I’m envious that you get to experience it for the first time. The Quake games are so worth it. Quake 3 becomes more arena-based but is an absolute blast to play online against people. It was a good chunk of my gaming life. 1 and 2 are FPS royalty. Simple and to the point.
Q2 and Unreal tournament ruled my gaming life too. I started playing back in the "Heat.net" / MPlayer era. I miss those services so much
Definitely will play this.
Loved the newer doom games and absolutely loved Prodeus, so should love this too.
Question is do I play switch, PS5 at 120hz or PC with mouse.
(I have a kid so that list is order of how much I can play them)
I would go for PC, simply for the fact that you can get a Quake 2 key for super cheap, and the upgrade is free on PC for existing owners.
Adding on, if you haven’t played the System Shock remake yet, I highly recommend it!
Quake and Starfield are both first party Xbox games. Get PC Game Pass.
I played the Quake games originally on the PC, but they’re great with a controller. Just dial the sensitivity in and you’re good. That’s always my concern because I mostly play on consoles now too, but Id and Bethesda put a lot of care into their gamepad layouts and settings.
