Quake 6 - "Rumors/Teaser" & "Your Wishes/Hopes?"

[Griffth]

Now that we get a new DOOM a new SP Quake would finally be time and it might come.

Rumors/Teaser:
- Machine Games are likely the main developer
- Machine Games gave a teaser for a Quake 6 in a recent showcase ("Q-Rune"+"...ake 6")
- ( Quake Champions is "Quake 5" )
- likely made together with id Software
- or id Software could be the lead developer with help of Machine Games
- ( my guess would be id = MultiPlayer & Machine Games = SinglePlayer )
- Q6 might have a female protagonist
- Machine Games already made Story Expansions for the Q1+2 Remasters
- Those expansions brought the Quake 1+2 universe together

What character do you hope they cast as the main character?
( not all might fit for a Quake game, but who knows )

- Major (Q2) A veteran of the Stroggos campaign
- Mynx ( Fashion model, porno queen, assassin: which is real )
- Crash ( DOOM Guy's military instructor )
- Daemia ( ex-military, bounty hunter, tough, cynical and youthfully brash )
- Slash ( cybronic implants, competitive, fast, nervous and deadly )
- Lucy ( was a guard at a prison solely for men )
- Hunter ( Frazetta-esque barely-armored female warrior )
- Sorlage ( she is indeed a girl, ruthless, would also sell her grandmother )

What else do you hope for in a new Quake game?
I hope it goes really dark and spooky and Q1 style.
Also bring back Trent Reznor for the sound fx and OST

I hope they make quake a game about Barbies shooting each other with nerf guns

[TheAlmightySunBro, Silkaire]

I’ve never played Quake to be honest.

[Griffth]

Quake1 is like the dark, edgy lil bro of DOOM
Quake2+4 more like scifi military
Quake3, Live, Champions are only multiplayer

[ULTRA]

My wishes and hopes are that MG gets dissolved, Marty Stratton fired, Hugo steps down as director and remains in art direction, and id does Quake 6 based solely on Quake 1 with nothing to do with Quake 2 and absolutely nothing to do with Quake 3

Probably Nyx is the female protagonist

[Rico Raccoon]

I only want to play as Ranger. Or Sarge. Quake shouldn't have a female protagonist.

I do wonder if Doom Dark Ages is being set up as a prequel to Quake's reboot.

Wish?

Q2 4 theme
NiN for soundtrack
And keep those degenerates machine games as far away as possible.
If they make some woke protag, im out.

[Sar]

I think id should focus on making one game. Hopefully that’s what they’re doing. If that means no new Quake in the next 5 years, then so be it.

[Grampire]

Doom = Quake

Both now have nail guns.

Why the hate for Hugo and Marty??? The existence of our current generation of DOOM games (which are brilliantly done) are the specter baby of those guys. We kinda need them. Hugo is forming the next 10-15 years of shooters

[Captain n00by]

Hopes:

- John Romero at the helm of level design (no "Daikatana 2" jokes plox)
- SP campaign, with some (cool) cinematics, but *not* a story-focused game
- it should feel like OG Quake, dark, brown, medieval, with Lovecraft horror
- some sort of appearance of Stroggs near the end of the game
- MP mode to feature more game modes and a selection of classic and new maps
- dedicated servers support
- modding support (tools, workshop)
- multiplatform but PC version comes with all the "bells and whistles"

Expectations:

- we'll probably have to make up with DooM Dark Ages
- Quake Champions will keep being supported
- maybe some more remasters (Quake III Arena? Quake 4? Quake Wars?)

EDIT: oh yeah, forgot NIN soundtrack, this is obligatory ofc.

[Grampire]

Think they should merge Doom and Quake and then try Quake - Enemy Territory again with ARC/Sentinel vs. Demon/Strogg.

[Knud den Store 🧙‍♂]

We are not getting a new anything unless Quake and Heretic become a trending subject in social media to the extent that the suits at MS cannot ignore it further.
The reason we are getting a Doom game this early is because Id Software has to compensate for Bethesda releasing nothing BUT blunders immediately after Eternal, which was also impacted by both Bethesda and Covid.

I mean Dark Ages is the game that might turn the tables for Bethesda after Redfall and Starfield.

MAKE QUAKE GREAT AGAIN, SP Male protagonist, stick to the OG Quake Lore! your wishful MODERN AUDIENCE is nowhere to be found!!

I watched some YouTube “documentary” about Doom 4’s arduous development process (I think it was Gvmers), and they do mention that after that disaster idSoft decided to focus on developing one game at a time. Very wise, and I hope they keep that practice!
