Why are people calling the new Quake an Overwatch rip-off when Overwatch is just a TF2 rip-off (Team Fortress was originally a Quake mod). Overwatch didn't invent abilities either.

Quake Champions isn't even going to be a class-based shooter in the sense that all the champions use the same weapons, there's no dedicated healer class or anything like that.

Are people just shitting on Quake because they know it will be too hard for them and they want to stick to Overwatch? Not everybody wants to play an FPS where most of the heroes don't even require any FPS skill.

People also forget that Junkrat is literally The Joker + bombs.

What IS the new Quake gonna be? I'm guessing it will have little to do with Arena.

>Why are people calling the new Quake an Overwatch rip-off
Because it is and it's just trying to ride off of its success like Paladins/Battleborn are

>Overwatch is just a TF2 rip-off (Team Fortress was originally a Quake mod)
So the devs are ripping off a game that is ripping of another game that was originally a quake mod that the quake devs didn't make so this automatically means TF2 is rightfully Bethesda's and Overwatch is therefore ripping them off?

here's your (you)

It's literally Quake 3 with abilities

quakechampions.com was registered before Overwatch was announced

But see, that's already not quake 3.
I don't know how much the abilities will affect anything, and maybe they will be a good progression for the series (thought i'm not really counting on it), but that's changing the core gameplay already.

I'm hoping it will be fun at least, even if it's not a good Quake.

keep playing Quake Live then

Same reason why idiot Blizzard fanboys call games like FFXIV WoWclones along with just about any other new MMO that uses hotkey and tab target combat.

>But see, that's already not quake 3.
literally every quake 3 clone is dead how fucking stupid are you to keep asking for one

I'm not
I'm saying it's just different from the previous material and make it seem like it might just be an attempt to cash in whatever is left of the name instead of creating a new IP

Quake, a game that previously was nothing more than an arena based shooter with no difference between characters except the weapon they were using.

Yes, Team Fortress Classic was indeed a mod of Quake, not a rip off.

Team Fortress 2, like Classic, was a Class Based FPS.

While some Heroes in Overwatch use similar weapons and abilities (I'm looking at you Junkrat) but it is no different from Team Fortress 2 making weapons inspired by that game because Classic was literally the same game as Quake.

While the "Heroes" in Overwatch are not the first to have ability based combat, but niether Team Fortress 2 not Quake did this (Though, now Quake is). I understand that by having characters instead of classes makes it seem like a MOBA (it's not, don't ever say that again) but because of Team Fortress 2's mercenaries are basically just having 9 heroes to choose from.

With such a plethora of characters to choose from to fit your play style or learn because you like their character.

Lastly, if you think that every character is "easy to play" yeah, they are, but using each of your abilities to their full potential you can use your kit to save teamates, and properly wreck the opposing team. Simple to pick up, challenging to master.

Kinda like Quake 2 and 3 then

Yup, pretty much.
But just like 3, as long as the game is good, I don't care much. Unless they change it a lot, and i mean A LOT

don't forget Quake 4

delet this

Does anybody on Sup Forums even play Quake?

I play Quake Live sometimes

Quake 1 is 20 years old, a good chunk of the naysayers were either not born or under 5 when team fortress was invented.

the hero system will pull in new blood and run them through the gauntlet with old school players,those that can deal with it will stay others will simply wash out and go back to CoD or overwatch etc, as its free more people will at least try it, recent Cods , titanfall etc have been turning up their speeds with jetpacks, wallrunning etc etc, even Overwatch can get hectic with Genji,Tracer now is a great time for an arena shooter because the leap from other games isnt as far anymore.

cam footage from whatever convention looks like Quake 3 with some abilities, besides pros will play with no abilities anyway.

I didnt read all this but TFC is not literally the same as quake or quake fortress.

THIS
>stop being fucking retards and fuck off with this boring game.

retard alert. typical Sup Forumsirgin angst

the new quake ip existed before gay ass faggotwatch

BTFO

when was that? and wasn't overwatch's codename was titan or someshit? i remember hearing about blizzards super secret project back in like 2006, like if they were working on a new MMO but it was overshit

Titan got cancelled and turned into Overwatch when they realized making another WoW wouldn't be as successful.

I lot of characters in Overwatch were originally NPCs in Titan.

proofs?
just curious

Is quake on console?

Yeah it's on the Sega Saturn

lol

I believe they mention it in the Youtube videos The Story of Overwatch: The Fall of Titan. It's 3 videos.

Not sure which one, but here's the first.

It will fail hard. People are not interested in arena shooters as all the failed projects prove and the Quake name won't pull that much people.

It's too much of a high skill game for casuals and one ability won't change that.

>The Joker + bombs

So... just The Joker?

All games are just ripoffs of Pong.

Other arena shooters suck compared to Quake though, this will also have more marketing etc

neat thanks

What I imagine is that it will sell pretty good on release (like every marketed shit on steam, literally any big name) but die fast.
It really is a multiplayer playstyle that died and it won't come back to the same popularity, as I said casual players won't like the quake skill level and will get bored of it fast.

I've already achieved Global Elite in CS:GO and Grandmaster in OW.

I can't wait for this to release.

FYI, I get rekt really badly in Quake Live so I am aware Quake is a bit different than the aforementioned shooters.

is bitterman in yet?

>sell
It's F2P.

Gonna be filled with lots of huehue hackers.

You can turn off all the ability shit.

bump

It will be the first Quake with proper matchmaking, noobs won't get stomped into quitting

nobody will

Quake Live features a Loadout system but nobody uses it.
