will you play Quake Champions beta???

Chiming in, it's pretty much a given that a keyboard/mouse will give you better results in an FPS, if only through the increased accuracy (and to an extent, mobility). That said, I don't see why Quake Arena couldn't be ported to console. You wouldn't have to change the core gameplay, and it's not like an RTS, where you'd actively have to remove features (e.g. hotkeys) in the process to fit a controller.

As for the OP's question, I wouldn't mind, but my PC doesn't have the specs for it.

"The most important mechanics"?

It's still a first person arena shooter, the weapons work the same way, you still have to aim and do the same things you do in the pc version.

And the frame rate is still a stable 144hz.

Lul.

Wow.
I really AM talking with a PC Master Race!

Yeah as the thread went on I managed to pinpoint what was my beef with that game.

Doesnt that thread directly contradict your mantra of just letting everyone enjoy what they want to enjoy?[/quote]


Uhu, why?

On a serious note, just pointing out that high frame rate is realllly important for Quake and consoles aren't particularly good a holding even a stable 60. You could make it look like trash so it runs better but does Bethesda really want to sell a game with terribad graphics? Again, this is something the developers themselves have said, so unless you want to push Bethesda into the PC master race too - don't, I like having this one to my myself - you're not making much sense.

Eh, developers say a lot of things.

The same developers who claim "this game couldn't have happened anywhere else but on console/PC/tablet!" can simply come back a few months later and say "we've ported this game also on console/PC/tablet with even more features!".

I was moderately hyped as it looked like my kind of game.
Then I saw it was a "PC only" circlejerk.

Really fast paced twitch shooters doesn't work that well on consoles.

Tell that to how much I'm playing Drawn To Death.

No, it works just great on consoles, but there's been this weird marketing decision of turning both classic multiplayer ID games (Unreal Tournament and Quake Arena) into PC exclusives.

I mean, the game would WORK on consoles but it'd be pretty terrible. FPS games on consoles are already pretty bad, let alone FPS games that require a lot of precision and reflexes. Which is why I think games like CS and Quake would never make it far on consoles.

Not sure. Quake III Arena is one of the few multiplayer FPS that I have ever truly enjoyed; but I played it with work colleges in after-work LAN parties at the office.

EDIT: Damn that spamming Necromancer above me!
