Quake Review (PS4) - PSU

Quake seemingly returns from the dead and proves that its reputation as one of the greatest shooters ever is well earned to say the least.

CrimsonIdol1750d ago

Are you for real? It wasn't even a 9.5/10 when it came out!

Ratty1750d ago

Or you know maybe scores are entirely subjective.

CrimsonIdol1750d ago (Edited 1750d ago )

Yes, congratulations! I don't (and also at the time didn't) think it was a 9.5/10. and that was 25 years ago. In the Duke vs Quake debate I was firmly in the Duke camp. In fact in the Quake vs Doom camp I was firmly in the Doom camp. When you take away the technical achievements there's not much left besides some drab brown maps with 1 or 2 enemies in every corridor.

Even after playing around with the settings, the controls make it virtually unplayable using a controller.

KillBill1750d ago

What???? Have you never used a controller? Have you never played Quake??? What part of the controller use makes it unplayable for you but the vast many gamers that have used controller find it easy?

DJStotty1750d ago

Not sure whether you grew up with these kind of games or not, but i put the X Y sensitivity straight on 10, and i was flying around corriders fragging like i had never been away.

It's on Game Pass and I had a blast playing it today. Just imagine Quake 3 Arena on the Xbox series x OMG.

CrimsonIdol1750d ago

Quake 3 was the epitome of twitch mouse and keyboard gaming. Spinning around 180 degrees in a split second firing off a rocket in someones face then down at the ground to rocket jump to another level. imagining that on a controller kind of grosses me out.

Ratty1750d ago

Quake 3 was basically the original Quake with slower gameplay so I don't know why you're implying it was so fast.

CrimsonIdol1750d ago (Edited 1750d ago )

errrrr.... did you play Quake 3? I think you're thinking of Doom 3 ....?
Here's a primer for you:

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing36d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit36d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing36d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9236d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
