I like games that are fun.

I can't remember if I beat Quake 4 or not, I don't remember the ending.  I remember it was dark some, and kinda boring.  Maybe the weapons, IDK.  I also know, that I can get Quake I running on my modern computer, in like 2 minutes.  I think that says a lot.

I actually play Unreal, (instead of UT3.)  Multiplayer is still up, you can still find a regular deathmatch, if you'll hop on a Deck-16 server for five minutes.  I'd bother to set up an Unreal or Quake III LAN, before an Unreal Tournament III or Quake 4 LAN.

Quake I was fun.  4?  Boring.

 

Oh, www.quakelive.com is really cool.  Check it out if you don't already know what it is!

A Quake reboot with thoughts of leaning towards Quake 1 storyline, friggin awesome! I hope, (if it ever gets in production) it will be just as HP Lovecraft-ish as it ever was or even more so....

Stopped being interested in Quake when Unreal Tournament came out amd I just found it 100 times better than Quake 3. I can't say I was much of a Quake fan to begin with, though. Recently a picked up the latest UT when it was on sale on Steam and I wasn't too wowed by that, either. I've probably just gotten older.

I really liked Quake Wars. I still play it from time to time.

 

I want to see a 1:1 remake of Wolfenstine 3D with a Quake 4 engine. But it'd have to play exactly as the original did.

I thought Quake Wars enemy territory was something of a reboot of the strogg being on earch with humans using less high end weaponry (compared to quake 4) to fend them off.  what i'd like to see is quake 1 and 2 redone with quake 4 engine and graphics so that playing all three in succession will feel more like a 'complete story' when going from one to the next. I suppose for me it's a really good story and that's what makes it fun for me rather than 1080p uber high def graphics  (like crysis, since people made a big deal about it's graphics)

I'd do anything for a modern day Quake 2 Arena multiplayer game. Space level with railguns only was the bomb!

Just bring back the rocket ballet, one man getting surrounded by tons of enemies and fast-paced action. No modern fps bullshit (regeneration health, sprint, limited weapon slot).

The biggest hurdle to cross when doing anything in this franchise are the "hardcore" "pro-gamer" types who throw the world's biggest hissy fit when things aren't done their way.

So if he wants to reboot Quake, it will have to play just like the original Quake online: a total spastic twitch-fest feeding the egos of teenage wannabes locked away in mommy's basement, living off Jolt and Red Bull.

Thing is, there aren't enough of those twits to make a profitable game for. Tribes: Vengeance, anyone? That was designed for the spaz audience, as was the Tribes 2 reboot that couldn't even sell for $10 a copy.

Never let pro gamers design or dictate the design of your games. Unless you like losing money.
