An Obsolete Title
#128 posted by 1path0gen1 on 2017/04/23 22:35:39
So far, the game has nothing to offer to veteran Quake players besides a bunch of nice looking maps and fresh noobs to slay effortlessly. All the solid fundamentals are already implemented in QL and CPMA in a better way. Noobs on the other hand have absolutely zero chance to close the skill gap since it's the same old core mechanics experienced players have been mastering for 15 - 20 years. The new school elements like classes are slapped on top of the old formula outside of their context, so it's hard to understand how that can be attractive to Overwatch and TF2 crowd. Not going to go into details just yet cause, you know, nda and stuff. The game probably deserves a benefit of a doubt, since the developers still have their "it's just an early beta" excuse. But overall, only a massive optimist can believe this will be the next big thing in online shooters. A real shame :/
They Had Their 3 Strikes And Out A While Ago.

A Quake 5 that's a Q3A remake would be much better than what we're getting.
Looks like ur wish came true lalz.

retroactively defiles a Q3A fan's childhood?
No
Though Willits is doing his absolute best to do that (and of course, he fails at everything, even this).

But as uber-low-frag-item-positioning-tactics matches go, that's pretty cool. Map 2 comeback was insane.

I kind of like that he's a bit insane as presented in the actual beta, not the trailer. Kinda wish the Dire Orb looked like the original:

Things Keeping Quakeguy From Getting Home
#148 posted by Akira on 2017/05/06 09:19:12
Can and would make for a simple plotline to base an entire game around. There could be a whole episode of him going through a teleport device And getting Tangled up in an arena shooter dystopian setting. Basically Stargate but with quake and Id themes. There could be a secret map in every episode where he finds himself in every quake setting, and doom; he could go through a portal and find himself a collection of 2d sprites on Phobos. Or find himself in a troma movie.
Other Things That Could Keep Quakeguy From Getting Home:

- He keeps getting caught in traffic.
- Boss is a shit and dumps a new load of work on his desk which has to be done by morning.
- Gets a bee in his bonnet about 100%-ing a map, yet just cannot find that last goddamn secret/scrag/rotfish.
- Train strike, so he has to use alternative public transport.
Ooh Ooh

and when he does finally find that last enemy which would 100% the level, it's like some poor orphaned baby fiend or something which looks up at him with these big puppydog eyes, and quakeguy just can't bring himself to do it, awwwwwwww.
