How can people be so blind? None of the people responsible for id Software's success are present, much like id Software is not responsible for any games that release using the legacy of its name. Bethesda runs the show.
Look at Doom. See the DLC, the outsourced multiplayer, the console market pandering, and if that isn't convincing look at Quake Live, the way it was squandered, unwanted changes forced upon the community when the updates it needed never happened. Pray Bethesda doesn't ruin Quake by deciding to make one.
i don't even want to refute what you said because it's not worth it, but put the pieces together with $$$$$ in mind and it makes a lot of sense for them to do doom the way they did it, not support quake live like the way they did, and develop quake with pc in mind first
New Quake is just a matter of time. They will reboot Quake like they rebooted Doom. And it will be as bad as the new Doom. Does really anyone think that a big corporation like ZeniMax Media gonna risk their own money by releasing a "hardcore" arena shooter?
Stop dreaming, it's all about making big money. And the money is where causal console gamers actually are.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, "quake" doesn't carry weight like doom does, bethid knows this
for sure they'll dumb some of it down; the skill floor needs to be lowered a bit for it to become remotely mainstream, but how they go ahead and do that remains to be seen
Well Doom is more the 'entertainment' piece, its Quake thats the real multiplayer game. They'll inevitably outsource it to Infinity Ward or something and fuck it up anyway though.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Where the hell are you from anyway, private?
Private Cowboy: Sir, Texas, sir.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Holy dog shit! Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy, and you don't look much like a steer to me, so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?
Private Cowboy: Sir, no, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Then you'd better apply for beta testing at id Software, or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull fuck you!
Private Cowboy: Sir, yes sir!
