Quake Rated For Next-Gen Consoles, Nintendo Switch, and PC

A new version of “Quake” (pointing to remaster) has been rated for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and the Xbox Series consoles just before Quakecon 2021.

DJStotty1000d ago (Edited 1000d ago )

Yes!!! i knew Quake was due a revisit soon, i hope it is not just a remaster though, i want a brand new Quake.

6pm UK time tonight!!! that is my next 3 days mapped out :p

Fntastic999d ago

Indeed. Quake / Return to Castle Wolfenstein / Soldier of Fortune series, brings back great PC gaming memories, hope it has amazing graphics.

DJStotty999d ago

Ahhhh soldier of fortune, what a game!!! I need to get my pc upto scratch, so many games I am missing out on at the mo.

RaidenBlack999d ago

Quake 1, RTCW and SOF 2 were damn good.
Their sequels (Quake 2, Wolfenstein [2009] and SOF Payback) were/are very generic.

NeoGamer232999d ago

They updated the article to say Quake is on the MS Store for $9.99. Nice a pure remaster.

But what I really want is a remake or reboot!

NeoGamer232999d ago (Edited 999d ago )

Actually I see it is on GamePass today.

Looks like Quake II and Quake III Arena are also coming as their remasters are already on PC!

-Foxtrot1000d ago

I thought this would only be for Xbox / PC being id Software / Bethesda

RaidenBlack1000d ago

I'm guessing this has been in the works for a while and they are just meeting contractual requirements.

DJStotty999d ago

I didn't, like I have said previously, expect most zenimax games to be multiplatform, regardless of who owns them. Microsoft will just make more profit by having the games on the PlayStation and Switch.

Lightning77999d ago

They were clear that it was a case by case basis. So Remasters, legacy titles etc.

Double_O_Revan999d ago

I don't think an old game like Quake is a game they need to keep to close to the chest to try and draw people in. Better to just open the flood gates for profit sake.

DJStotty999d ago (Edited 999d ago )

This is a precursor for a new Quake, get everyone into the series again, and BAM!!!!! new quake trailer.

And oh, a new quake would still be multiplatform, as will Doom, ES6, Fallout.

Why else would there be talk of Quake "harnessing the power of the PS5"? i seriously doubt the Quake remaster is harnessing even 5% of the power of the new consoles.

Father__Merrin1000d ago

Quake champions will be nice with full cross play. And a new single player Quake game 20h +

Fntastic1000d ago

PC will be best place for this.
Really hope it's not a scaled down slop job and has high end visuals.

justadelusion999d ago

id rather them leave my beloved quake series alone. q2ctf was my main thing tho never quake 1.

What a great Month!

HB 2!
LoF and Hunti are all on my list!

thesoftware7301h ago

So I don't think those 3 games make it a great month?

Thanks for telling me.

romulus2323h ago

Just recently finished playing Immortals of Aveum on PSplus extra, can definitely recommend it to those who like fps magic wielding type games, it's really good.

Elda22h ago

I own & played Immortals Of Aveum & Lords Of The Fallen already. The only game on that list I'm going to try is Hellblade 2.

H921h ago

Chants Of Sennaar is a favorite of mine, if you like to figure things out as you go, literally decipher what the hell is going on, play it it's amazing

Microsoft's Absurd Antics Have Me Scared For Dishonored And Arkane Lyon's Future

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Relientk771d 16h ago

I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.

JEECE1d 13h ago

I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.

thesoftware7301d 13h ago

Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄

Skuletor1d 10h ago

Just merge them all into a single studio, have it churn out a single Call of Duty every year and call it a day, lol.

Barlos1d 9h ago

Don't be scared, you'll be fine.

Skuletor1d 9h ago

It's exputer, fine is one word I would not associate with them.

Profchaos1d 9h ago

I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige

/S it's beyond a joke right now

Xbox No Longer Has Its Head In The Game

Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.

XiNatsuDragnel4d ago

They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move

PapaBop3d ago

Ever since that cringe Kinect reveal they've never been the same. They used to make some amazing games and do great deals with third parties Early on in the 360 era they had games like Chromehounds and Shadowrun, both well ahead of their time. Now instead of nurturing their studios, they'd rather gaslight gamers and throw billions on pre existing studios. Not sure how Spencer is still in a job, I wouldn't trust him to organise a piss-up in a brewery.

Father__Merrin3d ago

We've said all along Spencer needs to go. I wish xbox went back to xbox only with new gears fable forza halo releases lots of third party releases

Those early rainbow 6 Vegas days and phantasy star universe are gone forever

S2Killinit3d ago

MS has its head in the game but the game they are playing is something different from what console gamers expect from a platform. MS’s end game has always been to use the xbox as a trojan horse.

XiNatsuDragnel2d ago

Lol that's funny well this plan they have isn't working homie

“Acquisitions always come with cuts”

343 trillion points shield activated
343 trillion percent damage negate activated
All damage reduced to 1 for 343 trillion turns.
MICROSOFT DEFENSE FORCE IS A GO

Tacoboto3d ago

Especially for Microsoft, when Booty pretty much said they didn't know how to handle that many studios.

Why even make the acquisition then.

-Foxtrot3d ago

Didn’t they make the swipe for Bethesda when Sony wanted like 6 months exclusiveness for Starfield

It’s like…chill, you got Rise of the Tomb Raider for a year.

romulus233d ago

Do they always come with senseless cuts becasue that's exactly what cutting Tango was, senseless.

H93d ago

Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long

Nuclearmoon3d ago

I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.

UltimateOwnage3d ago

Steam / Valve are one of the few truly pro-consumer bright spots in gaming right now. Thankfully.

Jingsing2d ago

From all the money Valve make from Steam they reinvest almost 0 into creating new AAA titles for the PC platform, Absolutely no giving nothing back in that regard. Wake up.

“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”

1 hour later.

“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
