Well, DOOM showed us an awesome oldschool high-octane SINGLE PLAYER experience.

The multiplayer was a shining testament to mediocrity.


MANY people are guessing this will be an oldschool, arena-focused Overwatch, with unique hero abilities and class-based combat.
 
Too many multiplayer online arena shooters.

Not saying I think it will be bad, but they can't all be phenomenally successful and there is a glut of them.
 
I honestly don't know what to think of it. On one hand, it could be the second coming of Quake 3 Arena, on the other it could be nothing more than a cash grab for the Overwatchers.....

But....If they are marketing this as their flagship mulitplayer experience (which they should) it could be pretty awesome.

Should have produced a real Quake game with a campaign, too many arena shooters these days and it's quite boring. Never gotten into Quake 3 so I don't know about this one. But still curious to see how this one will turn out.

I have a hard time jumping into multiplayer right away, and usually I'm not even interested in multiplayer until I've fallen in love with a game's campaign/single-player mode.


Take for instance, if DOOM's multiplayer were basically just like oldschool doom: essentially the exact same gameplay and levels as campaign, only no enemies, more pickups and multiplayer I would probably call in sick from work just to get a few more rounds in. The class-based loadout starting, skill-less powerup multiplayer we GOT instead makes me completely and 100% not interested. I wan to play the SP doom with other people.
 
After thinking about the new "pick your Champion" system they are describing that matches your play style. I've come to realize that this is nothing new in terms of multiplayer.

Playing Quake throughout the years or any shooter type game for that matter, haven't we all chosen our play style by the weapon we use or the characters we choose? I keep comparing this "new" style of gameplay of theirs to Twisted Metal.

I was really on the fence about it at first but now I'm kind of intrigued & excited to see what they come up with because this is how I've personally have been playing these types of games all along.

I'm loving the new DOOM's single player so I decided to give MP a try. I played a single round of it and doubt I'll ever play it again.
 
If this is going to be a REAL Q3A replacement then I'm all in. Q3 was a religion for me for many many years. I miss it.
 
Am i the only one who likes the class idea? I mean do people really think that a classic quake, with shiny graphics would actually stay popular?

As someone else mentioned the new doom stayed pretty true to old school arena shooters but added a load outs and the demon spawns. We all see how well that turned out. I believe that if they kept the multiplayer even more like old school arena shooters, it would of been worse. That stuff is just not fun anymore.

Yes. The new Doom's multiplier sucked dick. It was nothing like Quake.

There's a reason why the game has good reviews and the multiplayer beta was negative.

I would play the shit out of game with no classes.

I would bitch loudly and then not play a Quake arena shooter that came stupid BS classes and unlocks and level progression.

Yea, they were developed by two different studios. This time around it looks like Quake is handled by the folks who did the Doom single player campaign?

Sounds like you'll have both options in this new game. Is that a problem? I'd love to see which game mode ends up being more popular.
 
Very excited for this. Not going to elaborate on that for the time being.
 
actual gameplay



Man, they're back. I didn't have ANY confidence until I saw this video. Now I am sold.

looks a little fast for my taste but I'm sure it will do ok too bad you can't hear the actual game.
 
Don't worry. As I understand it, Anarki is one of the fastest characters. It really is a class based game. The original plan was for Quake 3 to have classes and it was reflected on the characters. They've gone beyond that with QC but the idea is the same. Different HP/Armor/speed values all around and on top of unique abilities.
 
Yeah, movement speed and acceleration were greatly increased with that stimpack. Although I wouldn't want such things in duel, we need new stuff to keep noobs/kids interested and it makes sense from that perspective. It's a 5vs5 game after all.
 


Closed Beta is April 6th

Not really excited about this looks ok but the feeling is like Super Quake the best thing the Quake series had going for it was immersion of the levels and waiting in Lobbies. The level they are showing is outside I mean why not add some Dark Clouds and some Fog?
 
I still know my Q3A cdkey by heart. I typed that thing so many damn times lol

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this be good!
 
Get the fuck out of here with this class based bullshit. Thats not what quake is/was. Gameplay looks good though.

I don't think there are any class based features in QC. I only see activated abilities unique to each character. Although I am really not happy about "Loot Boxes". That shit needs to go die in a hole somewhere or stay in CS:GO.

I signed up, we'll see. I enjoyed Q3 Arena but was much more into UT99 but did enjoy both. Will probably suck at this these days lol. Interested to see how it plays.
 
New Gameplay footage 4/4/17



Honestly reminds me of Quake 3 with Unreal Tournament mixed in. I like it.
 
To get it to install you have to disable the firewall temporarily. I got mine installed, it loads all menus but stops at choose region because the servers aren't on yet afaik.

Did you get notification via email?
