Let's settle this
2 for me.
3 doesn't even fit with the other games and 1 is pretty meh outside of it's historical importance. 4 was ok.
>>318418540
Best at what? Single player? 1 of course. Multi player? CPMA.
>>318419519
Quakeworld is better desu
>>318419672
For TDM it is. Not for duel though. From a competitive sense anyway. Pubs are just pubs innit bruv
>no quake is fucking dead option
I wish they would still make Quake single player games, ones of the only reasons to enjoy the multiplayer titles is because of the Doomguy skin, thats it.
Have they fixed Ql yet? I heared there was an update coming out to undo some of the changes.
What makes a quake game? Why are they all different? Is quake the final fantasy of fps?
>>318420512
Blood and guts everywhere and rocket jumps, i think
>>318420512
I think Wolfenstein games are a lot different from each other at the point where BJ got redesigned like 3 times
Quake singleplayer is a masterpiece, particularly because of the level design.
>>318420472
Yes.
>>318420056
It's for the best.
Do you really want a Bethesda made Quake running on Gamebryo?
not 2, not 4
didn't play quake wars
i'll try quake wars when the raytrace build is public
>>318421762
actually 2 was good on the expansion side, forgot about that
didn't like original campaign though
>>318421578
The greatest thing in life were discovered by mistake like gravity and the quake engine.
Even if you get the best developers from the best studios they'll probably do a sub par job on creating a modern quake.
Also quake is not dead, its still played and probably will be played forever.
>One of the greatest sound designs of all time
>Cool as shit enemy design
>Memorable level desing
>Thick atmosphere
>Near perfect gameplay
>>318422959
That's not Quake.
>>318422114
Yep. Quake 1 is a miracle by videogame standards.
Developers learned that people only care about feels so there will never be another singleplayer game as good as Quake 1 ever again.

Quake II is fucking awful. I can't stomach it at all. Quake is a hell of a lot better.
>>318422959
But all of that applies to Quake 1 and not 2
Why do Quake 2 guns "wiggle"?
It's like there made of jelly or something
It's really weirding me out
What's the best way I can play Quake 1 right now? I heard the steam version doesn't have music.
>>318424280
darkplaces
Quake3:RA
And Quake3:Corkscrew were a fucking blast back in the day
>mfw playing the retrojam map packs for quake
They are still making some good ass custom maps for the game.
>>318424280
quakespasm's good.
darkplaces is fine, but don't bling up the graphics.
>>318422959
>all the hate Quake II gets
I legit don't understand it. Is it really serious opinions or is it just trolling?
Quake II is the best Quake game, period.
>>318422959
Quake 2 was pure shit.
>>318425334
It just didn't have the magic of Quake. It's a pretty monotonous "military" sci-fi take on Quake, like Quake 4 but not so bad.
>>318424280
Quakespasm is a great option. If you don't have the original cd, find the music in mp3 format and put them in id1/music (or /sound/cdtracks, i don't remember). Rename tro track02, track03, etc...
>>318424259
ooh i love answering this one
quake 1 and 2 were made before skeletal animation existed. one of half-life's biggest TECHNOLOGY moments were that the thing that controlled how something moved and looked was done by apply the mesh itself, to the skeleton, so that way not every single animation needed to change the mesh
quake 1 doesn't look like this because the weapons dont have idle animations or are as lively. every model in quake that is animated actually does this, you just don't notice it in motion
quake 2 has idle anims on all of it's weapons, and it's textures are higher res, so when things move, you notice it much more.
source: spent a lot of time making custom skins/models/working on mods for a lot of old fps
TRESPASSER
>>318420472
Of course not, it's shit
Will we ever have another fps in the line of late 90's? God-tier level design based on exploration, surprise the player and give nice combats?
Even indies try to do this, or it's just awful and miss the point. All we have are total conversions for Doom.
>>318427762
probably not
>>318418540
I like the original the most. I greatly preferred the mix of fantasy and sci-fi 1 had over the straight sci-fi focus of the sequels. The enemies and atmosphere were top notch, and the emphasis on pure shooting gameplay puts it ahead of 2.
>>318424259
That's a side effect of the OpenGL coding for the engine. All the games using that engine have that in hardware rendering mode.
>>318420512
>>318420512
A good singleplayer game that also brings a brilliant multiplayer.
Q3 is a fucking awful tech demo because it's literally DM: the game, it didn't even come out with CTF on release.
>>318428338
Fuck multiplayer I want a good old-school single player only shooter.
>>318418540
That's a kind of difficult question OP, since 3 and Quake Wars are kind of different games from the others.
If we're going by single player campaigns then 1. 2's just brown and orange and lots of backtracking which kills the pacing. If we're going by multiplayer then 3 is the most refined and fun.

That's probably for the better. Just remember the good times. Quake 4 was already shit. Do you want some more console garbage like Doom 4, only marketed as Quake 5? Zenimax/Bethesda buried id Software.
Doom is the best Quake.

>cant pull nails out of corpses and reuse them
>>318433138
I dunno dude
Those nails are nine inches
They probably get stuck
>>318433927
in what? The bodies explode apart
Ive only played Q1 and it was fantastic. Good level design, powerful weapons. I wonder why people feel these games are dated. Except for a few levels in the final part of the game the maps were never so complex to get stuck
>>318434535
because people think old graphics = aged poorly therefore unplayable.
>>318418540
>quake 1
Basically Doom with Nihilism instead of Satanism. Also shit weapons
>Quake 2
Unclear story with decent atmosphere and best weapons.
>Quake 3
Shit weapons, but more weapons than Quake 1. Not as good as UT99
>ET: Quake Wars
Underrated, but ultimately a Battlefield clone.
>Quake 4
JUST
>>318435232
Q1 super nailgun and rocket launcher are cool weapons
>>318435232

Opinion discarded.
is there some chart with fps classified from god-tier to shit-tier? Like we used to see whit rpg games.
I'm legit surprised at the results so far. I was sure 2015 (neo) /v/ would fuck this up by having Quake 2 first but somehow you got the order 100% correct. Well done I guess but there's no way this will last as more votes come in. /v/ is just too shitty now to hold an opinion like this.
Whether Quake or Quake 3 is superior is debatable. I'd say they're tied. I'd still say competitive level Quake 3/Live is basically the high-water mark of FPS gameplay and the best the genre ever was before the military shooter took over.
It's sad how Half Life killed traditional Doom-style FPS and its mod Counter-Strike killed the arena multiplayer shooter.
>those votes
ET:QW > Q4
i was born in 1985 and i dont care what you all say, i fucking loved quake 2 both singleplayer and multiplayer
>>318436850
>Whether Quake or Quake 3 is superior is debatable
Depends if we are talking about MP or not. For mp, definitely Quake 3
>>318437272
I agree but some people might not like the lack of single player campaign.
I do wish they gave Quake 3 its own proper campaign. I know you've got those bot battles but it's not quite the same thing of course.
quake live is best quake
>>318437182
born in '86 and quake is much better than quake 2
>>318437494

I miss Quake TF.
Best vanilla: 1
Best mods: 2
Most elitist pricks: 3
It's dead Jim: 4

>>318437565
>faster and more dynamic gameplay than quake 3
>more interesting and complex weapons than quake 1-2
>more game modes than all previous quake games
yeah I think quake live wins
Only played Quake 1 a year ago, played Quake 2 when I was about 5 and never knew how to push the lift button to progress, so I only finished that a little under 2 years ago. Beat Q4 about 5-7 years ago and wanted ETQW so fucking bad for every day after.
Quake 1 is objectively the best, probably because it really outclasses Q2 in visuals due to having amazing sprites rather than muddy chunky 3D models, which still have a nice charm to them despite being the toe-in-the-water for id.
Q4 isn't even that bad of a game, it's actually really fun, but like any other new-id game, it's not old-id. Playing Doom 3 a couple months ago has really made it look better in my eyes.
Honestly, the enemy designs are pretty damn good too, especially for a remake on the old mega-bloks strogg from Q2 (dat gladiator).

well, I got it because I spent a lot of timelaptop gaming and the awkward angle of the straight laptop keyboard to wrist appears to have fucked it up. If you have a normal keyboard as you probably do and keep it angled for your wrist you're probably fine. Do some stretches and shit, too, might as well youtube it now.
>>318440045
I know c++ and c and have knowledge of how the Quake 3 arena engine works.
>>318438546
Add to the genre. More combat options, more movement mechanics. And ultimately, make going fast more accessible. There is a certain beauty in being able to fly all around with just jumping, turning, and using weapons to nudge your momentum, but only a handful of defrag autists have anything close to mastery. And they tend to suck at the actual game because they can't just retry botched runs, and there are actually other people shooting at them in the real game.
What happen to the series anyway? Why did they stop making games?
>>318425334
>>318422959
The soundtrack is hands down the best in the series and multiplayer was great for its time, but the single player is abysmal and a chore to play through.

There was DOOM.
Then there was QUAKE.
Now there is RAGE.

If you love Quake 1 and haven't played the map jams yet, kill yourself.
>>318438546
If the new DOOM is successful then the next Quake is almost definitely going to be developed by new id Software primarily for consoles. There's no way around it, new id loves consoles. So it could get more popular but degrade in terms of skill ceiling and competitive play in general. I don't even know if they would add loadouts or not, or just casualize it in some other way
>>318441716
Because they lost the people who made quake good. Carmack just wants to be an autist making engines in his corner. So at best you get tech demos. Meanwhile bethesda is the owner and doesnt know shit about making a decent game so if they try something they just shit it up
>>318442323
Well that pretty much confirms a new Quake. The new DOOM might look bad, but people will eat that shit right up.
>>318437902
He has a point though, Quake 2 had 3D explosions that looked horrendous in comparison to Quake 1's sprite ones.
>>318442236
I only recently started playing Quake and don't know what those are
Please point me in the direction of said things and provide an adequate explanation of why the lack of them is worth committing suicide thank you
Why are shamblers so fucking scary?
>>318444936
>Insane amount of health
>perfect accuracy lightning bolts
>ow yeah we made them resistant to rockets because fuck you
And then in one level they make one spawn right behind you
>>318445175
They are also scary because of their looks and sounds they make. But yeah, if they couldn't kill in a second, they would've been less scary.
3 = 1 >= 2
Even that is arguable though, I'd honestly allow any of the first three as "best" since they're all excellent games - it comes down to personal preference.
There is no 4.
ET doesn't count, totally different game.
>mfw torrenting Quake 5 pre-alpha

Is it just me or is Quake 2 easy as fuck? I played a few weeks ago and died maybe 2 or 3 times.
>>318443190
Not that guy, but map jams are annually held contests for map makers to churn out the best fanmade maps. One of them was held fairly recently. Just google it.
