A Quake Reboot Is in Development by Id Software - Rumor

WCCFTECH.COM

A Quake reboot is rumored to be in development by id Software. It will feature both single player and multiplayer modes

 

[Keyser_Soze]

Quake 3 was the only one I enjoyed.

[XxEvil AshxX]

I liked Quake 4, even though it was kinda bad.

 

I never played the original Quake. Even though it had its graphical advancements, to a kid who didn't know any better, it just looked like a Doom clone (of which there were many at the time).

[JPDunks4]

Both id and Machine Games did amazing jobs in their remakes of Doom and Wolfenstein, so I'd say they get benefit of the doubt they'll do well with this.

[Brian]

Quake had a story?

[Dre801]

About damn time if Doom and  Wolfenstein can return to glory, so should Quake.

[stepee]

Came in here also to mention please base it on the original Quake, or mishmash it with some portal stuff.

[Ominous]

Quake / Quake 2 were some of the best times I had playing games online.  Odds are it was because it was new and I was a teen with tons of free time...but Rocket Arena was just so much fun....and you didn't have to mute everyone since voice chat wasn't really a thing back then.

[ort]

I will probably be all over this. Loved Quake back in the day...

The original Quake had slightly more story than the original Doom.

 

Very slightly more.

[vaxick]

I'm interested, but I'd more so prefer a good arena shooter.

They should have zero story in any of these games.

 

DOOM 2016/2020's story should have been... "Oh no!  Demons! I'm going to shoot them in the face!"

Couldn't they both be summarized as humans opened a portal to another world which leads to them being overrun by murderous demons/aliens?

How Quake Shook the World: Quake Turns 25

After revolutionizing PC gaming with Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, id Software pulled off a hat trick with Quake, released on June 22, 1996. Quake mixed polygonal 3D graphics, networking, and grunge into a groundbreaking hit with wide influence. Here’s what made it special.

They kind of ruined it when they made Quake Champions and it was kind of the opposite of what people wanted.

[chakoo]

I enjoy the Quake 2 -> Quake 4 universe, I actually think Q4 was better than what people were shitting on back when it came out. Yet with that said I would love for them to go back into the more gothic style of Quake 1 again.

On that note. This cd still brings back memories for me (i'm referring to the crack side of it, lol)

Don't forget this gem! I heard it was decent on PC but it was ass on console.

I really liked Quake IV as well!

 

Remember the part where you were Stroggified?

 

 

[XxEvil AshxX]

Quake 4 wasn't bad... but it was basically Doom 3.5. Aesthetically it looked very similar.

 

But it is a good, mindless corridor shooter. I wish they'd make it BC cuz I still have my 360 disc.

[Bataar]

Quake II was the best, IMO.

Yeah but really the memory I have the most of Q4 is the improved portal physics in multiplayer. Nothing more fun than killing others by lobbing rockets and grenades through the portals at other players.

Earlier today the schedule for Quakecon 2021 went up, with a surprising bit of spoiler-y news to be found if one clicked into the calendar event for Friday's "Let's talk Quake" event. John Linneman of Digital foundry will be talking with Jerk Gustaffson of Machine games about a "revitalized edition" of the game Quake. Which appears to be a co-production between iD and Machine Games.

[stepee]

I hope that means a soft reboot of the original Quake, so a modern game with the atmosphere and style of the original Quake, because yes please.

[Dre801]

Long time coming.  I actually liked Quake 4 

[stepee]

I hope machinegames being involved isn’t a total cock tease and it doesn’t end up being another reboot of Quake 3.

[stepee]

because u have to see it too

[Reputator]

Oh this fucking rules!

[Bloodporne]

I admit I never really liked the Quake games despite being a massive Doom fan. I loved the atmosphere and soundtrack in the first one but always thought the guns and hit impacts felt weak and boring compared to Doom so I never even finished it back in the day. Quake 2 looked amazing when it came out and the gameplay was much better but I didn't like the switch in aesthetics at all so I dropped that one eventually as well. I'd play a reboot with the original's atmosphere etc. in a heartbeat and maybe it'll be another shot at getting a non-cartoon-cheese version of Doom since they're going all out with the Nickelodeon shit in that series now.

And Quake 3 Arena, the best one, you never played.

[Zaku3]

I am concerned in that I find Doom too slow. I like what they are going for but I feel the game would be more enjoyable with Quake 3 Arena speeds. Be cool if they made the PC version as fast as Quake 3 and keep the current speed of Doom for the Xbox version. 

[Zaku3]

You guys got me downloading Quake Champions and Live. Had a round of live it's actually pretty good. 

 

Edit: good news I can still hang with the youngins.

I suck way too much and don't have the competitive drive to play games like that. Also zero interest makes things a bit tricky.
