great games for people to play. In Quake 4 we are trying to focus on making a great single player experience with fast paced action sequences that's a return to the Quake II universe along with a compelling multiplayer component."
For the rest of the goodies and also a newly revealed screenshot, make sure to head on over to the whole interview as it's quite an exceptional and decent read.
