Because they confirmed strafe jumping for one. You can't pull it off with a gamepad.
>>341499229
QTF and other various class modes/mods don't count as classic arena shooter?
>>341499634
they did?
as in the real Sanic from old quake?
How am i supposed to know?
>>341499809
"classic arena shooter" means a death match arena with weapons and powerups that you pick up. those regenerate after a certain amount of time.
both players are completely equal in terms of gameplay, otherwise it is only skill in the map that decides who wins.
games like TF2 are team-based DM shooters. They still have the DM like in Quake, but they don't weapons and powerups that can be picked up. It relies on team composition and teamplay rather than map control and solo strategy
>>341500421
>i maek poost
>>341500731
classes and pickups are not mutually exclusive, it's all been done before
Trailer was pretty hype to be honest.
Turok revival when?!
I can't think of what else from the doom engine they can reboot that's worthy.
>>341500957
its just not a classic arena shooter. might as well call a chair a table since they both hold shit up
>>341499220
What the fuck are you talking about nigger? Did you watch E3?
What do you guys think about Lawbreakers?
>>341501115
every classic game has pickups and theres atleast team fortress 1 with classes, and if you count AvP
>>341497713
No way, anon. It'll have exciting three-sentence backstories for each of the memorable characters from the Quake series; each character having their own special abilities and perks. You'll experience all of the team-oriented multiplayer gameplay that you have come to expect from Quake, such as King of the Hill, MVP Escort, and Bomb Defusal.
>>341499948
One of the devs gave a keynote of sorts. I didn't watch it myself yet but I see no reason esreality would lie:
http://www.esreality.com/post/2821458/quake-champions-announced/
I'm really hoping they're using the abilities pitch to cater to a new generation. The entry level for quake has always been absurdly high, so I assume they're trying to mitigate that in a way. I highly doubt they would totally dump classic 1v1, especially since they're pushing it as a competitive game.
I'm mildly optimistic, e-sports is bigger then ever and there's a niche for a highly skil based arena fps, especially in terms of 1v1. There's literally serious competitve 1v1 game since sc2 died.
If they'll be smart about it, they can very well pull it off.
>>341501430
I meant "there's literally no serious competitive 1v1 game since sc2 died"

At least in the CGI I feel a vibe of the Quake 3 aesthetics. And Quake 3 aesthetics are 10/10

Was hyped until I saw people warping around. Will be an Overwatch clone.
>>341501571
the FGC would have words with you over that
>>341501115
so if i play NTF on a cpma server im not playing an arena shooter? or if i play weapons factory? go fuck yourself.
>>341501668
You do understand that quake 1 single player was stitched together just to make the deadline? They only seriously considered SP at the very beginning of the project.
Quake at it's core has always been about multiplayer.
>>341501330
Looks bretty good too, I'm hyped that 2016 might the start of a shooter renaissance.
>>341501925
>you mean if i'm playing q3 rally i'm not playing an arena shooter? go fuck yourself
>>341502043

I want a sanic fast eldritch shooter with 2016 production values, sue me
Is Unreal Engine 4 UT shit? Yes, yes it is.
Will the new Quake be shit? Yes, yes it will.
>>341501818
Wolf2009 was great, fuck you.
>>341502269
are you a faggot? yes, yes you are
>>341501920
Yeah, my bad. It's mostly console though, and my exposure to high skill 1v1 games was mostly through pc up until relatively recently.
>>341502269
>Is Unreal Engine 4 UT shit?
no
>>341499010
Classes were done much earlier than overwatch.
>>341502594
Overwatch invented FPS moran
>>341502264
Sure, but sure as shit the SP didn't keep the scene alive for 20 years.
>>341502210
Nice false equivalence. Classes can be and in many cases are nothing more than what you spawn with.
>>341501668
>not liking stroggs
Confirmed to having not played either of the Quakes at launch. Quake 2 was vastly superior to Quake 1, even if the story was completely different.
>Bethesda.
You tell me.
>>341500974
If they do Turok there better be frustrating bullshit platforming
>people bitching about classes
Besides, they implied it's going to be like Q3 but each character having one special ability, like Ranger's orb / teleport thing from Q1.

>>341502758
Quake 2 was shit, m8. The only thing good was the engine.
>>341502892
it's annoying because we want a CLASSIC arena shooter, built for duels, not team based heroes with abilities on cooldowns
>>341503014
When Overwatch became clearly successful, and the entire Bethesda part of the E3 conference appeared to be a direct attack at Blizzard.
>>341502656
I can't argue that
>>341503090
They said nothing about team based gameplay. In fact they out right said 'deathmatch' when talking about the game. And who's to say they won't have a mode to play the game without the special shit?
>Made by Inversion devs
Definately.
>>341503087
Not even remotely true. Quake 2 was sick as hell.
>>341503090
If they'll have 1v1 then I'm pretty sure there will be an option to choose the same char/disable skills. And it's really unlikely they would dump 1v1 altogether

Because it's quake. Why would you play Quake with a controller?
Wow, I am so disgusted with many posts in this thread. Where has the real competitive spirit gone? Games that do not feature any special sort of distinguishing players (classes, abilities, perks) endure and entertain much longer than most of their peers.
How can you people be so skewed towards dismissing this purely skill-based gameplay, where players have the same capabilities? I mean, holy shit. I am legitimately upset. Play some Jedi Outcast or something.
>>341504750

Are you high or something? They said that this new Quake game will feature classes and abilities, just like Team Fortress, Overwatch, Battleborn and other shitty modern games.
>>341504904
>>341503090
Adding skills isn't that big of a hit. Movement, speed, aim and pickups is what makes the quake formula.
They were gradually probing the market for the classic fps crowd:
-wolf - sp only with a story, reduced health regen mechanics and pickups, no mp
-doom - full blown old school sp + some modern tweaks, with a slapped on lame modern multiplayer, which didn't cut it
I assume quake is a doom approach but the other way around.
>How can you people be so skewed towards dismissing this purely skill-based gameplay
I'm not, but you can't fucking make a 1 to 1 quake remaster these days. It wouldn't bring people in. It's that simple.
>>341497713
It's not Quake, it'll be Quakerwatch
>>341505601
skills and DM shooters don't mix.
A game like dota has skills. The attacks in dota never miss also. If I use a spell and target it on someone, it will hit them. The entirety of skill in that genre revolves around using your abilities at the the right time.
A DM shooter revolves a round superior reading of your opponents moves, playing mind games, and having certain play styles in terms of combat. It's oil and water
>>341505510
Yeah, read my post again. I am crying about that addition.
>>341503480
i liked quake 2 because it was my first entry into the series.
Maps were more realistic in 2, but the maps of the original were more designed around actual gameplay so they aged better for me.
>>341506315
you just contradict yourself anon
>>341497713
Not sure. I just hope they don't do that shitty load out system other classed based games have. Having unique skills and traits for each characters would be nice.
>>341505437
you have a difficult time with reading i think
>>341507552
If the trailer is anything to go off of, then you pick up guns in the maps / from opponents, as we saw Ranger kill that mook and take his lightning gun.
>>341506315
>The attacks in dota never miss also. If I use a spell and target it on someone
Haven't played for a few years, but that's bullshit. There's a huge number of skills that you have to aim with. Not quake level brake-neck speed aiming of course, but still.
> The entirety of skill in that genre revolves around using your abilities at the the right time.
That's not true. You need to read your oponent and be very well aware of his positioning.
>A DM shooter revolves a round superior reading of your opponents moves
they just add another layer to that. if I can for example teleport every 30 seconds, the opponent needs to be aware of that and read when and where i may teleport
>having certain play styles in terms of combat
The play styles will vary from character to chracter then
Like I said - if they have 1v1, I'm pretty sure they'll include a setting to turn it off, as balancing a roster of assymetrical chars in an fps will be a pain.
lovecraftian/medieval horror based shooter that retains the action of the 90s when
>>341503090
Quake was never purposefully built for duels. And only a sliver of each game's overall community actually played duel more than once, if not more than zero times.
>>341508942
CTF Master Race.
I wouldn't get too excited about the competitive side. Esports used to be community driven, these days they're just another market devs want to sell to.
They release a game, host a tournament and guarantee sales of their game. The lifespan is short, balance is never a consideration and then some kids get $10k and go on local news.
Quake Live is the only true esport left, and QC won't change that
>>341504750
It's confirmed on console I think.
>>341509682
"E-sports" has always been bullshit cash grabs fueled by initial hype and a few sponsor bux. Grassroots tournaments have always just been that, tournaments. Plus fighting games have been doing it longer than FPSs and are still going strong.
It's not being made by ID so yeah it's gonna be shit
>>341501823
Id is making the multi-player
>>341509760
Nope, it's confirmed PC exclusive.At least for launch, the future may yield console versions.

I don't think it was confirmed to be PC exclusive yet could be out for scorpio and ps4 neo

There's at least pickups, no apparent loadouts, and sjumping, rocketjumping and shit are in
I'm optimistic, somewhat

How much you want to bet it got turned into Quake Champions?
>>341502892
I'm worried it will be too little, actually.
They have confirmed that they have different stats too, though. Blue Hair Lady rocketjumps higher than most, for example.
>>341508942
3 kind of was designed for Duel, though.
>>341509082
Yes.
>>341512696
Isn't it done in cooperation, not straight up outsourced?
But yeah, holy shit I'm mad.
>>341512745
Battle-something. Yeah.
Doubt it did, a lot. I don't even recall them battle-w/e heroes using abilities.
>>341513213
>Isn't it done in cooperation, not straight up outsourced?
Probably will be like DOOM, Id handles the SP and someone else the multi, or maybe the opposite.
They're pretty busy now I'd wager.
>>341499010
I hope most gamemodes only have these characters as cosmetic changes. It would be cool though to have a gamemode where they can actually access their special abilities but it shouldn't be in the whole game.
>>341513740
There's no SP.
>>341505276

It'll have Denuvo which automatically disqualifies it.
>>341497713
It might be okay. I am going to play it, but I was really hoping id would reboot quake the same way they did doom.
As Homefront was the dying breath of the modern warfare , overwatch was the birth of the class based shooter
I'm 100% calling it
>>341518214
It's a style that's never going to be possible with an AAA publisher. Q1's level design is just too archaic and minimalistic for modern mainstream standards.
Each character will get not only their own abilities but also their own attributes (Tim Willits specifically said in reference to the blue hair girl "she can rocket jump really high"). This is Quake and I don't like that they're trying to shoehorn class style shit into what should essentially be a game where everyone is equal in their attributes and spawn weapons and you use nothing but skill and teamwork to control map resources. QuakeCon is August 4th so we'll see then just how class based it really is, but I wouldn't expect capture the point or payload shit, I think it'll have TDM, CTF, Clan Arena, and maybe even 1v1 (id software has been running 1v1 tournaments since 1996).
>>341519270
I wasn't just talking level design; theme and atmosphere play into it too.
>>341518807
They still might, this is specifically "Champions", not 5 or whatever they'd call it.
>>341521142
Clan Arena is so fucking bad man, I don't know why everyone loves it.
Well I do know, but I don't like it
I'm thinking about getting the Quake collection on the Steam sale. Is it worth it?

Buy it and be educated in what good FPS games are.
>>341519159
>calling something thats been evident for months
You nailed it brah
>>341521778
If they can't get the level design right, then it simply isn't Quake to me. Quake's style of level design has been ignored and forgotten for way too long. Theme and atmosphere are of less importance.
>>341497713
At this point I don't care what it fucks up. If it has non-team game modes and weapon pick ups I'll be happy. I'm fucking sick of all modern shooters being team focused, I just want some good fast paced free for all gameplay for once.
>>341513968

>>341499010

>>341521872
I don't know if they include Quake 4 in that collection but the campaign of that was pretty weak and the MP, while it is pretty good and completely arena style, doesn't really have active servers that aren't free for all
>>341499229
Overwatch does not have arena style gameplay.
>>341502269
Unreal Engine 4 is good. A lot better than Unity. It's probably the best engine you'll find for general purposes that isn't specifically made for a game.
yes, when you have the only female all sexualised up in the trailer of course it's going to be shit to bait white neckbeards in
>People saying it will be an Overwatch despite the fact that they said will be classic arena style with pickups and shit
Even if they are "character abilities", they'll likely have a Classic mode where that shit is turned off. Stop sperging out at least until gameplay is shown.
>>341524140
This, I can assure you the only reason they went with the whole Champions meme is because they want to cash in to the whole cosmetic market shit, they saw Valve making big bucks with csgo and tf2 and they wanted in
The casuals will be segmented into their own area, only I doubt modding will be in to prevent the community from cutting into their cosmetic shit, expect some snap map shit at most

I love this game so far but the guys that play it are demons. I can understand them wanting to ease people into the genre but so long as the movement and weapon mechanics are there the pros will just shit on people no matter what abilities they have.

Probably best to see gameplay.
It sounds like a completely shitty idea to do for Quake, but I will atleast give them the benefit of the doubt and wait for actual gameplay and responses from the gameplay.
>>341530619
The problem is that Reflex ain't much of an introduction to the genre, and it appeals to the really competitive crowd.
Fun game though. CTF and FFA are easier if you can find games for them. CA too.
>>341530876
I did though. It was atmospheric, but not a horror game at all. Spooky at times, I guess.
Hell the original intention wasn't even horror.
>>341531415
It is, but the pic itself was kinda weird.
I like the japan map.
>>341502043
That doesn't make much sense since FPS multiplayer was virtually nonexistent prior to Quakeworld's release a year after Quake. 95% of the attention DOOM got was for the single player while the MP represented a market nowhere near large enough to carry a AAA-at-the-time title on a commercial level.
>>341531701
>I did though. It was atmospheric, but not a horror game at all. Spooky at times, I guess.
Maybe not outright survival horror but it definitely wasn't exactly all about high-speed Sanic the Hedgehog action. The OST makes the intended focus of the game pretty clear.
>>341497713
I recently found a sealed copy of Quake 1.

So basically other classes are slow as shit and you're limited to a few weapons on a class basis.
>Champions will allow you to play the play style you enjoy - Quake lead dev.
Well shit, i guess the old quake didn't? What he actually meant was: shitties now have it super easy so that they don't have to learn. Old quake let you play the style you wanted and you were free to chose whatever weapon you wanted defeating the point of classes.
To be honest, hard core fps like quake 3 arena, cpma, and many other arena fps are a dying breed. The casual market is what killed most skill based games. Everyone wants to be "good" from the get go, it's the same mentality we have in our society where everyone gets a medal and there are participation trophies for doing the simplest things. You see this in overwatch where press Q to get POTG is a thing. For ID and Bethesda there is absolutely no other way that they can compete and be profitable without dumbing things down to cater to the widest audience possible. Hero shooters are the future for fps as there is a high demand for it and it'd be stupid for Bethesda to ignore it.
>>341533810
Um... have you been in a coma?
w/o the fantastic singleplayer that W:TNO and nuDoom had, it'll be just "ok".
I guess both Quake storylines are kill.Too bad, I wanted to see more of Quake 1 fleshed out.
>Quake
>Fucking Quake
>2016
oldfag here. The only thing I can think about right now is the fact that around 97% of this current generation can't into shit that is an "arena shooter"
Too complex. Too hard. Too everything.
Even if it turns out not shit there's no way this game will be a success unless they already know and have lowered their expectations.
>>341535035
No why?
>>341501330
I like grapping dagger girl. Could be fun. Looks more personal skill based than OW.

>>i like nix because she's the fastest character and has a rocket launcher. - Quake lead dev.
Didn't he say that he liked her because she can rocket jump real high, not because she has a rocket launcher?
And weapons seem to be able to be picked up.
>>341535476
Too fucking boring and bullshit, more like. Q1 MP is bollocks if you play with someone even remotely skilled.
>>341535998
Unreal 2 came out over a fucking decade ago, man.
The comparison to Overwatch is a joke.
Quake is played 1v1 in a competitive environment. All the other big 1v1 competitive games (Starcraft, Madden, Fighting Games in general) have selectable races, teams, or characters.
Doing the same thing in Quake is just par the course. It creates more design space, and a more interesting metagame. This also appeals to casuals better, by allowing more diverse playstyles that rope in players who wouldn't usually enjoy Quake.
Selectable characters is the natural progression of Quake. It not only gives the metagame more depth, but also could potentially attract new blood to a dying franchise.
It's a win-win, as long as duels are still the focus of competitive play, players can pick up more than two guns, and items are on the map.
>>341537023

Nonsense, I would now about the amazing sequel to an amazing game.
>>341497713
Everyone expected DOOM to be shit, and it wasn't, so who knows.
>>341538728
Why did people think it would be shit again?
i expect duel to be left unchanged from where the left off in ql
the class based stuff will basically be loadouts 2.0 for casual modes, but that's fine, the entry bar to quake is too high
>>341540748
>entry bar for quake is too high
pussy.
>>341540748
How the fuck do you casualize quake? This shit ain't for babies.
You either get quake or a game that isn't quake. Your choice - 60 seconds!
>>341537023
Basically this, but I wonder how it would work in team modes.
>>341537359
Ah you meanie head you.
>>341540748
Duel is hard. Every other mode isn't.
>>341541371
Man, don't write like a fag.
>>341499010
>people unironically using the term 'overwatch clone' when overwatch wasn't even the first 'hero shooter' out of the gate
Fucking kill yourselves, Blizzdrones. While Quake Champions and Lawbreakers won't be as timeless as Quake or Unreal Tournament, they sure as hell will be more fun than Overwatch's sterile playing experience.
>>341535476
don't forget too fast. heck you can play quake live now and compare it to the glacial pace of overwatch (yet for some reason the time to kill in overwatch is so fucking tiny despite being so slow, what the fuck?).
>>341497713
>being developed by third-rate third party devs on the same tier as the people who did the Doom multiplayer
I'm sure it'll be great guys.
>>341542690
let's just hope they release some sort of beta/alpha that people can give feedback on
>>341542690
Hoping they just borrowed some fx guys or something.
>>341542661
TTK in OW is kind of hard to quantify I think
>>341503090
>We want classic quake!
>Quake Live, and Q3 Arena are dead
Maybe you want it, maybe a lot of people say or think they want it, but it sure doesn't show.
>>341543187
Is it wrong for them to stop playing something that is decades old?
Gee, maybe they want some fresh.
>be hyped for overwatch

Guess I know what I'm playing then.
>>341543631
A straight up arena shooter with modern graphics isn't what most people really want, just ask Unreal Tournament 3 and Unreal Tournament 2016.
>>341543858
>free to play
>Nexon
Have fun with that
>>341503090
Basically noone wants AFPS for duels.
>>341544116
It's buy to play, like Overwatch.
>>341543858
Don't really know why did you post this here but ok
Did you try UT alpha
>>341544116
It's not free to play, but they fucked up already by marketing as such at first
>>341544109
Then what do they want?
>>341497713
>Bethesda post Morrowind
>not shit
pick one
>>341544127
1v1 competition is mostly dead unless you play fighting games.VF6 when
>>341544116
>free to play
>Nexon
I can already picture Clffy counting his Nexon dollars.
>>341544109
>>341544869
So tell me what they want, what they really really want
>>341511505
Nigga the dude litterally said "For pc" in the confrence
>>341538728
>D44M wasn't shit
>not even top-50 on Steam.
>Average 25% daily current player loss.
Nice try, Todd.
>>341544109
UT3 fucked up the mechanics of the game and had ugly as shit GoW aesthetics. While UT4 is getting there it's just straight up unfinished and people don't want to play it until it's done.
>>341544869
>>341545181
Fuck if I know, and really fuck if most of us know.
There are a lot of very smart people, indie and AAA, who solely work is to come up with mechanics and concepts that will impress gamers and most of the time they fail miserably, no matter whether they're trying to pander or not, so who really knows? That's for teams of people much smarter than me to figure out.
>>341545858
NO SELKET NO BUY
>>341545371
The MP determines a game's staying power, and Doom's MP was painfully average and not very Doomish at all.
The SP was great.
>>341545858
UT3 didn't fuck up much.
Also ffffffuck dodgejumping
>>341497713
I just remember Bethesda's whole plan.
>Rip off Burtal Doom for Doom game and hire Halo multiplayer studio
>Rip off Samsara for new Quake game and hire another Halo multiplayer studio.
What popular mod will Bethesda steal from next to beat the idsoftware dead horse with?
Are they trying to gobble up every third-party studio that worked on Halo multiplayer in the past decade?
>>341546345
SP was a blatant rip off Painkiller.

What is it with arena shooters and deathbots? I see Reflex has a thing for them and people wont stop clamoring for Xan and Cathode.
>>341546727
I don't even know what you're insinuating.
Painkiller was a good, but painfully average game with sub-par multiplayer.
It was essentially an edgier Serious Sam with more depth, but less bragged about.
>>341547237
man xan kriegor was fucking awesome
>>341547237
Blizzard went ahead and grabbed Cathode for Overwatch too.
>>341547558
I got really bored of Painkiller rather quickly. Doom's SP is much better.
>>341547237
Because most Afps players are actually escaped government kill droids who take out their murder-boners online.
>>341546776
Bethesda already tried to gobble up Splash Damage with Brink. (failed, but Splash is a husk now)
Still hurts. Brink and Rage were both dumbed down by Bethesda for console priority.
At least my favorite shooter that shall not be named in this thread let itself be killed by dev-infighting rather than failed sequel.
I miss games that have fun with their design and don't take themselves too seriously. So much shit at E3 was stupid pretentious narrative bullshit, I just can't bring myself to be deeply invested in these terribly written games
There doesn't need to be serious, well thought out justification for an ingame universe. The very fact that it's an interesting and fun universe is enough justification for it to exist, and I really wish devs would pick up on this
>>341547879
This is now my headcanon

Fuck off Todd.

I liked tf2 when it was about two corporations basically going above the law, not this australium bullshit
>>341547237
I think reflex's robots were just placeholders that became the mainstay. They wanted to have humans but the community latched onto the robots. Now they will have full on robot cosmetics so they aren't going back to the original idea.
>>341497713
Quake has always been shit
>>341548217
Played it like a year after release I think? Maybe a bit more.
I was really not exaggerating. Guns were neat and all but it didn't grab my attention for some reason. Still played it halfway through, maybe?
>>341548824
They were originally designed to fit the hitbox, too
>>341548310
What?
>>341545858
>UT3 fucked up the mechanics of the game
Nice meme. Its main faults were lack of content and innovation, not the mechanics. It barely did anything new, it had a sparse selection of DM and CTF maps, and it lacked modes from previous games so players didn't see enough reason to migrate.
>>341503090

I have to wonder why the entire quake 3 arena community doesn't just band together and play one game, instead of dividing themselves up amongst what, 3 games?
