Quake. Greatest FPS of All Time. Even today.

[Endalrin]

I remember the first time I met Quake. Me and my brother were playing it at my dad's work, it was just the demo but. This was back when I didn't know games could be 3D. Back when i thought about making games.
I remember how awesome this game was. I was already very familiar with ID Software, the inventors of the FPS, ( a shame they've failed to keep up with today. ) Wolfenstien was my first real game, and my cousins introduced me to doom.

Many years have past and when i finally got steam Quake was one of the first games I set out to by.

Now I, like any other 90s kid loved goldeneye. But to me that game is nothing in comparison. The ugly models, the fog, OMG THE FOG. and well, yes it was a great game of it's time, but it shows it's age.

Now they always say nostalgia blinds us. But even now, so many years later. No FPS trully gives me as much joy as Quake. Sure the graphics are considered 'ugly' by todays standards. this was made at the beginning of 3D models.

But Quake is so amazing, cause it is everything you need and nothing you don't.

You have all the basic movement including jump. You have a good selection of weapons, hidden power ups, secrets, and health packs where you need them. To me, Quake is everything you need and nothing you don't.
The atmosphere is great, and even if I've never heard the music, it pulls me in and gives me the simple joe of blasting away at hellspawn. oh, and NO FOG!!!

Sadly the other Quakes weren't as good. 2 and 4 had a totally different stoyline that, just wasn't enough to pull me in and 3 was a lame unreal tournament knock off, (unless it came first) and well, i could never enjoy unreal tournament.


For me, Quake is pure simple fun. Simply that.

no i can understand a lot of people liking doom more, it did come before, (where wolfenstien came first.)

but the 2Dishness makes it a little harder. Quake was one of the first games with all the necesary functions which is one reason why I like it.
basic 3d models. the jumb ability. the ability to look around and aim. still has health packs. quake has everything I want.
doom is good, of course, but Quake just pulls me more.

same, the only reason im able to play dukenukem3d is because the sprites look good, and the all mighty foot kick.

Well I really super hope and might be only dreaming to see John Carmack return to id Software and work on the next Doom and or Quake. After the Oculus VR craze. The whole team do a one last finale for the fans and for the sake the Doom series which I hope doesn't R.i.p ever ;) John Romero knowing he has been out of id Software for sometime since after Quake? I would like to see them just put their brains together one more time.

if only, but who knows. most gamers now adays are too obsessed with using cover and iron sights to know a good game even if it shot them in the face.

You just used almsot the exact words of ex-Epic Games Cliff Blezinski (Unreal series). Cliff wants to make an fastpaced old school style arena shooter because there is not anything that is released in recent years. It's going to be PC exclusive and wont be casual gamer game he said.

"It will be a PC experience that will hearken back to a certain type of game that we cut our teeth on."

"I don't ever want to make a game that has a cutscene or a scripted sequence in it ever again."

"A lot of these kids playing Call of Duty- I don't think they know what a proper arena shooter is."

Cliff Blezinski it's nice to hear people that are still in touch with reality of the old school shooters over these new ones. Even Doom 3 and Quake 4 were slowed down termendously.

Sorry my keyboard broke and i had to get a new keyboard. I was sayig doom 3 was good, but it didn't really have all the runing aND JUMPING. Check out serious sam 3, you just have to get through the first few levels, which are a knochoff to modern shooters.

Agreed. DooM 3 was good. Hence the reason because it was completely John Carmack's vision only (at the time him still being original founder of id left in the company). Rage showed that since the newer id empoyes were mostly in charge of it, it was simply bad. At first Rage was supposed to be good since John Carmack wanted it to have non-regenerating health as primary mechanic and health regeneration as optional secondary mechanic. Rage still has the unlimited weapon carrying, so that proves it wasn't supposed to be a full blown CoD clone at first. But i agree with you about DooM 3 not being as fast as it could have. DooM 1 is alot faster than DooM 3 but DooM 3 blows any modern AAA FPS out of the water anyday.

indeed

i got distracted after i startd rage but i thought it was okay. granted I'm not as critical as most people. my main problem with cod is how boooooooooooring it is.
