Overview The series is somewhat unusual in that its focus changes frequently; Quake II has nothing to do with Quake, and Quake III Arena has little to do with its predecessors, as well. This is mostly because Quake II was originally supposed to be an entirely different franchise ("Quake II" was a tentative title), a plan which was shot down when most of the names id Software had tried to use instead were already taken.
Quake involves a Marine traveling through alternate dimensions to prevent a demonic invasion from occurring, in a similar storyline to their previous hit game Doom; Quake II involves an assault on an alien planet in retaliation for attacking Earth, which is entirely unrelated to its predecessor. Most of the subsequent entries in the Quake franchise follow Quake II, not Quake. This article is about the game. ...
