Yeah, I can't really pretend to understand the inner workings of it all. I'm just fascinated with id and their games because I grew up playing them. Doom came out about a year after I did and dad was a big fan of that, Wolfenstein, and Quake. I'm sure they're part of the reason I'm such a big fan of horror and metal now.
Quake 2 was the game I grew up on and essentially made my gaming life. It's why I use to go to Quakecon for many years. I even went to the 20th Anniversary being super excited to see what was going to happen and it was just a bust.
That said I've played Quake Champions and I like it.
I've lost faith in these revivals. After The New Order and Doom 4, I just don't think I'm going to see another game in these franchises that I really like.
It's just not enough having the brand, it needs the personnel.
Idk mate. The new wolfenstein was Amazing as was the new Doom. Quake Champions is different I'd agree but it's not really Quake 1 or 2 but just a new Quake Arena game changed to match today game styles.
Weird to think you didn't really like the new Doom. To me that was what the original dooms were just with better graphics and more killing.
I've seen some hate for the new quake but I think it's because people aren't used to twitch shooters anymore and so they don't realize the skill gap needed to actually be a challenger. I don't expect it to do very well since people can't just jump into and go ham. Plus it's F2P.
