What happened to this...

What happened to this? It's like it fell off the face of the Earth and even wikipedia doesn't have any release date information other than "worldwide 2017". Did the new Wolfenstein being a massive shitshow give them cold feet?

Quake purists have a fit but I love this game.

The failure of alternatives hero FPSes to Overwatch must also have made an impact on them.

They don't want another Battleborn/Lawbreakers on their hands.

it came out 3 months ago to middling reception? you can look this shit up, OP

This was also on Humble monthly a while ago

It just kind of died off over time given the natural lack of interest in these kind of games when they are in closed beta/Early Access, and future patches made the game somehow run worse on top of the new changes to the netcode making it even more unbearable to play. I was in the closed beta, bitched a while on the forums about poor character balance and the flawed direction of the game, but had to stop playing because I was getting constant lag spikes which made the game unplayable for me. That, and 'Quake but with abilities' isn't that much of an attention grabber or great innovation. Last I heard your damage and RoF got somehow tied to your framerate, so fuck that.

It'd be a cool new direction if the abilities were more like a tool both parties involved had to play around like Ranger's Teleport Orb, whose existence alone can generate tons of mindgames, prediction, and the bread and butter of high-level Quake play. Instead most characters have abilities which practically amount to Ultimates as they solely exist to give you an upper hand in battle, like a wallhack, medkit, get-out-of-jail escape card, dual-wielding for double damage and ridiculous shit like that you can't really play around. It's not that I mind these abilities, but bar Ranger they all took them to retarded directions.

According to SteamDB, it has less players than Quake Live.

Their entire market strategy was retarded: they should have kept Quake Live as free to play to grow a playerbase that would naturally migrate to Quake Champions when it is finally released. Also QC shouldn't be put out as early access: it splits the already small playerbase among two Quake games, now they have two semi-dead games on their hands.

Steam says it's still early access. Is that good enough for a AAA release now?

Retards still don't know understand they can't fool all of the people all of the time.


Reverse image search gives me nothing.
Woulf you be kind enough to state the source?

exhentai.org/g/1049995/68176e40e2/
starts from page 34

holy shit bethesda. whats the point of having a female character if it looks and sounds male? stop trying to be marvel.

At this point, it's a shittier version of Quake Live, and is somehow worse than UT4. Speaking of UT4, they should've cut and run on QC when they saw that UT4 was getting 20 players a month.

Thanks lad
Much appreciated

I love it and I know its going to die
Epic is just going to have the Tencent kikes kill it so they can focus everything on Fortnite and its Battle Royal normalfag pandering because thats what Millenials love.

Everything I love must die eventually, this will be no different, it will die before its even finished.

I really enjoy UT4, but it's not fun playing against bots all day long, because the only servers are 250+ ping. I unironically enjoy Paragon, Epic's mediocre MOBA, but they'll kill that too, soon enough. They'll kill everything except Fortnite, probably.

Sorlag was always female, you dumb nigger

It's on humble bundle for less than 5 dollars.
It's that bad,

Multiplayer Quake was never good

It's an mtf tranny now.

Get out of my face faggot, you're the reason the industry is as shit as it is.

MOBAs used to be good pre 2012
Diretide Dota 2 used to be fun as fuck before Valve made it into an esport, removed all the fun to prioritise tourneyfags

Mobas aren't the problem, shitty companies and esports are to blame.

Only one. And that's because it's a really shitty third person shooter with levelling up.

Mobas are inherently flawed.
45 minute game, where the first 20 minutes (laning, farming) are boring but decide the outcome of the next 5 minutes (teamfights), the only time there's anything resembling fun actually happening. And after that, you have to endure 20 more minutes where everyone already knows who's going to win, they can't just do it yet.

A game genre designed so that only 1/9 of the time played is actually fun and advertizes itself solely showcasing that 1/9 of the game is not only terrible, it's dishonest.
It would be like Quake having a lobby where you have to fire rockets at bots running straight lines for 20 minutes between every single match, and then depending on how many bots you hit, you start with different amounts of Health\Shield and possibly a Quad damage.


This however has nothing to do with Quake Champions. Having abilities doesn't make it a MOBA since that's not the defining characteristics of one anyway, the comparison is retarded.
UT2K4 had Adrenaline combos and even Species Statistics anyway and it handled it very well, it's the utter lack of balance and over focus on those abilities that makes Quake Champions utter shit.

My guess is they realised after the beta that no one was going to play what is effectively a Quake 3 mod that runs like shit.


The problem isn't even with the game itself, although it also runs like complete dog shit for no fucking reason while having lackluster graphics. The game is actually fine in the purism department, it's getting to the part where you play the game takes way too fucking long. No dedicated servers, all matchmaking trash. I estimated that I spent about 3 minutes in the menu for every 15 minute deathmatch, and you have to wait after each match. What a waste of time.

It's not purism, the game isn't much like Quake.
They only called it that for the name recognition.

The game is a Quake 3 mod. You could make this game for Quake 3 using mod tools in like 6 months, I would think. Add ability button that does shit depending on skin, change speed, health and armor variables based on skin. Done. Which is why it falls completely on its face in light of its technical issues and overbearing menu. Also, Sacrifice is a stupid fucking mode.

Not familiar with Quake but I'm not sure if that's an option for modding tools.
And even then, they'd kvetch because you're not using a gun to use whatever ability you're firing off.

Isn't pretty much every shooter in the past 20ish years a glorified Quake mod?

Hardly. 2 weapon limit, sprint, no rocketjumping, much higher focus on hitscan vs projectiles, bigger maps with less detail, geometry is abused in different ways for shitty things, etc.
Unless you mean unpopular games like Xonotic and Reflex that are essentially quake iterations with their own spin on it.

Are you fucking insane? I wish. Half-Life is a glorified Quake mod though.

I could see this being a popular Q3 mod back in its heyday. If it were released as a Q3 mod now, it would be passed up because of its lackluster nature.

Female reptiles are physically superior to males. This is biologically accurate.

The way everyone and their mother is rushing to make a game that cashes in on Overwatch's success is just a repeat of when everyone was trying to make a "WOW killer" and it's failing just as hard if not harder. Why haven't the major developers learned their lesson?

I swear I remember hearing that COD uses code ripped straight from Quake with some middleware on top.

Its the suits behind it that drive them to follow the trends. They don't get that players are a finite resource, if they are playing one game, why are they going to buy another?

Most modern shooters are Unreal mods, by that standard. I think the first 2 or 3 CoD games may have used the Quake engine as a foundation, but I'm pretty sure the newer ones do not.

If only

It's what happens to AAA games that get shelved because the publisher knows it won't succeed.

Well duh, obviously. I mean, Quake uses stolen code from Doom too, which in turn stole it from Tetris. You're not so much firing bullets as rather letting them fall down, if you understand a bit of geometry.
Where do you think the concept of "Fill your enemies with bullets!" even come from? Filling lines!
Sounds far fetched? Well, considering that Doom was propaganda against communists, portraying them as demons that you could only defeat by playing their game (violence/Tetris), it all makes sense.

Zenimax happened and the idiots tried to sell an awful quake 3 mod and expected it to sell, except quake 3 players would rather play quake 3 arena and overwatch players would rather play overwatch. This is what happens when you're an idiot who chases market trends without understanding consumers. I'd sooner play Quake 3 Arena (which is still going strong) than this bastardized Quake Champions shit.

Waste of trips. It's a fucking anthropomorphic reptile so how does it not adhere to mammalian standards? It's anthro. Sexual dimorphism isn't exclusive to mammals. There was no excuse to at least make it look female. They did it with the argonians. Just making it sound female would've helped alot.

...

Teehee nigger posting!
Weeee :D!

Anthro does not mean nor imply mammal.

No, it is not. But it also doesn't mean that every female must have tits, child bearing hips and be smaller\weaker than the males.
It only means that both sexes are different and combine their differences when they mate unto a newer generation.

Specifically for the reptiles, it makes sense for the female to be bigger and stronger, since she carries the eggs (and protects them?) while the male does nothing but deposit sperm inside of her, making him expendable as fuck.
For this situation, "looking female" means being buff as fuck to defend your eggs from every other threat that wants to eat them, while being male means "being a sleazy fuck that doesn't need to eat much and is fast enough to slip the D in her".

Now you're using aliens\fantasy creatures\genetic experiments\mutants to further your argument.
Argonians that live closer to the Hist do not look human to begin with. Only those that live among humans or closer to them do because the Hist deems it advantageous that they mimick human anatomy to fit in better.
Female argonians don't have tits to breast feed, they have tits to blend in with humans.

You're a faggot that can't distinguish reality from fiction, misuses scientific terms you do not understand and pseudo-science for when even that fails you.

...

He's got a point. Anthro is to be human shaped, and humans are mammals and adhere to specific dimorphisms.

I can't really say it's terrible but it ain't great either. Pretty much like most of the games you see nowadays: mediocre. Playing it just makes you feel empty inside, it's completely souless. It doesn't offer you anything beyond the "press the button for our server to find a game for you so you could enjoy a quick match" formula. There will never be any kind of modding support, there will never be a decent community around the game. Sure, some big well-known e-sports players will play it but that's just how e-sports is: you play whatever you can get money for.

Holy shit you're terrible. Do you get off to FTM trannies or something?

Seems like you're the stupid nigger who's posting to me, nigger.

I guess if you design a creature with two legs, two arms and a head, it has to have tits. Thanks for the clarification.

That's what mammalian means you fucking idiots, mammary glands. That is the primary thing that sets mammals apart from other creatures, that and body hair.

Why are you being intentionally obtuse when it's easy to understand that it's supposed to be a bipedal lizard creature which suggests a more reptilian biology?
Stop being a lazy faggot and design your own fuckable lizard.

If it's female, then kinda yeah.

W E W
Tell that to the entire furry community. Are we reptiles? Stop being autistic and google the definition you fucking sperglord. Sorlag is objectively an anthro. There are no reptiles in real life that have a fucking human build like that.

Yes, anthro refers to humans, not specifically their mammalian qualities.
Walking upright is also an anthro feature.
Being able to talk and use complicated language is also anthro.
Having the intelligence to do so is also anthro.

I think you should kill yourself.

What the fuck it's gone

Amazing game running hard into technical problems.

Pair this with the fact that arenafags don't put any hours in their games whatsoever, and you have a too small playerbase.

I play as much as I can, but there are few people who can even stomach a game this precise and fast.

Also is not quake, I played the crap out Q3 and played QL for years before it died and went P2P on steam, I enjoyed it even if i had to play CA most of the on top of jewry like paying for dedicated server or the stupid tier system change making everyone reach maximum tier and most of the player base only playing CA instead of CTF and duels

Disgusting.

Fuck off Willits


People made TF out of Quake. That doesnt mean that TF2 is pure Quake. DotA was derived from Starcraft, and that doesn't make DotA an RTS

My bad, technically warcraft 3, despite being a descendant of a starcraft mod, nitpicking over

I think more people are interested in a mod that emulates Quake Champions instead of the actual Quake Champions.

Quake Champions was supported to be a expansion for Quake Live

Thanks for letting us know, Todd.

>Q4: made when iD stopped actually making games and just outsourced all their IPs to Raven Studios (RIP)not actually dead but all they do now is Call of Duty multiplayer maps and shit, may as well be dead before coming back with 1997 textures in RAGE and completely replacing the entire team with losers for nuDoom, was a sequel to Q2 and actually pretty good

I'm all for a smexy reptile gal, but sorlag does have the build of a man. Speaking of that, what's with all the hyper masculine anthropomorphic "female" reptilians lately? The Drakken from endless legend are a prime example.

This is highly problematic, I'm so glad our enlightened progressive game design in the current year doesn't allow for this bigotry.

I heard it has really terrible netcode.

Then why is it so popular.

I can clarify what happened:


steamcharts.com/app/611500#All

Video related should give you a good idea of how they fucked up their last project. Those people are now the ones who are developing Quake Champions. Think about that.

The game is out?

The wikia is devoid of any information and currently vandalised

momentum + low execution barrier

For the longest time I've been waiting on the Nyx porn and it never came. I'm disappointed.

Personally been a big UT fan sinc the first unreal. UT4 is no where close to UT99 or even the UT3 most people hated (which i loved). I tried it when it first launch with 3 placeholder bmp maps, the weapons feel nothing like any of the UT even the 2k3/4, bots lost the steve polge magic and god damn something doesn't feel right with the facing world.

Nyx is literally the only good thing to come out of this bethshit.

There are more Quake pros playing Overwatch than there are playing QC.

It was just fixed by someone, but it has several spelling, and grammatical errors so it was probably fixed by some asshurt pajeet.

I wonder if a shill obviously saw my post and reported back to his masters. Shows how dead the game is if there is no lightning gun page or anything about the levels. There is basically no information about the game anywhere.

...

Maybe the game doesn't exist, and it's just a money laundering front. They probably plan to cut, and run around christmas.

That's crazy but it might be the case. Lawbreakers has less players but at least it was talked about. We knew when it was released for example and there were some funny vids (crowbcat and the coupleofgeeks thing). What if all the footage, that tournament and all the players are all faked?

I believe you can drop 30 shmekels on steam to play this garbage, right the fuck now.

Will anyone actually do that? They know no one will. The game doesn't fucking exist.

The only talking of it I've seen was about how dead it is and badly it flopped.

Judging by the negative reviews on steam, it definitely does exist, but it would be better if it didn't.

The tournament isn't faked, the players in it are actual Quake Pro's from the QL pro scene. However, it was a major upset and a pro-level player who was never in the top level in Quake Live was able to steal first place while also putting in a lot less practice than the pro-level players who would win QL tournaments. The game has a lot less depth in it than any of the previous Quake games, if you understand what's going on in high-level Quake Live games, it's really easy to see the loss of complexity going over to QC.


I can confirm it exists, I played the Open Beta.

Does anything really exist user, or is it all just shadows on a tibetan goat weaving forum?

You are the only one I can trust user. These other anons are probably fake along with the steam reviews.

beep
beep
beep

KILL

But user, I am one of them!

I know you're joking user. A fake wouldn't admit it. By the way, I just realised why the steam reviews are so bad: to put people off.

Maybe your double dubs are onto something. But why put people off? That could drive the stock down, and lower the potential pay-off.

Thanks for checking them, I appreciate that. If people tried to play the game then they'd figure out it doesn't actaully exist. So far it's only me and you who've figured it out.

DO NOT TRY TO UNDERSTAND HIS PLAN!

Wait anons let's be serious for a moment, I just had an epiphany. Remember the movie the producers? No well I'll explain. A movie producer, and his accountant are struggling to make living when the accountant makes a startling discovery. Take two movies one is a success, and the other is a flop. The successful movie made a lot of money, but had to pay back all the money to the investors. The flop didn't make much money, but it didn't have to pay back the money loaned because of some loophole. It was possible to actually make more money with a flop than a hit. Maybe this is the plan all along. Maybe you really can make more money with a game that flops, than a game that is a hit.

Saints preserve us. What level is he operating on?

It's actually very impressive how bad he's doing. I think that one very interesting thing about it all is that it's completely invisible to everybody except to Quake Community, so you have this meme developer who is making one of the biggest fuck-ups of 2017 and yet nobody even talks about it. It's a shitshow that has costs that are at the very least two million dollars.

Here is an actual quote from the living meme himself:


archive.is/3rJpS

Are you fucking saying you see a sad panda?

Incredible. And it doesn't even use an idtech engine? What the actual fuck.

How many new class based shooters are there right now? They've all been flops with the exception of Overwatch, right? I'm so confused I can't even keep up with all these battleborn/lawbreaker/whatever games they keep releasing every other month. Are there still some in development?

Remember Gigantic? Remember Paladins?

You got several parts of that wrong.

1. They were producing a play, not a movie.
2. The scam wasn't exploiting a loophole

What the deal was is that they went around getting money from investors, and getting tons of it by promising insane returns. "You'll get 50% of the profit" to 30+ people. Then they make a play so bad it makes almost no money. So 50% ends up being nothing, while the producers walk away with all of the invested money.

Sure you do Todd

Paladins yeah, now that you mention it. Is there more to come? Usually I don't really follow game news but this is just too ridiculous to ignore.

There's also that Epic game, although it's a TPS.

Oh I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

t. i never played doto

I was in the closed beta and used to play the originals pretty hard (I'm 40). The netcode was shit in a game where the netcode is everything. The rest of it was just an insult - ASSFAGGOTS with Unreal Tournament's abilities and Jewish F2P bullshit in /Quake/. I swear they paid off top Q3A people to say they liked it. That whole community is mostly dickriding kids these days and would blindly agree.

You're saying it's a CRAPCUNTS?

Maybe you play a lot and are ranked high, but most of the mid to low level games end up like that. In fact, it usually ends up with a 45 minute and game the biggest retard on your team making a fatal mistake that kills everyone and throws the game.

You're funny, OP. So funny. BATTLERITE IS DOOMED TO FAILLLL
