Will it save the series or doom it?
>>
>>376212951
it will be a flavour of the month esports game which everybody will play intensely for a bit and then go back to whatever they were playing before.

companies will still throw money at it because it's called quake, it will take a while before they realize that fps duel games aren't exciting for a mass audience. and the 17 pro players will cling on to it for dear life, hoping that they can make a living off it.

they won't.
>>
it's much more fun than overwatch or cs unless you're a shitter, but with good matchmaking it might be fun for even retards
>>
>>376213726
it's much less fun than real quake, unless you actually like sluggish movement, laggy netcode and microtransactions out the ass
>>
There's barely any interest in it, so it won't affect the series at all.
>>
It will die after 2 months, a few hundred will stay for a while longer, then they will all eventually quit to go back to that one game they can't possibly quit because they've convinced themselves that putting in thousands of hours into a game means you can literally never quit it.

Like every multiplayer game that happens now.

People play them a little while, but they eventually go back to the shitshow they normally play because of familiarity.
>>
>>376212951
I've playing the closed beta and whilst I think it's pretty good I'm complete shit at it and I'm getting my ass handed to me. The problem with Quake is that modern FPS have ruined the audience for shooters, most people are going to find it way too difficult to play a game like this and won't want to put in the time to get better. Every game there are like 2 guys who know how to play Quake who just dominate everyone whilst the rest of us finish with 2 kills and 19 deaths. They're going to have to find a way to appeal to casuals if they want the game to take off, the hardcore players are few and far between and focusing on them won't save the game.

It's help if they just had a server browser so newer players could just play with each other to practice, I doubt people are going to stick around if they get completely ass blasted every game.
>>
>>376212951
It's done. Abilities and stats didn't have an impact on gameplay. It feels just like Quake Live with better graphics and gimped movement.

They played it too safe, listening to """vets""" that stopped playing arena shooters long ago.
>>
flavor of month then everyone gets bored of it. unlike overwatch it dont have anything new to keep people playing
>>
Depends on how much money Bethesda is going to throw at competitions. That's the only way any PC shooter is going to exist in this age.
>>
>>376213884
I'll put in time to get better at a sport anon. There's no need for me to practise a game. Especially since you can get better at it naturally by playing and enjoying it.

Shit's dead as fuck, irrelevant flavor of the month nonsense.

100% guaranteed.

Such a contradicting post. No idea what you are trying to say
>>
>>376213884
you're getting your ass handed to you because there's no matchmaking system whatsoever in place yet. that explains why the game somehow feels it's ok to match lv3 players with lv43s.
>>
>>376212951
Quake can't really sink any lower.

Q3 is still the last good thing they did and even until today they've been riding the coat tails of the original.

Same can be said for counter-strike but idk very doubtful.
>>

>no matchmaking system
>the game somehow feels it's ok

Jesus fucking christ, fucking casuals these days. I had to look up what a smurf was because people kept complaining about them.

Fucking hell.
>>
>>376214249
How so? The only way they would have saved the genre is by taking a big risk to change up the gameplay in a significant way. They listened to the whiners and scaled back the changes in attempt to please older fans who don't play arena shooters anymore while still attracting fresh blood. The end result is a game that vets aren't going to play because they've been bored of arena for years and are too deluded to admit it and younger players aren't going to play it because there's nothing fresh or interesting about it.
>>
Right now the game just feels wrong. It might be the netcode, it might be the different starting stats, I dunno. RL was my goto weapon in QL, but in QC it just feels weak and under-powered. Splash damage does like 1 damage. The rocket delay is so bad I regularly kill myself with it, e.g. by strafing behind a wall and by the time the rocket actually comes out I blast the wall in front of me. It feels completely different from QL.

LG is quite overpowered right now, and so is the starting MG.

The RG and HMG bonus damage when zooming is just plain retarded. I'll probably sit out on future beta weekends until this shit is fixed at least.
>>
>>376214878
But it's new and fresh to these younger players because they've never played an arena shooter before.
>>
It won't be the blockbuster resurgence they want it to be. Most people have moved on from generic deathmatch, and want something with more substance.
>>
>>376214612
Its all about perspective isn't it?
I mean, if you are a good quake player, no matchmaking means you are going to get matched against players worse than you most of the time.
>>
>>376214878
>They listened to the whiners and scaled back the changes in attempt to please older fans
Literally how? and what fucking changes? You don't make sense you mongoloid. There is almost nothing changed since the first beta...
>>
>>376212951
Save hopefully. It will be f2p so alot of kids and poorfags will probably try it for a while so it'll get some attention. People who play Overwatch might try it due to the slow trickle of content for that game.
>>
>>376215498

Exactly. They need to come out with a more exciting and engaging game mode. There's a new mode coming called "sacrifice" but i'm not sure what it's all about.
>>
>>376215696
That's because you have no clue what matchmaking is anon.

If you are a good player, and want a challenge (which all good players NATURALLY do, because they are good because they like to be challenged by the game), you and all other good players naturally would want to find each other. And gee, how would they go about doing that I wonder? By playing random pubs all the time? lol

>>
>>376215406
The netcode is fundamentally fucked. 10ms ping feels like 300ms in QL. There are webms comparing the RL lag in QL and QC and it comes out to that. Sorlag's puke, RL, NG feel laggy as fuck. LG is absolutely fucked to all hell and it doesn't help that there are like 3 LG spawns on every map, QC is just LG central. Zoomed HMG is literally the best weapon to use with quad at the moment. Map layout is extremely basic and the q3dm6 remake doesn't even let you do bridge-to-rail without rocket jumping (which itself is notoriously laggy and unreliable). The netcode doesn't just fuck with the weapons, but you will also often find yourself fucked out of ability kills - you hear the fucking ding so you know the hit should've registered, but the game will ignore it and you'll die anyway. The forums are filled with complaints about lagspikes, disconnects, memory leaks, the game using 6gb of swap, 4gb of ram and 1gb of vram just sitting at the menu screen with everything set to minimum, restricted resolution modes, etc. Absolutely no reason to play this over other Quake clones.

I'd enjoy it more if it didn't take so fucking long to get into a game. Having to wait 3 mins for a match then nearly 1 min for the 'match made' screen, then the loading screen for nearly 2 mins and then finally some weird fucking intro cinematic shit for another min.

In that time, a round could almost be over in OW. It's just really fucking poorly made.

I've met a bunch of younger guys playing modern military shooters over the past decade. I always try to get people I meet to try out Quake Live and not a single one returned after playing one or two matches. They just don't enjoy arena shooters, there is nothing there for them.

If "Id" aren't retarded, (((Bethesda))) are forcing them to be.
The least of it is summed up by Id actually always been bad at multiplayer since forever, and the community saved them through custom mods and servers.
But Bethesda "Buy My Fucking Game and Buy My Fucking Mods" Zenimax won't allow that this time.

How can the netcode be so awful and have the devs said anything about it?

If they are going to let this slip by and drown the game in microtransactions I will throw my pc out of the window. Netcode and a very responsive engine should be number 1 priority in a quake game.

Popular streamers will play it for a day or two and it will get a lot of attention initially but it will be dead within a few weeks. Movement is clunky, the MOBA abilities are completely unnecessary and it's just not that fun.

Also is vsync broken? I tried the in game vsync and tried forcing it in Nvidia's control panel and neither worked, the framerate is still unlocked.
>>
>>376217603
Overwatch was shat out by Blizzard and whatever Blizzard makes, retards will eat up. The only other hero shooter (or whatever the fuck you want to call them) that's also popular is Paladins, because it's free to play so it caters to Russians and other subhumans. Every single other game in the genre was a flop.
>>
>>376217603
Overwatch is successful for the same reason TF2 was; it has distinct, fun and interesting classes - variety. QC is literally pick your gimp/worthless ability and then play the game that has been dead for 12 years.

>>376217603
Overwatch is marketed (and played by) people that doesn't like FPS.

>>376212951

I am loving it but if it doesn't have at least a planned server browser upon release, I will pass. Keep the competitive folks separate from those of us that don't have time for it. I guess there's always deathmatch.

I started playing Quake 3 in 2000 and was one of those 2/19 k/d as well. Kept practicing and now I'm on the other side of the coin here my old butt sits in 2017 whipping these kids up based on twitching a map memorization.

It's oldschool as it gets and I hope it gets a TV ad campaign showing some sick rocket jumps and frags.


To really test skill, an arena-fps is needed with random generated arenas. Quake is and always has been about map management.

Quake Champions is still at its core a twitch arena deathmatch where raw aiming skill trumps everything.

So why add in a bunch of superfluous shit over the top of what remains much the same? Well Quake is never going to be massive, its just too punishing for normies to break into. So why make the "heroes"? Well thats for cosmetic loot boxes so you can milk the shit out of the hardcore committed as fuck fanbase that is still playing variations on Quake to this day.
>>
Overall, here's my gripes...

Rocket launcher lacks "punch"
Movement is 95% there but that 5% lacking is really causing issues
No server browser, matchmaking is for tools
Shotguns fire rate is half of what it should be
Not enough "champions"
Customization is utterly confusing but as long as the microtransactions are cosmetic only np

Everyone who's been even half-decent in the beta has always gravitated towards Anarki and occasionally Sorlag. I don't know why they decided to fuck over the rest of the characters by giving them mostly unfitting passives that don't make up for their relatively bad movement.

It's still too much of an arena shooter to ever be popular. I'm decent at most shooters, at least better than the average shmuck, but the game still allows someone who's REALLY good to basically fly around the map taking everyone, camping your spawns, basically denying you from actually having a chance to play the game, which isn't fun and that shit isn't going to catch on to a mass or even a niche audience. People need a place to start to understand the game and why it can be fun, not just get dominated immediately and never learn what makes the game Quake.

On a more direct, comparison to other Quake levels, my only complaints are the stats for separate characters and the weapon damage. I don't know if lighter classes go faster, because all I've played are Nyx and Anarki and a tiny bit of Clutch, but Anarki and Nyx feel like fucking origami cranes that crumble the minute anyone with an SG, RL, or LG happens to see you. It feels like weapons do too much damage in general, almost like Quakeworld. I don't know if that's just my perception from playing squishier characters though. Oh also, I feel like instead of making three "shitty versions" of weapons they should have just made one good machine gun that actually is useful, because right now the basic MG, SG, and NG are all so fucking worthless you're better off using the gauntlet.

I've been playing in the closed beta.
It's not very interesting nor is it very addicting.

It's just a simplified Quake with no new interesting mechanics to keep you playing.

It's good if you like Quake, but bad for everyone else who doesn't.

Even without the character classes the weapons are heavily unbalanced. It's not just that the basic weapons are useless, but I've never seen anyone use the SNG, so you can imagine how much you're gimping yourself if you pick the NG as part of your starting loadout. SSG can melt squishies without even requiring you to be point-blank, but the SG is worthless even at point-blank. The MG is the only starting weapon that you might pick up a kill with, but it's still way too weak, and even though there's an SMG, why would you ever pick that over the LG which is accurate, has amazing range for an LG, and does only slightly-less damage but with a faster ROF?

LG is like mid-tier I feel while RL, SSG, and RG run the show. The Railgun is the biggest offender I think, it does 80 damage base, which was balanced in QL, but can make squishies impossible to counterplay it here, while it does 100 damage when zoomed in, for some reason, making it one of the most consistently high-damage weapons in the game. If you're not playing a class with a lot of health, the RG is terrifying.

Well the basic weapons are useless because the first thing you should do when you spawn is get a weapon.

I have never liked Quake as much as Tribes

Veterans having not only the aiming/moving advantage but also having 2x-3x a newbie's health because they know the maps and item timings is just too much of a barrier of entry

>>376223708
Well if that's how it works then okay then, even though I disagree. I feel like the advantage having multiple weapons should give is versatility, not "being able to actually kill something." Then again I haven't ever made a game so I don't really have much say.

The problem is overwatch. The skill ceiling and skill floor are right next to each other. It takes 10 minutes to master a character and the only way to improve is your aim, which applies to any FPS ever.

Wrong again. There are people who have been playing Reinhardt (a zero aim character - has only a melee attack that hits his entire screen) for hundreds of hours and they're in bronze, the lowest rank.

>he's a cerebral player, something Overwatch doesn't allow for.
See above. Reinhardt, tanks in general really, are 100% about game sense. Rapha played a tank for his team until he was booted off that role for having dogshit game sense.

>You have no idea what you're talking about
one could argue that overwatch is all game sense, and I really would not have the information to prove them wrong. But if someone were to argue that overwatch takes both game sense AND physical skill, they are just simply wrong. What I define as physical skill would be advanced mouse movements (see quake live, tf2 scout), player predicting in combat(see quake live, tf2 soldier, demo). The last thing, player prediction in combat, isnt a real thing due to the slow movement speed of all the heros and the black and white map design of where a certain hero is supposed to be.

A great example of a game that requires extreme physical skill is starcraft two. Watch the players of that game spend 1000s of hours perfecting the game and see their mouse and keyboard, and compare that to overwatch pros.

Anyway that's not important to his post because the Koreans in Overwatch aren't winning with crazy 'advanced mouse movements' like he said, they're winning by having good teamwork and chaining ultimates intelligently.

Arena shooters have gone the way of disco, like Halo, which killed the arena, and then COD, which sent Halo the way of Arena.

TF2 stripped away the arena elements to its absolute bare essentials, and pretty much created the modern incarnation of the hero shooter.

We talk a big game, but it doesn't matter because the numbers will never be there. People are going to follow the money, and right now that's MOBAs, CS:GO and Overwatch.

It's going to a be novelty with some modest success at best, and I'm glad to bear witness to this FPS renaissance. But the world moved on. RTS's gave way to MOBA and 4X.

What Quake needs, and I fucking hate myself for saying this, is to get popular streamers behind it.

They're essentially meaningless, they have no real impact on the gameplay.

Only an idiot would care in a free for all deathmatch. Also, the best way to learn how to duel, was joining a duel server, playing against better people and watch the duels of other skilled players, not getting paired with other shitters that don't know how to play.

Matchmaking is a mistake, but seems that the so called "gamers" need a MMR number tied to their name.

>they keep trying to make a fucking e-sport instead of a fun game
Funny enough, the games made "for fun", like Quake 3, Starcraft or Dota (just a fun custom map) became the big esports. Meanwhile, the "we want the esports audience" game are all dead. Seems that devs and idiots never learn the lesson.
>>
>>376234053
Huh? Seems like any game with some sort of ranked mode is thriving right now.

>>376234143
Like Evolve, For honor or HotS?

>Will it save the series or doom it?

This depends.
How much emphasis and development will go into making new "champions" with unique skills and balancing the health, armor, and speed?

If they ditch that bullshit and focus on core gameplay and promote the classic play where there are no individual skills or other character changes then it might do really well. If they become a fast paced Overwatch and suggest to players to play characters based on skill? It's done for.
>>
>>376234236
Like CSGO, DotA 2, League of Legends, H1Z1, Overwatch, Rocket League, Hearthstone, Rainbow Six: Siege and actually, HotS is doing quite well right now. But yes, Evolve and For Honor failed hard, Evolve wasn't a good competitive game let alone a good game and For Honor was plagued with poor technical choices.

why not make it duo vs multiple or some shit, could've made some great branches with monster teams and hunter teams

Nobody cares about the "esport" part of these games.

These became esports because they were good games with huge communities. They weren't designed to be esports.

So in other words, a game is only 'designed for esports' if you say it is and having a competitive ranked mode which the game is balanced around is no indication that a game is designed to be played competitively.

And here I thought 4chan was 18+.

So, every game with a ranked mode is an esports now? Guess that's confirms that you are legally retarded.

Pro tip: Quake 3, Starcraft, CS and Dota didn't had ranked modes.
>>
>>376235438
>Nobody cares about the "esport" part of these games.

Nigger, H1Z1's last tournament was broadcast live on TV. Some NEET from /v/ who doesn't care about something isn't evidence that nobody cares about it.
>>
>>376236004
Yes, every game with a ranked mode is competitive. That's the whole purpose of a ranked mode no matter how much you cry about it, kiddo.
>>
>>376236148
>I can't tell the difference between "competitive" and "esports"
OK then.
>>
>>376236004
>So, every game with a ranked mode is an esports now?

It's certainly more indicative of a game being competitive than some nerd on the internet saying it isn't in an attempt to move a goal post in an argument.
>>
>>376236219
>difference between "competitive" and "esports"

Oh boy, this one is going to be good. I'll wait for the explanation, senpai.

there are speedcaps (which you an break with rj) on everyone except Visor but the mechanics arent restricted, circle/strafejumping is there and everyone has some degree of slight aircontrol (with Sorlag and Anarki having full bhop)

bc they dont know about his hidden vroom vroom ability yet

he gains speed by just holding W but if you do a mouse movement like a circlejump nice and smooth in a 180 at the same time he breaks his speed cap and goes fast

HUGE hit box and rail zoom dmg does not give a fuck about health, so easy to rail spam down to and easy to lightning gun down because LG has crazy range and big fat clutch can do much about it

I'm getting flashbacks to a year ago; when Overwatch was in beta and people on /v/ were saying it had no chance of success, and they couldn't wait to see this """tf2 clone""" crash and burn.
As a Quake veteran, I'm enjoying QC, it has all the movement capabilities, and most of the weapons from Q3, and I don't really mind the champion abilities because they barely impact the game at all.

This is something that brainlets who haven't played the game will have a hard time seeing, but it's true.

The game needed to try to do something different; arena shooters don't sell on their own anymore, and anyone who denies this fact is fucking delusional. I'm satisfied with the game atm, but I'd like to see more content, an emphasis on weapon balance over champion balance, and a server browser; if they can add these 3 things, it will be GOTY.

In a world where Wolfenstein and Doom made got-tier comebacks, I think new Quake is pretty likely.

Champions already has some lore about the arenas being linked to Old Gods. So Cthulhu shit would probably be more likely than stroggs.

>>376221136

If a game is laggy when your internet isn't laggy, it's probably because your computer's hardware is struggling to play the game smoothly.
