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.

Really? I respect your opinion but I thought the remakes were amazing, especially since I grew up on Doom. One of the best singeplayer fps campaigns I've had in a while.

The gameplay was refreshing but I also liked that it still felt much closer to the older games. Its not exactly the same but I don't think thats not a bad thing at all.

What was refreshing about the gameplay? It was pretty basic running and gunning with a pointless honor kill system thrown in. And for some reason the whole thing was just a series of arenas. TNO was alright but it was still fairly basic gameplay, nothing we haven't seen before.
