All that sci-fi stuff with the Strogg was great, but you know what I really miss? The original Quake, with its Gothic overtones and nightmarish monsters. According to id Software overlord John Carmac, that style of game might return in the next installment!
“We are at least tossing around the possibilities of going back to the bizarre, mixed up Cthulhu-ish Quake 1 world and rebooting that direction," he said. "We think that would be a more interesting direction than doing more Strogg stuff after Quake 4.
"We certainly have strong factions internally that want to go do this. But we could do something pretty grand like that, that still tweaks the memory right in all of those ways, but is actually cohesive and plays with all of the strengths of the level we’re at right now."
Sign me up. Hell, sign me up twice. I will throw a baby into a river in order to get this made.

More seriously, I never really understood why they always did new Quake games in the . It is a rather generic setting compared to the one presented in Quake 1.
Will Trent Reznor do the soundtrack? :D
Too much EXCITE for me to complete any sentences.
It must have been hella ugly- I don't believe you could play quake on anything before P1
I rule!
SOLD!
SOLD!
Creepy soundtrack, atmosphere and level design. A dirty castle is sooo much better than a polished space station.
If they want to make gothic Q U A K E they need to hire Romero and Renzor.
With how ID are slowly becoming just another mediocre console FPS developer I dont have much hope for Quake 5.
