Quake Arena Arcade is a reproduction of that original PC game (later ported to Dreamcast as a sign of SEGA’s early investment in online gaming infrastructure) bought into the modern age of high-definition gaming. The single-player mode, much like that of Epic Games’ Unreal Tournament III, merely acts as a training ground for the online play. With five grades of difficulty and a wealth of varying rule sets, many younger gamers may find it disappointing that there is little in the way of variety in the single-player campaign, including when taking into account that of the ‘boss fights’. Of course, anyone who played Quake III: Arena back in 1999 would expect no different, and is unlikely to be disappointed by the pace of the blasting action available when like-minded friends are absent.
The Quake Franchise has become a name in the gaming industry that demands respect for its accomplishments. However, it's reign of nearly two decades is at an end. The Quake series and iD software cannot compete with today's gaming industry. The lack of playerbase, lack of customer support and player/developer interactions makes the once great game lack the necessary traffic to keep it relevant.

However, it appears that some people wish for a next generation version of iD’s best multiplayer game. Well, we got some bad news as there won’t going to be one anytime soon. When a fan asked for a new Quake 3 game, John Carmack said that it would not happen."
lol you serious? a shooter is a shooter is a shooter! no matter how much a washed up coder thinks its the early 90's
Play counter strike 1.6. You will rage quit then go back to your bullet sponge gaming sessions on ps3 or xbox & enjoy Death Streak Rewards.
since when did battlefield 3 have any streak reward i have a ps3 a 360 and a pretty good pc pending a gtx 680 once one is made available at my local shop cs 1.6 has outdated visuals maybe and may have been fun one day long ago but right now there is so much good stuff right now whats the point
It doesn't matter about visuals. Quake 3 looks terrible now but is one of the best FPS of all time. Console fanboys would not be able to cope with the speed of the old PC Fps's not even mentioning strafe jumping.
the sad thing here is that these statements basically mean that we won't get a new Quake Arena game :/
Question is whether a new Quake game is even necessary.
Aside from visuals, there's not a whole lot that can be changed without 'fan' backlash, so the best thing they can do is keep supporting the classic games, which is what QuakeLive attempts to do.
they should though, make it pc exclusive and able to run on even low end hardware and they will have a huge hit. Quake arena with some updated graphics and flashy new maps would beat the hell out of anything multi platform.
Its sad how far things have gone backwards thanks to the success of halo, call of duty and some of its clones.
Personally, I'd love to see a next-generation version of Quake 3. Same mechanics, upgraded graphics. This is how a next generation Quake 3 would look like ( http://n4g.com/news/871834/... ). But this is not going to happen. Still, it would be really cool
let's hope Epic games pc exclusive is UT4 on UE4. I won't sell like cod on consoles anyway.
This dude seems to only have 360 on his mind. Make it for PS3 and PC cross platform play. It's not like PS3 doesn't have mouse and keybored support. Promblem solved. Oh wait I forgot he's a crappy PS3 dev. If it doesn't easly translate between 360 and PC then he doesn't want anything to do with it.
Making a game for PS3 becuz it supports keyboard and mouse is a stupid reason.
If you make it for PS3 then you'll get the 360 people angry and then the whole mess will get worse.
I clearly said make it for PS3 and PC. I'm not sure if 360 has keyboard support. If it doesn't then there should be no reason from them to complain if its something their console doesnt support. It would be like PS3 people complaining cause COD doesnt have party chat cause there is no cross game chat for PS3 which be equally as stupid.
all i want to know is...Where`s my Doom 4?, so i can take it & go back into my underground bunker & play it & never be seen again til Doom5.
Lol I'll be fragging your ass! >:D
Doom4 will come around and I'll make you run out of your bunker enraged >:D
Lol I might be tired as I type this
XMNR: DLC content for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas are on sale on Xbox LIVE along with Doom II and Quake Arcade Arena.
Just buy GOTY edition for Fallout 3 and TES4.
The horse armor isn't worth it.
I would just wait for Fallout NV, goty( I don't know if NV got and goty award) or w/e edition come out.
That's usually the smart thing to do. Wait for a GOTY edition with all DLC to come out, then buy the pack.
The problem some people have however, is the waiting game.
lol That pic, I remember when that horse armor DLC came out in 2006 good times lol horse armor FTW! = )
What other Fallout:NV packs are worth it besides Old World Blues?
I didn't see any other DLC packs get that much praise.
I loved quake 3 area, I think this arcade version was supposed to be released 2 years ago.
I tried the demo of this, and its sooo similar to the original, I tried multiplayer, set my sensitivity to high, and killed the only other person in the game.
He got so angry he kicked me from the game lol..
I think its great this has finally made it to arcade, but I think its too late. The game is obviously dated, giving the host of the game the ability to kick anyone is annoying.
For anyone who loved the original its a great buy, but Im not sure if its worth it these days.
Hopefully the make an actual new version of quake, which is similar to arena in terms of multiplayer.
