Man, am I the only one that actually likes the Strogg? I know Quake 4 was kind of shit, but Quake 2 was pretty fun!
The original Quake is fine and it obviously plays really well but I was never a big fan of its aesthetic.

Nothing wrong with a bit of variety. They've been doing nothing but shooters for decades now. Would be interesting to see what they come up with.
I originally voted for another Doom but then I got to thinking and realized that there will probably be nothing else to accomplish in that universe after Eternal launches and its DLC is released. I would like to see something completely new after Eternal due to the fact that Eternal will probably be the peak of modern FPS design.
So glad to see the Quake 1 love in this thread.
I don't want a remake per se, but the tone/vibes of the OG Quake is so fucken cool and every Quake after the first was missing it.
We need more grim goth Quake vibes with a fresh coat of paint. Also, fucken NAIL GUN yo!

That means we're basically getting a spiritual sequel to Doom 3 next :p.
New IP. Quake Champions is still out there (barely?). I want to see what those unhinged devs can make without the bindings of a established series.
But if Doom3 is just a remale of Doom1, would the third doom in the modern series just be Doom 2016 but as a horror game?
we got a wolfenstein and quake enemy territory, so we need a doom one
also it's been 20 years and nobody made a game as good as quake 3, so let's get another sequel to that

Imagine if Splash Damage and Bethesda would have kept working together after Brink. Letting them work on the MP for the Wolfenstein games would be a no brainer. These days Hell Let Loose kind of scratches that itch for me though - even though HLL is more realistic / less arcade.Get Splash Damage and reboot Wolfenstein: Enemy territory. Free to play current engine.
I'd love to see what current id would do with their own new IP.
I'm sure they could do a rad new version of Quake, but that's a game that never really had an identity to begin with aside from real specific railgun and rocket launcher mechanics.

I agree with you for Quake 2 - 4 as they all felt very standard "evil alien forces" but 1 had a very specific vibe that was different from all the others. Not many games evoke a time and place for me the way Quake 1 does.
EDIT: Obviously Quake 3 was another thing entirely, but 2 and 4 were aesthetically pretty bland.
Man this game on tech 7 with the fluid movement and gunplay? Yes please!!!Get Splash Damage and reboot Wolfenstein: Enemy territory. Free to play current engine.
I get people asking for Quake and all but we now have seen Doom and Quake games with champions.
What we haven't seen is RTCW ET. Its time.
i certainly wouldn't complain if we got a direct, modern followup to Quake 1 but for better or worse that's just not the "brand" anymore.
i know quake champions is viewed as a raspberry but that's what Quake is. you're in an arena with a bunch of dudes and you gotta move fast and shoot fast.

I wish they get out of their comfort zone...
a carebears licensed sweet game perhaps.
They have the talent to do it i am sure, bring back the fuzzy feelings (rather than fillings) .
edit: i was not the author of the kill the carebears doom mod... nope
not me
not me at all

I'd definitely like to see them move onto Quake and see what they can do to revive that series.
Agreed. They have clearly lost their way when it comes to solid MP modes, especially balanced ones that have a long life.
Find a way to rescue Raven from whatever Call of duty support studio role they are in now and make 'Hexen 3: The Heretic'
They should try to make a new franchise, something vastly different from DOOM, Quake and RAGE. I would prefer to see a Quake reimagining from MachineGames after they wrapped up development of Wolfenstein III. That said, their new take on DOOM deserve trilogy on its own. I'm not sure what are id's post-launch plans for Eternal, though, considering Season Pass is called "Year One Pass".
I would genuinely like a new Commander Keen, or even better, something like Super Mario Maker but with ID assets.
It's not that I don't like Q2, I just have more options for sci fi FPS than eldritch horror FPS. I think that's why people are wanting Q1 again.
Well, they're people who play love and understand FPS games. Asking them to make some other genre would be like asking a top RPG developer to make an FPS...
Perhaps an MMO-lite similar to Destiny...
Which would surely never be attempted.
man the quake logo is pretty dope with the combination of a crescent moon and stake (nail?) would be awesome for a vampire/warewolf themed gothic horror game
Quake needs the reimagining treatment. Keep it in the style of 1, we don't need the sci-fi outside of arena
I don't expect them to do something that's not an FPS but it would be interesting to see them step outside of their comfort zone a little and do something like an Immersive Sim or FPS Metroidvania, or something like that.
That being said, if they returned to the style of the original Quake I would kinda love a full on big-budget Eldritch shooter, so I'd be happy if a reboot of that was their next game too. Provided it follows the style of Quake and not Quake 2.
Little faith in new IPs? Why, may I ask? Just this gen we've had tons of excellent new IPs such as Horizon Zero Dawn, Ori & The Blind Forest, Astral Chain, Helldivers, Until Dawn, Wreckfest, Death Stranding, The Outer Worlds, Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, etc.
I imagine i'm going to be wanting more Doom after Eternal. I think I'd love at least one more before they move onto something else. Definitely open to Quake though, if not something new. I do hope if they do Quake, they can bring back that style of deathmatch.
I'm not really an FPS fan. I play crossovers every now and then, especially ones involving exploration, but almost never get into straight FPS games (ESPECIALLY twitch shooters).
I just bought Doom 2016 on a whim a few weeks ago and love it. Runs great, feels amazing and is a really cathartic experience all around. The only other action-heavy FPS I've enjoyed this much was Bulletstorm, thanks to its super satisfying combat and otherworldly art direction. Really looking forward to Doom Eternal but after that, I'd like to see id try something different (preferably a new IP, but a new Rage wouldn't be so bad either).

I'd like a new single player Quake game. Preferably of the Quake 1 style.
Though with the scope of today's games, I'm sure they could tie them together.
I'd also like all the Quake campaigns to be ported to modern consoles like Doom got.
A remaster of Rage 1 would be great too.

Well, when I say little faith I mean from the huge companies. The smaller companies have been giving us great new stuff as you already mentioned (though I'm not a fan of Horizon). I'm assuming a new Id game would be a shooter and in this day and age, I have little faith in it being what I want, so I'd rather go with a bit more of a sure thing.
