quakecon - quake champions showmatch (noctis and fatal1ty were playing in this but not in the official tourneys, they're helping balance it? )
looks way way better than the trailer even in potato quality, apparently anarki has qw/cpm movement but reduced health, good to see them all? have strafe jumping

maybe this can end the holy war between all the various movement modes (vq3, cpma, other, etc.)
rumor has it that you can just pick the character that moves however you want to move

I have no fucking idea why they keep fucking doing this. First with Doom and now with Quake. Let us see the game along with everyone who's attended. They are so stupid.
Thanks!
Shame they're so short. There's a lot of criticism because of the hero stuff so they really should show some gameplay to see if it really plays like Quake or not.

Very interesting. Looks like a TDM game was going on. Also interesting, was that an announcer mentioned that both teams controlled an "obelisk", and that it granted a "frag bonus".
Very interesting indeed.

Here's a leaked match from QuakeCon:

It's off-screen and low-quality, but you can get a handle on the gameplay regardless. It's interesting how Visor's wall hack works. Using the ability emits a giant blue energy wave throughout the arena, so everyone knows the wall hack is being used. I guess that's how they're balancing it?

They should really allow those vídeos. They do a better job showing off the pace of the game
Didn't think that they are that far to already show of whole matches. Much further along than I thought.
Map looks really dark in places, but that's almost 100% due to offscreen.
Do we know if this is F2P btw?
If they do it right, they can sell so much cool stuff for this game.
Item skins, that show the pick-ups in a Quake 1,2 or 3 style. Retro Announcers, Player models. Even map skins could be possible.

Yo I would definitely use a low poly quake 1 ranger model
They just have to make sure not to sell a lime green Tank Jr. skin, otherwise it's Quake 3 all over again

id Software said they're just going to build the game first, and then figure out the appropriate monetization approach afterwords. So they don't know yet, and they said it's a tough call.

I'd be perfectly ok with a function that displays all users as the same mesh if every character's Hitboxes are different,
But I doubt thatll be the case since every character is unique from a functional standpoint... Odds are everyone will have nearly identical hitboxes

It's been confirmed that Champions can be turned off in custom games, but competitive play will still use Champions of course:

Looks good, but iD really needs some new art people. These characters are so ugh.
Also psyched for Diabotical... suddenly some new arena shooters again.
