Quake 5 = Quake Champions
Credit to the people who posted about this, it definitely deserves it's own thread......

Quake Champions trailer: https://youtu.be/sa-6fQyNkZo

The game will feature a "diverse character of warriors" with unique attributes and skills.

Well, fuck. We Overwatch now, boys.
Also will be outsourced to Saber Interactive.

I know, it's impossible appeal at same time for Q1 fans, strogg fans (Q2/Q4) and mp players (Q3/QLive) but this is just something completely out of this world.

Stop spamming the boards with quetoo. 
 
An Obsolete Title 
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 :/ 
Shut The Fuck Up 
 
They Had Their 3 Strikes And Out A While Ago. 
 
#128 Vs #130 Is Now Very Interesting Looking 
 
I Prefer #56 
A Quake 5 that's a Q3A remake would be much better than what we're getting.

Looks like ur wish came true lalz. 
Nope. 
This is a Q3A unmake. 
Would You Say That It 
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). 
Somewhat On Topic, Almost 
Just saw the quake live grand finals from the 2016 quakecon (rapha vs evil). one of the better matches I've seen.

Raphas from my city.

His sister thinks shes a witch. 
Well I Wouldn't Want To Watch That More Than Once A Year. 
But as uber-low-frag-item-positioning-tactics matches go, that's pretty cool. Map 2 comeback was insane. 
Played The Beta 
maps are gorgeous, sound is bad (I was wrong) and the rest is meh. 
New "Duel" 
A developer showcase of the new "Duel" mode:

Guess we won't see any 15 - 20 point comebacks any time soon... 
BRB. 
Looking for paint-drying videos instead.

The sound in that game would cause me to play on silent. Jesus christ it all sounds so horrible. 
S'okay Guysh. 
The Quake 1 tribute bit is here:

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:

Sweet jumping blue Jesus and all his goblins and the wee donkey.

How is that "Quake"?

Oh yeah. Willits. 
On That Note 
I was given some additional beta keys if anyone here wants to give the beta a shot. 
Things Keeping Quakeguy From Getting Home 
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.
