WhileDoom was the game that would make id Software a gaming-household namein the early 90s, over the years, the company shifted its focus awayfrom the Doom games. As PC hardware and 3D acceleration became betterand better, id became much more focused on engine development. Thoseengines were the underlying technology that powered the games in theQuake series, which began in 1996. Quake was among the first PCfirst-person shooters to let you take your multiplayer matches onto theInternet, and over the years, the series has become synonymous withgreat technology and exciting multiplayer. Now, in 2005, the roles ofids games have reversed a bit. The companys most recent engine is theone built for Doom 3, and Quake 4 runs on this same engine. Furthermore,Quake 4 wasnt even developed by id internally; it instead outsourcedgame development to the capable minds at Raven Software, who have turnedin a fantastic-looking game with a great single-player campaign. Themultiplayer, however, is underwhelming.
