It was confusing due to my lack of knowledge of the game, like items, map, weapon effect, game mechanics (like why did someone's hp and armor keep ticking down by 1) | ||

I remember watching Unreal Tournament 2003/2004 was some of the most fun I've had spectating a video game. I don't know where you are coming from saying 1v1 FPS aren't fun to watch. | ||

But Quake is a gift from above, and deserves to be compared only with other heavenly gifts, of which, sadly, TF2 is not. | ||

I played god only knows how much hours of Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat and other assorted FPS games. But at the end of the day, Deathmatch is the only thing remotely quick enough to be fun anymore. It's the only thing that brings me a thrill. Quake is not dead. I agree that the graphics DO affect my enjoyment of it, but if a new Deathmatch game came out, I would be all over it. I played UT3 for a while; it's just a shame no one else did, but it was a ton of fun. | ||

Please stop with these Broodwar shows, Broodwar mixed tournaments its just sad to see. Sometimes you have to walk away from the dead horse and not try to ride it for the next 5 years. Just a personal blog, I just think it's silly to imagine a 1v1 Broodwar RTS taking off anytime soon. BW died (ignore the SC2 crapfest) a long time ago and you dont see random people running teams + (insert popular game / event) here events so people can watch and say "wow that old graphically horrible looking game looks like it was interesting 10 years ago, now when will day9 tell me to do the fusion core dance and shout excitedly to entertain me?" + Show Spoiler + Pretty hurtful yo | ||

Graphics is perfect as it is. Visibility is the key in a fast game like this. No better fps to play and constantly get better at as possibilities are endless. At the same time its hard to get new players as people have been playing for years and years.. | ||

Quake can be altered and reinvented for a new generation in similar fashion to SC2. It might require slight "dumbing down" but in the end it would be for the best. Graphics can be improved without hurting gameplay, weapons can be modified/added, movement tricks could be added as well and of course things like a dedicated ladder and proper matchmaking system are a must. There is a huge deathmatch/1v1 FPS community in hibernation right now just waiting for the next game. Some of the most successful and popular PC games of all time have been from the Quake and Unreal series. Just like how the competitive RTS scene (BW and WC3) was dead outside of Korea during the mid 2000s (WCG was the only real tourmanent) the 1v1 FPS scene is "dead" now. That doesn't mean a Quake 5 couldn't come in and blow the scene up just like SC2 did. Problem here is id Software isn't Blizzard, and I don't know if they have it in them to make another revolutionary multiplayer game. The next big deathmatch game will probably come out of nowhere from an unexpected developer. | ||

Im kinda skeptical deathmatch games can make a big return or that it would be slowed down and dumbed down too much to make them playable on consoles. (halo?) Or that it wouldn't have all the customization possibilities of quake or strafe jumping and movement everybody likes. But anyways I thing people playing quake would still play quake 3 / ql. Quake 4 came out and nobody cared, UT3 came out and nobody cared. There are many dm games and variations like warsow, nexius, alien arena and many more but none of them are played much. I hope there will be a change in the future that people start coming back from 'realistic' fps to dm but I dont know if it will ever happen. | ||

sincerely, 2004 truth is, there's a huge opening for a good dm game (or any good fast paced pc shooter really). i look forward to it happening. | ||
