this game seems to have some Quake in it, cant wait to Quake in Fear while meeting our Doom in a very Heretic way
Ugh, I would kill for a Quake 2 full remake or reboot.
I really would.... easily up there in my favorite game of all time.

Define Quake? Are we talking about Love Craft Quake 1 or space marines Quake 2/4?

ID be fine with either, but preferably Q2/4 as i doubt theyd do Q1 justice thematically.
I wanted doom, it gave me doom. But yes I would enjoy a proper quake 1 reboot. Maybe after the new doom trilogy.

You would not want a new Heretic game considering Raven Software's current lack of the staff's souls.

Oh the irony

At this point, I'm pretty sure Bethesda Doom has replaced Quake in all but name

Doom 2016 did away with Hell's fiery hellscape in favour of a brown and depressing wasteland
Doom Eternal repurposed the Tank and Medic from Quake 2 as the Doom Hunter and Carcass

Doom: The Dark Ages, hooooboy...
- They're going all-in on the gothic architecture
- Cybernetic enemies appear to be going for an industrial aesthetic
- One of the weapons appears to be a Super Nailgun
- Doom Slayer's shield is more or less an evolution of Quake 3 Arena's gauntlet

At this point, the only thing that Bethesda Doom is missing are the Fiends and Shamblers.
'DOOM:Eternal' also lifted the entire rogue's gallery from 'Heretic/Hexen' as its new monsters.

An amalgamated 'id universe' might have been attractive, too, if they had leaned into it --
instead we're getting a sleepy Heretic/Hexen-themed sequel to DOOM, with even more giant Voltrons shoe-horned into the mix.

...I imagine the mecha we see in D:DA are to further stroke Hugo Martin's one-trick pony.
Nobody seems to be getting what they want out of "NuDoom" except for that guy.

I share little confidence that D:DA will retain much of the lifeblood of what was DOOM.
