Why there will never be a Quake 5
After some pondering about it, I have come to the conclusion on why there'll never be a Quake 5. The answer, of course, is because it's not marketable. who are they going to sell a Quake 5 to? they sell Wolfenstein to people on the left because it gives them a Nazi-killing power fantasy. They sell Doom to the classic Doom fans, and edgelords who just want to play an over the top, violent game. What about Rage? Well it seems that they decided to go the route of Marketing it to the same people who would play games like Borderlands, or Saint's Row. The people who like to play games with over the top themes. Even Quake Champions has a marketable audience. It's the fans of the classic quake games, Quake 3 and hero oriented shooters. if there was a single-player Quake 5 who would they market that game to? The first Quake was a hodgepodge of ideas, with a focus on the 3D tech they had just made. The second one had more of a focus on gameplay and story mechanincs. The third quake was really more of a Tech-Demo with focus on Multiplayer. Q4 was their attempt to take on the Halo series. The one thing that all the Quake games have in common is a strong multiplayer component, therefore, Quake is only marketable as a multiplayer game.

TL;DR: The Quake series is only marketable as a multiplayer game.

Quake Champions failed largely because it doesn't have anywhere near a fraction of the budget of an actual AAA game, this much is true. The differences between QC and DooM 16 in performance, amount of content, and overall quality of content are just astounding. For $40 you get infinitely more out of DooM than you do out of the Champion Pack for QC.

Half Measure is the perfect way of putting it. They invested as little resources into this game as possible to maximize returns as much as possible because they had absolutely no faith in the viability of their own product. Like they handed it off to some small russian team with a terrible track record for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake.

That said though Halo is an awful example to make any kind of point. Both because the original is barely an AFPS to begin with, and because it's been unrecognizably bastardized beyond that point anyways and still struggling hard to stay relevant.

Wha...? What do Muslims have to do with Quake?

Well he meant Mil-Sims, generic military games, but that doesn't make his alt-right nonsense any less idiotic.

They need to gey back to roots, bring back original maps from QL, and just go for a FPS without classes, champions and additional boosts. Question is, would there be still a marker for this game..

The kind of purists that care about that ♥♥♥♥ aren't exactly concerned with graphics to begin with, and would be the only people actually playing it if they even migrated from Quake Live at all. Even if you had a point about the gameplay itself though, do you think some random person off the street, your target consumer, gives a single flying ♥♥♥♥ whether Sarge or Aerowalk are in the game? No, only obsessive Quake vets care about that kind of petty nonsense.

Quake Champions was the right call, just with the worst execution imaginable.

Go balls deep into Lovecraftian horror, that's how it would work. A lot of games go for that style but few actually bring it to life, the original Quake and Bloodborne are the two that stick out to me. Quake Champions somewhat attempted this but they did it in a safe inoffensive cartoony way.

I want the dark atmosphere of Quake 1. I want to run through environments that will give me nightmares and fight monsters horrifying beyond imagination. Sure you fight demons in hellish landscapes in Doom, but you're never afraid of them because the game is designed to make you feel like an unstoppable badass. Invert that, keep the speed of Quake 3 but put the player up against threats in a living nightmare that'll make them ♥♥♥♥ themselves. Also get Trent Reznor back, because this is Quake, and it deserves everything that can be brought to it.

To actually pull this off they'd have to stick to a serious vision, no "wink wink this is soooooo violent and spooky ecks dee" and that's the problem, I doubt Bethesda will dump money into something that doesn't hit all the focus group check marks. It would turn into a lazy "self-aware so you can laugh and not take it seriously" product with a cliche cinematic story featuring 'relateable' characters and dumb political commentary.

I hope beyond hope that they'll make a Quake 5 with a singleplayer focus but I never see it happening. It seems like the people at Bethesda who greenlight these sequels only look at the most marketable aspects of them.

An actual vision that doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥ who isn't into it.
If done right like a more challenging painkiller, I think I can see it fitting into a niche genre. It's just tough though because ultimate question is still who's going to buy it. Which really is why battle royale sells so well vs. The hundreds of much better games like Fictorum for example.

Quake 1 SP was a masterpiece, it still is - I played some levels again recently and I still miss that type of game. Doom2016 was great, but it didn't quite get the feel of either Doom I/II or Quake imo.

I'd say Quake has as much chance of success as doom did, if not more due to the deeper potential of the story/lore. I read a reddit q&a recently with Machine games devs who did wolfenstien, and the lead dev (a guy called jerk) said he has it on his bucket list to remake Quake 1 - and has made many quake maps over the years including the 20th anniversary campaign. So with Machine games current relationship with id, and the success of the wolfenstien games, who knows what could happen with Quake in the future. Can't see it being anytime soon though.

It's really depressing, when Fortnite imploded I thought it meant UT4 would benefit from it, and then Epic pulled the plug completely. No large studio wants to spend even a sliver of their income taking risks.

You know what? You're probably right.

Even though a Quake reboot in the vein of Doom '16 could be lovely, the Quake franchise is too much at odds with current tastes in the main-stream gaming audience.

Prove me wrong but I don't think most people would "get it", unless it would be a direct re-skin of Doom '16. But then, it wouldn't be exactly Quake but Doom with Quake's aesthetics.

Time to put WRATH: Aeon of Ruin on your wishlist, as that's probably the best it will get in regards to modern-day SP oriented Quake-like title (with some Heretic/Hexen thrown into it too):

That looks cool as hell.

If there is a market for Doom there is a market for singleplayer Quake, these games are not that different just different settings. Playing the latest Doom game made me feel like a kid playing Quake 2 back in the days.

Quake 5 would work if it had a superb singleplayer aswell as a multiplayer.

Why do these games that claim to play like it's the 1990s always have dated pixelated blocky playstation one graphics, that needs a voodoo 2 or matrox video card to play them.

Why cant they have modern graphics like Hell Bound

This game will have a story mode, modern visuals and has reached its crowd funding target, and is snapped up by a developer.

The demo that is currently on steam is just a single arena survival mode leader board that was made available to test.

Picking out one misinformed point and basing your whole rebuttal on it is ridiculous, especially if you don't have a point to prove my entire post wrong. If I'm so incorrect, then who would they sell the game to? I don't really want to hear about how good the game could be because they could make the best game ever and it won't sell.That's the issue. The series has no audience. Also, I've played both of the new Wolfenstein games, they're not that good. RTCW is much better. But, please, tell me who they should market a new quake game towards.
