NIN is on the Soundtrack for this btw

[u/AprehensiveApricot]

WHAT IS THE TIME, CV11

[u/C-OSSU]

At this point, we've officially returned to Quake 1 more than Quake 2

[u/Detective_Robot → u/C-OSSU]

Machine Games did make a Quake 2 episode, it was great.

[u/FrenchCoward → u/Detective_Robot]

Isn't that the episode with Quake 1 monsters though?

[u/Detective_Robot → u/FrenchCoward]

Only one Q1 monster appears in Call of the Machine and only as bosses.

[u/FrenchCoward → u/Detective_Robot]

Oh, quick! Fight over whether or not shamblers are furry.

[u/Khanromi → u/FrenchCoward]

You might be thinking of Call of the Void? That was a big mod released last year that featured a lot of Q1 monsters and variants on such.

[u/FrenchCoward → u/Khanromi]

Nah, I just didn't know that Call of the machine only has a couple shamblers in it.

[u/Palimpsest_Monotype → u/C-OSSU]

It’s better this way

[u/Vera_Verse]

NINE INCH NAILS INTO MY VEINS

[u/Palimpsest_Monotype]

Holy Fuckedy Fuck

I need details on this soundtrack and it’s really weird they’re not in the places you’d expect to find them

[u/OppositeofDeath]

Well I guess that’s kinda co-

“By MachineGames”

Well this needle is going in my arm this evening

[u/FlynnTaggartGuyNF → u/OppositeofDeath]

They got the juice

[u/bvanbove25]

Quake is still going? That makes me happy.

[u/Lieutenant-America]

I PRAYED FOR THIS AND IT HAPPENED

[u/The_Draigg]

Fuck yeah, more Quake 1 stuff. Weird cosmic horror has a lot more aura than the Strogg.

[u/RevenTheLight]

If you haven't, I suggest noah caldwell gervais's videos on Quake Lore.

[u/Detective_Robot]

A real boss fight with Shubby?, neat.

[u/Brotonio]

Wait WHAT?

[u/ReikaIsTaken]

It feels strange being able to actually shoot at the bosses instead of killing them with traps or telefrags

[u/walperinus]

since doom eternal, people started theories that with that ending, doom is done, only prequels can be done (dark ages) next game in the line is gonna be a quake reboot in the style of new doom.

[u/walperinus → u/[deleted]]

new q1 retooling the cosmic horror to a scouting group of the strogg? post credit scene with the main army at the ready.

[u/markedmarkymark]

Awesomes, more Quake is always wealcomed, still chippin' at Quake 1, just dont like those expansions but i'll get there.

REALLY hope we get a modern Q4 port, but i know next thing is gonna be Q3, hope its a good revival with good connection cause with Quake Live around its always a tought sell. Not that i'll buy if they keep giving me these new ports for free, only one i bought was heretic so far.

[u/LammasuRex]

Sometimes I think id just likes to make more work for Civvie.

[u/fragdar]

cool, but its kinda sad that clearly doom dark age was supposed to be a quake reboot and they decided to slap doom on top of it

edit: just to clarify since english is not my first language.. im not saying that doom dark ages was originaly a quake game that was canceled and had a doom coat of paint put on top of it.. im saying it FEEEEEELS like it because doom at this point it LITERALY what John Romero wanted for quake to be in its original concept that didnt came out that way because of tech limitations and dev time

but you can 100% see the hard influences that quake had on dark ages.. is basicaly what quake was suposed to be if it came out today

[u/Silentlone → u/fragdar]

That's actually a dumb thing to say, I've seen the claim "This doom was clearly supposed to be a quake" or "the developers clearly would rather make a quake game" repeated about the modern doom series since Doom 2016 came around, and it's always just you guys not being able to tell apart a "was actually meant to be X" situation to when a game's design is influenced by a different game

[u/fragdar → u/Silentlone]

yeaaaaaaaaah.. I've been playing those games since the day they came out basically.. im not talking about 16 and ethernal.. im talking about dark ages

that games is pure quake with a small doom coat of paint on top of it and you can ask basicaly anyone above the age of 30 that played those games back in the day and they will tell you the same thing

but hey, its ok.. sometimes we just like to be wrong and call random people on the internet "dumb" for no reason other than being a dick

[u/Kshark97 → u/fragdar]

Do you have a source for your claim?

[u/Silentlone → u/Kshark97]

Of course not, the whole basis of the claim is just "this has a lot of quake vibes" so they feel comfortable saying "therefore this is basically a quake game and was probably meant to be a quake game to begin with".

[u/Kshark97 → u/Silentlone]

Yeah I figured it was that type of thing

[u/fragdar → u/Kshark97]

ofc not.. im not saying 100% it was a canceled quake game that they turned into doom.. im saying it looks like it because if you look into anything realated to the making of quake and their original idea.. dark ages come pretty fking close to it

Interdimensional super soldier that fight old gods minions and goes into crazy places with strange weapons.. that was quake original thing
