Quake Champions - Gameplay Footage!

[Don Carlos]

Just to give perspective on this - it's going to be a few months away

[seremtan]

your expectation management skills need a polish, sir

you should have said that we were moving toward a proposal for a delivery window, and fully itemised your assumptions when outlining the time frame

[MKJ]

saucy.

[Ganemi]

it's not as brutal, which is why the cartoony look works.
it's also not a competitor for Q3 or UT at all. the game is way more tactical than any of those games will ever be.

Once again, agreed entirely. Ot doesn't match Quake 3 for speed and in some ways skill (strafe jumping etc) but it does have the tactical side which is brilliant. Quake 3 is a brutal rock band whose songs are simple but brilliant where as Overwatch is an orchestra who play a beautiful symphony full of layers and depth.

It is easily now in my top 10 favourite games of all time...probably heading towards top 5.

Did you ever get a chance to play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory? Overwatch looks like ET, except really simple. Can't imagine an ET map like Axis Lab taking place in Overwatch.

Oh hey you guys

Looks like you can sign up for the closed beta now

http://www.quake.com

Heard it will be out in a few weeks

[Don Carlos]

I'll let you know once I've gotten the thumbs up from Tim W and you can send me your details for me to forward on so you should guarantee your place.

[Don Carlos]

Tim said "Send me an email in April"...so thats what I will do.

[MKJ]

lol you can't sign up unless you signup for their commercial newsletter. actually against the law in the EU, tho I doubt they care.

On topic, I'm guessing the beta is Win only ie no Mac version?

[Don Carlos]

No idea

[Don Carlos]

Also, weapons;

[losCHUNK]

Am signed up, make it happen donny boi

[MKJ]

Click on a weapon and scroll through the gallery. Delicious 10sec gameplay vids and sneak peek of maps

[Don Carlos]

Yeah I am not sure I like the rail gun design

[shaft]

looks like unreal tournament

[obsidian]

Weapons seem effective, but not a fan of the models from a visual standpoint. Instead of a clean looking profile, they look overly complicated and impractical, perhaps hard to visually identify from a distance.
