Wolfenstein Dev: "A re-imagination of Quake 1 is and always will be on my bucket list"

I mean these folks did make an episode of Quake and it was excellent. Just because they took Wolfenstein one direction doesn't mean they'd do the same for a different IP.
After The New Colossus and Youngblood, hell no! I'd rather have a new Quake game made by id Software.
Eh, I'd prefer the guys at id making the new Doom to work on Quake. I'm playing through Wolfenstein 2 right now and it's just okay. The gameplay is alright, but the tone is all over the place and it just doesn't sit well with me. At one moment it's being deadly serious and the next it's trying to make a joke and it just never blends well.
The Strogg stuff never vibed with me like the original did. And of course the original is a far better singleplayer game. I was actually kind of annoyed when the Q4/Enemy Territory era happened and they went back to the Q2 setting.
That's coming from a big fan of Q2's multiplayer. There's something I adored about those physics and weapons.

I'd much rather have ID themselves tackle making remakes/new Quake games themselves than to have Machine Games do it and potentially fuck it up by adding modern FPS mechanics to the game like ADS.
I really enjoy the modern Wolf games.
But honestly, Ranger doesn't need to be having melodramatic inner monologues. He needs to be firing rockets at his feet to send himself into the stratosphere

Dusk gave me almost everything I'd want out of a Quake refresh. I'd be down if iD gave it the Doom treatment, but taking care to ignore Quake II and onwards, and going for a more sinister tone, rather than the sort of comic exaggeration they've imbued the Doom series with.
In a completely different type of an FPS. Also 1 out of 3 is not much of a success rate.
Frankly, just no.
Pretty much this.
Gustaffson might be able to do the cosmic horror aspects of the original Quake justice. His style of FPS isn't an exact fit, but perhaps his team can adapt to the Quake style.
Aw, I thought The Old Blood was pretty good. Let's call it 2 out of 4. Escape from Butcher Bay is also great, and The Darkness was fun.
I mean, he himself made a fantastic episode for Quake 1.
After TNC... no thanks.
These guys also seem to like to ignore the multiplayer legacy these games have, first with Wolfenstein (RtCW and ET being two of the greatest mp shooters of all time) and I'd expect a Quake they made to be heavily single player story focused with no multi at all.

I'm so fucking torn on Machine Games. On one hand, The New Order is a brilliant reimagining of Wolfenstein and in all honesty probably one of my all time favourite single player shooters. The Old Blood is great too. On the other hand, The New Colossus is utter tripe and one of the most disappointing sequels I've ever played. The core gunplay and encounter design in particular, which obviously be integral to a Quake game, is awful. So...I don't know.
I want to have faith that whatever Machine Games pull next is a return to form, so I guess I'll wait and see.

Quake 2 is still amazing (and got the RTX update very recently) while Quake, wich i replayed about 6 months ago has not aged as well, imho, despite not much time between the two games.
Art and setting are amazing but it would definitely benefit from a remake/reimagining, just don't make it a linear/boxed arena shooter and go ham with the chtulian/eldritch horror vibe.
... Can't deny i much prefer the Strogg scifi setting (even loved Quake Wars despite it being objectively subpar if not shit... I REQUIRE STROYANT!) but Quake 1 deserves to go back in the spotlight, bring it on!

And remove the need for couch jumping for extra height boost.
A Quake reboot can be doable on a controller. It likely wont have the skill ceiling of old Quake.
