Sensational developments here at the LIVE E3 newsdesk! Publisher Activision has just announced Quake IV for Xbox 360, complete with a full press release outlining crucial gameplay elements:

“QUAKE 4 utilizes the power of our groundbreaking DOOM 3 engine to transport players into a war-torn science-fiction universe graphically realized like never before,” said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. “We’re excited to bring the next generation experience to a new breed of console game fans.”

QUAKE 4 is the first game to utilize id Software’s revolutionary DOOM 3 technology. In the game, you are Matthew Kane, an elite member of Rhino Squad and Earth’s valiant invasion force. Fight alone, with your squad, and in hover tanks and mechanized walkers as you engage in a heroic mission into the heart of the Strogg war machine. But, in this epic war between worlds, the only way to defeat the Strogg is to become one of them. Battle through early missions as a deadly marine, then after your capture as a marine-turned-Strogg with enhanced abilities and the power to turn the tide of the war.
