The game was developed by Raven Software in collaboration with id Software (who supervised the development of the game) and was published by Activision, and later, by Bethesda Softworks. The initial release of the Xbox 360 version contained a second disc containing the same videos, as well as an Xbox 360 port of Quake II with nine zero-point achievements. The PC version had a DVD Collector's Edition containing a second disc with making of videos and a copy of Quake II and its expansions. The game is also known for its long and frequent loading times. The Xbox 360 version was criticized for its shaky framerate, muddy textures, and some difficulty running the game's key events, while the PC version on a properly equipped machine did not suffer from these flaws and several of the games issues were also patched on the PC version whereas no patches were developed or released for the 360 release. The two game versions were quite different in performance. The game was also released on PC on October 18th 2005. Quake 4 is a direct sequel to Quake II, and was one of the first launch games on the Xbox 360 Console.
