I already did this last year.
Copy cat!

This isnt mine. This is uploaded by Syncerror. They are releasing it with next update

next update? OMG! WHEN ?!!!!

:D

he didnt say when. They are also changing loadouts so there is no nades and you can pick only one weapon

Can't believe it's true. But after almost ONE YEAR.. Omg :D Epic loadouts/VO update anyway :c

Gonna be Steam exclussive

Lets all pay for shit that was free in q3.
What a retarded bunch of idiots lol.

years float by and you still can't get that they literally cannot give away the gore as it breaks laws in Germany and other countries, and a pay gate is the only way they can also do any verification to satisfy the ESRB for their T for Teen rating for the overall game.

I think you don't get it lap dog.
Fuck Germany. They can kill 6 million jews and get man to the moon but they can't handle gibs.
Fuck id software. It's just a name at this point.
It 's like the rolling stones getting back together after they're all dead... with new people.

Why does quake have a teen rating to begin with? How stupid.


Do COD or BF have teen ratings? Does CsGo have a teen rating?
Most popular games are M for mature.

Do COD or BF have teen ratings? Does CsGo have a teen rating?
Most popular games are M for mature.

well done, you've chosen 2 games that aren't free and thus are allready covered by the rules that will cover QL's gib DLC, leaving the rest of the game free.

I chose 2 games that are popular amongst teens... their target audience.
Showing that a teen rating is pointless when the people playing an M rated game are 12 years old.
2 games that are realistic/violent vs eyeballs with legs and rocket launcher, a fat biker chick, a shaolin monk with some weird shit on his back,a rocket powered roller girl.... with completely unrealistic physics, environments
and weapons.




csgo rated M. http://www.esrb.org/ratings/synopsis.jsp?Certificate=100491
Is csgo banned in germany? no they have a a special version.

I'm not going to pay for this BS because Germany can't handle its shit.
Why cant they have a german QL version with no gibs like the one we have now? Give em fairy dust and sparkles for all I care.
Its a BS excuse.

Not quake but relevant, and hey mentions Garpy (thanks venser on reddit)

Keep reaching.
QL never was intended for e-sports.
It's built for laptop idiot casual gamers.
That's why it runs off the cpu and not the gpu.

2008- we want gibs
2009- we want gibs
2010-we want gibs
2011-we want gibs
2012-we want gibs
2013-we want gibs
2014-we want gibs
2015- "we see since the Steam release there's a demand for some gore so we'll be charging for it"

QL- how to milk a product and it's community for all it's/they're worth.

By the time Sync and company are done with this thievery people will have payed $1000 for shitty content that was in q3 for 40 bucks... It's $19.99 on steam right now as I type this. That's a one off payment. You don't have to pay for freeze tag, Clan arena or to even host a server. Can't forget defrag and LvL with it's shit ton of free maps. Mods galore... all free! It's amazing!!

It runs off the cpu because id tech 3 is an obsolete can of turds in piss.


And btw it was intended to be an esport platform, thats why devs ditched the gore, so that they can aim for the T rating to spare legal troubles in countries not liking bloody games. This was actually stated several years ago in an interview which I cannot find atm, if anybody got a link pls gimme gimme.

Jood Jrief ! :o)

It never fails to amaze and annoy me how many people get this wrong!

it's 'J' ibs

G is soft as in 'Giraffe'

not hard as in 'Guitar'

Gibs is an abbreviation of 'Giblets'



How to pronounce 'Giblets'

Definition of Giblets in English:
plural noun

The liver, heart, gizzard, and neck of a chicken or other fowl, usually removed before the bird is cooked, and often used to make gravy, stuffing, or soup.

It never fails to amaze me how some people live in an illusory dream where there's a "right" way to pronounce new words and it must be related to etymology.

It's not giblets, it's gibs. In gaming we pronounce it with hard g as in guitar. We don't care how the word originated (and you don't even have a source for your story), and it isn't obliged to follow the same pronunciation as its parent word. When new word is created it starts to live its own life, so you simply cannot use rules from old words for new words. It's pronunciation (like pronunciation of all words) is established by tradition of use, and in case of gibs, it has been established to pronounce it with hard g.

You should better learn something about linguistics beforing telling people that they're wrong. First thing that you should have asked yourself is "why they all pronounce it with hard g if it came from "jiblets"?", and then research from there. And second question you should ask to yourself is why you presented "giraffe" and "guitar" as examples instead of going around the internet and correcting everyone to say "ziraffe" and "kitar". And maybe you shoud understand that if you accept "guitar", then you should accept hard-g "gibs" too and not be a smart ass.

pffffff

what a lot of Jarbage

Great way to demonstrate the level of your argumentation.

Gore should be completely removed from games that aspire to become e-sports. It's vulgar, completely unnecessary, and limits the game's audience.

Excessive gore in the early first-person shooters were just a gimmick to make you buy them. I'm glad Quake Live has a teen rating, but I would be even happier if it had a rating of E--for everyone.

I'm excited to see that Reflex and Reborn are using robots as their characters and not humans or bipedal creatures. However, I'm still not happy with their depiction of weapons and fighting. It's an unnecessary veneer that gives those outside our community the wrong impression about the genre of video-games we're passionate about.

When we see a high-level duel (or a high-level match in another mod) we appreciate the hand-eye coordination, thinking, and multitasking it takes. We applaud a frag not because the opponent exploded into a smear of blood and gore, but because it was a brilliantly executed, well thought out set of moves, or something that completely surprised us. The public however, just sees players killing one another in a demonic, bloody virtual-world. Doesn't this concern anyone?

It's a hindrance to the growth of this genre as an e-sport. The gory veneer does nothing but dampen our efforts to get the genre sponsored, to create large tournaments, and to get that recognition as an e-sport we desire.

I would advocate to the developers of those arena FPS games in development that have an active interest in grooming their games to become an e-sport to take a more abstract approach to the visualization of their games. I'm not sure, but the impression I'm left with is that most high-level Quake Live duellers play with such settings that hide their weapons from sight; that blur the textures; that morph the characters to better fit the hit-box; and that disable the fancy, unnecessary visual effects. So why focus on creating weapon models, fancy effects, player-models that do not represent the hit-box and so forth?

The players are saying this is what's comfortable, and what's important to me as a player, but the developers are running in the complete opposite direction. Their reasoning being that a more abstract visualization of the game-world, whilst beneficial to players and the game as an e-sport, would be uninteresting to the general consumer, making the game harder to market. It may be so, but it's not an impossible task . . .

It's hard to imagine Counter Strike without terrorist and anti-terrorist forces, without real-life weaponry; for StarCraft to exist without armies; or DoTA/LoL to exist without magic and fantasy characters; but it's easy to imagine games like Quake Live to exist without human characters, without weapon models, and without gore, because this is how most of us play the game already! The aesthetic of other e-sports has been so tightly intertwined with the games identities that it has become hard to separate them, but arena first-person shooters are different. This is how competitive players play, and this is how the public, or casual sees it. It has two distinct identities. This duality isn't present in other e-sports, and it's a hindrance to this genre's growth.

For this genre to become an e-sport again it has to develop an aesthetic that isn't vulgar, but something that accurately represents what the game is about. Quake Live has done the right thing by removing gore, but it lacks so many necessary features and its visual representation of the game-world is still far from ideal.

Quake is the original esport. Gore has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Violence happens in real life sports. So no, you're wrong.

Your opinions should be completely removed from esports.

Quake live has killed itself in esports. Have you even been paying attention to the trends? Watering down the game is the problem. It's laughable that you belive the visual representation of the game world is lacking after having created all this anti-gore drivel.

Hi Lam

Picmip 0 here, but plussed him for the rest :)

That’s a pretty stupid opinion, to the point where I actually think you’re a paid id shill for saying this.
Q3’s (and previous id product’s) visual and audio design with all the gore and the satanic symbols is one of the most original and genuinely artistic visions a multiplayer game ever had. It’s more sophisticated than 95% of modern games and calling it vulgar is an insult. QL is definitely an inferior product for having removed essential parts of it.

I'm excited to see that Reflex and Reborn are using robots as their characters and not humans or bipedal creatures. However, I'm still not happy with their depiction of weapons and fighting.

You should look at games like warsow, xonotic and what they’re all called. They have aesthetics that fit your ideas. They’re also all dead as a doorknob. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear from present q3 players that they didn’t switch because the cpm-clones all look like garbage.

This is how competitive players play, and this is how the public, or casual sees it.

If gibs get implemented, hardly anybody is gonna turn them off. Players of all levels regularly shoot their enemies corpses even without having gibs. Cypher does it all the time.

Lastly, no spectator is gonna appreciate the beauty in quake’s gameplay more with more abstract aesthetics. (S)he is just gonna find the game a few orders of magnitude more boring to watch and a few orders of magnitude less awesome.

How convenient. The next step is obviously to put depictions of male/female/animal genitalia on every single model, texture and interface in the game, which would result in all of those things having to be offered as dlc. Since rating is apparently a valid excuse to deliver inferior products and consumers are clearly very understanding of the ethical and legal issues and act like well-minded individuals, id is gonna make a lot of money.

I would buy the dicks DLC

Implying there aren't enough dicks in QL already

Nothing was free in q3, it was a commercial game.

I downloaded it, so it was free.
I only had to pay for q3 once and it was $40 i think.

Insta was free.
CA/RA was free
Osp was free
Maps were free.
player models were free
Hosting a server on your own pc was free.
Freeze tag was free.

They've had 6 years to make this game popular/successful.
Hasn't worked yet.

Can't make a retarded kid smart.

QL is hundreds of times more popular/successful than Q3 is now. So whatever they did obviously works better than Q3.

lol. Did you go to Sponges Quake comedy school?
Going from 6,000 players to 400 in 2 months isn't success. It's failure.

It's a failure.
But you are giving Q3 as an example of something better, while in reality it's uncomparably bigger failure.

q3 is a 15 year old game and still has a comparable population to QL.

That's some logic, kid. Where did ql come from? Q3.

Please explain yourself.

What exactly you need to be explained?
People who play quake, play QL and not Q3. Therefore Q3 cannot serve as example from which QL need to learn, because the result of things done in Q3 is a game with zero popularity.

Point and case. You know nothing. Most everyone that played quake are not playing at all because ql is crapola. It's platform took the new generation of the playerbase. The old school veterans have better things to do than wait for ql to get better. The pros moved to ql cause there is money in it.

Ask the pros what game they'd rather play for enjoyment. Their answer might shock you.

...or it might shock you.

If it's dueling there is no shocker.

The reasons why people don't play don't matter. Both Q3 and QL are available to play for everyone, and no one plays Q3, which means that for any reasons whatsoever, across all population of players QL is vastly more preferrable. If you say there are people who think that QL is crap and Q3 is cool, yet they don't play neither Q3 nor QL and wait until QL becomes better, then from that description I'd say those people are simply retards for not playing their loved game.

lol. let’s see how ql looks like in ten years.

And this will tell us what?

Spoiler: Syncerror said this on the 1st of April.

Thread saved.

Wait, I'm not exactly clear on this. This will be an update for Steam only (DLCs and other whatever fuck ups) or whatever fuck ups with client too, but DLCs only available via Steam?

This thread is about the new voice-over.

New VO will be released as an update to the standalone QL, ETA: this month (source: SyncError on sparks' stream yesterday).

Meanwhile, looks like the gibs DLC will wait for the Steam-exclusive QL, at which point the standalone will cease to exist.

"Standalone cease to exist."

Great. That's what I was concerned about.






Fuckin idiots.

Been saying since the steam version came out that if they go steam exclusive we could get an anticheat, but not without that exclusivity.
It also makes no sense to keep the standalone if the majority of users have moved to steam anyway and they can offer far more features through steam.
Steam takes a cut of any income, so they wouldn't have been considering this unless it really made sense for them.
Sorry man.
If you have actual problems with steam then do tell, because they're probably solvable.

Features, that I won't use like ever. At least I have to install community favourite roflSteam again, after several years of good riddance. I'm SO glad that I didn't renew my subscription.

So the problem is solvable. Company needs to go defunct.


Also, pls don't use the collocation "made sense" in the same sentece with these donut mongers.

That sounds really cool, but it's an April fool's joke? If so that's disappointing . . .

uploaded 4 days after April fools day..

syncerror couldn't even get that right

I know. lol.
He's always stealing ideas from the community.

I'm not paying for shit!

gibs dlc lol.

You have got to be the most entitled piece of shit if of all things you're going to call out a game developer for "stealing ideas from the community".

So...

This is going to save the game?

:rollseyes:

Quake will be COD with aliens in a few years.
No strafing.
aim assist. sync is probably behind the humanized aim.
player compass.
gameplay stops every 3 seconds for a cool hint/tip
no real gameplay just shitty dlc that every idiot will blow their money on.
every weapon sounds and looks different, but they're really all the same gun.

cool sneak attack animations.
stealing peoples dog tags... ooooooh

people having to pay for gibs

and matchmaking lol

Ah, good old QL community at its finest 8)
- Give us what we want, lack of it is da bigestest flaw of QL!
- Here you go.
- Fuck you!

More like:

1999 Q3 - "aww sweet cool so many mods tons of players and competitive tournaments"

Quake live beta ten years later - "aww looks like a ressurrection of msn zone this will be sweet, but no Gore? Meh who cares. Mods and players!!!"

QL out of beta - "okay so and so, gotta pay for stuff we already had and mods are lackluster"

QL 2 years later - "ehh more old maps hmmm... Q3 was better. Seems like they might be jewing us"

QL 2.0 - "why.... Why God. I'm outta here"

Well, you can try and say quake players are spoiled but logically we got screwed. In fact things would be better if ql never existed.

Why would they be better? Then we'd have no Quake at all.

All we have is duel right now. I'd enjoy CA if it were RA3. I'd enjoy CTF if people played, among other mods.

Well.. basically I feel like quake population hasn't changed much at all. My solution? I play q2 with the rest of the peeps who laugh at the joke that QL has become.

People would be playing quake, q2 or q3.
After q4 people went back to q3 until QL came out.

It's not like these games stopped existing because QL came out.
They still be there if QL dies.

They weren't playing anymore before QL came out though so it's not like anything was lost.

Pros maybe. Pros make up less than 1% of the community.
I was playing and had plenty of peeps to frag. There's still people playing q1.,q2, and q3.
Defrag itself still has a big community. Might even be more people than QL has.

you are gona be so mad... when q3 servers are gona use QL settings.

I'm currently sitting on the toilet. That about sums up my thoughts.

so i guess you wont play q3 eather then... wtf your opinion then? go play minlita then.

XD

Rail 80 is good.
Choosing duel map from The Edge, Spacecamp, The Longest Yard is not.

Mid-Air Rail, fuckin' lol

This gobotz guy is really upset

He's forced to play a game he hates! Anyone in this situation would be upset.

I rarely play ql anymore. I went from 4-6 hrs every night to about 30 minutes a month.
It's no longer fun. Another customer lost.

For someone that rarely if ever plays you surely invest a lot more time to let others know how dissatisfied you are with the game you aren't playing.

There's a bit of raythenoob in all of us.

5 minutes isn't much time lol.
If I wrote a book, made an anti ql website, and youtube review vids... you'd have a point lol.

Obviously I love quake and am dissatisfied with the direction it's taken and the overall product.

Thank God that the smell of donuts won't ever reach QW and DeFRaG.

all that mc donalds and multicolored diarrhea would upset anyone.

It's not like you're any better than him.
Watching you two plonkers jerk each other out is cringe inducing.

Lol, sorry we hurt your feelings.

I just think it's dishonest to charge people for stuff that was free in a game that QL was directly ported from.

I agree that there should be other, more rational ways to encourage the playerbase to pitch in.

QL radiant included. Id approved texture packs only.
There's enough variety of textures in the game already to make new interesting maps.

It's fine.

At least he lets it all out in a safe and sane environment. No harm done irl.

Can we get Sarge's cigar as a dlc??!? Pretty please ...

$199 / month

So is this the old guy doing a new voiceover or what?

no, it's from a different guy.

They cut individual words from youtube vids then processed them through Cubase.

What did Quake 4's annoucer sound like? I forget.

forgot?
There are only Q4 hit beeps in my head D:
