We Almost Had Quake On Game Boy Advance

DualShockers Writes "It’s no exaggeration to call Quake absolutely foundational to modern gaming, alongside the likes of Mario 64. That’s part of what drives people to bring the game to any hardware capable of 3D rendering. As we established with Asterix & Obelix, the Game Boy Advance could render polygons, but it took seriously clever coding to achieve such a feat."

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

Why even make the acquisition then.

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.

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.

“Bond adds that they will start on the web”

Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.

The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.

The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.

Good luck with this even it might not succeed.
