Btw i reinstalled QL, no more losing time in quakechumps (hadnt played any quake for months).

single-player

this - take the doom reboot formula, use quake 1 as your baseline and $$ will rain. Also get carmack and romero on board again, make willits donut responsible.

After being sued doubt very much Carmack will return.

Romero would be great, what about the game he did a kickstarter for? Already dead?

Yeah - he's just not a great developer/business leader tbh. Charismatic yes, but nowadays era needs a certain business savvy as well. He should stick to designing games and find a good partner.

Totally, should just use his creativity while being under a "get things done" leader.

TO SUCCEED NEXT QUAKE SHOULD BE not made

at this point its just pathetic to read esr threads giving suggestions about helping quake survive.

your sarcasm detector needs replacement

3 year release

the BR fad will be long gone by that time.

If QC fails I wouldn't expect a new Quake to be ever made. This is the shot they are willing to take.

At this stage the only thing that can be done is to offer more content, fast. In this year not a single medium-big map has been released and only one out of five announced characters has.

Also, the BR fad is already wearing away, so it's too late already. Only Fortnite and PUBG are doing well, the originals.

The studio of the guy behind classic UT games tried to do what you said, by releasing a game as soon as possible to cash in in BR's trend, and it failed after like three months (Radical Heights).

There are two reasons for that failure. First developing games takes time nowadays so it's practically impossible to copy trends. Second the playerbase in gaming is finite so that if you don't offer something to the current players of the trendy games to move to your game then you are finished, because there's no more players in gaming itself. This is why the way to go for clone games is to go f2p (LoL) or aim to get a non-gamers audience (Wii), since those are the only ways to get people playing provided many aren't going to switch games.

If the idea is to bring people in by providing a different gametype, then what should be done is to innovate, while preserving the common places. Offer a team based gametype with long matches, breaks (not intense all the time) and new stuff to interact with: QC has nothing like that and only offers deathmatch with different server settings (4v4 tdm is essentially the same as 90s ffa). That's what all popular PC games do.

QC has already failed, but it won't be the last quake title.

Nowadays game companies are like hollywood, having a "title" means more than having 10 original ideas.

And when you have a title, it doesn't matter if it undersells once or twice, you milk it, you squeeze it until it's completely dried up. Then you wait some years and you give it another good squeeze.

Even the next quake could be an half failure too, and it still won't be the last.

"Quake" is a prestigiuos, known series. It died years ago, but it's zombified, frankenstein successors will keep going for a long time still.

The market doesn't punish. The market doesn't even remember. We've seen this happen countless times. You can fuck it up as much as you want, then a couple years later you come out with a loud spectacular trailer and you're ready to go again.

Side note: battle royale ain't dying. It ain't even started. Later this year both Call of Duty and Battlefield will come out with their versions of battle royale. Guaranteed success. It's a style that's bound to be popular.

The proof is that PUBG is still hugely played in spite of being 30 dollars for an almost unplayable horror mess of spaghetti code, with terrible optimization, lag, and game ending bugs and crashes still.

located in the Poe universe.

I think you're confusing Poe with Lovecraft.

Although dodging pits and pendulums in a dark defrag map could be interesting.

Youre right

wait that wasn't supposed to be Path Of Exile?

They should make a brand new, very pretty, very realistic graphics styled multi for doom eternal and put some of the quake dynamics into it (bunnyhopping, bouncing nmy around with RL, etc, and do. That's about the last viable shot ID could have for going on with their PvP heritage.

Thing is, they don't have a PvP heritage. Since Q3A, all multiplayer components in their games were developed by other studios, and nobody who worked on the older titles is still around except Timmy [citation needed].

diabotical

deadbotical aka Reflex 2.0

nvm.

except its not a cpm clone and it didnt fail the kickstarter

aka Severity

Reflex is a good game. If Diabotical ends up being Reflex 2.0, it means another good game. If that happens I am definitely going to buy it.

yeah diabotical currently looks like the only chance for a succesful deathmatch game

Is that still being developed?

Thought they pulled an 'Epic' on that project...

The problem with Quake is the it got too good too soon (Q3). It's like World of Warcraft, the developers simply don't know what to do with it, which is why they pretty much redevelop the same game with new graphics (Q4) or re-release it (QL).

good analogy

It's already located in the poo universe

You are all CUCKS by definition.

What you do is stick to being the Standard 1v1 Arena shooter. Stick to it. Keep updating QL, undefinitely. And EVENTUALLY the clock will reset and arena shooters will be back. Just like in finance, you HOLD long term quality assets, and eventually the fucktarded masses will align with reality, then you are already on top because you've been betting on it winning for years before the plebs come.

Alternatively, find billionaire investors with a Quake passion to fund tournaments even if it's only us watching. Make it an elite sport, as it should. The masses are Never right. Do not hop into the latest bandwaggon. It's the masses fault for not having good taste, That Is All.

And with that being said, I leave you a good match of Quake in case you forgot why it is the best/got brainwashed to think otherwise:

And now, we rest.
