Scorpio and Neo won’t save Quake Champions on consoles, says id Software

In an interview with Tim Willits, creative-director of Quake Champions, we were told hardware is not the reason why the game is not coming to Xbox or PlayStation.

Damn, that's a harsh blow. Doom just smashed it on consoles - so why no love id?

Lon3wolf2842d ago (Edited 2841d ago )

From the sounds of it they reckon the speed of the game will not be controller friendly.

Lol getting negged for quoting the article:

True, but [this decision] is not about the hardware. It’s about how hard it is to play this type of game with a controller.

InTheZoneAC2842d ago

seeing how nubs in Cod play on controller sensitiviy 10 anyway, not that they're any good, I don't see this being a valid excuse.

Gitgud2841d ago (Edited 2841d ago )

@InTheZone I played 14 sensitivity in COD BO3, and I'm great. You're right though, it's a bullshit excuse.

NapalmSanctuary2841d ago

The simple solution is to make the console version compatible with a mouse and keyboard.

FlameBaitGod2841d ago (Edited 2841d ago )

and it is true, console fanboys are always in denial and think controller is just as good at m/k when it isn't even if you play in 100 sense.... and doom is a joke compared to quakes speed btw.... oh and who ever said cod.... LULZ!

Keyboard, mouse, bigger FOV, and high frame rates help a lot in FPS games. Consoles are too restrictive to allow for any of these.

zerocarnage2842d ago

Keyboard mouse support is not far away on Xbox.

TIER1xWOLFPACKx2842d ago

Keyboard and mouse is supported already on ps4, and with NEO and Scorpio bringing higher specs they can put in a wider fov and achieve higher frame rates

Nitrowolf22841d ago

The issue isn't whether or not the console supports it, the issue is that it's not a standard with consoles whereas it is with pc. How many people play with m&k on console compared to controllers? Obviously not many.

NohansenBoy2841d ago

I wonder how many disagrees I can get on this site.

joeorc2841d ago

It's all up to developers if "they want" the key point is the standard controller option is Bluetooth game pad, but since standard USB keyboard and mouse works...Developers would have to add it in..

Corpser2841d ago

Yeah they can't make a game require k/b, console makers won't allow it. People are going to use controllers and complain

The best jokes are those that almost nobody understood ;-)

zerocarnage2842d ago

Devs I think who Sony won't get there titles on the neo and Scorpio, Honestly I can't imagine what idiotic kind of backwards thinking that is.

Not only is it an untapped x amount of millions of users for any older titles still going or any new titles about to be released, but the amount of revenue that despite possibly older games becoming stale for users on pc to console players there like new games period.

We are already seeing a good amount of devs putting in the work because they realise the above from what I said and that's great, but I just can't understand the ones who don't, especially when mouse and keyboard support is now months away for Xbox, don't know how song are handling that bit.

But you see devs need to change and stop with this no console approach and alienating consoles to a degree your pushing away a good many millions of possible owners of your title and a good many possible in game purchase payers.

I know what I would be doing if I was a dev on pc and that's get the work done and get the team's developed titles on console asap.

s45gr322841d ago

I do should point out that game developers need to stop releasing half ass PC ports or handicapping games due to being released on consoles. Is just a proven fact that console gamers (MAJORITY not all) do not like complex games; hence, no rts, mmo, or simulation games on consoles. I also want to point out that is up to PC devs to release their games on console or not

SlappingOysters2842d ago

I thought you could play consoles with a mouse and keyboard if you wanted to anyway?

Nitrowolf22841d ago

Yea but they aren't gonna make a game that forces people on a platform to use that type of control.

PC Gamers play with m&k majority of the time, where as with consoles it's a very small minority

Surt2842d ago (Edited 2841d ago )

I don't mind. I just upgraded my rig, so I will be getting quake. Doom did what I told those it would do. Even with people bitching of the "compromise" that it had to do. It has started to peek interest in something that was long dead. And that's awesome.

Besides let the "pc master race" get a exclusive. So far they only get shit MOBA and grindfest MMO's.

s45gr322841d ago

No rts ❤ :

Xcom 2
Stellaris
Offworld trading company
Total War Warhammer

No mention of simulator exclusive games like American Truck

No mention of exclusive games like death smiles or Lethe One.

PC gaming home to platformers like cave story, retro jrpgs, and lots and lots of shmup games. ....

Avowed Moved to Unreal Engine 5.3

With Support from The Coalition

Read Full Story >>
gamingbolt.com
ThinkThink14h ago

That's great news. Hopefully the Coalition can smooth some of those edges from the last Avowed reveal.

phoenixwing11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you. I was ok with it and hoping to actually play it sometime soon. Now it's like 99% chance it's delayed.
Edit: effing graphics whores

Obscure_Observer2h ago

"Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you."

What the hell are you talking about dude? Avowed was already in development using the UE5. The Coalition is just helping Obsidian in the transition to its latest version (5.3)

MrBaskerville1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Probably not even that big of a difference. Coalition might only have helped because they got a deadline to meet.

Unreal isn't nearly as bad as Unity when you update a project. Though it obviously depends on the project. But unity generally gets an aneyurism if you threaten to update, where Ue is usually less stingy.

Reaper22_1h ago

In excited for Avowed and Gears 6.

Fishy Fingers2h ago

It already was Unreal 5, its just moving to the latest build.

Lightning7710h ago

Apparently the latest build looks way better graphically. This rumor from Jez Cordin (who's credible) pretty much confirms it.

Interested in seeing more on Avowed in a few weeks.

Notellin1h ago

UE 5.3 has been out since September of last year. I can't believe this is news or that anyone is hyping this up.

MrNinosan1h ago

As Hellblade failed to set the world on fire, just like Halo Infinite and Starfield before it, it's time to look forward to the next Game of the Decade candidate.
Of course it needs to be hyped up ahead of time 😏

truthBombs1h ago

I liked the games unique artstyle when It was revealed. I hope they're not making the migration based on criticism. It's only a rumor anyways

MrBaskerville1h ago

I imagine the art style will stay the same. But there'll probably be some visual upgrades here and there.

anast47m ago

This was the only game I was jealous of, but It's a wait and see game now. Plus, I can wait until they release it on PSN.

Steam Account Transfer Via Will on Death is Not Permitted, Valve Confirms

In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.

anast20h ago

The games are theirs. People just pay to ride the ride.

Skuletor3h ago

Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway

Kornholic3h ago

This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.

So where is the outcry?

Skuletor3h ago

It's not like PlayStation is doing any different.

"You may not sell, buy, trade, or transfer your Online ID, Account or any personal access to PSN Services through any means or method, including by use of web sites."

NotoriousWhiz2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

It's not like your account just stops working when you die. Include your email, account id, and password in the will (including the password to your email) and your survivors should have no problem using your games.

anast35m ago

PC gamers are a different lot. They don't mind renting their games forever, they don't mind spending money on overpriced equipment, and they don't mind fiddling with settings for hours before they even play the game, but linking a PSN account demands a riot. This is hard to understand, but then again, we all have to draw our lines somewhere.

Skuletor15m ago

You sure talk a lot of nonsense.Go look up the percentage of digital sales compared to physical sales of PS5 games, then tell me again about "renting" games.

thorstein2h ago

So just give your progeny the passwords.

OtterX1h ago

Keep the password sealed in the Will, only to be opened after death. :)

CDPR say Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3: "We don't want to be stuck in the same spot"

The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.

Terry_B17h ago

Each of the 3 existing Witcher games is pretty different from each other..

just_looken3h ago

They were different because they went from being a port studio with there last port being the god awful saints row 2 pc port to making the witcher one.

The first witcher was there first actual game with there own engine the 3rd one showed there years of experience/in house engine improvements.

This witcher game has very very few of the original people behind it and its using unreal engine like so many other games.

The big elephant in the room is that they are now proudly esg supports and go to a panel of esg reps to approve there games now.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The is cdpr 2020's not the 2010's cdpr we used to know.

https://www.gamesradar.com/...

Take the blood/sex/nudity/adult humor/combat system/rpg mechanics/writing/story charecters/art/design and there passion/drive from the first 3 games throw it in the fucking trash there now you got what they have right now for the witcher 4.

New engine new writing team new everything even esg leadership so yeah "Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3"

Sonic18812h ago(Edited 2h ago)

This doesn't sound good without the original team

Kaii17h ago

My only issue with 3 was with the combat

bRuud835h ago

Combat was never the strongest part of the series.

just_looken3h ago

True but anyone that thinks witcher 3 2.0 combat is bad would never get past the first section of witcher one.

Profchaos5h ago

I felt 3 was ok took a long for it to click but I tried 2 and I found combat controls to be my biggest barrier to actually enjoying it was about 50 times clunkier than 3

thorstein3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

I thought the weakest point was the copious amount of dialog. Sometimes less is more. I remember clicking through just to get to the objective.

outsider16243h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Compared to W1, W3 feels like a masterpiece in combat..lol.

Nacho_Z1h ago

I loved it despite the combat so if they can get that right it'll be an incredible game. The other thing I wasn't fond of was being deluged with loot, quality over quantity for me.

sagapo59m ago

Can someone tell me what they didn’t like about the combat? Was it the pace or something? Because I didn’t have any problem with the combat once I realized it wasn’t a button mashing type of combat…
I honestly like to know.

Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.

Hugodastrevas6h ago

This can either go very well or very badly. I hope the latter.

That is on your mobile device they copied pokemon go few years back
