IGN writes: "Enemy Territory: Quake Wars first launched on the PC back in October of 2007 to solid critical reviews and fan support. Now it's time for the id Software franchise to come home to Xbox 360 and PS3, nearly eight months since first landing on store shelves. While multiplayer FPS fans are undoubtedly hoping for an extra coat of paint and added features to what will hopefully be a solid addition to the stable of online shooters, what they'll actually find is far less exciting."
BLG writes, "Alongside the Wolfenstein and DOOM franchises, there are the Quake games. Known for fast-paced and insane multiplayer deathmatch action, there was a time Quake was best known for its single-player design.
That all changed as time passed (i.e., after Quake 3 Arena). Multiplayer deathmatches were never the same.
As other FPS games leaned more into improved narrative and storytelling, id Software delivered a genre-defining multiplayer experience.
Quake 3, and the iterations, will always be one of the best multiplayer series releases.
As far as campaigns, I think 1 and 4 are great, but that 2 was garbage.
Quake Champions was a joke on and didn't capitalize on much of anything that made the series great.

MadOverdose.com writes: Quake. A name synonymous with gamers and truly an important part of gaming history that alongside Unreal Tournament, helped develop competitive online multiplayer into the juggernaut that we know it as today. Of course, online gaming has grown substantially since the games original release and now spans a multitude of different genres. But this article is just going to focus on the series that bought it to the mainstream audience. Developed by id Software and released June 22nd 1996, Quake would spawn a legacy of games that would forever change the way we think about online gaming. But where is it now?
Quake......2 took up LOADS of my time when i was a teenager, it was the first online game i played, the memories
'Believe it or not, Quake was originally conceived as an RPG, focusing on melee combat and set in the medieval ages'
Yes I can completely imagine that. I can't remember the first 2 games too well but Quake 3 definitely has a medieval feel with its huge open symmetrical courts leading off to maze-like smaller passages and antechambers. One level features twin moats in to a small castle. There's at least one very futuristic level but the game definitely appears inspired by medieval times as well which, I feel , adds to its mysteriously brutal atmosphere.
I wish iD would make a true Quake game. If successful, it could become a multiplayer king this gen
The first Quake set the bar as far as fps games could go at the time. And the shambler was scary as f**k.
Than the PlayStation 3 version, no surprise there. ;)
Especially after seeing the gameplay videos. This game has last gen written all over it. Games are just way to expensive for us to be dishing out 60 dollars for "passable" or "mediocre" last gen games.
bitter ps3 fans ..
PS3 pay more..get less :)
There is a trend for crappy games being better on 360 and AAA games being better on PS3, as is the case with Burnout, GTA4, Call of Duty 4, Devil May Cry 4, etcetera. So yeah, more games look better on 360, because most games are crap anyway.
HA HA HA! This crappy game is less crappy on the 360 so take that!
(rolls eyes)
Still scoring better than Haze though.
