I thought they said a few years ago they were actually making a new quake and that it was using Q3A as the roots/inspiration and that it would be MP focused again?

Q1 MP is decent I spose, but a Q3A style MP shooter with the new engine would be perfect. In fact fuck it, just remake Q3A with tech 5 already.

Oh and make it scalable so we can make it look like shit with green skins :olo:

Making Q3A in this day and age would fail on all fronts...

Just what the shit would they do? Add modern stuff like ranks, Xp, unlockables and stuff to keep it up to date... FAIL in the eyes of all the oldschool guys, and the classic gameplay wouldnt work with it anyway...

OR...

They make it like the classic, arcade movement, everything, but then FAIL... Because its too oldschool...

Its a tricky one to get into really... Maybe if they made it as an extra on a new Quake 1 style SP game, it wouldn't be such an impossible task... Otherwise they would be tasked with making a game better than one of the best MP games even made, in an age where the best MP game is COD...

Well, they're making RAGE with the same id mechanics they've always used, just with a fancy new engine. I'm sure it'll sell well, simply because it looks very pretty and kids like to shoot stuff.

But yeah, you're probably right. Q3A is far too purist and hardcore to appeal to COD-lites now. Any more than 2 weapons and their little heads explode.

I don't think it'll ever be beaten as a hardcore competitive FPS.

I was thinking of the following analogy:

1) Kid plays a game of Checkers
2) Milton Bradley sees this and says "We're gonna make a sequel to that game!!!"
3) Kid imagines things like "new moves" , "new board layout", "more roles like Chess (lite)" "spinner"
4) Milton Bradley tries to think of a "story" for the Checker
5) Milton Bradley decides that since Checkers is a kinda metaphor for two armies that the Checker must be a soldier
6) They go on to develop an elaborate war saga in which Checker is low level grunt
7) The resultant game is a mix of the game "Life", "Clue" and "Stratego" and a little DnD
8) Kid goes "WTF!!! Milton effin' Bradley!!!"

So adding story to an abstract game type like Pac Man certainly is a poor idea.

Now, Quake is a bit more plausibly about "something" other than the activity of blasting stuff but not much more. Laden that property with too much story and you see my example in action. A science fiction setting necessarily requires some tangible explanation for any player predicament but a "fantasy demon infested realm" does not need any convoluted "realistic" back-story. There is no expectation about how plausible something is when the backdrop is a pure fantasy archetype. It works, and you can rock-out to heavy techno or metal and be totally in the spirit of it. It's the right thing to do.
