It deals with a dimensional quake. It's also the codename for Shub-Niggurath, the final boss.

literally meaningless, they could have just called it an invasion incident.

That'd be like if Call of Duty wasn't about a soldier but instead a loose cannon heavily armed action dude and the villain was codenamed "Call of Duty".

There you go. Quake = Shub-Niggurath.

If you're going to do this, then do it right, like

>Duke Nukem 3D
>No regional lords nuking anything in 3D.

>The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

>Yar's Revenge

>>3234305
Quake 2 had actual quakes.

>>3234385
Yes he does.

This actually sounds way better than what we got.

>>3234452
Maybe it refers to how you deal with a menace and powers from the past? (Ganon's resurrection, sages, the Master Sword, etc.)

Wasn't it the first Zelda game to actually treat story elements as legends?

Quake has the player take the role of interdimensional shotgun cop John Quake in his rip-roaring kick-ass roadtrip through doomed techno bases, abyssal netherhalls and labyrinthine death follies

Catch a wild slipgate and head straight for the heart of the action to help John Quake fight his mortal enemy, the savage Sub Negrowrath, and get revenge for the death of his wife and kids who were slaughtered by Sub's gangs of motorcycle riding murderdemons

Hmm, just curious what might have been you know.
Originally Wolf3D was supposed to be more of a Metal Gear in 3D experience, but they went full fps shooter.
Doom was originally pitched as an Aliens shooter with cpu marines helping you out.

While the games we got are good, one can not wonder if they could have pulled off a more rpgish alien experience with cpu helpers.
