What happened to Quake? I really do love 1-4 but there are a lack of people playing them.
Does anyone here still play?
If it's possible to find quake games every day in australia, you can find games anywhere
>>343609664
yeah I find quake live games pretty frequently, but i also mean 1, 2, and 4
>>343610036
See, the thing is, there's
>the one quake game that is the multiplayer quake game
and
>the other quake games that are primarily single player games
There's a couple european hipsters who still play quake 1 for shits and giggles

I mostly just play reflex, I used to play ql before it was on steam and sometime after but still didn't get it for free because i didn't have it installed when they made that change so fucking buying it again
the way to play these games is to be part of the community which confuses most people since they are just used to hitting that matchmaking button and getting thrown into a game with random people
>>343608893
we play Quake Live
>>343610809
> i didn't have it installed when they made that change so fucking buying it again
Message SyncError and he'll sort that out for you, I think the best way is on twitter
I bitched about it on the steam forums and a copy of the game showed up in my account
Quake Live is what the majority play these days.
Outside of that you are left with QW and CPMA which require you to join an IRC to find pickup matches.
q4 was a mistake.
I hope UT4 breathes some new life into this genre.
>>343611392
>UT
>new life
>UT4 It's already dead
kek
kek
>>343611392
You misspelled Quake Champions
>>343611865
what makes you think it will be good
you retards are all the same just begging for anything new that comes along, remember when ROTT was the the return of arena shooters
or toxikk
or Doom
just stop
>>343612196
Tim Willits has been going around to every press outlet he can find to talk about how much the game is not going to be like overwatch, how it's more or less an updated version of Quake Live in a new graphics engine
http://metro.co.uk/2016/06/21/quake-champions-tim-willits-interview-people-are-afraid-of-quake-which-is-kind-of-awesome-5958340/
What's harder, killing WoW or resurrecting Arena shooters?
>>343612345
that's not all he said
also if they handle it like they handled ql it's gonna be a huge fuckup
gonna wait to see what they have to show at quakecon but I was pretty apathetic toward it even when it was announced
People are too busy saying how much they love quake to actually play quake.
>>343612782
yeah i wish they'd actually fucking play so i can more often
Complaining about how there aren't any good arena shooters anymore is a full time job, not leaving much times for playing video games.
>>343608893
Funny OP. I just played it an hour ago. Still enjoy every game except 4. It's ultimately why I never want another main game like that in the series.
>>343612782
>>343612858
Fucking this.
btw New arcane dimensions episode near next month
>>343612980
i thought 4 was a disgusting piece of shit but i ended up enjoying it more than live.
>>343611529
It's literally pre-alpha with 0 marketing.
>>343611865
>Quake Champions
Whoo boy am I excited for yet another ass team-based dota-like hero shooter.
>>343612782
this is probably what will happen with champions remember all the shit at e3 people freaking out over how "quake is back xDD" they'll just play it for 5 minutes then go back to dota/overwatch whatever
unless they do go out of the way to butcher the gameplay that is
>>343613054
Literally posted the interview with Tim saying is still Quake >dota hero overwatch
fuck off
how about we all get together and have a nice deathmatch in quake?
The local QW community sort of died here, and i lost interest even though there are still some decent groups of competitive quakers around. Why can't my friends be happy being stuck in the past the way i am?
I don't want to be a HPB when they could just come back and play with me ;_;
>>343613431
i feel you. i have only one friend who likes to play me in any of the quakes, but he quits after i completely shit on him. he's a noob at all skilled based games.
>>343613552
Yeah, all my friends play Overwatch or CS now. And they're not really that good at either of those, so they just act like football fans that don't play the game but gets super invested in pro teams as if it validates them sucking at it in the first place.
One of my friends has 10k USD worth of skins, and all he does is watch CSGO matches and call me a noob because i don't play.
This is why people shoot up schools anon...
>>343610809
Reflex is fucking dead, impossible to find a game most times, and one of the devs just left. There's like one actual programmer there now.
I just realised that the release version of doom doesn't have bots for multiplayer but the leaked alpha did
the multiplayer is fucking dead too no way to even see if people are playing because hurr no servers only matchmaking
>>343613282
I wouldn't mind playing
got ezquake installed
>>343613870
lmfao the same friend i was just talking about dropped well over 2k on league and cs. Never got out of bronze in league and never got out of silver in cs.
I'm actually kinda glad someone is in a similar situation as i
>>343614021
i have nquake. the servers should be the same right? if not i could probably get ezquake.
Or you could get nquake because its literally install and play.
>>343614045
>I'm actually kinda glad someone is in a similar situation as i
This is how /r9k/ and sonic fan art started, maybe we should just go our separate ways before gets out of hand...
>>343614276
or maybe not and we can start drawing quakeworld fan art
>>343614107
yeah ill just download it and see how it goes then
>>343614445
can't fucking wait
>>343614368
this is exactly what i was trying to avoid
>>343612345
I'll reserve judgement until more details on these "champions" are revealed. No loadouts is good but what's so wrong with everyone being on a level playing field at start, no special fluff, just Quake? Give us a classic mode dammit
>>343614632
don't fight it, big boy
>>343614718
They've heard a lot of people asking for a classic mode, it'll probably be in. Or just get everybody to pick the same character.
>>343614718
>what's so wrong with everyone being on a level playing field at start, no special fluff, just Quake?
It's fucking dead, that's what's wrong with it.
>Give us a classic mode dammit
Fuck that, all the 'hardcore' fans will just play that one and the main game will be dead. Quakefags can't be trusted with multiple gamemodes it just splits the playerbase like CPMA.
There are so many quakeclones with about three players because everyone insists on playing their exact perfect version, Bethesda should tell them to stfu and play the normal game.
>>343614514
>syd.besmella.com #1 (52.64.154.198:28501)
kinda surprised there are so many servers running still
>>343615003
>everyone will play the one mode they bought a quake game to play, thus the game will be dead because people are playing it
>>343615137
i'll start looking for it now
>>343608893
I want a true sequel to Quake 1.
Arcane Dimensions was alright, you just need that kind of stuff with a more modern engine so it can look better and be even more intricate.
>>343612345
>Quake Live has been free to play since 2008
and it's cost money since 2015, how does id not know this shit?
>>343615153
Except everyone wants their own special perfect mode so each mode will have about four players. Devs of quake and quake clones need to stop pandering.
>>343613184
Until we actually get hands on that is what it will be, faggot, why the fuck would they call it CHAMPIONS if it's not really a first person dota?
Or am I supposed to believe the word of the developer who might as well be lying trying to bait retards into preorder by making them think it's something new?
>>343615965
hey buddy I think you've got the wrong server, the clan arena is two scrolls down.
>>343615137
sorry for the retardation
>>343616339
just join that same one m8
>>343616645
alright
How does one even play Quake 1 and 2 online these days?
>>343618137
by being terrible at Quake Live.
>>343618137
n quake/ezquake
q2pro
literally retard proof online play
I play QL every day. There are definite concerns about longevity but one of the main things you can do about it is to be an active member of the community.
Quake will never be popular because it's difficult and failure is obvious. The people who like it, then, have to work to keep it alive.
new version of quakespasm
>http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/download.htm
>more maps for arcane dimensions soon
>>343614014
Reflex isnt even a finished game, how the fuck can it be dead before its released?
And newborn wasnt even a programmer, they've always had one programmer.
HUH
>>343619990
>>343613019
>btw New arcane dimensions episode near next month
Oh shit, did they finally get a solid release date?
what was that one match with like half a minute on the clock after a pause and the guy who was behind still won it? can't find it on youtube.
>>343608893
>those filters
>>343615197
Why does it need to do that, though? AD looks very fucking good while still mostly adhering to Q1 engine limitations, and intricacy is entirely dependent on the mapper's skill with brushes once you get rid of the engine's cap on environmental brushes and entities.
>>343619814
holy shit that map looks cool, reminds me of an old Spyro game
what's new in QS from 0.91?
>>343620357
More like Brightplaces
>>343620357
>just filters
>not the god-awful texture pack and new models
also that isn't dorkplaces, that's ezquake which includes that garbage for some reason
>>343608893
many (most?) of the people who still play quake multiplayer have been doing so continuously since they came out, and they've become utterly Godlike at them, getting into them new can be kinda hard
When are they gonna reveal more characters in Q:C? I want to see Crash. Or any other female Q3A characters.
>>343620512
controller support and borderless windowed mode
>>343620282
this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uytIoL0lXlA
here is a hype as fuck duel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIKFR9UhEbY
>>343620357
>you can turn filtering off in UT99 but it fucks up the level's lighting if you do it
Fuck me I can never win. Weapons and models look fucking great like this, but the arenas end up looking like ass.
>>343620837
>borderless windowed mode
Hey alright that's pretty neat, although not entirely useful
>controller support
wat
>>343620792
>implying any of those round assed, big titted, skingitght pants wearing characters will be back in this era of gaming
lmaoing at your life
>>343620896
They've already got that neon ice cream headache new girl in the trailer. Let me dream.
>>343620893
UE is a strange and mysterious beast.
>install UT99 again
>horrible mouse lag no matter what I do or what video renderer I pick
>shit is literally unplayable
>install deus ex
>no issues at all
>>343620837
nah it was at a big LAN tournament, map was pro-q3tourney4
strange how I can't find it
>>343608893
Reflex
>>343621170
there should be some box to tick for raw mouse input or something
>>343621552
It did nothing. Even went into the preferences menu and made sure direct input was enabled there- no dice.
>>343621170
look up MarkC's mousefix.
>>343621691
That's to remove mouse acceleration, and I already have MarkC's fix applied for playing other older games that fuck with the pointer precision option. It's not accel that's an issue, it's input delay, very noticeable amounts of it.
>>343621743
how about vsync? "swapinterval" or "use vsync" needs to be 0 in the settings of your preferred renderer.
>>343621925
Vsync is off, both ingame and made sure my GPU drivers weren't overriding anything. Framerate is way above my refresh rate, so far that I'm getting pretty noticeable tearing in fact.
I honestly have no idea what the deal is.
>try playing Quake online
>the closest populated server has 150 ping
>try playing Quake 2 online
>the closest populated server has 250 ping
>Quake Champions will probably be the same shit except Bethesda will overprice it to hell and back like they did D44M so nobody will play it to begin with
I hate my fucking country.
>>343621170
There are third-party and unofficial renderer DLLs like DX10/DX11 and a more up-to-date OpenGL one, and I think even a better DX9 driver, all offer improved responsiveness from mouse input
...I'd link, but I'm only passively on /v/ right now, currently in a game (and I can't remember where it was from)
>>343622089
where? there are a bunch of servers on every continent and you can always just host your own
>>343621170
>>343621743
>>343622012
Here you go:
http://kentie.net/article/d3d10drv/
http://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/
Switching to either the new OGL display driver or DX10 improved the perceived "input lag" for me (since the game was actually responding to inputs on time on my end, just the display that lagged behind, based on audio tests)
These might help you, too.
