    But the Strogg IS invading Earth (and other planets and dimensions to acquire their resources and use other species to create soldiers for their armies) and you have to shut down the Blackhole Generator they use to travel to other dimensions. But right, Q2 and Q4 both take place on Stroggos.

    I fondly remember my time in the uni computer labs in '96, first playing the shareware version of Duke3D, then flipping back and forth from that to QTest1 when it came out; hijacking the uni LAN for deatmatch sessions with classmates during (sic) study periods definitely classifies as some of the best times of my life. It also cemented in stone my undying love for coding.

    Miganarchine Quake 2 ruined Quake forever. Simplified and slowed down the gameplay, was terribly uncreative aesthetically, and worst of all added the ultimate noob gun, the rail. Railgun did nothing but give noobs an easy to use overpowered weapon and due to its nature just slowed down the gameplay and made it way more campy / baity versus the aggressive gameplay of Quake 1.

    @Ted Wood I played both (on the PC). I still prefer the Q2 railgun. The amount of damage it inflicted meant a great reward for accuracy. Each succesive railgun seems to get weaker. The Q3 version was still great. But all these years later, the railgun is so weak in Quake Champions, that you can hit someone several times and not kill them. The Q2 railgun was devastating and such a pleasure to use.

    00Mindi00 not only that, Half-Life had three different renderers (software, directx and opengl), while quake 2 lacks directx support (uses opengl, and there's a sofware mode that will be dropped with quake 3). Valve pretty much did his own engine, starting from Quake 1. Half-Life also supported skeletal animations, something that even quake 3 lacked, and the mdl format used by hl was way better than the one used by quake 3

    Quake Champions is a PC exclusive. The only people who will show interest in it (beyond the first 2-3 weeks) are the current Quake community, which largely comprises of adult men aged 25-40. They also happen to be the highest skilled FPS players in the gaming world. Tim Willits is lead design and project manager. He is the sole surviving member of the original Quake era iD Software and as such the development could be in no better hands. If Tim gets a handful of Quake godfathers on board such as Rapha, Toxic, Evil or even Fatal1ty then he cannot go far wrong. Do not expect a true successor to Quake III and certainly do not expect a miracle like Quake III to happen again. Carmack himself admitted that Q3's genius was a fluke and beyond even his own goals and expectations. Although very modest, we now know that to be partially true. Something just "happened" and Q3 was the only game iD ever made which John himself could not stop playing. However, I do believe that, in order to preserve the top elite level of competitive FPS gaming at the worlds premier eSports events, Zenimax and Bethesda will concede to Tim's authority and not deviate too far from the formula. You should not worry. I have big hopes for the end result. And damn.... it's about time! So the purpose of this video, or any of the Gaming Industry / Establishments videos of hyping some upcoming game, is not needed for Quake. Build it and they will come. Fuck it up and they will not. That is the Quake community and no amount of hype, depth of field, bloom or achievements will change it. Best of luck, Tim!

    Quite good for a dead game to get 500k+ matches done in a week or so. Currently there's a community event where if we reach 1 million matches before November 1st everyone unlocks the new champion - Athena. And those matches are in one game mode: Slipgate. I still play against bots and have no trouble getting 3 other players to play along with me against 4 bots. Considering the number of game modes and that each mode still has players i would say QC is doing just fine. Obviously nothing like Fortnite or Overwatch but that is to be expected.

    Slight technical correction: the Quake 1 level design verticality was not due to added mouse control for the player camera, but due to the fact that Quake 1 was the first FPS to be powered by an actual 3D-geometry rendering engine. The previously common technology used in Doom 1/2, Wolfenstein, etc was rendering based on a 2D (top-down) layout, combined with a heightmap which allows z-axis control over different points of the map.

The multiplayer sucked... but then so does every multiplayer if you're a Quake III player. I still don't understand the stick people gave Q4. It was the best FPS of the year and one of the best single player FPS games of the decade.

    Oh thats a good Comparison, ctr+F TDLR Quake 3 Arena vs Unreal Tournament. The release dates were not too far apart, and the life cycle is similar. (both can still be played to this day on pc.) Similar hardware requirements etc etc. I'd say Quake 3 Arena was more popular, but only slightly. These both games traded in sales numbers, popularity, tournaments etc. At some point quake's popularity died drastically when Unreal Tournament kept making sequals, and unreal tournament was at its peak. Quake 3 Team Arena did not do as well, cause basically it was a simple expansion pack that was never truly expanded upon again. Had amazing mod support though. Was much easier and user friendly to install mods on Quake 3 than Unreal Tournament. The anti-cheat stuff made Unreal Tournament modding a nuisance at times. There were other games pulled the rug under unreal tournament and quake 3. Quake 3 got adapted in to "real gaming", "competitive gaming" and now more known as "E-sports" much more so than unreal tournament. With games like Quake Live. pretty big deal. So this made it more popular than the unreal tournament series that we know now. I left out a ton of stuff, but. TLDR: Quake 3 Arena but only slightly due to circumstance. Hypothetically. If Bethesda were to do an Unreal Live next week. And announce a new Unreal Game with Campaign and Multiplayer, It would change everything. This is an question with an everchanging answer.

    Quake III was still played by hundreds of thousands of players in 2009, 10 years after it came out. I was always more of a UT player though. I did play Q3 but found UT to be more fun and enjoyable, at least for me.

    I'd answer: none. Both of them had a backing of an enormous hordes of fanboys. Each discussion about those games, back in my days, ended in a flame war on par with present time console fanboy wars (you know Xbox vs. PlayStation.) I loved both games, but personally preferred Unreal Tournament.
