>Story
>The game will feature its own lore.[1]
>Gameplay
>Quake Champions is a PC-exclusive, multiplayer-only game, described as a "competitive arena-style, character-based shooter."[2] The game will be based on the gameplay of Quake III and Quake Live, while taking inspiration from the original Quake for its visual design. The selectable characters (referred to as "champions") all have passive abilities (e.g. extra speed), but the core style of gameplay remains the same.[1] These abilities are based on a rock-paper-scissors system, where certain abilities have natural counters. It is up to players to discover which champions work best together.[3] Loadouts do not feature.[1]
>Development
>The game went under the codename of "Lovecraft" during development.[1] It was revealed by Bethesda at E3 2016. More information will be revealed at QuakeCon 2016.[2]
Will you play it?

Could you say it's a multiplayer online battle arena?

why not

That whole article is a contradiction.
Haha who the fuck plays Quake, Doom and Unreal Tournament for the story and lore.
Nigga I just want to go fast and shoot stuff.
>>343887129
>character-based shooter
Jesus fuck this doesn't mean it's class based does it? If it is I'm going to tan my fucking wrists now and be done with it.
>>343887567
nah I would say its an action first person shooter that requires real time strategy where you role play as certain characters
>>343887757
Yeah, it's just a fancy word for class-based.
>>343887719
They already stated this is for the causal mode e.g. overwatch players. The pro mode will be just like Q3A.
>>343887987

Source?
>>343887129
>Character-based
What the fuck.
Who will you main?
>>343888050
just google mate first result
>>343887987
>>343888050
There is no source, he's just talking out of his ass.
The devs haven't even said that there will be two separate modes.
>made by the brilliant russians that brought you Halo Online and RIPD the game
Can't wait
something tells me this didnt actually start as a quake game
>quake
>story
my backlog gets bigger while i dont buy games , can't believe it
>>343887757
No, TF2 is class based, Overwatch is character based. The difference is that in a character based shooter, the characters have their own lore and their abilities derive from that, while in a class based one, each class is a combined embodiment of a pure platonic ideal. So in overwatch, each character is an actual person whose abilities are a combination of several of TF2's primal platonic classes.

You have autism.
>>343888648
nigga, what?
>>343888759
I think he said that TF2 characters fill specific roles with minimal overlap while Overwatch characters have a bunch of unique quirks and many of them fill the same role in different ways.

HAHA THIS NIGGA THINKS TRACER IS REAL HAHA

Blatant samefag. Now go away and get your autism cured.
>>343889018
Tracer is totally real, she lives in France with Lightning.
>>343889203
I wonder if japanese chans ridicule Toriyama for being a delusional waifufag like we do?
I wonder if they'll do what the original team fortress did and base the characters health and speed on the power of their weapons or if they'll pull an overwatch and just attach arbitrary powers and health to different established characters
>>343887719
All of those things are perfectly compatible with each other.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I don't care, at least it's not going to be fucking overwatch
and duels will be preserved with no characters
>>343887129
>champions
might as well rename this game to overquake famalan
Can't I just get a good sequel to the original Quake? With gothic castles, eerie monsters and heavy atmosphere? Is competitive arena clickfests the only thing to expect?...
>>343890625
Yeah, that's what I was hoping for after D44M's success.
i'l probably play it but...

this ain't quake m8
this is what a modern quake should be pure skill no bullshit

>>343887129
i cant wait, quake live is fucking dead in the us for anyone over 1700 elo (which is important because the weaker players dont want to lose miserably and built walls), needs some new life
>>343890625
>Can't I just get a good sequel to the original Quake?
No. Why don't any of you understand how much it would rape quake to make a sequel?
quake is about a certain feeling in time, you can't just replicate it. If you weren't there, if you didn't grow up at that time, you really wouldn't understand
>>343890715
succeess doesn't mean much when the game itself is actual garbage
>>343887757
no they confirmed you pick up weapons, no classes
>>343890924
Stop parroting this shit and just play the damned game for yourself. It's good.
>>343890625evil death nightmare looks like it'll be a good successor to quake 1, other than the visualsjk its fucking vaporware
>>343890924
Sure, there was the whole multiplayer speedy gonzales clickfests in the original Quake as well, solidifying the lan part crowd. But many people liked the campaign as well. The levels are atmospheric, the monsters are varied and well made (most of the late game monsters lacked eyes which scared the hell out of me when I was young) and the weapons loud and satisfying. I think if enough effort and enthusiasm is put into it they can make a really good modern horror/action game.

>>343891075
Fuck off, Todd. I won't fall for your lies.
>>343891075
I own the game and paid $60 for it. It's garbage. You're the parrot saying it's good, because you don't have the perspective on FPS games to understand why it's bad and why it failed.
>>343891239
I'm not talking about the multiplayer.
yes the levels monsters etc...precisely why you don't bring it back. Because a team of 7 white computer nerds doesn't have the same experience of life as a team of 200 multinational people who went to school for game design.
Quake is about a time and place in american life, it is about the white angst of the mid 90s
if you werent part of the era, you wouldnt understand. honest.
>counters and passive abilities
no
your weapon is your class and you should be able to change your class whenever you switch weapons
>>343891319
its almost as if, players of the old games dont want a replacement to overshadow the game they like and instead expect something new in a sequel
so team-based "character shooters" are the new meme huh?
>>343891345
hes talking about quake 1. seriously try it, it is fucking good. here are downloads
http://pastebin.com/XjBHDRFw
>>343891491
If the old games are so good, why aren't they still being played professionally today?
>>343888648
for the sake of all the people around you, get yourself checked. please
>>343891482
you pickup weapons
>>343891121
>jk its fucking vaporware
Why do you taunt me. ;_;
>>343891662
They are. Quakecon happens once a year.
>inb4 only once a year
I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, after D44m and the free quake 1 episode.
>>343891662
profession implies demand but there is none from an esports level. i mean shit its literally been 20 years since quake and the last quake was a decade ago people dont even remember it. i still play quake 1 and you can still get a game going after some waiting though. also cpma is commonly played in esports, quake live also, both being based on quake 3.
>>343887129
I want quake 1 sequel
not this shit
>>343891391
But modern shooters are made by those 200 multinational team and they have utter garbage level design. Shit brown as the main color in near everything. Virtually no story other than "american kill evil terrorists fuckyeah.jpg". Weapons are same rehashed shit. And multiplayer is actually a step back.
That team of 200 actually accomplish less than the 7 white computer nerds.
>>343891319
What did he mean by this?
>>343891674
he is right though
>>343892034
>Shit brown as the main color in near everything
As opposed to Quake
>>343892264
It has puke green and chemical blue as well.
>>343892264
heh
They fucked it up
Look what you've done blizzdrones. How long will you allow blizzard to ruin everything of value
>>343889332
No actually, iirc Japan really likes Lightning
>>343891565
yep
this is just bethesda/zenimax using the quake brand to get a piece of that pie
>>343891634
reminder that nquake is literally retard proof and installs in seconds (you can even play it in your damn browser) and uses the shareware version so you don't even need to buy it and there are still hundreds of servers running
>>343892034
yeah exactly...doom was a huge disappointment...the levels looked nice but lockdown arena gameplay isn't doom, it isn't even id software
>>343892514
It worked out well for Painkiller.
>>343892578
And Painkiller isn't id software.
>>343892578
No it didn't Painkiller was garbage
>>343892578
No it didn't. It's quite literally the game's biggest flaw
>>343892578
yeah painkiller was actually fun, but doom feels exactly like painkiller to me and also isnt fun
i pretty much hate it, multiplayer was okay but after 2 weeks you couldnt find clan arena games easily so rip.
>>343892454
thats why i added it, i want more players. really glad the community has been making everything more userfriendly
>that fucking quadinjector
why has nobody mentioned that this is basically Team Fortress 1
>>343892646
>No it didn't Painkiller was garbage
nu-/v/
>>343893327
because it isn't, teamfortress classes have different weapons
>character based
lol
>>343890830
This
they are trying to follow the trend but Blizzard already killed these "Champion-based shooters", it's too late to jump on bandwagon
>>343887129
>MOBA
>>343893327
most people don't even know that team fortress was a quake mod
it was a bit before my time and i don't really care for the class tweaks stuff as far as i'm concerned it isn't quake
you know what should be brought back? more teams like UT99 had 4 team TDM domination etc
I think the later ones just dropped it for some reason
>>343894981
i want 4 team CTFwith 1 flagand you bring the flag back to your base
>>343892034
>That team of 200 actually accomplish less than the 7 white computer nerds.
No shit, whites are the most creative race out there, everyone else just makes shit that is derivative of white artistry.
>2016
>not playing based Doom MP that's fun as fuck
It's a meme to hate it, the mode is awesome
>>343896176
it's just really fucking average in a bad way and also completely dead I've started it up a couple of times and left the matchmaking on for 15 or 20 minutes and get nothing
another thing I just realised is that the game has no fucking bots, even the alpha that leaked had fully functional bots to play against but the current version has nothing
>>343896605
Bots are coming friend, the guy working on em also did the Return to Castle Wolfenstien bots
>>343887129
Wolfenstein and DOOM were both pretty good, they've shown they might not fuck things up so I'm cautiously optimistic
>>343896176
>Doom
>No free for all mode
There is no excuse for this at all.
>>343897015
It's coming soon, should be at the end of this month actually, I think they've confirmed it is a classic ffa mode and a version without loadouts
>>343890830
al you can stop shilling that autistic garbage now m8
>extra speed is a passive skill
fucking dropped
what a shit game
>>343887129
>competitive arena-style, character-based shooter.
garbage
>>343887554
This fucking faggot can't handle a little video games, go back to your JRPGS you fucking loser.
If the new Quake is going to be a mix of the old game and Black Ops 3 with it's characters, i'm in.
Special abilities don't break anything, especially if you think about duels.
A lot of maps, especially popular ones like ztn/dm6/aero have shit balance and it's very hard to play when your opponent has the advantage.
You can use an ability ( like once during the whole match ) to frag him and make a comeback it's totally fair. Remember you still have less armor and health and still can get killed while using your wallhacks or whatever.
>>343898285
theyve already confirmed it wasnt in duels. only for casual team based gametypes like ctf, ffa, and ca
>>343887567
It IS a MOBA.
MOBA is a retarded term because 90% of online games are MOBA
>>343900198
Then i don't see the point why everyone is bitching.
>>343891319
Doom 4 was made by bethesda and was a success here
>>343891391
>Quake is about a time and place in american life, it is about the white angst of the mid 90s
>This game was made for me guys, don't you dare usurp the purity of its memory
Kys sixteen years ago plz
>I own the game and paid $60 for it. It's garbage
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually glad you're not enjoying it. I got it for half at launch.
>tfw twelve years later I get my revenge on Phobos for kicking teen me's ass
>>343887567
Because MOBAs are commonly associated by normies with games that are actually designated ARTS.
>>343898048
the point is
every videogame designed with "competitive" in mind ends up being garbage.
>>343890924
Exactly. Many games turn into cult classics based on little more than nostalgia.
Remember how everything you did was more fun when you were a child? Well, same fucking thing goes for vidya: a game might be objectively just as good as something you played in the late 90s - story, gameplay, characterization, etc. Literally every aspect save graphics for obviois reasons.
But you won't like that new game cause you're older, full of expectations to be rid for a while of the horribly normal default of your daily life. Moreso, you'll likely hate it because it borrows much from some favorite game of yours. You'll criticize, regret the money and time you spent on it and rigourously shitpost about the unavoidable failure of your unrealistic hopes to feel like a 12 year old again.
>still no mention of strafing
it's not gonna have it is it
