    There is a ten page (or so) interview/first look at Quake 4 in the November PC Gamer. In it they state (amongst other things):
    • With Doom 3 it was horror, with Quake 4 it's going to be war. Doom 3 was slow-paced, tense gameplay. Quake 4 is going to be over the top, all-out action.
    • Vehicles! They show a really cool outdoor shot of a bunch of Strogg (I think) fighter jets blasting everything.
    • Squad-based gameplay. A lot of the time you will be fighting as part of a squad.
    • Their multiplayer goal is to re-create the Quake III experience in the Doom3 engine, which sounds so amazingly sweet to me.
    • The storyline picks up where Quake 2 left off.
    • Quake 4 will smash the perception that the Doom 3 engine is only good at indoor environments. There are many huge, open, outdoor levels.
