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.

TBF, googling "QC" now doesn't even remotely throw up any QuakeC-related stuff.

The half-dozen or so people messing around with QuakeC probably have all the relevant sites already bookmarked. 
Note To Self 
Amend blog entries so that the acronym is expanded to QuakeC everywhere outside filenames. 
 
InsideQC's QuakeC tutorials are essentially not accessible to the internet and the forum itself is not indexed in Google.

Which more or less means QuakeC is quite dead.

Except to the existing people that already know QuakeC.

For the most part. 
 
Just call it Q5C to echo Q3A 
Gameplay 
#73 
Yeah I think it looks pretty cool. The environment art looks a fair bit more basic than Doom 4's, but that's not a problem - I can just pretend the game was made circa 2010 as opposed to 2016, and go from there. At least it should run nice on my laptop.

I'll probably just buy it to fly around the maps and look at the architecture. 
I Will Probably. 
Watch Kinn streaming himself flying around looking at the architecture.

If I;m bored. And it's dark and raining and no-one is streaming anything like paint drying for example.

It looks bland and generic as fuck. And isn't there already another UT coming out anyway??

Funny I watched the DOOM mp dlc trailer after this and at least that has some character and theme to it...... 
Q3 Veteran's Thoughts On Qchamps So Far 
Hm 
- he's using rocket arena as example :/
- he describes well some of the problems with promode movement
- he does not talk about the maps in any way. This is a good representation of the community in general. 
Mapping Supported? 
Is there any news about that, is it going to be brush-based level design editor or something messy that nobody wants to even try. 
Q3A2017

Same old same old. Great graphics, great designs, all wasted on very very bog standard DM. 
 
Awwwww, they even kept the cute little "beep beep beep" when you shoot people. 
"Quetoo"? 
"Quake Spampions", more like. 
 
quake2\quake4 settings and enemies were never as interesting as the variety offered by quake 1 (including its more modern mods)

best thing would be to mix the two settings 
Yeah 
I think a mixture of Q1 and Q2 would work best if the split was something like 100% Q1 and 0% Q2 
Q2 BFG Tho 
 
That railgun though!!! 
Quake Champions 
I am torn on this because I fucking loved Quake 3 back in the day. It's one of the most honed and perfect FPS MP experiences of all time. The perfect mix of arcadeyness and skill.

However I feel like it's shit that Quake isn't getting the Wolf/Doom treatment. It's half-arsed and basically shows id's lack of love for ol' Quake. Hell, the best gift we got was an episode made by JF Gustafferson (or whatever his name is, sorry if I got your name wrong).

On the other hand I probably will drop money on Quake Champions BECAUSE of my love for Q3. Also the arenas look pretty decent so far. 
It's Because Doom 2016 Did Well 
The Doom and Quake single-player stuff is basically interchangeable in terms of how it would play these days. Same mechanics, weapons, powerups. Demons vs shotguns.

I think we're gonna see Doom = SP, and Quake = MP from here on out, because that's the only tangible gameplay difference between the two brands at this point. 
Q3A Was Terrible As An MP Game Before QL Fixed It Tho. 
Broken damage feedback and player visibility to say the least. 
Maybe Quake V Will Be A Doom 2016 Expansion Pack 
 
Quake Live Fixed It? 
Not sure about that, loadouts and a lack of item placement took away a lot of the fun for me 
Oh I Meant Before Loadouts Ruined QL, Yeah. 
Basically it's all fucked. When's the Doom4 SP DLC again?? 
 
When's the Doom4 SP DLC again

Those resources are probably being put into a full-blown sequel, if they've got any sense.
