i didnt see him hit one shot. hitboxes must still be broken.

tbh, that guy aims 4 million times better than i do with a controller. I stopped playing mass effect cause of the stupid controller AHHH!

gonna buy it!

you know what would be amazing? this game having immense success on XBL and id making Quake5 console exclusive

i can dream, can't i?

Quake 5, YES

Seriously, we need a Quake 5. Quake Live can only do so much for bringing in players. If we get a Quake 5 (Release on PC, XBOX, and PS3), at least we can get people PLAYING IT. This will make the player base a big bigger, and give Quake more of a chance to expand and get more viewers on streams. Sponsors will definitely put money into funding a Quake 5 tournament (Higher hardware requirements, etc).

then you realize carmack didn't develop quake5 therefore it sucks

Hi Doom 3. Hi Quake 4. Hi doublefail.

Hi company that wasn't ID that made the game that would never be allowed to touch the game again

Hi game that was under the full oversight of id, was worked on with id, and was fully endorsed BY id.

Got an excuse for Doom 3?

carmack tech demo :p

lol

funny how they got brightskins for all the models there but not in QL

its a feature in the next update il tell ya :p

I don't get it.

QuakeLIVE is free, better, and free. WHY NOT JUST POOL RESOURCES INTO QL??!?!?!? defrag, cpm, spawnable lan servers, people would pay for that shit.

12 exclusive maps? fu id
pentagons? fu id
a single player campaign? fu id

People are going to see this shit and assume QL has the same gameplay, boring and slow as molasses.

This is fail. soooooooooooooooo fail

This game looks like it lacks that rage inducing effect Quake is notorious for. I couldn't see myself getting mad in arena arcade or whatever, because there isn't much skill required upon viewing those videos. On a different note, I would play this over Quake Live, if I had an Xbox. Why? I wouldn't care much about the game because it's on Xbox. You suck, id.

Oh, and it's really cool that more work was put into arena arcade than Quake Live over however many years it has tried to survive. RIP Death Adder. HELLO NEW RAZER XBOX CONTROLLER YEEEEEE BOY

that razer xbox 360 pad actually looks awesome, i like the adjustable deadzone, but i bet after time it'll still wear out

Theres no way i'm playing this... I aint getting beaten by some console noob!

Fucking console players with there superior joypad aim :(

That's different to your QL experience? :D

Haha just kidding mate, never saw you play but i had to take that one as you just walked right into it!

Wow you really knocked that 1 out of the park.

Good job :)

If they put this much effort into a consol version, no wonder they don't have the time and resources to make a beta or final version of QL on the PC:(

was made by a third party developer

I know, but still , it's not like you send them a few disk with the required data, and get the final product at the end, you need a few ppl at ID as well:).

don't see why they wouldn't just give them the source and assets

well, I have different experiences, but you could be right also. Anyway, that would be still more attention compared to what they give to quakelive nowadays:)

well its not like ql is missing some genius developer its missing money. so in the end its still resources not being spend on ql
on the other hand it might be profitable anyway ;)

waste of time
waste of human ressources
even the extra hardware parts that have to be produced through the cumulated sales of that "game" are a waste

I'm not sure if they can sell this as a full game, but might have a chance as a downloadable thingy in the online store.

Got here a six years old kid, who loves q3. I configured a gamepad version for him, without blood and gibs, and only with the nice maps like simpsons or wcp16, etc. He can play 1 hour at the weekend if he was good during the week.

It was a surprise for me as well, but he loves it, not boring for sure (he never saw me or anybody else playing q3 in his life). He calls other shooting games or cartoons "stupid", but he likes q3 pretty much.
He understands lots of things in the game, like he must get the RA because it can make the enemy stronger, so he defends certain areas on the map, and check key items like MH regularly. He also runs away or hide if he is low on health, he even leaves health for his bot teammates if he doesn't need it atm. etc.
One could write a PHD about how he builds up his strategy

The bottom line is, that certain kids might like this game on the consoles.

ps.:He also loves sc2 as well, but he prefers mouse/keyboard for that one:)

the fuck are you raising? lol, are you sure he didn't see you smile or have a twinkle in your eye when he reached for the quake 3 disc by accident one day? And is just playing it to make you happy?

Kids should play outside.

no, he is a very nice kid and he prefers to play outside, in fact it's always a struggle to get him inside. And no nothing happens if he doesn't get to play with Q3 for weeks, and I'm pretty sure the only games he saw me playing were Zelda and Mario, and stuffs like that.

Please don't get me wrong, all I wanted tp say is that certain kids might like that useless console shit.

wow there's this one kid in india who likes to play quake on a console. call Carmack we need to quake5 this bitch!

rofflez

Don't blame id for wanting to make easy money. This might actually bring some console newbs to the ql community.

Might actually take console newbs away from the Quake Live community, you mean? They would just play arena arcade and I have to admit, it looks so much better than Quake Live. I'm sold. That's casual gaming my friends and I can enjoy to be honest, though I dislike Xbox. Games are more fun when you play them for fun, something Quake Live denied me long ago.

No more newbs, plz. Stop it! Stoooop it!

The newbs we allready have aren't worth shit. And console newbs would be even worse, they don't know how to use KB/M at all.

We need a continual stream of newbs or we'll die :(

I have no problems with that. Some people tend to forget corporation's only mission is to make money. Also newcomers are what keeps communities going on.

The thing is this game switches id's attention (therefore content) to a really bad game because they just didn't get crucial gameplay differences.

id doesn't have its good reputation anymore because they haven't launched a good game in more than 10 years and the game won't be good. That's the recipe for commercial failure, and I don't think they will buy reviewers since they don't even put money into WCG to have some publicity.

Remove the movement & you take the fundamental feature away from quake - that could be any incredibly simple arcade shoot em up.

I apologize as I've only played games a couple times on newer consoles and they weren't FPS games. But would it be possible to even strafe jump or is the guy in the video not comfortable with the controls? I'd think you could to some extent but not all that efficiently.

I think it's possible technically ,but not sure if anybody is out there who can actually do it, since it's so hard that you would need the biggest console faggot ever to do it for you during a match.

ps.: but why would a console gamer need strafe jumping? ;o)

Anyone know more about this Xbox Input Machine thing?
Is it the same as using mouse/keyboard on PC?

doubt it.
