not much hope is actually left for new quake to be the next hardcore iteration with how it was told that its going to be a mishmash of quake1 theme with quake3 movement along with champions from ow, all looks like yet another rage style fps soup with no clear concept.

You're making too many assumptions.

They never said the champions were going to be from OW, nor gave signs it was going to be any similar. Adding a special ability on a quake character doesn't make it a hero from games like OW.

They said there would be strafe jumping and rocket jumping, which you have in any quake game including quake 1, quake 2 and quake 4. They never said the movement would be quake3 movement.

You haven't even seen the game yet, nor the new gametype they want to implement, so why even said it's going to be crap or 'another rage style fps soup with no clear concept'? You simply have no idea.

If you're that pessimistic about the whole thing and not interested by the new game then don't even bother reading and commenting about it. I bet you'll be one of the first to jump on the game when it comes out, you're so hypocritical.

The more I listen to TW the more happy I am. He sounds actually reasonable. I like the idea where this game goes. Although many of you might not agree with me and believe me i play this game since I was 10 so its been already 15 years. I love the game, but making better graphics, new maps and some league system wouldn't be enough. I like the features they are adding to new quake. I will definitely play it and I can't wait to see first gameplay because I really do have hopes thats its gonna be huge and all veterans and new players will be back in the game ;)

Am I the only one who's around since '96, Q3 (/QL) since '99 and feel that absolutely nothing should change? Some new maps every now and then, and that's it.

Maybe a tad bit better netcode and true surround sound subsystem would be nice.

I feel ya bruh, but part of me is looking forward cautiously to QC :x For a long time now I only really play #tdmpickup and that is so fucking dead these days.

The idea of a new Quake with more than 1000 players just sounds so appealing. Starve a man long enough and he'll eat anything I guess :D

Naah.

If the worst comes, back to QW.

you're from the generation prior to the world wide a.d.h.d. outbreak.

it sounds like regular quake will be available along with champions shit.

Honestly, I couldn't care as much how the gameplay's gonna change, I just want something fresh.

ive been around since 1999 learned quake on sega dreamcast, then converted to PC and never looked back, OSP tdm/duel days were the prime, and I agree I can still play the same good 5 to 10 maps and be happy

wow nicest post from schizm ever

what are u waring for cloths??


be honest

If nothing should change just keep playing quake 1 / 2 / 3 with the same few hundred players.
We need something new which brings a new dimension to quake, and also have a much bigger community with fresh blood.

Quake was insanely hard to get into when I started in 03. We were top players in another game and got decimated for months at Quake before we could even play a respectable round.

I totally agree it's scary!

But it's ultimate fun if you get to being the decimator. : >

I don't find beating a bunch of new players any fun at all.

Who's talking about new players?

Especially people in California.

GC: So how far are you taking it in terms of them having individual abilities and weapons? Are they going to be Overwatch style characters that are almost like from a fighting game?

TW: So this is how we approach it, because that is a really good question. At its heart we knew that we had to make a real Quake game. You play the game the same way. Now, we have passive abilities and we have active abilities. And we know that people play first person shooters differently. Some people love the strafe jump, some people don’t rocket jump, some people don’t use air control, and some people are more aggressive or defensive.

So you could pick a character that has some passive abilities, maybe one that’s a little faster, say, that fit with your play style. Then you take that active ability and that’s what you use in specific situations, but it doesn’t change the way you play Quake – which is important. And we were nervous to put the champions into the game.

But we have a testing lab at id and we had PC-only Quake Live fans come in and we’re like, ‘Here you go, play it!’ And they really embraced the champions, they felt like it was additive experience – it didn’t detract – and they actually said at the test, ‘Yeah, you need even more’. And they gave us some ideas of different abilities different champions could have, so we felt good after running some tests through a lab.

Vague. Hints RJ/SJ/air control etc are all separated based on champions. Maybe not. Just vague.

CA rocket jumper vs cpm rail whore

im guessing a itll be like doom with strafing and rj's.

im just waiting for the day when games have bj's

Because Quake is coming to get them.

he should have said, "They should be"

TW is going to make you his bitch

I get Quake dreams at night...frightening :/

I think people are more afraid of what id is going to do to Quake.

Man, I'd really love to see one of those things on this latest engine.

Yeah bring star wars monsters into quake.

Darth Vader as Quake Champions DLC.

"– and I love my console fans, trust me; I love console guys."
Donald J Trumpf.

Haha, was thinking exactly the same.

why does he repeat every single thing at least twice?

To reassure you that everything's going to be fine.

Because he is also trying to convince himself :D

cuz he's from brooklyn.

Because win win win win win

CHINA!

He's beyond ELI5 politics. Best way to rope the 80 IQ voters in.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CONSOLE GIRLS

TW SEXIST CUNT CONFIRM

id will build a new engine, and make the console guys pay for it.

"Yes, we have the holy trinity: rocket launcher, railgun, and lightning gun."

This makes my happy inside

i'm afraid of quake too. afraid that it'll be average at best after id's done with evolving arena fps.

People are afraid of Duel.*

FTFY

I was definitely in awe of the game for a very long time. The sounds were so close, the feeling of the game heavy. A rail in the face would make me jump up in my (quite comfortable) chair, an approaching formation of rockets aimed at me made me feel like being hit by a collapsing bridge. And I hope to relive this with the advent of Quake Champions.
