Quake Champions

Quake is being played and shown off at PAX East, thought I would share some info on characters thus far.

Ranger: Dire Orb- Can be thrown to teleport to, can telefrag.
Visor: Wallhacks
Nyx: Ghost Walk-Can't be interacted with or seen for a limited time, shooting cancels it.
Anarki: Can heal himself and increase his max health at the same time.
Scalebearer: Bull Rush-Can ram into enemies and reduce them to paste, takes less damage while rushing.
Galena: Leaves down a totem that both heals and acts as a mine.
Sorlag: (Rumored but not seen) Can shoot a puddle of acid on the ground that does damage over time.
Clutch: Pulls out a shield that blocks damage.
Slash:Leaves behind a trail that damages enemies caught in it.

Where's hunter, bitterman, Crash and Doomguy? what about the grenade launcher or is the weapon selection going to be smaller for no fucking reason?

Was about to make a thread with webms from videos taken yesterday.

Not mine.

>loot box
I don't want to live in this world anymore.

Best Value!

Looks like some shitty Russian F2P shooter.

>Slash

That's new, do we have screenshot/video of her ?
That's the one I wanted the most after Hunter.

You are breaking my heart.

Accurate

Luckily there's a gamemode with no powers, iirc.

>wow how dare a f2p game add customization!!!!!

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

LITERALLY OVERWATCH

gameplay from instagram or somewhere, someone made it last thread

Even the interface and the way it opens is the exact same as Overwatch.

Jesus christ.

if it's just cosmetic then i don't mind

>2017
>he doesn't grind for quack packs

>If Doom or Quake don't keep the same gameplay or art style, they look like they're taking from other games
>sometimes, they even cannibalize each other
>both went from getting imitated to imitate back

Talk about an identity crisis

...

...

One more thing I forgot to mention.
>You can pay for all champions immediately if you want.
>You can temporarily own characters using favor.
>Favor can also be used to purchase backpacks for skins and other stuff.
>Completing rune challenges obtained from backpacks gives you a reliquary which will give you a skin or a champion.

>Anarki: Can heal himself and increase his max health at the same time.
sounds op as fuck

>Goth cyborg

Nice!

Fuck off. F2P, micro-transactions and video game gambling are all cancer and you know it

it was outsourced to shitty russian devs so that's pretty accurate.

This looks like trash but they need to go back to doing loading screens in games

You can only increase your health by 1 point and it has a 45 second cool down, I'd depend more on the basic heal than the health buff.

slash a cute!

>lootbox cosmetic
>"duplicate"

Will this come to console?

...

I think there's a possibility. I saw a settings screen and they had "Use Ability" bound to F

Man, this is bad, this is really fucking bad. I begin to lose hope. Why would you do this to us, TIm?

Any news on beta dates?

She only need a sexy taunt and it'll be perfect.

INto the trash it goes.

OH YEAH

UH HUH

Mad.

>f2p
why.... why..

Does other players see her flippimg the bird?

>a fully priced game
>with the option to play it with limited features for free

Only on Sup Forums can you people this fucking stupid that turn this around to be bad.

>all free to play games are great
I love corporations! They make me feel good!

Will arenas be a big enough scale to not have some be able to travel the circumference and get behind you in less than a second?

Will new spawns have a chance to fight back or be victims to insane snowballing by experienced players?

Will spawns be varied and hard to memorize?

Will being hit with any weapon throw you across the map (for some reason)?

I know this is going to be very hard but stay with me.

Quake champions is a fully priced game that unlocks every single item in the game when you pay.

If you do not want to pay, you can still play, with limited characters.

I know I'm asking you to think a little bit beyond your implying mindset, but realistically speaking this is a nice business model.

The issue with f2p games is that getting all the content requires large sums of money and it never ends. This is a one time purchase and you get everything. I understand this is a difficult concept, but stay with me.

I'm now mid 30's and I realized some years ago that the real pain of getting older is having to watch the things you love change, decay and die. This for example has happened to every game series I ever loved, which now includes watching Quake turn into Overwatch - taking a beautifully balanced game and making it into an ugly DOTA/FPS hybrid. I can only hope the players will love it and keep it alive long enough for another iteration that just might bring it back to form, but history suggests it will be forgotten in 6 months like most modern multiplayer-only FPS.

fuck off to reddit

Listen I understand thinking a little bitbeyond greentext can be very hard but I'm going to ask you to try. What exactly is wrong with this business model? Can you explain it with words like a big boy? I'm waiting.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

You literally don't get anything about the game, it's fucking Quake 3 with some changes and QW movement for anarki.

Just ignore him, its another retard that doesn't actually play arena shooters pretending to care.

>he disagrees with me so he doesn't actually play arena shooters

I'm 30 and spent thousands of hours on the multiplayer of Quake 1, 2 and 3.
I like everything I've seen about QC and I'm hyped as fuck.

I guess I'm not so old that the smallest of change scares me..

If you've played arena shooters at all in the last 10 years you've seen q3 clones die non stop.

Quake needs something different, and this looks like a good model. None of the crazy shit is even in 1v1 so who fucking cares?

>QW movement for anarki.
explain

lmfao. you retards are clamouring for an overwatch clone of quake. fucking sad. remember to buy lots of loot crates to keep the servers running! hahahahhaa.

How do i hop like that in Quake?

So Quake-themed Overwatch, got it.
When did people start hating skill based games so much? Isn't that the point of a game?

What the fuck you want then bitch? Just another Q3? There is already QL and Reflex. Go play those bitch if you just want Quake to be Quake 3.

This just adds another layer to the game making it more complex and more skillful. Nothing wrong with this.

>some changes

So what ability will Xaero have?

It's Quake Live with hero abilities that you can disable, how is it Overshit? And if you really can't handle that it has elements you can ignore because of autism why not just go play Reflex Arena or Quake Live?

>you've seen q3 clones die non stop.
oh you're that guy who's seen millions of q3 clones and shills diabotical. nice to see you're here!

you can only jump like that in quakeworld. quake 2, 3 and live doesn't have air control.

youtube.com/watch?v=v6jm9iGW2Co

I already do user, I'm just curious as to why people so badly want things which lower the skill ceiling.

Are you all really unable to see the difference between the heroes of OW and the champions of QC or just pretending ?

Why does Quake Champion have this then?

>I don't remember Medkits existing in Quake
Guess what they did
This is literally just that, without the hassle of going a little out of your way to grab a full heal that you will forget to use

>What the fuck you want then bitch? Just another Q3?
That would be great, thanks. Remake Quake 3 with better graphics, proper matchmaking and leveling system, and cosmetic items for the hell of it, and I'll buy it in a second. I don't enjoy lower-skill-ceiling games like Overwatch - you can keep your DOTAFPS shit to yourself, some people actually care about balance, player agency and game mechanics.

Let them buy their crates and run around with their one specific character they chose for its "ability" for the 6 months it takes for them to lose interest and quit. Then the game will slowly die and in a year no one will be playing it except for Quake players hungry for anything resembling the previous titles.

It apparently has air control however, which increases the skill ceiling over Quake Live.

But map control is the defining feature of the genre, contrary to what many people think. Controlling resources is the game. This breaks that.

i think it's character specific for that guy with the hoover board.

>Remake Quake 3 with better graphics, proper matchmaking and leveling system, and cosmetic items for the hell of it, and I'll buy it in a second.

That game would be pretty much dead in a couple of months. No one would play. Why do you want better graphics when you turn it down to ultra low anyway? Why don't you play Reflex if you want Quake with better graphics? You don't because you really don't give a shit about Arena FPS.

...

>not playing cpma/reflex

kys

He is going to be so OP if he's the only one who can strafe jump.

This breaks that in FFA, TDM and basically any mode that isn't Duel where map control doesn't apply.

yeah cpm is the best duel game.

it has nothing on qw tdm though.

Fair enough. I guess I pretty much only think of it as a dueling game. I'll probably check it out when it comes out anyway.

This wasn't meant to say I hate the game so much as wondering why high-skill modes like duel are so unpopular.

p.s. if you play Reflex say hi to maya for me; I haven't been on in a while

Why does everything have a to be a fucking eSport these days.

eSport ruined UT4.

Esport ruined everything.

And I blame Quake because Quake invented esports.

Why would you remake Q3 but make it worse? The original is fine how it is.

CPMA is for gaycunts
Play QW if you want QW

>UT4
>esports
No, retarded devs killed UT4.

>No, retarded devs killed UT4.
Explain. I wasn't following UT4's development this last year.

Someone webm this?

instagram.com/p/BRgR2ruBUEe/?taken-by=timwillits

Muh gurl crouch sliding hngggggg

Retarded devs that wanted to turn UT4 into some kind of Quake competitor esports instead of just focusing on solid content like the previous entries.

is that quake 4 style crouch sliding?

TLDR:
>The Impact Hammer is unintuitive so they removed it
>Link Gun overheats now because spamming isn't allowed
>"Rocket Launcher Grenades added unnecessary complexity and too many gameplay options to the weapon."

Hell, when someone in the community complained about the rocket launcher change one of the devs said that the rocket launcher grenades where "OP but you just don't know it yet"

At this point it just seems like UT4 is simply a tech demo handed over to some interns.

Every character has different stats, including air control. Anarki is said to play like a QW character.

yeah

GL is a shit noob weapon glad they got rid of it

wtf

I hope Quake Live goes on sale once this comes out so I can convince some friends to buy it.

...

But QL is free

Not anymore. It does have things like gore mods and a working workshop though.

>Overwatch a 60$ game
>have microtransactions
>lol it's okay you guys, its' not like someone make you buy them, lol just ignore 'em xD
>Quake Champions a f2p game
>how dare they to impliment microtransactions?! literally overwatch omg im literally shaking
As if you need more evidence blizzdrones are the worst kind of people

What the fuck is the point of bringing back Quake if it has abilities and shit? If I wanted that I'd play Overwatch
