If Quake was done today

Those that remember what it was like to game in the 90s, probably dont give a crap about scores and sales.

Sucks to be a new generation gamer.

Nope, I remember looking at scores in magazines in the early 90s. Link To The Past was the highest on the SNES. Dead on, scores are handy ya know?locopatho

They are now, back then you had to buy a magazine to read them.

No one really gave a **** tho.

I remember when looking at the back of the game was the deciding factor.

I don't see the problem with being a new generation gamer.You can always choose not to care.

Not everyone is busy with scores and sales.

Remember when devs actually cared about the game manual?

I don't find it funny. Poor attempt at making fun out of QTEs and on-screen help or tips.

And ironically the original Quake didn't have any graphics options either other than changing resolution and screen size/brightness.

Damn you, TC! Now you've made me reinstall Quake! :P

lawl... so true...... especially the part where you just shoot at something and the boss dies in 1 hit... how lame is that ?

Sorry but someone beat you to it with this video. But anyways they forgot to add online passes :lol:

Its sad enough already

I imagine if Quake was to be done today, it would look kinda like Bioshock.

Just saw the video and man that is really sad.

I didn't even do half the crap that guy did in the end of the video and yeah that is the truth. Corridor FPSs that have no free roam or anything and DLC up the butt just to nickle and dime you.

Yeah, scores are stupid. Read the review and find out if its for you. Too many people look at just the number and base their decisions off of that. Well, hype mostly and scores second.

Ah quake..... Back when Id was still good......dracolich55

Good tech-demo makers that is :P

^ I second this right here. I wish they were good still, I am concerned about Doom 4 to be honest. I wish developers would start making really really good FPS again not this **** generic military crap. I am sooo tired of it, even battlefield, I jsut want to frag people with a ginormous flak cannon like in Unreal again, and nerd out with my friends.

Yea, but I personally feel their peak was the first Doom. The later games weren't as good or were more multi-player focused (the Quake games in particular).

As much as i loved arena games i seriously don't understand the point in being a sour puss and spending so much time and effort in making a video about how great gaming was when you had hair...(To the creator of the video)

Move on... Get over it..

Had hair? Boy I still GOT hair. I maintained full badassery when all the ninnies came marching down a-praisin' their new god-king Modern Warfare. A heart of a true man never changes with the corrupt times.:cool: :P

This X1000000. When I opened Gears 3, I was so disappointed to see that there was no manual whatsoever. Hell, most games seem to have manuals that consist of only a few black and white pages now. Back in the day, looking through the colorful thick booklet was one of the best parts when opening a game case for the first time. Not only that, but they used to give the box a heavier feel that made the game seem to be worth more. I miss 'em. :(

What happened? Consoles ruined shooters.

Don't worry, give it 15 years and the console generation will be saying the same thing about the iPhone.

Or psychiatrist. Whichever you prefer, really.

Could had been better, but the DLC is spot on.:lol:

while playing quake, dark forces, ultimate doom, and duke nukem 3D 10+ years ago, I never imagined the obnoxious pretentiousness that would spawn from their fanbases years later and their condescension towards modern FPS games.

I'm not sure I agree with this. I also did a lot of fast forwarding through that video. But to compare an average gamer with an uber-rocket jumping gamer?... Do not agree.musicalmac

You missed the point. Its about the devs, not the gamers.
