Quake Champions - multiplayer hero shooter from id Software

[Venser]

All of those abilities are literally copied from Overwatch.

Those are just the most generic abilities from other games put into first person. It's not like Overwatch did anything original.

I was expecting something bad, yet it turned out to be even worse. Totally-not aping Overwatch, no sir. Also, I like how Ranger is unceremoniously killed at the end of the trailer just like that. I guess that's a subconscious message from the devs about what they think of the saga. Lastly, Ranger's new suit is tacky and silly.

Apparently they won't stream the Quake Champions presentation, it's for QuakeCon attendees only. Last time it was the same with Doom and nobody was able to leak a footage.

But at least we can enjoy Quake Live and QW tournaments: https://www.twitch.tv/quakecon

Unsurprisingly, it looks like total shit.

Wallhacks and visual timers on items are no longer frowned upon in the current year. The weapons, characters and gibs look totally retarded. The overbright levels wouldn't look out of place in UT3.

Nothing about that trailer screams Quake except the logo at the end and the morons in the comments below the video.

not-bad

Franchise classics Ranger and Visor will return, but we'll also get new ones like the swift Anarki, who zips about on a hoverboard (pictured above).

Modern video game journalism

Yeah it definitely gives of UT vibe and every single weapon model looks terrible.

Hope we get to see this on stream or someone films it.

I'm getting UT3 vibes from those screenshots.

Yup, visuals and new character designs p much leak UT3 influence. I guess we finally found that mythical race of subhumans that actually enjoyed UT3.

Will fail spectacularly.
Modern casual audiences wont into heavy skillbased arena shooters. Its too skillbased.

Counter Strike is interesting because being a noob, its still playable - you get a drop on someone from behind -> you win. In even that Quake? No...

This doesn't look any different from other recently released casual console shooters..

 

[Endlösung]

Trailer doesnt show much, not how damaging the fire is, how fast weapons switch, how many are spam, how fast and constant you move. But it looks to me as if its close to UT3.

Are recently released casual console shooters bringing in numbers?

 

[United Nations]

No solo campaign.

WTF.

 

[skacky]

It does look very much like Unreal Tournament. Game looked surprisingly fast in the trailer but character abilities can go to hell.

 

[Quatlo]

Lol they fucking reskinned the D44m multiplayer. This looks like complete trash.

 

[DosBuster]

Worth noting this is not developed by Id Software, it is very much a Saber Interactive game, ID are probably working on Doom 2.

 

[A horse of course]

ID are probably working on Doom 2.

Watching the gameplay trailer now.. they need to change that art style, it looks more like UT3 than Quake, there wasn't a single red sky.

 

[CreamyBlood]

After playing the Doom 4 and Doom 4 MP demos, I have no hopes for this.

Even though I was an id software fanboy and loved Q3 over any UT, I'm finding the free UT 4 pre-alpha to be pretty good after just a couple of days of fucking around with it.

RIP id.

 

[Excidium II]

loved Q3 over any UT

How does this happen?

How does this happen?

It's called good taste.

 

[Belegarsson]

Gameplay from Quakecon, potato quality.

 

[The Fish]

Here's the quake live final if anyone's interested. It was pretty great.
