![]() This is also where I learned about spawn camping for the first time and how much I hated it. Turns out, I was pretty dang good at FFA deathmatches and found myself rocket jumping my way to several victories quite fast. But I was the “poor kid” of the group and my Compaq 486 was severely outdated by the time PC gaming was really chugging along, so those parties were my only chance to play some of the most iconic titles of the time, including Quake. I grew up around a lot of nerdy folks and LAN parties were a pretty common occurrence. Quake - Blake Morse, First name rhymes with “Quake” Until then, I still think Diabotical is the best and most fun variant of a proper modern Quake game in this day and age. If Microsoft or Bethesda acquired GD Studio at some point and gave them the greenlight to make a proper Quake game, I would very much be on board from Day One. Even then, Diabotical was built from the ground up to resemble Quake 3’s gameplay. If you’re going to twist my arm, I think Quake 3: Arena is still one of my favorites in all of these regards. Its fast, crisp, clean-looking, and doesn’t take weird workarounds to get together with your friends and play. Diabotical features the gameplay and versatility I would want a new Quake game to have. Heck, Quake Champions has sucked so much that it pushed developers to design something better. Unfortunately, the only options from Bethesda right now are the re-release of the original Quake, which is fun but still dated, and Quake Champions, which sucks. They are very good (not Quake Champions), but I don’t like how annoying it is to make some of them work on modern hardware or how dated some of them are. So if I have to pick a Quake, I'm going to stand by the original recipe, for whenever I want to make an opponent extra crispy.ĭiabotical - TJ Denzer, Senior News Editor More importantly, I've come to appreciate the history and what it's contributed to gaming, which is something I was able to witness firsthand through endeavors like The Great Quakeholio tournament. However, I've had a lot of fun playing the original game over the past few years, especially with the Shacknews staff. I haven't played a lot of Quake, which is a heresy around these parts.
