Future of Quake

GameSurge has a short article taking a look at the 'future of quake' and the staying power the series seems to have. I do believe Tim Willits was quoted in a chat a while back stating that there will be no Quake4. Last month Graeme was talking about his inspirations for the next id Software game, which seems to be pointing in that same direction. It certainly doesnt look like Doom2000 either, hrmph...

  • I get so frustrated when you people say Quake sucks. AND for sure you are probably busy playing some mod for quake 2 or quake 3, hell maybe even quake 1. We all have our opinions and I can\'t really force my beliefs on you *subliminal message: quake rocks* but without Quake there would be almost video game community, no one would map/model/skin, wtf my keyboard is broken and I can\'t read what im typing?skinskin no comunity uhh i can see the cursor moving but no words how gay is that pretty gay yeah there would be no community quake really started all the user made stuff sure there was some sprite editing in wolfenstein WTF AM I SAYING doom started it all! DOOM is the culprit, quake still rawkz, okay ill shut up now I was just going to delete this post because anyone that reads it will think im a fag! WELL NEWS FLASH I am

  • Doom and Quake/Quake 2 were meant for Single player - the multiplayer was just kind of toss in there towards the end (Actually nevermind, i\'m sure they worked a lot on Quake 2\'s) ... but Doom/Doom 2 and Quake were basically just single player game. They were trying to set new standards and they did a really good job, I still play Quake/2 single player sometimes - I prefer Quake 1 for some reason but all in all it\'s good shit. I haven\'t played Doom single player in a while, not used to having no jump/crouch/use/mouse look ... I think id should do a game like Doom but the main character is Crash and she is naked and it\'s in third person did I mention she should be naked?

    Crash is hot









  • I make no sense in my posts, I just kept rambling wtf...anyways! :D Haha yeah there is more. Doom 2000 or Quake 4 would be their best bet, I personally think they should just keep doing shit like Quake 3 but add more options and stuff - I really want a single player game. But i\'m really digging DM with bots (Can\'t play online, my isp is fux0red with the authorize server), and that\'s almost better than single player. I used to be a strong believer in single player but now i\'m really just saying toss it and continue with this type of game, everyone likes it (except for the UT fan-boys, they are to 31337 for Quake3). As much as I hate EverQuest, after playing for 7 months and getting 2 level 50\'s (w00t) and like 30 other chars level 10-30 I think a Quake\'ish game like that would be fun. NO! NOT A RPG like EQ ... a huge massive online game would just be fucking heaven imho in the Quake universe. No fucking elves or anything, just rockets and huge ass levels. Maybe have some sort of war going on with guilds and stuff like that, duke it out in a huge abandoned warehouse type zone....*spppp00000g3*

  • Mods are gewd, yea...i\'ve played almost every mod for Quake 1, mods for Quake 2 kind of sucked - lots of junk, but there was a few things I enjoyed. I only play(ed) the popular mods when they first came out, I gave up on em sooner than most - IE Action Quake 2, and shit. I just hope id realizes we want Doom 2000 - with the Quake 3 engine. I got so many great ideas for first person shooters, and i\'m not just bragging - every single idea i\'ve had i\'ve pretty much kept ever since Quake came out. I can think of lots of stuff that hasn\'t been done and would be fun, but the problem is way to many engine limitations. I get like 80-120 FPS in Quake 3 and then BAM it just drags to like 12 or something when I open a door in some maps *Anti-Logic*. If they did do a doom 2000 I am wondering what engine they would use, I just beg em not to give the project to some other company. Unreal 2 is being fux0red by Legend who fux0red WoT, WoT sucked - Unreal was gewd....but theres nothing else to say. AND contrary to popular belief

    NOTHING STAYS THE SAME

    God I hate that quote \"The more things change, the more they stay the same.\" God its a dumb quote, so there is still dinosaurs and we are still cavemen and there is probably some futuristic people with light sabers and the analog models DOO-LOO BLEEP BLEEP
