b)Picking up all weapons
c)Timing all items
d)Maybe more focused on Team vs Team for e-sports
e)No way its gonna get released for consoles - maximum performance and capabilities
f)Taking opinions from veteran/pro quake players, some testing it themselves (quake lab)
g)120hz unlocked fps- strafe/rocket jumping and air control (already known)

Why is it that one game becomes popular you immediately have to have dozen of literal clones flooding the market? It's like they ran our of ideas.
This shit will obviously ride on the success of Overwatch and it will fail because developers haven't learned shit since WoW was released and there were hundreds of WoW clones which failed to gain any kind of popularity.

Quake's weapons are alright and the enemy design is good without needing two dozen different mook types, carried by fantastic level design that makes great usage of compact 3d spaces without resorting to backtracking mazes or wall-humping.

Quake singleplayer is better than Doom singleplayer. Fight me.

cont
Quake is a game of resources. Controlling weapon spawns, and blue/red power-ups is the way to get the upperhand and direct the flow of the game, eventually getting to level where you just run the spawns and break your opponent. Look at this match entirely won through strategic movement:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcwvZTYu9n8

Now imagine what happens if you throw some ITS HIGH NOON instagib bullshit in the mix
>>
>>341624137
They say it's going to be anywhere from 6,000 to 12,000. Maybe 20,000 or higher, if the Quake pros complain hard enough. Tick rate is directly proportional to how deep a game is, so realistically, you get into the millions, and videogames become deeper than sports. Then you get into the billions, and it will be deeper than life itself. Can't wait for that to happen, gonna be sick.
>>
>>341624120

>So basically, if I'm following you correctly, your argument is "It's not Quake"?

This is one of the two arguments that arena shooter nostoligiafags use to rationalize disparaging any new arena shooter out hand and never playing it.
At their core, A.S.N.F do not actually want to play arena shooters (otherwise they would be playing quake or ut right now), but rather use arena shooters as an excuse to be contrarian about contemporary games. This is why every arena shooter is dead (including quake live), but you have all these mouth breathers who come out of the woodwork claiming that they wish people would bring back arena shooters because COD/BF/etc. totally sucks man. This phenomenon also applies in spades for RTS games.

I genuinely feel sorry for the companies that get duped by these losers into making arena shooters and old school shooters in general, under the impression that a market exists for them (e.g. toxikk, reflex, ROTT).

Perfect balance does not mean that all weapons are equal in all situations. Obviously machinegun is weak, but its your starting weapons, rail is good for sniping, shaft for middle, and RL and plasma for close range combat, grenade launcher is good for map control, in other words the game does three things:
1. It encourages you to switch weapons depending on situation
2. It encourages you to change you play style depending on what weapons you currently have at hand
3. It encourages you to control the map in a way that makes getting these weapons hard for your opponent

That's actually why I'm hype for the new quake. I don't care for reflex and the like because it's essentially a reskin. I wan't a new game that will scratch that arena itch, but a bit different all the same. And I really fucking hope they pull it off.

Look up any arena shooter of the last 10 years, from Warsow to Reflex, on Steamspy and look at the player numbers. You'd be hard pressed to find anything besides Quake live that has more than 100 active players.

Halo 1-3 were actually arena shooters. They were just slow and controllers made it impossible to aim.
>>
the wider audience doesn't want quake, it'll retain its core players which are in the 4 digits now but nobody actually wants to play quake
it'll be like "woo, quake, arena shooters, yeah" for like two months and then it won't be fotm anymore
>>
If anyone with some sway over the development of the game has half a brain they'll make it so there's a matchmaking option to play some kind of "Classic Mode" where all the abilities and stat changes (if there are any) are disabled, or make a custom lobby option where you can do it.

Some of the previous Halo games have done the same thing so ideally they will follow suit.

Not only is that wrong (there's a reason to use every weapon except the plasma gun but that's due to latency making it an unreliable weapon), but weapon balance does not take place in a vacuum: availability and ease of access of the weapon and its ammo are factors that need to be considered when determining whether a weapon is balanced or not.

>>341631492
>its been proven no one wants these anymore
No it's not. A bunch of ugly indie games failing is not proof there is no demand for good arena shooters anymore (I don't mind ugly but the fact is they have absolutely no visibility or larger market appeal)

>>341631548
Yeah strafe jumping gives out of combat mobility and a little bit of combat mobility, while dodge jumping gives a lot of combat mobility and a little bit of out of combat mobility. Even though I think Quake's movement is better designed, I like ut2k4's system and there's a lot of neat jumps you can do to navigate the map in different ways.

So I tried to play Quake a few times previously, but I just couldn't get into it. Same with Quake 2.

Today I installed a mod called "Quake 1.5" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60wQD1u4VZg&ab_channel=jackoneill45) and now I found myself enjoying it a lot more. I figured out what was my problem with Quake.

The guns are ass.

In an FPS the most important thing is arguably the guns and Quake's guns just felt so lame after playing Doom, it's hard to imagine it's done by the same guys. Now if only there was a mod that added muzzle flashes to Quake 2 that would be grand.

I find it a shame that the new Quake will be multiplayer only, because there's a lot of potential in the series for an amazing singleplayer game, especially Quake 1's weird giant electric yetis.

skyrim is a success, fallout 4 was a success. but they are neither multiplayer game nor made by Id, or announced as pc exclusive or some esport shit.
nu doom has decent single player that tick all the boxes of why d1 2 are good. They will never remake d1 2, mind you, because in this day and age it's impossible to sell AAA game like that.
