It seems the Quakecon website talks about a revitalized Quake.
Now the question is what does that mean?
Both iD and Machine Games seem to be involved. Maybe it's a reimagining of it?

[I collect VHS tapes]

Last Quake game I played was Quake 3. Is the series still alive?

 

[SpokkX]

Sounds like a modern port/refresh

i am all in!

 

[GrayChild]

I just hope Machine Games won't be involved in it.

 

[SirKicksalot]

I'd rather have no Quake than a Machine Games Quake.
This probably a new port with the soundtrack included and with the 2016 free mission pack developed by Machine Games.

There is Quake Champions. Forever in early access. I play it all the time, but not many do. Hard to get matches sometimes.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

Quake 1 remaster/remake will be nice!

 

[Fake]

I rather prefer a Quake 1 remaster.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Never played quake, but a battle arena multiplayer shooter sounds like smth MS would want to revive.

 

[R6Rider]

I've actually never played a Quake game before.

 

[CamHostage]

"...additional content Machine Games have contributed to this revitalized edition" ?

Sounds like it's a re-release (remastered? reimagined? just re-release on PC/console with new DLC?) of an old Quake with new level packs or character skins or whatever add-ins created by MachineGames, no? Could be cool, a tribute edition with ID teams contributing maps or content to make it special.

 

[Yams]

A remaster/remake of Quake has been rumoured for a while. Has to be this, right? I would have loved if iD gave Quake the Doom 2016 treatment but I don't think this is that.

 

[PrimeX]

Played all the Quakes and I absolutely want a new one. Too much time has passed since a proper shooter has been made.

 

[twilo99]

Zero chance.

Maybe 2023

 

[SantaC]

I just hope Machine Games won't be involved in it.

Me too because i want them to make Indiana Jones.

The current version is free

Quake Champions on Steam (steampowered.com)

 

[SantaC]

I just hope Machine Games won't be involved in it.

What people dont know here is that machine games co-developed the last Doom game.

I don't think that's true. Do you mean Panic Button?

 

[Darlingcognito]

Remake of Quake one with RT please.

 

[ZehDon]

New release that's a source port with RT - similar to the Quake 2 RTX release Nvidia put together - but all of the mission packs and soundtracks included... I'd pay an obscene amount of money.

 

[V4skunk]

I hope its a Quake1 remake.
Not interested in a remaster because they can't do anything that has not been done already with mods.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Fuck didn't know this game is still alive lol

 

[Plantoid]

A cinematic trailer would be enough to generate hype, we need more arena shooters

 

[fatmarco]

I hope its a Quake1 remake.

To be fair we haven't had a console port of Quake 1 since the Nintendo 64 in 1998, and that was 23 years ago so at the very least the original version on multiple systems is due.

And then as far as Quake 2 we haven't had a port since that bonus disc on Quake 4 for the 360, which almost doesn't count and it was 16 years ago.

Christ to think it's actually been 23 years and 16 years respectively that both games have been on a console is disgraceful considering Doom and Duke Nukem 3D get a new version every generation.

 

[Sander Cohen]

Quake II…memories man, that was my first FPS back in the day, eons ago. A lot of it has faded now but has significant overlapping with Doom series, right?

I’m down with going through that memory lane, bring it on.

Syphon Filter next haha

 

[Fake]

To be fair we haven't had a console port of Quake 1 since the Nintendo 64 in 1998, and that was 23 years ago so at the very least the original version on multiple systems is due.

And Quake 64 is amazing even with so much limitations.

 

[Monado Blade]

I really miss Quake 1! I'd welcome a remake or a remaster or a reinterpretation. I want it!

 

[.Pennywise]

Watch it be a totally new Quake next-gen only with SP campaign.

Spoiler

It's about the Strogg

 

[Xdrive05]

Any chance for id tech 7 again, or will MS make them do some DX engine?

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Oh fuck, oh fuck


Quake? QUAKKEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[renzolama]

I just hope Machine Games won't be involved in it.

The idea of machine games, a company whose games have increasingly worse mechanics with each iteration, being involved with quake in any way pretty much ruins any hype I'd have for it

 

[Vindicator]

If Machine Games are working on it, you will probably be fighting Nazi Monsters/Strogg.

 

[Mess]

I wouldn't read too much into it, maybe a RT client for Q1 with a new campain or something...

The Quake brand is nowhere as strong as it used to be and is mainly arena shooter with signature mechanics (advanced and continous movement akin to bh, strafejump, ...). Quake Champions came out in 2017 iirc, tried to embrace that legacy and didn't really find an audience despite a big cash prize tournament at QCon. Quake purist hated the champions and new duel rules and when they switched back to traditionnal duel, the newcomers to arena shooters lost knew they would never catch up with the oldguard who had been playing the game for 20 years...

 

[Calverz]

Seems like this will just be a upgraded port of the pc original. Shame as i would have preferred a remake. Il still take this though

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Machine Games already did release an additional episode for Q1 couple of months back. If they did the same thing now, it wouldn't make any sense to give this it's own panel at the con.

 

[DGrayson]

Hope you guys have phones.

 

[Xyphie]

I don't expect much. Source port with expansions plus the episode MachineGames did for the 20th anniversary.

 

[clintar]

nobody gonna put real effort behind arena shooter. too niche

 

[Fart Knight]

I started this rumor!

 

[DragonNCM]

Sounds like a modern port/refresh

i am all in!

Gues......it is time to dust off my railgun.......

 

[ZywyPL]

True, UT4 and Quake Champions never had a chance. I'm honestly amazed that Halo is so alive given it's the same type of experience.

Back in june, there was rumor of a Quake reboot with a girl as the main character.

The rumor was covered on The XboxEra Podcast by insider Shpeshal Nick, who covered its developers, genre, and possible protagonist. He notes that he received a Discord message detailing this new Quake game that will allegedly not be only developed by id Software, but will be assisted by MachineGames. The latter company was responsible for rebooting the Wolfenstein series, starting with Wolfenstein: The New Order. Shpeshal Nick goes on to report the game will be both a single-player and multiplayer affair.

Quake Reboot With Female Protagonist Rumored to Be in Development

An Xbox insider shares news that id Software's Quake franchise potentially has a reboot in development, including a possible female lead.

[deriks]

If is old style with a good single-player Quake, yes. We have too much arena shooters now. Even fucking Quake Champion was launched not so long ago

 

[niilokin]

Would be interesting if its the dark gothic quake, in QC the death knight and maybe sorlag and scalebearer fit the og quake universe?

 

[KRYPT83]

What people dont know here is that machine games co-developed the last Doom game.

Haters is all Machine games is one of the best AAA fps devs they will knock it out of the park

 

[Null Persp]

It's time.
I hope it's a sequel with Quake I setting to differentiate from Doom, and not a remaster.

 

[WitchHunter]

"It meant so much for us. Our childhood, the echoes of slaughter and laughter mixed is simply unforgettable. Ah, fuck it!

Now, we'll present Quake I Remastered with id Tech 6, with MegaTextures new story elements, rewriten dialogues and collectables.

John Romero will do a cameo appearance while John Carmack will appear as a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu martial artist god. And we'll also add Paul Steed's never before released low neckline models too."

 

[MiguelItUp]

Nothing has felt more legitimate thus far other than the schedule stuff. So, guess we'll find out next week.

I'm hyped AF, honestly. Just hoping for the best across the board. Especially since Quake is my baby.

If this was messed up in a way, omg the backlash would be horrendous, lol.
